    Halflings are the cutest. Cutest=Best. Therefore Halflings are the best.

    xD I was wondering more because of racial traits and such!

    IMHO Human.... because they get 3 more points for feats.

    I originally rolled half-orc bc I thought the racials were perfect for a GWF - +2 Dex, + 2 Con or Str, +5 crit dmg, +10% run speed entering combat. I just didn't like the way they looked.

    2 Dex as a GWF secondary stat is 2% crit chance, 1% aoe dmg reduction, 1% deflect chance. 2 Str is 2% dmg, 2% dot reduction, 2% Sta regen. Or 2 Con is 2% Resistance and 4% Hp.

    So I took a look at humans. +2 any stat, +3% Def, 3 heroic feat points. Now looking at those 3 heroic feat points, most builds I've seen have 2/3 Disciple of Str and 2/3 Devastating Crit. So those 3 feat pts can get you an additional 2% dmg from Str (equiv to +2 Str without the other bonuses) and 5% Crit severity (like the Orc racial). Plus another feat point to get anything from 3% toughness, 1% hp, 3% less stamina drain, etc.

    So Humans can nearly replicate Orc bonuses with +2 Dex, and feats. Better than Orc? I'm not that mathmatically inclined, but it LOOKS pretty comparable, but having it as feat points provides a lot more flexibility in the feats you pick, if instead of all dps, you want more defensive bonuses.

    Doesn't matter rly. Pick race u like to look at. 1% crit chance 5% crit sever is nothing end game. It's all about greater tenebrous encahts\ perfect plague fire\ ancient sword & knot etc\ lvl 10 enchants \ augment pets with epic gear, basically it's all about gear.
    Carnage TR Dragon shard - retired? hell yea it's retired along with Nevewinter

    Seze - Rogue - Necropolis - <3 RIFT

    I think the differences are really negligible. Any advantage that one race has over another is so marginally small that the difference can be covered through other sources like gear and spec. I went with half-orc because I think it's the best fit for the personality of the GWF's play style. I also like their look and the lore behind them. It's all rather subjective.

    half orc you get 5% more critical severity and a 10% speed boost every time you enter combat which is a must for melee characters. If you hate the half orc, I cant see why you would at least they don't look like orcs in other mmos. Warhammer and wow come to mind, you could roll a boring human.

    Well, they don't look like the gorilla Orcs in this game because they are HALF Orc, haha. xD To be honest, I was thinking half orc or human. You guys have made good points so I'm just gonna play with the character creation to see what I like best... I get very picky when I'm making a character, lol.

    Thanks, everyone!

    Half-orc, Human or Tiefling. The Tiefling's damage bonus against enemies under 50% is useful for any DPS.
