Out of all races kobolds make the worst skalds. They got higher dex & qui, but first of all dex isn't an important stat for skalds, since they get no skills which are affected by dex (or at least not a decent level in that skill). Maybe the higher qui will make you swing a tiny bit faster, but that doesn't make up with the loss of str & hp by far. You say you are going 1-handed, which is pretty useless as a skald too. You'll hardly ever block with your non-trainable small shield skills, while your damage output will be a lot lower than with a 2h weapon. Best options imo are:

- Make a troll and put 15 in con and 10 in char.
- Make a dorf and put 15 in str and 10 in char.
- Make a norse and put 10 in str, 10 in con and 10 in charisma.

I hate them with all my heart!
Only mid tank I fear more are the Zerker, but they rarely get close to me fast enough, skalds do!

all these chars are affected by the increasing resists, IMO skalds are the lest affected of them, you still have your good melee damage, and the utilities still works.

IMO Skalds are one of the best support tanks in the game.

It's not the lower dmg my dds do that bothers me tho, but they get resisted a whole damned lot lately. Strange, compared with other characters I play, I have to say that skald spells get resisted like 30% more than other classes...

Skalds could get some attention tho, since their speccing options are very limited and all they got since patch 1 are some crappy resist chants, all separate even. It wouldn't hurt to allow them to use medium shields for example, but only trainable up til like level/2 or so. Would give us atleast an alternative speccing option. The only thing we have to think about when speccing atm is to which level to raise weapon spec.:rolleyes:
