Dwarf is best race? :)

[LightFall]

Without auto-targetting, it seems to me that dwarves are the best choice.
They are smallest and hardest to target, easiest to hide etc :)
Or not? :)

[freeze_SD]

just use prone

[Thorpeyrox]

It makes sense in some ways, ealier today I saw someone state they want to be a stealthy orc?!?! there 7ft+, how does he expect to hide?

[Henu989]

Alfar are ~same height and not as FAT.
Making them superior even in this.

[FunWithDrugs]

No. They smell, and their women are as hairy as their men.

Who wants to play a diminutive human anyway?

[Gierod]

lol ways they are good for hideing
but they also need to be killed just for the simple fact they r fat smelly

[shnedit]

Dwarfs are good yes. They can be used as portable tables.

[Lord Aragorn]

haha Alfar all the way...
When you noobs join and your walking in the woods then feel a dagger soar through your chest....that will be me. Either that or Ill just clothesline you....=)

[Nexus]

Well you say that, but a furry could equally respond with 'well mahirim are the best because they can run on all fours!' and that could be responded with 'well humans are the best because they have no inherent weakness and can adapt to do anything'.

[Venoran]

well humans are the best because they have no inherent weakness and can adapt to do anything

[FunWithDrugs]

Humans are for boring people.

[Jaded]

ya well when my dwarf slams his big hammer in your face you remember this day. and besides we make the best crafters ever

[Spartan791]

Chrono needs to see this thread. :p

[TokFarlig]

Dwarven Might!

[Nitewolf]

ya well when my dwarf slams his big hammer in your face you remember this day. and besides we make the best crafters ever

but only if you manage to jump high enough to hit any face :D

[Spartan791]

Dwarven Might!


I'll drink to that.


Although I am a human.

[KwayZee]

Being small has disadvantages too.

[Reaper1122]

What disadvantage is that in a forest? Besides he might trip over a root and get lost for hours on end unable to see over the bushes.

[Jaded]

why after i take out your legs your face will be right there ready to be smashed

[Nitewolf]

nah, all i have to do is jump a little and your little stubby arms can't reach them either ;)

[kendis]

I understand Chrono and that dwarfs are nice, but let's face it, Humans are here to stay :)

[Jonkar]

Not being able to jump over trees, rocks etc.. Which will mean it makes it easier for other races to catch up to the dwarf.

Having to swim in small rivers, where larger races could barely stand/run.

Just two examples.

[Realbigdeal22]

Dwalf is not the best race. They might be little, but their hand are small too. Thats mean less range whit melee attack.. Think about it.

why would any dwarf with half a brain be in the forest? lets see you get away from me when we in the caves.

hands have nothing to do with reach and if your talking about arms well we can sprint up on you. you'll see how good dwarfs are. i might have to make a dwarven strike team just for all you haters out there

[tsalin]

dwarves are the best race for inflicting damage to the ankles and shins :rolleyes:

[Ostehapz]

Don't you think dwarfs weight too much to sprint? :lmao:

[Beorg]

He'd just pull a Gimli and chop you in the balls.

That's why dwarves stand and fight. Dwarves may move slower, but there is no need to move when you're sitting in a castle armed to the teeth with the best weapons in Agon.

Ok but low blow do less damage then higher attack to reach heads or the body.

Dwalfs wont be able to reach mi head. Specaily mahirim. How do you think they could hit the head of a mahirim? they are the tallest race.

Me, i would create a human and strike on top of your head whit ease.

[Khael[SUN]]

if by best you mean short and ugly, then yes.

[IthroZada]

If it comes to court, then yes dwarves are the best, legally an attack below the waist is considered assault... or battery, whichever... but above the waist can be construed as attempted murder. Therefore no dwarf can ever be tried for trying to kill someone, just attempting to maim them.

[Ababoba]

Dwarf is best race? :)
Yes.

just use prone

No.

