Until you can prove that in every possible scenario an Ogre is superior, which clearly in your guide that's not the case, this debate will continue to go on. Unlike an iksar monk, or barbarian rogue, the shaman race debate will never end because of how diverse the racial advantages are.

You do not need to prove a race/class combination is better in every possible scenario. Everquest is too long of a game for people to make 4 Torpor Shamans, one of each race, to cover every scenario. That means the "best" race/class combination is the one that wins in the majority of scenarios. I have never claimed other races cannot be better in specific scenarios, and my guide shows you where those scenarios occur[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

EDIT: Your argument falls flat when you claim Iksar Monks are objectively the best, because there are fringe cases where Human Monks are superior. Human monks have the best fist ratio, a smaller experience penalty, and better faction, for example. But Iksars are the "best" because they are better most of the time[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
