Regen is so incredibly huge when you factor in time and the fact that it is always in effect. Canni effectively makes it permanent breeze that stacks with clarity and all your other available mana regen.
Over the course of any moderately leveled character the one with regen will have healed millions and millions of HP for free that you didn't have. With Canni how many more spells will have been able to cast over the same play time? You don't think one of those hundreds of thousands of HPs or one of those single spells will save me or my friends as much as not getting stunned in one situation where shit is already hitting the fan?

Lol I love this debate, and Phro understands why Troll = #1 shaman race, even in Best of the Best tournaments.
Put simply regen > all traits in the game. In fact, regen is so good, Verant made trolls and iksars suffer from the largest exp penalty in the game because of it. They knew enough about basic math to understand exactly what Phro just said here - a troll/iksar shaman regens thousands and thousands of more hps over ogres/barbs giving them more casts via canni/manastone, in their lifetime, allowing them to level faster, powerlevel players easier, group with people easier, etc. Regen is KING yo.
Also, if you think that ogre shaman can solo mobs that trolls/barbs/iks can't then you are dead wrong. That frontal stun immunity racial ogres have is just "nice" to have, that is all. Regen is also "nice" to have. Which one do you want? One that is ALWAYS in effect or one that is very rarely in effect?

S - to those who don't know why I pick trolls as #1, it's the simple fact they can wear and use the JBB (the snare neck is an added bonus). If Iksars could wear the JBB they would get my number #1 pick. The JBB is just too good to pass up, unfortunately, for iksars.
