Short answer: Play what you like the look of. Gear and levels trivialize any racial advantages/flaws in EQ.
Long answer: The troll exp penalty sucks but if you are a filthy casual soloer for the most part (like me) the regen and JBB access are great. Also can stack more Stamina than most races. If you anticipate having 200k’ish for an epic tear, fungi, and torpor it really doesn’t matter. I’ll likely take forever to hit 60, will take about that long to buy a fungi, even longer for torpor, and never have an epic. The snare necklace is quite nice.
If instead of a 53 troll I had a 56 (?) Barb I wouldn’t complain. It wouldn’t change what I can kill and wouldn’t slow down the grind much at all. Not shrinking would be really nice as would playing in unrest and HHK without burning pots. I’d prob be rocking a Barb Spiritalist Hammer. If I had a 53 Iksar that would be hardmode and I’d be grouping more...again no epic or JBB. Ugh...
