Well I just like advice of some sort.

Are Merian Lords good for pvp and bashing both or are there other races that would be better? because I'm a Taurian right now and considering becoming a Merian Lord for RP reasons but also if the combat is better in PVP and bashing?

Well Thanks for your time

Merian Lord is a solid race.

Stats:

Merian lord:
16str, 14dex, 15con, 13int, 11cha, 14size
level 2 health/mana regen in water, level 2 fire penalty, level 2 electrical penalty, level 2 asphyxiation bonus.
level 1 eq bonus.

Taurian:
16str, 12dex, 16con, 10int, 10cha, 16size
(The +2str from enrage is essentially +1 with weighting and the other warrior strength buffs)
level 1 health regen always, level 2 cutting resist, level 2 electric resist, level 1 magic penalty


At endgame, when you have Surge which converts maxmana to maxhealth, the +3 int is exactly as much health as the +1 con, so the merian lord is just as tanky as the taurian. The Taruain has better resistances, since the Merian has some non-negligable penalties, but the Merian also has the extra regen most of the time. The eq bonus can be really nice at times, though not nearly as helpful to a warrior as to non-warriors.

So, the differences aren't major. Taurian may be a bit better, but Merian Lord is certainly not a bad choice by far.
