Elf or Giant? which one will you choose? (or how do i start a poll)

neither since i was born a human i will stay a human. elf range sucks btw so if i WAS going to choose i'd go giant. giants can also range but its with a jav. basically the only good thing about elf range is 2 arrows at once and can walk/ride a horse and still shoot a bow that's it. the ranks take 2x the ap, if the first arrow misses the second does as well, i think i read somewhere that aiming speed may drop near the rank 1 range rank(s), CAN'T DUAL WIELD!, etc, etc.

I have been thinking about creating an elf, but I will do it later.

Creating a good character requires a lot of work.

My human character still has a lot of room for development.

Oooh, Koro, were you talking about me? Jk :P. But I have both and yeah, elf range aiming speed is lower than that of humans at rank 1 (200% aiming speed for elves compared to 300% by humans) However they have a redeeming point and that's a faster skill load time (Ranged attack only, I think I have to check the other skillz but I'm sure that's true) (.5 secs by elves compared to .8 by humans). I'll be training ranged soon but it's going to be hard since I'm not used to the slower load time.

Giants are better in every aspect (Compared to humans and elves) except the ranged attack is...kind of short and expensive, and misses sometimes. Also, the increased MP usage is kind of lame, especially since I rely heavily on my magics to support me. But they get an increased defense/protection points when using the defense skill, have a wider range when wm, and I'm not sure but I think they might have other specials. I'll need ta check later XD

Humans ftw. But, I made both an elf, and a giant. Elves are better at magic and ranged, but they die in like 1 hit. Giants have strength but I found stomp to be useless, and theyr range aka javelins fail, however they have awesome defense, health and power. Also, elves have discounts on shields, but giants have discounts on claymores and 2handers. So I cant really choose between them. Thus, GO HUMANS!

Well, I agree with you because Humans are more balanced. Humans have good health, good mana, and balanced stats. Good classes for humans are just about anything.

Giants are good if your someone who prefers stam over mana. Giants have good meele abilities, good stam, good defence, and good attack. They're lacking in the Mana department. Of course they're stomp comes in handy against badgersnaches if you don't have any fire based spells. Cood classes for giants are Tank, Swordsman, barbarian, Warrior, Axe Warrior.

Elves are good if you want to get places fast without a mount. Their defence and meele abilities are severly lacking, but they make up for it with range and spells. They have decent stam and good mana. Their hide ability comes in handy if you need to sneak by an enemy (If they could do G3, they would be perfect for Baol infutration). Good classes for an elf would be Ranger, Scout, Bowman, mage, healer, or rouge.
