Iksar has the following problems:
* KOS to everything
* Missing alchemy vendor
* Worst starting stats
* No slam
* No stun immunity
* Can't use a bunch of equip, most importantly JBB and JBBP (for clickies that are useful all the way through Velious)
Definitely the weakest racial choice for a shaman, but Iksar do look cool.

But this is an argument/debate that has been going on since Y2K. So I don't really expect it to be solved or change here. I just listed WIS/Mana gear because it is generally cheaper and more effective for grouping at lower levels (since you won't canni or tank).

I think the debate was over about 13 years ago when most people realized that focusing on HP gear made you a lot stronger and more flexible.

So not true. You dont need a fungi and melee items to play a shaman.

No one
needs a fungi. But it's BIS for a shaman until Vindi BP in Velious. Shaman has the most expensive spell in the game, Torpor. Besides that, even your junk spells that you'll never cast cost 5k+. All the HP gear that you'll most likely want to use generally costs much more than wisdom gear, and then you have stuff like JBB at around 40k. Shaman is pretty expensive for a caster, again mainly because of Torpor which is essentially required at 60 and costs 100k+ I think about now, if you can even find it for sale.
