Thread: Races Pros & Cons
Another point was that min/max caps make things difficult.
So I went and got that info as well.
Bothan
Min..300/300/300....600/600/400....400/400/300
Max 1000/500/400...1300/750/500...1100/600/500
The species with the highest possible quickness. One of the better action users
Human
Min..400/400/400....400/400/400....400/400/400
Max 1100/600/500...1100/550/500...1100/600/600
The baseline species
Mon Calamari
Min..300/300/300....300/300/450....600/600/450
Max 1000/500/400...1000/550/450...1300/800/650
The species with the highest focus. No one comes close. Considering this is a stat that as yet has no 2 hour buff, makes for great doctors and riflemen.
Rodian
Min..300/300/300....500/500/750....300/300/350
Max 1000/500/400...1200/650/850...1000/500/550
The species for best overall action users
Trandoshan
Min..550/600/700....300/300/300....300/300/400
Max 1250/800/800...1000/450/400...1000/500/600
Best species for constitution.
Twi'lek
Min..300/300/550....550/600/300....400/300/300
Max 1000/500/650...1250/700/400...1100/500/500
Another outstanding action user, hampered by regen.
Wookie
Min..650/650/450....500/400/400....400/450/400
Max 1350/850/550...1200/550/500...1100/650/600
Best health user. Second best mind.
Zabrak
Min..500/300/300....600/300/300....300/300/700
Max 1200/500/400...1300/450/400...1000/500/900
Best willpower. But all other secondaries are the lowest max of all other species.
So there you go.
Was interesting finding out possibilities with skill points.
So far the only winner is Mon Calamari and that's only if you are a Mind user.

Zabraks regen health way to slow and they are always horny where as us humans are just sexy.
Your point is not valid because they can just use stimpacks.
If you want to be viable in combat, you have to have novice medic at the very least. Anyone who doesn't have novice medic is either new, or does not care about being effective at all (thus they wouldn't care about zabrak being the best race anyway).
While i do agree that humans look better (those are role playing reasons), if i had to do it over again i would have gone zabrak because of the increased power that race offers.
My 2 creds on the subject...
Personally, I'm a bothan. why u ask? Couple of reasons. 1) they are small. If someone is looking for targets, you better believe they'll pick the biggest one if they havea choice. Proved that over and over again in the short time i playedDaoC. 2) The high action is very nice, lol and 3) (and most importantly) i just felt like it. I saw myself playing a Bothan, so i did! Thats how u should truly pick yer species. That said, guud job Ivoni ![]()
Oh, and Xytroncore, yah, that max of 400 is a pain!
And Falator, The whole object of being a Commando is to kill it and kill it quik, not to weather a few hits
So medic shouldn't be a big thing, and just b/c sumone dosen't play lik u, dosen't mean they r a newb.

I dont really agree with this yes it helps in one on one pvp but in group PvP a few doctors or medics are all thats needed I am thinking about medic but as it is I can beat alot of medic combatants becuase I can do so much damage so fast.
They cant heal fast enought to keep up with me and when there are spending time healing themselves I am still hitting them with my krayt tissue launcher pistol or flaming them. In one on one PvP I start off with low blow then I hit them with flame single 2 if both land its 90% of the time a 2 shot kill combo even when they are buffed becuase of the 50% increase to a KDed opponent. (6k damage * .25)/.50 = 2750 damage in one shot that will take out all most any player even if they are buffed now if they have armor and they are buffed It wont but it will still take them down alot and if I survive long enought with my buffs and armor I can repeat the process getting them the second time. plus last ditch with a my 400 damage launcher is up to 4k damage per shot so even in pvp thats 1k damage per shot and it has a good chance of hitting there mind pool and thats sure death..
HiyaEiseiKaishi : Even commandos have to heal and after 9 seconds or so waiting for your special to cool down, you are most likely going to be in need of a heal. the great mind regen also helps against mind damage. Oh and i am a human, not a zabrak(and i am kicking myself every day because of it lol).
SanTsu : Even a combat medic can't be watching over you constantly. Sometimes you need the ability to heal yourself because they just healed another person maybe. Kind of unrelated, but could please post your skills if it isn't too much trouble. I had been thinking about picking of the dirty fighting line of smuggler, but ididn't think i would have the points to get commando, smuggler and pistoleer (i would also love some tka lol).
Why?
So if your teammate, or worse, your doc get's incap you can dash over and Stim-B him back in action.
That said, it's your character and feel free to do what you like with it.
I wrote this kinda half hazardly and made errors.
It was just interesting to see how they are all basically the same.
I really feel for Wookies. No offense but they get the shaft not wearing armor and get diddly in return.
Well right now im
Master Smuggler
Pistoleer 0/2/2/4
TKA 0/0/0/0
Commando 0/0/4/0
Scout 2/0/0/0
I am going to get rid of the rest of scout and put that into either meditation for healing between fights or medic for healing in fights. Im still up in the air about this one I like TKA but medic might be the better choice.
I will drop the pistoleer specials when I need the points since the smuggler pistol moves are enough. I am weak on defenses but I have as much speed as a nonbounty hunter, non pistoleercan have and good accuracy standing and moving.
There are better combat templates but I am a master smuggler first and formost the rest is just to keep me alive in the dangerous worlds we travel in.
I say any race is good enought to do any profession so pick the one that you like.
a couple of corrections ![]()
scout 1/0/0/0
master marksman 4/4/4/4
brawler 4/0/0/0
also thqat should be not a master pistoleer.
And I still say all races are good enought to play any profession so play what you like. ![]()
Heh thanks for posting your template. I am thinking about picking up dirty fighting and some pistoleer skills in place of the minor ch skills i currently have. I don't think i could live without at least novice scouting though lol. No camps and the inability to go up hills at more than a crawl would be pretty hard to deal with. I also notice you don't have any medical skills heh. I guess that means you use a lot of spices.
Are you hit enough with only marksmanship 2 though? I only have novice pistoleer now, but i miss a great deal it seems.
