I know race choice has a pretty small impact overall, but I'm a minmaxer and I like both Men and High Elves equally. Which of these two races benefits a Lore-master most?
It looks like both races have the same Will bonus and bonus to sword damage.
Men receive 5% more healing and a buff to their fellowship's morale with a 33% uptime.
High Elves do 5% more Light type damage and a 5% buff to their fellowship's damage for 10 seconds every 10 minutes.
At first they looked about equal to me but I read that Lore-masters have only one or two skills that deal Light type damage.
If that's the case, I find myself leaning toward Man. It seems like they provide a tiny bit more group utility and they may be a tiny bit more survivable than High Elves for tougher solo content.
Am I missing anything? Is the High Elf run speed boost so good it wins by default? :P
