Which race is best for fighter?
IIRC, there is no advantage between races with fighter skills, but since fighter relies on the Will stat, giants will have the upperhand in endgame. But it's a very small difference between giants and humans when not taking any other factors into account.
Nope. There is a race difference.
Giants still have the upperhand, with the tiny Will gap, but also an additional 10% damage and 10% quicker fighter skill cooldown at rank 1 Combo Mastery.
In the end, giants are the best race for purely fighter (again, not taking any other factors into consideration).
Keep in mind that as a Fighter, you will also be utilizing normal Melee skills, and that Human Fighters can use Final Hit.
Ideally, Giants. the Will gap is rather small between Humans and Giants. As Kevin said, they gain additional damage and faster cooldowns. Giants can also tank with heavy armors without the damage reduction penalty.
Humans are well rounded, but are about the same as giants, just hitting below the giant norm (in terms of Will Stat). They lack movement speed compared to elves and giants. Humans, as well as elves, receive a damage penalty for using heavy armors, reducing their attack strength. Human can benefit with their exclusive skill, Final Hit. Humans will deal damage lower than giants, but higher than elves.
Elves only benefit from their natural movement speed, but receive the lowest amount of benefits from fighter skills. Due to a lack of melee basics, the effort it takes is much greater than a Giant, and falls a short amount when compared to humans. It doesn't make them bad fighters, it just the effort in is much more than effort out. Don't get me wrong, elves can hit pretty well with proper enchants.
