In classic I would argue that ogre is the best starting race because of the FSI + best starting stats for shm.
(mind you I lean towards troll every day in the end)

Right. Which is now dependent on what this means "Haynar: Bash can now interrupt spells, even if the stun component does not land (Credit work by Torven/Mackal)." If bashes can interrupt without stun then what does FSI matter?

Certainly not every bash hits. And of the bashes that hit, not all of them interrupt at all. And of the ones that do interrupt at all, not all of those are because of the unique "bash interrupt" that instantly stops your spellcast.

So yeah. The issue is how many bashes actually come with the "bash interrupt" that will interrupt an ogre even though they're immune to stun and (which is admittedly the larger issue for non-ogres) and wedged into a corner.


"Bash interrupts" aren't extremely common. But they aren't that rare either. I can't kill 10-15 mobs without seeing them happening. And that's on a non-ogre who also is getting stunned. So some of those stuns on my troll may have still interrupted an ogre too, besides the ones I see interrupting me instantly (the "bash interrupt" as opposed to a normal melee damage/channeling/push interrupt) but not stunning me.

Any time you are casting a spell, and you get bashed, and you are NOT stunned but your spell still "your spell has been interrupted" right away, rather than your spellcast finishing but THEN giving the interrupt message.... that was what I call a "bash interrupt."

What level is your ogre that is getting stunned 50/50? Because that is hardly the case at level 60.

I tested FSI after this update. I don't have the logs with me, but I can confirm that FSI was still allowing me to cast through bashes. I believe what the above statement means is that - for ogres - a bash now has the same chance to interrupt a spell as any other melee hit.
