From what I've seen (which is really only the low-to-middle levels), I'd
suggest Magical Fury.  I've heard that there are certain monsters that are
harmed quite easily by Magical Fury but are rather resistant to everything
else.  I've also been only so impressed by Protection (although it's always
hard to tell just how much it helps).  Protection is nice, but IMO Magical
Fury is the raison d'etre of an elf.

Also, if your character is good or neutral, Hearthstone (in Barstow) would
LOVE to recruit an elf.  (Heck, at the moment we could use just about anyone
due to a spate of people needing to withdraw from the game....)  If you'd like
a guest adventuring spot to meet us sometime, send me email or send a diplo to
my character, Galen Ironfist.  Current active members are Silatef Emmef, Lord
Hunger, Oberon, Theseus, Helga (soon going on leave), and Galen Ironfist, in
case you happen to know any of them.  We've always got room for a guest these
days.

So, if you're interested, please drop me a line.

Later,
-Galen Ironfist (#607), leader of Hearthstone