Htting different parts of the body won't do more damage, so no you don't deal more damage by hitting the head :bang:

it dont matter where where i hit you in the front low or high wont change the damage done. only front or back

[Pekuloz]

Another bonus as Dwarf is your stench of ale, vomit and sweat. So your enemies think twice before charging into hand to hand combat.

In comparison though, Ork hygiene leaves much to be desired.

[Realbigdeal22]

Ok ,but dwarlf still small. small from any part of their body. If their equip a axe, they would have less range so their would have to be so near, they would have less strategy. Human would equp a sword, turn around you and try to take a distance while hitting you.

We can also jump so when you would try to hit mi legs, i would jump, run away a lil bit and come by hitting you whit mi 2 h or long sword. Dwarf have a chance, but they are not the best. Only balance. The human wont get too near to a dwarf because they wold fear to get hit by they ricial bonus hammer. It would be like steal hands small body vs long sword. tall legs.

When you play wow, Gnome rogue and gnome warrior are the best because its hard to click on them. Darkfall online is different.

do you know all the racial bonuses?

[Thoric]

Fuck yea

[Realbigdeal22]

do you know all the racial bonuses?

I know that dwalf have bonus whit hammer. Mahirim mount stance and claw weapons. Ork, more damage whit melee attack. Mirdain, magic and Dex.Alfar, Magic. Human balance.

[mrkram]

Dwarves HOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Xez]

smelling like an ork meets little retarded alcoholic human... sure they are the best at... hmmm ...

[heliumbox]

ya well when my dwarf slams his big hammer in your face you remember this day. and besides we make the best crafters ever

Toe*

[Owachi]

Dwarf Power!!!

[Wreatch]

just use prone

Your kidding right?


Please see porthios' thread about there NOT being a prone option.

[Realbigdeal22]

They are the best hybrid because they are balance. Not like other race wo have to aim to one skill tree to be good.

If there were any "best" race, then everybody would be it, or the devs would have only them. All races will have their advantages and disadvantages, but these are not it. Moreover, you cannot say that a human would prevail over a dwarf when you create such a ludicrous battle scenario. What would the dwarf do when you were sprinting, turning around in mid-air and charging at him? Stand there and drink a pint? I most certainly think not. There are too many variables in a fight like that--it cannot be recreated in mere text.

[Realbigdeal22]

Im just glad that you try to make dwalf look good because i wonna see many dwalf in the game. if someone like to support them, we would have more chance to see many of them. So keep it up.

[nate4449]

PvPing at crotch level.

We dwarves aren't very nice.

[darkdeleter]

that is a good point

[IcePillow]

Yeah! Dwarf ftw!

[Calibos]

Yeah, they may be small in height...but in width, they're fat as fuck.

[Eternalsinner]

Shorter frame = shorter arms = shorter reach?

[Master25]

Say it with me.

D-W-A-R-F, Dwarf.
D-W-A-R-V-E-S, Dwarves.

[Bloody blade]

Shorter legs too, so they might run slower. Also there is a crouch option, so i doubt that dwarves will get a huge advantage when sneaking. Also, dwarves aren't that good at spells and healing, so that is a disadvantage. There is no "best race."

[Xarthas]

Quote (Claus): Monsters in Darkfall all move at different speeds. A zombie is slow, and a wolf moves pretty fast. Some monsters will be slower than players, others will be faster. That being said, player speed also varies a lot. A dwarf is slightly slower than a human, and a player wearing full platemail armor, is slightly slower than a player wearing leather armor. But it does not end there – we have various skills and spells in Darkfall that will alter a players running speed – such as the skills “Running” and “Sprint”, spells such as “Haste”, “Slow”, “Stun”, “Root” etc. Other skills may influence movement speed indirectly, such as “Wear Heavy Armor”, which will reduce the penalties on movement speed by wearing the mentioned full platemail.
Each race have advantages and disadvantages.
