Character Question

[Curmudgen]

I am trying to see if there is any consensus on the boards for a shaman question. I will list what he will do, and trying to find out which race best fits.

Suppose this shaman will group, but solo alot. This shaman will reach 60 eventually, but not soon. This shaman will maybe get torpor someday, but maybe not as it's rare. This shaman will have no interest in soloing dragons. This shaman expects to join a guild some day and eventually raid. This shaman will be equipped with at most EC bought items way later after he farms somewhere.

Is this shaman an ogre or a troll?

Best answer!

Whatever the shaman wants to be, the shaman is.

Sounds to me like that shaman is a troll ~

I'd say it's a primarily cosmetic decision, which race do you prefer appearance-wise? From what I understand ogres make the most melee-capable shamans, so if you enjoy fighting with weapons that seems like logical choice, trolls of course regenerate their health faster than any other race, the value of which should be obvious. In my opinion the practical advantages of one race over another aren't so significant as to be the determining factor in character creation.

It doesn't really matter what race you make him, as long as you name him "Dontsqueeze". Because then you'd be "Dontsqueeze the Shaman".

Ogre. Anyone who rolls a troll does it for the regen. You wont need it if you aint soloing.

Wait, Trolls regen faster than iksar?

Name him "Dontsqueeze". It will be worth it when people refer to you as "Dontsqueeze the Shaman".

for shaman you almost have to go ogre, unless you want to be gimp.
