Are elves just a flavour race now?

[Emili]

Yeah, depends on which epic. Hence why I included the Rocksplitter/Earthgrab option as well.

I'll probably make sure to have both categories available for the variety of epic trash.

Even so... the Drow, Tr'd Horc, Helf or human pally easily offers more in option than elf and more damage output. The Horc being better with scimi or falchion, the helf and human better feating on a feat starved class and easily adjust for twf ... the typical twf khopesh using pally is human and is more DPS than an elf with scimi aps. All can grab a pair of Rocksplitter/Earthgrab likewise and the horc, helf and human will usually be stronger with them there also.

The more I look at TR'ing many of my elven melee the more I'm inclined to long to be some other race for equal and better enhancements. My bard and rogue are both elves and inline for my next TR's and with both Helf, human, even drow or another race offer better tweaking.
