But needless to say, the debate will never end ��
Racials only really matter when soloing, with the rare exception of a few mechanics like Tunare. No racial is a game changer when doing group/raid content. Your group members are saving you way more time/hp/mana than FSI or Regen ever could.

Iksars are the best Shaman race for raiding, which I explain in my guide. However, most people play Shamans because they can solo, group, and raid equally well. Many classes don't have that advantage. I doubt people are paying 60k+ for Torpor just to raid in most cases. That's a big investment for a focused character.

That is why Iksars end up being the worst Shaman race generally speaking. Losing access to JBB hurts your solo/group play more than the Regen/AC/Character Size helps your raid play, and most Shamans take advantage of their solo/group capabilities.

I mean Iksar is BiS b/c robe. Be a PD robe wearing Lizard and kill literally every single mob that poopybutt ogre can.

In my opinion plate looks better than robes. Vindi BP is also better statistically. Win/Win.
