If I was gonna make a SK I’d go troll. Best all around option imo between start stats, regen, kunark clickies and slam.

trolls are the master race for war/sham/sk. The combination of regen, kunark/snare clickies, stats, and slam are just too good to pass up.

Lol @ anyone who thinks this is worth giving up for FSI or iksar AC.

Yeah but you've got a tubbybutt.

Thats why it’s minmax! Loaded up with disease clouds ready to fire (is it even modicum of aggro these days?)

Maybe I like a little junk in the trunk!

Biggest down side is being a fat ass in tight spaces with no ability to shrink without chugging a potion

You can fix said tubbybutt with Shroud of Undeath, Soul Defiler, or AoN. You wouldn't be able to slam in Skeleton form with most weapons, but you can with Epic.

Skeleton form with SK Epic is the height of fashion.

Not anymore sadly. You want to use Shadow Vortex, Shroud of Hate, and Clinging Darkness now.

It will be back and all the more powerful when you consider the capacitation of the gas!!

Unless you're trying to solo as a warrior for some weird reason, regen is nearly worthless. Ogres have better stats, FSI (which is still worth something), and - crucially - don't have -20 fire resist. The only time troll isn't dramatically worse than ogre is if you have some strange fetish about soloing with a class that has no business doing so. Regen is absolutely worthless anytime there's a healer of any kind. Even if we do pretend that you aren't at full HP 90% of the time, the miniscule amount of health gained is completely irrelevant.

It's a drop in a bucket that then gets emptied out into an industrial-sized vat that is subsequently drained into a freighter's liquid tank. Regenerating a few dozen hit points per minute is worth absolutely nothing when mobs are hitting for 100+ every two seconds and you have somewhere between 2k and 5k HP. Anyone who says otherwise is a moron. Soloing is the only exception, and soloing with a warrior is for morons.

Mind you, I do quite like regen on a shaman or SK. Those classes can actually make use of it.

Pulling as a SK there have been times where FD wasn't enough to prevent death, due to a dot or two that landed and the group's healer being too far OOR to toss out a heal. Regen would have helped counter those dots. Granted, only a handful of times but it still. And there's always fungi/zlandi heart for those oh shit moments but most players aren't going to have either of those.

That’s a pretty dumb statement.

It might even be a contender for the single most dumbass thing ever uttered on these forums.

Congrats?

I think Shaman being a better DPS than Mage may take the cake. lol
