When your angle is “superiority > all and I’m never wrong” you better bring the receipts. You shouldn’t roll your eyes at people and ignore their critique as ignorant.
I’ve played this game for over 20 years, I’m a casual on p99 with 6 level 60’s and a bunch more I’ve just not cared to push there. Some others here have leveled and geared WAY more than me; I welcome their feedback. This isn’t some weird big brother program where you write a guide and expect people to study it before they engage with you. Guides are supposed to be a generous sharing of information. Manifestos are a declaration of the world as you see it.
You do, you. Trolling or genuine feedback your sk’s magelo would be better oriented as an ogre. More mana, more attack, capping stam. It’s ok to like a troll or enjoy regen for worse stats. Fashionquest is a personal thing. Stats and facts aren’t so again, if your currency is dealing in absolutes welcome to a fight at every corner. Once in a while admitting you might be wrong would also help. Unless you never think you have been wrong, if so that’s an issue.

You do not have to build a character around statistical superiority. I have never said otherwise.
My angle has never been “superiority > all and I’m never wrong”. Yet another thing you have misread for years. My angle is "Give people the objective facts and let them decide for themselves. There is nothing wrong with picking a suboptimal choice. There is nothing wrong with being a min/maxer. Let everybody be happy by giving them the correct information."
I have provided plenty of receipts (evidence) for my claims. Simply dismissing everything out of hand as your method for saying I am incorrect is not a valid method of providing counter-evidence.
The core problem seems to be you think that providing objective facts is some kind of eye rolling, arrogance, or forcing people to think a certain way. I am not saying I am right because I am arrogant. I am saying I am right because I have actually done the research and provided evidence. Evidence you have yet to refute. I will be happy to admit I am wrong if you can do better research and provide better evidence. I have done so many times in the past.
I also do not expect everyone to read my guide. I am simply pointing out you are lying about what I've been saying. You've shown that you didn't even read the first few paragraphs of the guide I have had in my signature for years. This shows you aren't reading what I have been posting very closely or thoroughly, so you shouldn't be making baseless claims about my other posts.
For SK's Trolls are going to be the best racial choice if you solo most of the time. Ogres are going to be better if you group most of the time, as regeneration provides a lot less utility in a group with a healer. FSI will probably provide more benefit in that scenario. That has always been my position, if you actually read what I've been saying. I have a different stance on FSI/Regen for Shamans and SK's, because they are different classes. Torpor changes the equation because it is such a large boost to Regeneration.
