I recently started on P99 red and have a level 10 troll shaman, but it seems like I am getting stunned 2-3 times a fight soloing, which is a lot more then I remember on Live even in classic. I am serious considering re-rolling as a ogre. My decision is based on the following cost benefit analysis:

Troll Pros:
Increased Regen
Snare Neck

Troll Cons:
Low FR
5% Higher XP Penalty


Ogre Pros:
Stun Resistance
More Sta

Ogre Cons:
Fatter Ass


So I have two questions.
1) Stun resistance is nice, but does it make a huge difference, especially in PvP? (Never played an ogre on VZ back in the day).

2) Are the baseline health regen rates for an ogre the same as human? I found the following info about Iksar vs Human necros, and figure it works the same for Troll vs Ogre shm:

Levels 1-19:
Regen Rate (Human): 2 sitting, 1 standing
Regen Rate (Iksar): 4 sitting, 2 standing

Levels 20-49:
Regen Rate (Human): 3 sitting, 1 standing
Regen Rate (Iksar): 6 sitting, 2 standing

Level 50:
Regen Rate (Human): 4 sitting, 1 standing
Regen Rate (Iksar): 8 sitting, 2 standing

Levels 51-55:
Regen Rate (Human): 5 sitting, 2 standing
Regen Rate (Iksar): 12 sitting, 6 standing

Levels 56-59:
Regen Rate (Human): 6 sitting, 3 standing
Regen Rate (Iksar): 16 sitting, 10 standing

Level 60:
Regen Rate (Human): 7 sitting, 4 standing
Regen Rate (Iksar): 18 sitting, 12 standing

If the above info is the same for comparing Ogre vs Troll regen rates, then my decision comes down to this: is stun immunity worth trading 50% more health and the ability to snare mobs in a pinch...

Thanks in advance for any constructive input.
