Stun Racial Incomparable?

lukivah · 05-08-2009, 04:07 PM

About to roll a Bruiser and trying to decide on his race for pvp. Lots of posts on the issue but it seems to me that nothing compares to having an additional Stun on its own seperate timer for pvp. Am I wrong in assuming that? 3% hp, stealth, whatever it is when it comes down to it in pvp being able to throw out that extra stun if needed beats out everything else.

ogre is the best

Ogre is the only race worth creating. Pay no mind to the cat in my sig, I am an ogre at heart.

Barbarian is decent too. Ogre is probably the best.

Didn't barbarian run speed get nerfed?

Cuz I used to wish I was a barbarian.

Barbarians used to have 100% in pvp combat runspeed even while fully snared. Unlike PvE encounters PvP requires a lot of running to either catch someone or escape. It was hugely OP so it got nerfed. Barbarians are still good because they get an extra knock back that does damage. Human is a pretty good choice too because they get +7 Crushing Parry and Deflection which is very nice. The Orge bonus of 200 extra mit won't make much a difference in pvp. Half elves can debuff mit by 900 so bye bye orge bonus when fighting a half elf. Post sprint nerfs the half-elf is probably one of the the stronger pvp races now. I know my main is a half elf bruiser with over 9000 kills.

But from a PVE point of view, is it still Ogre followed by Barb/Human?

I would say Ogre is easily best, and Human is probably a close second. Barb, Frog, Iksar, and other HP races (races that gain 3% HP as a bonus) are also good.

I play as a kerra and they also have some nice benefits. Run speed, a Pact of the cheetah type ability, a mitigation debuff, and an extra de-aggro, which kinda makes kerra a nice reace for a more dps-oriented bruiser.

So does that mean kerra for dps with half-elf behind it?

Sarnak also has the run speed boost, 2% less resistability on all abilities, 25% snare penalty reduction.
Iksar get + defense / deflection / parry, 3% hps.

I'm partial to the stuff you just can't get elsewhere so went for Sarnak on my bruiser, he's not a main raiding char though.
