Shaman race debate

[Rodcet]

I myself rolled an Ogre, as I love Ogres, but I hate giving up regen. If I had rolled a troll/iksar, I would be thinking the same thing about stun resist though.

That being said, does regen really do that little once you have torpor? Would there ever be a scenario where a troll would have to torpor one less time compared to an ogre/barbarian in a group situation? I have a strong feeling the answer is no, but I'm curious either way.

In the end, I usually hear that the only racial that makes any difference is the stun resist. That, or the small AC bonus from Iksar (despite the fact that they lose out on other things). I used to play on Rallos Zek, so believe me... I love any extra regen I can get. But Torpor, if you can afford it eventually, really seems like it would make the extra regen pointless, with stun resist being the only racial that even helps a tiny amount in the end.


-Edit-
Also, I feel that most people who claim the stun resist doesn't do much usually do not play ogres. Those that are 100% for ogres seem to not be able to live without the stun resist. Trust me, if you've played NOTHING but ogres, you notice the stuns. It's so odd tanking something only to end up getting stunned on a non-ogre race. It's the only thing I truly loved about AAs. Some classes got stun resist as an AA, and it opened up so many other choices... Iksar Warrior... mmmm.
