FSI became a lot less great after the bash mechanic was changed. Instead of absolute immunity to bash interrupt, ogres are now about 30% "resistant" to it. Bash used to always stun no matter what, and had no inherent interrupt beyond the stun itself, but now it has three potential outcomes which appear to be equally common:

1) You get stunned. If you're not an ogre, being stunned also interrupts your casting.
2) Your casting is interrupted, whether or not the bash stuns.
3) The bash did not stun or interrupt, it merely dealt some damage.

Ogres are immune only to #1. #3 is irrelevant to anyone since it doesn't do anything, and #2 interrupts anyone, including ogres. Bash doesn't always stun, and doesn't always interrupt, so FSI really just cuts the chance to be interrupted by bash from (I assume) ~66% to ~33%. It's probably still the best race unless you're determined to solo a lot with your SK, but it doesn't blow the other races out of the water like it did when bash was a 100% interrupt for non-ogres and never for ogres.
