EverQuest 2 Assassin Guide

Your first choice when creating your character is what race to choose. There are
two mindsets to this task.  One person will want the race that is the absolute best for their
class’ primary stat, while the other wants a race that looks pleasing to their eyes, and
won’t mind spending hours a day seeing this character on their screen.
So if you are of the first mindset and are looking to get the race with the highest
combintations of Agility and Strength, then you would like the Ogres, Wood Elves, Kerran,
or Halflings as they have the highest starting combination of strength and agility at 45
total.  The drawback to being a Wood Elf or Hafling is that they are a Qeynos aligned
race, and that would require you to do the betrayal quest to move to Freeport.  Betrayal
quest is long and aggravating and definitely not for everyone.  You will most likely need
the help of friends to accomplish this task. 
The next likely choice for a race would then be the Ratonga with their 30 Agility, 10
Strength, and that rodent cuteness that players seem to enjoy. Ratongas appear to be the
most common chosen race for an Assassin.  They also have a racial trait that allows them
to lower hate with a target.  This makes Ratongas a strong choice for a damage dealing
class as they will not generate as much hate as most other races with their racial trait.

If you are one of the latter types of players, then the choice of race matters little for
you, just as long as it is pleasing to your eyes.  Spend some time customizing your
appearance, but the clothing colors will matter little.
