a) a fungi isn't a given during your leveling outside of twinking
b) the difference sitting is +7/+10/+11 at 51/56/59, in groups, as soon as mobs are slowed and properly controlled, the smart shaman is either canni-dancing between med ticks or machine-gun canni-ing 5-8 fast cycles and then sitting for the extra 20 mana/tick meditating and the extra hp regen.
c) the regen stacks with regrowth and fungi, so it's a moot point
d) by the time the regen argument is negligible (torpor), you're already level 60 and practically done with EQ outside of raids, tunnelquesting, and farming for the sake of farming ... and that also requires a spell that currently sells for 150k+

A) Fungi tunic is required gear on a shaman if you are not desperately poor.
B) When you get a global CDR remover such as goblin beads, and have Torpor, sitting becomes obsolete.
C) Reducing the ratio of the regeneration is not a moot point, it's a math point.
D) I am level 60. I have Torpor. I am not practically done with EQ. This is my main character and focus despite other level 60s. This is anecdotal but so far it's the only one with actual experience that I've read in this thread.

I've met very few shamans who played iksar or troll and wished they had an ogre instead. I've met many ogres and barbarians who have expressed frustration/regret at not rolling a race that has innate regen. During your time spent leveling, it's a huge boon.

The results of this very poll scientifically belie this assertion.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who says there is one beat shaman both doesn't know the best solo shaman on blue is a barb named triangle.

The only class/race combination that can solo all the same mobs I can with the same gear I have are also Ogre Shamans.
But be whatever you want to be - far be it for me to stop you. I enjoy being uniquely powerful compared to every other Shaman type on the server. This information is only included for posterity, and the value of truthful information.
