Well, I've been wondering... How would a Tae'dae Axelord (or Pureblade) with a waraxe (or claymore) with a really high damage and two Vernal Knight runes (+15 for all weaponstats) do? This plus the bonus of the Paladin guild skills.

What do you think a guy like this one would do?

Die a lot...

Tae'dae are poor race for player combat really due to their low speed.

And if you want to go for damage then waraxe with elemental runes

Wounding go for great axe with wounding runes.

I find tae'dae to be really good for hunting and influenceing with very very fast weapons.

They do very well in pvm but in pvp they are poor, but then compare them to humans which so well in both.

So I guess for a two-handed warrior Loboshigaru or Taurian are the way to go. Strength and Constitution high, and the disadvantages aren´t that bad... Maybe the best ones for damage over speed and wounding.

I dunno.. a Tae'dae with Stag would be a very scary tank with Medicine Bag and only a level 2 balance penalty. Not only that, but they'd get that small boost to dexterity, and a 1/4 health insta-kill, which, with their insane strength, might just be plausible.

The only reason I have to changeling into a tae'dae is when I want to pull off a 2500 damage or so one hit kill on an insolent underling. Otherwise, I don't have much use for them, besides RP.

Tae'dae, properly used, would seem to make excellent ego tanks, with a sip bonus and one of the best charismas in the game.

Loboshigaru and taurian are pretty good races for warriors.
