Shaman race help?
 

Looking to make a shaman as my first 60, and was wondering what race should i make him?

Im looking out for him more in the long run then throughout leveling


Thanks and answers and opinions are really appreciated!

Which race to pick for Shaman?

Hopefully they'll be helpful.

If you can't handle having low strength, ogre.

If you are afraid that you won't be able to solo tough velious mobs while getting stunned from a bash every minute or two, ogre.

Otherwise, iksar.

/thread

making ogre. /thread lol

basically anything but fail iksar.

Pshaw.

#1/2- Ogre/Iksar, depending on if you prefer stun immunity or regen
#3- Troll
#7- Barb

At least barbs can use a jbb. Iksar = fail.

JBB is for lazy shamans, which automatically = fail.

Meh. Go troll if you want regen. No reason to deny yourself access to the second best clicky item in the game.

Ogre is probably the best choice, troll is sexiest and regens, barbs are ok and iksar.. why bother. Make a troll if you want the regen and then you can still use the relatively cheap amazing click.

JBB is extremely over rated 55+

And JBB isn't worth dick in Velious when mob HPs jump through the roof.

Trolls are ugly as fuck


Ogre or iksar

I choose iksar for ac bonus and regen.
