Best race is half-orc. Strength and Dexterity are your most important stats. Racial bonuses have a minor influence on your performance though so just pick whatever race you like best. Intelligence can be a nice stat to stack as well, or so I've heard, because it reduces the cooldown on your powers..? Something like that.…
IIRC, the drow in the Forgotten Realms don't ride spiders. Spiders are revered! They ride giant lizards, last I checked. Not that this is actually relevant to the thread in any way. :3
Doesn't even seem like the drow have actual drow colours. They're more like a dusky grey-brown skin colour, and correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they even get to have white hair?
Being new to the game, can someone explain the nerfs to me? Are they not live yet? I can find details about HOW they're nerfing the class dating all the way back to July, but in-game none of them seem to be in effect yet. Sorry if this is covered elsewhere in the thread, it seemed a bit specific to try a forum search.
