1. I won’t reach level 60
and/or
2. I can’t afford Torpor
and/or
3. I don’t have the resources to get epic, or the plat to MQ tear


Given the above, do you think it’s worth it to re-roll Troll? Will the extra regen make a big difference? I appreciate any input!
I think if you can't get to level 60 from level 51 you're going to have an awfully hard time getting to 60 from level 1 (especially with a race with a much higher XP penalty).

Also, I think maybe you're being to pessimistic or short-sighted. Unless you have an expiration date on your P99 play ... and even then, if you only have (say) six months left to play, you'll still get more done in those six months with a 51 Shaman than a level 1 Shaman.

If you don't have an expiration date, then really all you're saying is those things will take you awhile ... and they will. But speaking as a casual-playing Barbarian Shaman myself, I got all those things and you can too, you just need patience.

And as it turned out it was actually a lot easier than I expected: once I hit 60 and started doing King groups, all it took was two good rolls on fungi tunics to get enough plat to buy Torpor. That was after a 2-3 months of doing King groups just on weekends and Friday nights (ie. filthy casual style). Similarly it took me months of Droga to afford my epic, and months of XPing to get to 60 ... but again I got all those things, and you absolutely can too (as a Barbarian, ie. the best Shaman race possible).

Once you do, I promise you won't miss Troll regen, and until you do the benefit that regen would have given you will be so, so much less than the benefit 50 levels gives you. Cloke is absolutely correct: it would be sad to shelve your Barbarian.
