Pvp shaman: troll or ogre?

[Gustoo]

Ogre pros: the stun thing
Troll pros: regen

Troll cons: -20 fire resist
Troll non factors: innoruk symbol

So for pvp server which do you think is best and why?

And let’s do vanilla era vs post vanilla

[starkind]

Ogre = happy cuddly shaman
Troll = grumpy bitey shaman

Troll can have 70 charisma. 3 more points to lure u in for bities.

Ogre can have 67 starting charisma and makes up for it with extra personality.

Barb shamans can start with 85 charisma and get to live it up in Halas with a cigar shop :p

-20 fr vs dreaded druids feels super bad.

Ogres live closer to Lake Rathe

Trolls live closer to S Ro

[Gustoo]

My feelings is that in vanilla the neg 20 fire resist is pretty terrible, since all mortal caster enemies have strong fire spells and resist gear is just not that plentiful. Giving ogres the edge

Kunark + the neg 20 fire resist is less important, which may give trolls the edge in pvp because in pvp a few ticks of superior hp regen can make just that little difference and the stun resist is less impactful.

[Disease]

I would go barb. Ogre and troll look horrible in chain as shamans.

[Gustoo]

Besides the minor loss of racial bonuses associated with barb (they do get plus 20 or 10 cold resist which is cool)

The worst part about them is having to faction up to use the more convenient barbarian training / supplies locations in grobb or oggok.

Trying to stay based around halas is not impossible but would slow you down.

I guess if the definitely guaranteed red 2.0 server has tiered level caps to make the gameplay actually good instead of a race to level 50, a barbarian is a solid choice. If there is any race to the top aspect at all, the barb would hold you back a lot.

[starkind]

There's always pickled frog legs for raising oggok faction.

Easier on a barbarian warrior with Zek God. Think barb shm is tribunal only.

The cool thing about rathe mnts tho is everyone? Pretty much can buy gems there. So banking isn't a huge issue. Mostly just spells. Some are in Oasis.

Not sure if u can buy your dots from the troll guy in kunark.

It is nice tho to be bound in grobb. Big plus there to trolls and ogres. Also ez access to gatorsmash, 30/70 i think. Without alts. Which is absolutely sick in vanilla.

If u can live with being giant...ogre.

Barb is totally viable.

Sounds like troll isn't for u.

[Gustoo]

gatorsmash is like the best item in vanilla basically its worth being a race / class combo that can use that because its the best pvp item till kunark in the game.

But don't talk about it.

Guess you can't go too wrong since all shaman races are big boys with their own advantages.

[JayDee]

pick everything but ogre so i have the edge

[Tune]

non ogre shamans should get deleted

[Worry]

Go Barb or Ogre. No one likes trolls

[starkind]

roll a female troll shaman they are more lovable that the guy trolls graphically seriously not even some wierd experimental gender thing they just have better models and textures u can pretend to be male still anyway

[Gustoo]

The halfling female is such a better character model than the ugly bastard males it’s ridiculous but I don’t wanna mislead people with that kinda cuteness because they won’t be able to help thinking I’m some stacked shorty all the time.

Wtb real life female to play female halfling

[starkind]

Thankfully boy halflings are pretty good too :D

that girly halfling chain graphic tho is 1337 stuff would be cool if everyone could get that if thats what ur talking about

[Gustoo]

The whole body proportions are just better on the female halfling. Male halflings have it good in norrath.

another thread with the same 3 losers imagining scenarios on a dead server

they refuse to play on

lol

Make that four!

From an opponent perspective I would prefer to face troll cos there is a very real chance an ogre might bore me to death with lectures on the power of FSI.

you got a gutteral belly laugh from me

[Gustoo]

I'd prefer to face ogre because like it or not, classic PK champs tend to play trolls.

I remember playing with people in Kunark and even Velious who would say stuff like "oh cast your fire spells on this troll player they have low fire resist" when we had an easy 200+ on Lithiuum

It's a bit of a non factor stat

Play what ever race you think looks the coolest

[Swish]

How can you say no to rolling a troll with crazy eyes?

[Gustoo]

I think if you took all the trolls on the server plus all the gnomes on the server, you’d have 90 percent of the norrath criminal Pk population.

[New_Guy]

Play what you want, you can always arrange gear to make up for a resist negative.

While the ogres front stun immunity is great, the troll does make up for it in mana cycling with regen. Then again, shamans don't can't really go oom, but mana/health trading can be rough at lower levels.

Thats profiling!

Thats profiling!

Troll shamans are traditionally scumbags.

I played troll on VZTZ. But the real pick is Barb.
