I call bullshit. The majority of the absolute best Shaman ever on P99, the ones who soloed stuff no one had ever soloed before, were all non-Ogres.
Now on paper, once you finally get to 60 and fix all your faction, is Ogre the best min/max race? Yes, we can agree on that.
But in the grand scheme of things FSI is a nothingburger: if you're min/maxing it's absolutely better in tough fights than regen, but it's no way at all necessary to solo big end game targets.

That's one of the beautiful things about EverQuest p99 though is the skill gaps on certain classes. Ogre undoubtedly is the better choice for shamans, but there is people out there who could run circles around a best in slot ogre shaman with a barb shaman with crappy ec gear.
Starting iksar anything is essentially like getting a free North ToV item from level 1. If a +innate regen + 25 ac item that you could right click and consume forever dropped in ToV, it would be worth insane amounts of DKP.
But there is plenty of people on this server who could absolutely massacre a regular iksar necro's efficiency with whatever race.
I've known enchanters on this server who are level 60 with less than 10k worth of gear equipped that would murder most raiding enchanters on the server.
In terms of whatever OP was saying, you've got it completely wrong. You can absolutely catch up and pass people who have been playing on this server since day 1. Hell, A LOT of those people don't even play anymore. Kelzaraz got a monk from level 1 to best in slot in 1 year, POST sleeper's. THE ONLY person on the server with better gear than Kelz is i THINK Diamondfist, and that's only because he has a lungi. All of the other monks that won a Lungi in Rampage aren't close to best in slot. So yes, Diamondfist might have 50 more hp than Kelz...... that obviously doesn't matter when you have better hp/ac than literally everyone else on the server.
And even still, having the most plat/items/gear doesn't make you the best player on the server. You could be gifted a best in slot toon today and everyone would realize you're a noob pretty quickly.
