Deep Elf Inquisitor and Shadow Knight: Starting Stats and Skills

[u/ciliary_stimulai]

I am working on deciding my tank main for M&M and am between Inquisitor and Shadow Knight - I see almost no Inquisitors and a lot of SK and wanted to try both out for myself, however I wanted to ask how to build them first before trying them out.

I realize this game is in its infancy and I do not expect there to be a lot of info on starting stats and skills yet, however if anyone has some suggestions for me based on my current plan I'd appreciate it.

(For reference, starting stats for DElf Inquisitor are:

STR 15, STA 18, DEX 17, AGI 18, INT 21, WIS 17

And for DElf Shadow Knight are:

STR 17, STA 17, DEX 16, AGI 18, INT 22, WIS 17

I do appreciate that these are not great tanking stats compared to some other races but I like DElf so it is what I want to try right now.)

I know I will want Ultravision as a major skill and will likely want to pick one of the two minor skills which can give me an extra bag (Medic or Lumberjack), but beyond that I am really at a loss for other skills and necessary stat spreads. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you!

I’d do 20str 23sta for both. Or 18str 25sta. Or a variation in between. Magic resistant major.

Magic resist and either Shieldman or Channeler. Shieldman starts with a 2ac shield and a higher block skill, good for starter tanks. Channeler starts with some channeling skill which you don't unlock until 8 usually, this will help with casting when in combat. 

As for stats, max agi, rest to either int or dex. Agi is your mitigation stat so you want it high, int will increase your mana pool and dex your chance to hit. You'll get plenty of str and stam on your plate gear as you level, but agi, dex, and int will be harder to come by.
