    I made separate categories for that reason.

On such little data one can not write off a race unless you are going by gut feeling alone which is hardly scientific. Take the Elaar for instance, almost nobody is running them up in Primus. Are they really that underpowered? Doubtful, but their abilities are less obvious so they are harder to grasp. I think in the long haul the ability to keep a hold of your weapon and not get dealt crits as often will pay off after 100s of fights. A little off topic but I think with so many unexplored possibilities it is to soon and unfair to say things are...unfair.
    I gotta agree with this. With the cost of changing races though i'm not keen on swapping around to see what works well for various styles. All I have learned so far is this:

    Sniveler - was nice for speed rage, but tanks with warcry and counterstrikes punished the low health. I'm curious to try on a 2H rage, but not game to spend 130T if it doesnt work out.
    Dunder - isnt great for 2H rage. initiative penalty just makes nearly all their matchups worse
    Trug - good for 2H rage, but like you said, they tire out quickly. my trugs run out of steam pretty fast against tanks and the few theatrics with show off. also the anti-bleed doesnt seem that handy on something with paper thin armor.

    Yup plenty of builds to still see, I do wonder though if any build can eat those power shots from Summit, Caine, Lulwut, or Belgarad and have a chance, 1300 a pop with 1 handers???

    I have one coming up myself Cel, a sprite who will eventually have 175+ agil, 140+ pres (and is size 88 to boot) who has show off and Heavy scarring to 10 already. Should be a defensive monster when i am done who will either bleed you or steal all your energy to win (hell i might put 100 fights on her today just to see if i can get her up to these rages and see how she does).

    I like the Spites, so far I see them being used by War and Theatrics, I'm curious how they would do as a Rage. Not sure if their defensive bonus gets nullified by berserk but if it doesn't I wonder if a new kind of Rage build is lurking about. Maybe get some absurd level of agility and use slash or lunge if berserk negates the defensive buff...hmmmm.

    switch everyone over to axes and maces which would be a huge mistake I think
    Dont think i said all, but anyway i changed Narvalo from blades to axe/mace and went from 59% W/L to 61% W/L.
    And Danioji why dont you bring Chuck up to primus and show us how its done, i admit im stuck with my theatrics atm.

    Don't think I'd bet the farm on a 2% increase but it's better than a stick in the eye!

    Chuck Norris is a pseudo-defensive theatrics experiment, don't think he's the guy to beat up on all the power Ragers in Primus, but I have a couple other new kids making their way up which just might do the trick! Stay tuned!

    Ok in 1 hour I hope to get a challenge threw to Delta/Summit with Cel and see for myself if a fast attacking theatrics can over come these new duel wield rages, the glove is thrown! If the challenge goes threw :/

    Cel is a sprite with the following stats/skills:

    Str 83 Int 79 Agil 175 Stam 97 Size 88 Pres 120 Chi 81
    with the following skills at 10 Blades, GV, Armor Movement, Show Off, Heavy Scarring, and then at 8 called shot, signature move, finishing blow

    With 2 daggers and the 10 armor movement and the 175 agil i'd like to think she is one of the fastest things on the sands right now although she is 3 trains away form 186 agil (got to love those +10 achievements) so she will be even faster once those are done. Also with the 175 agil and being a sprite with 10 create distance her defense should be rather high.

    The answer to that question is 100% yes, I'll tell you that now. Daggers might cause you trouble though on your way up since you'll meet your fair share of war glads as well.

    Cel is a sprite
    I think the word you're looking for is SPITE. Unless of course CEL is a fairy.

    I look forward to seeing how you fare in the top 10.
