One more plus for Troll/Shaman that I hadn't realized until I rolled one and did the snare neck quest- one of the steps along the way give you access to this:

Allows you to turn into an assling shaman for 36 minutes, along with the + faction with the goodies that comes along with it. The mask is lore, but it's repeatable even after you have the snare neck. Just have to run through Nektulos and kill a lvl 13 mob and turn in his head in Neriak to get a new mask. I always keep a mask and a backup head looted, so if I need to do a quest turn-in or something I can use it and get a new mask again.
So while barbs might get bear form and leather skirts to wear, they can't turn into asslings, can they?
