Help selecting race, specialization, and traits: BM
Hi folks, longtime IRE player here on my first foray back into Achaea since 2001. I'm liking the look of the blademaster class so far. I started up as a horkval, as I recalled the physical damage resist was around that of ringmail way back when. I have a few questions.
1.) Is Horkvali carapace still on par with forged ringmail?2
2.) I understand strength and con are my stats of choice, and DR starts at 13str, so I was thinking Claviger with the +1 strength trait to hit 13/11/15/11. This sound along the right path?
3.) Is nimble necessary for blademaster pvp? How much of a buff to my speed and how much of a malus to my tank is it giving me?

I recommend a split between str and con as best you can. Str increases your damage for attacks. Con obviously is going to give you more health. I personally am a dwarf con spec with a few arties.
Nimble is a must if you're going to be doing combat. Most abilities are balance so you'll want that extra speed. Adding bands and Nimble you can get extremely fast.

Pretty much every person in the game will want either nimble or quick-witted (depending on whether balance or equilibrium is more important for them), whether they're interested in combat, hunting, exploring, tradeskills, or anything else that can involve using balance or equilibrium. The speed boost is always worth the reduced resistances, and for most people the reduced resistances won't even be very noticeable; it multiplies your total resistances by 90%, so it only makes a big difference if you have very high resistances already.
