    Default Why nobody play dwarf race anymore ?

    Why nobody play dwarf nowadays ?

    let's try to figure this out..

    maybe too much abuse of the stats INT DEX and CHA ?

    what you think ?

    Yes, and dont forget that you can get wis to attack and damage along with the others. Dwarf is the only race you can get con to damge (but not to hit), and you have to put a whole lot of points in the racial tree to get it. Does not seem fair to me, but I doubt you would ever see an enhancement tree that gave you con to hit and damage as they would probably consider it op. I play on sarlona and I admit that I see few dwarfs nowadays. Too bad. Maybe if they revamped the racial tree and you could get con to damage for say 11 or so points things would change.

    Or maybe you're not paying attention, or maybe it's the server you are on.

    They could probably bring it further down into the tree for certain, however keep in mind that it is a racial tree and not a universal tree like the others are.

    Perhaps dwarves are low on advantages? Or short on good abilities? Or perhaps they are just better for building wide, not tall?

    (sorry...)

    I've only got the 1 dwarf currently but he's also my main raiding character, a mastermaker arty specced for generalised party support - decently durable melee type with moderate damage, healing, curatives, trapping, buffs & a little crowd control plus handy shields, he's a lot of fun to play even if he's not the best at any one role.
    I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was, now what's it is weird and scary to me.

    Dwarf is pretty popular on Hardcore server for first runs without any ship buffs etc.

    It's just easy to overlook dwarves.

    True.

    A human, a half-orc, and an elf walk into a bar…

    the dwarf walks under it.

    People aren't playing dwarf anymore because they are on the racial reincarnation wheel and are obviously saving Dwarf for their last race because it's the best and they want to keep it!

    dwarf is currently my favorite race, looks the most like myself, the dragonmark is the best one, you get max dex (more dodge) and hit points in the tree making you extra tough, and a fantastic one hander exotic weapon for free!

    I just did my racials as a dwarf and I'm playing a dwarf cleric level 30 so maybe it's just your experience.

    It is a great tree actually. Hit points, constitution and % hit points are all worthy racial action points. If you have all the racial points the dwarven axe enhancements are also great for both artificer and cleric/paladin especially if single weapon fighting for the bonus strikethrough

    No, many people play dwarf. Just look at DDO audit.

    The race that not too many people playing are halflings: the little people, tabaxi and shifters.

    Tabaxi is new and paid expansion only I can understand;
    and shifters are kind of new too and a premium paid race.

    Halflings are the weakling free to play race that nobody wants to play. No CON, and no special spell power buffs nor is there any +2s in INT, WIS or CHA, or STR.

    I do see some players running dwarves around. As said before, it may just be your game perception from last days, since the racial reincarnation grind or some coincidence at your server.
    One of my main is a dwarf, generally pally. I love the race.
