well, i've been playing for about 2-3 weeks now.i've played ALOT of the classes from Wizards to Monks. (i don't know how much that is. rotfl.)i've looked at SKs for a bit now and i just have a few questions. <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/49869fe8223507d7223db3451e5321aa.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="21" height="17" />1. some people say race doesn't matter, but it kind of does in a way. <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /> what race is best for an SK? i'm stuck between Ratatonga and Human.2. are they worth making at this point? because i have seen some topics degrading them like they are the worst class in the game. are they really that bad?3. SKs are quite easy to solo with right? because i solo 75% of the time and it's hard to play Group-Only classes if you solo most of the time. <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/136dd33cba83140c7ce38db096d05aed.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /> - - - - - - -NOTE: i'm 13, so bare with me. heh.

Ogre, troll, barb, human, etc. Go to ten ton hammer and look up the various racial traditions.Dwarf if you want to betray. I choose troll for the regen bonus and +slashing bonus.2. are they worth making at this point? because i have seen some topics degrading them like they are the worst class in the game. are they really that bad?I cant answer that. But I can tell you compared to the other plate tanks, you will never be the best at anything. Zerks will out DPS you, guards will take hits better, pallies and guards will have better aggro.3. SKs are quite easy to solo with right? because i solo 75% of the time and it's hard to play Group-Only classes if you solo most of the time. <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/136dd33cba83140c7ce38db096d05aed.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /> - - - - - - -NOTE: i'm 13, so bare with me. heh. Yeah Sk's probably solo better then any other plate tank. I guess that is the one area they do shine at. But I have heard that goes away once you hit ROK.</blockquote>

thanks for answering!so i guess they are pretty good except when it hits RoK.i don't have RoK yet but i'm getting it soon so i guess i should go with a Fury, like i originally planned, or go with a Zerker.maybe i'll make a SK when Shadow Odyssey comes out. <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />or when the devs actually do fix them. <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/136dd33cba83140c7ce38db096d05aed.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />
