Good choice on Troll. In my opinion an SK will take you a lot longer than a Shaman.

You get used to the penalty and it starts to feel normal. If you enjoy playing the game this shouldn't be a problem. The first time I have noticed XP coming in to slowly was as soon as I got to my first hell level. (30) I was wondering why it was taking a few mobs to get 1% solo and quickly put two and two together. So apart from the hell levels I'm not sure when I would finally feel that it's just too slow. My character, it's theme and role are satisfying so it's to a point where it's like what can I really complain about? More time leveling and having fun with groups and soloing. A longer ride to 60 is welcome in my book. I want to see the world especially since I only experienced a small fraction of it when I started. Choose character by looks/theme, and playstyle/role. It must feel satisfying and enjoyable for the XP penalty to not bother you. Up to 30 I have LOVED the troll SK and you can find tons of amazing gear and weapons at all prices. 300-500 you can get a DECENT weapon with a good ratio. But even then it's your role to tank, so get you some 5ac 55hp rings and stack it up.
Go for HP, AC and STR. Dex is always cool to help with spell interrupts since you are casting while tanking a lot, but I can't say when it's a noticeable gain or how it scales. Generally you should end up with +dex as you go anyways. Int I have not focused on whatsoever and generally I can regen fast enough between kills or standing if I pace my spells. With a simple Breeze I can med perfectly standing the whole time with general spell castings per fight. I am no pro for a SK, but I can give tips from my learning and experience so far. I can come back with some gear and weapon suggestions maybe. You could PM me for someones name that would likely lend you weapons/gear/wrbags like they have done for me. I have returned a couple and still have some others. He's a cool guy, but I wasn't going to just throw his name out there out of respect.
