Character stats/awaken

[Undeadhunter]

Hi,

I recently made a WC and I was wondering if I should keep playing him or just start over with another race due to somethings I've read.

When you awaken and become a ISS Enchanter all the buffer classes get the same skills, but you keep your traits, is there one race/class that's "better" in terms of starting to (eventually) get a ISS enchanter since their traits are way better?

Besides that, how much doe stats affect your ability to play another role? I started out as an Orc Mystic, will I be able to (decently) play a dagger class? Or will I be pretty much crippled to play anything else.

Besides the "play what you want most" reply I have no real connection to my char/race and it's only at lv52 so no biggy to restart.

Dark Elf is the popular choice because of their racial skills. It doesn't affect your ability to be a good ISS by a whole lot. If someone else comes along with better info, probably defer to them.

I think ISS Enchanters have fighter stats, so your orc mystic would have fighter stats after awakening. If it's the same for all orcs (Destroyer vs WC), you'd be looking at having a lot of HP compared to other ISS Enchanters. Not sure though.

You'd be given fighter stats if you went dagger, making you proficient at being that class. Same with all of the other possible classes.

You cannot be anything except an ISS Enchanter unless you have a Stone of Destiny, just in case you didn't know. Otherwise, in order to become a different class you would need to level up an appropriate subclass and turn it into your dual class.

Orcs make fine Iss, no matter what you start as when you awaken to Iss you get the fighter stats for your race
If your Chicken has a SoD you can awaken it to Iss, it will retain Kamael fighter stats and racials but gain prophet skills for the purpose of skill replacement

Was more referring to the subclass, is it still useful to have a sub or is it better to just say screw it and make a new char (and thus be able to awaken it).

Don't think I'll be getting an awakened char any time soon, but just want to be informed before making a choice to keep going with my WC.
