See topic.

I'm wanting to be a Death Knight. I dont want to be Viscanti as its pretty much the default race. What are your suggestions past that.

Thanks in advance.

See the new player thread, I gave a few suggestions there.

Sorry, My opologies for not reading that first. smile.gif

What forum might that new player thread be in?

The main thing to remember that if you aren't planning on buying a lot of credits, to stick with a race that has a racial specialisation and use that weapon.

Krokani = Bonecrusher
Igasho = Blademaster
Dwarf = Axelord
Orclach = Pureblade

They are all fairly tanky from memory which is very useful when you cant afford to get things like Trans Resistance or the like.

I'm undecided as to if I'm going to purchase credits.

I'm still new to the game, and dont really know the ups and downs of each weapon specializaion.

That being said,
I am kind of leaning toward a Krokoni or Loboshigaru, they both (from my limited knowledge) seem good?

Yea, Loboshigaru is really nice.

What attack types are magic? Moonburst? Any else?
Its only weak side of Loboshigaru.

They are both decent, but if you aren't planning on buying many credits Krokani would be a better choice, if only because of the increased accuracy with your weapons. You will want to hit as much as possible so that would be the best, and they are mildly tanky so you shouldn't have much problem bashing - influencing would be a pain in the ass though.

Moonburst would be Druid I guess?

Most mana draining attacks as well I think, definatly lash not sure about the guardians though but id guess it is.

Moonburst is moondancer wiccans best damage attack.

EDIT: As a low level low might fighter you wont have to worry about most mana kills though what with them being trans skills and all.

Yea but with base 16 const and level 3 health regen + Mercy you can put more focus on drinking mana.
With Lowmagic you can have 18 constitution and awasome health regen, as Lich in night he get additional nice boost to int and strength.

Only negative is magic weaknes, but as i said. What atacks are magic type, not magic source. I dont thikn there are plenty of them so its not that big weaknes, and you always can trans magic.
