I put a lot of time into that post too. :(

Well, to answer your question I always have the most fun playing dwarf warriors. Or maybe that's just that I have fun playing dwarf anything, because I like the RP. From a mechanics perspective I like the finesse of playing elves, and the quick skill gains.

As to what to pick first, yea Abernyte said it right. Who are you and what are you going to be fighting? I still say mace is one of the best all around specs, and a solid choice.
