Self found shaman

[DeathsSilkyMist]

Ogre is better with Torpor, Troll is better without Torpor. Iksars are the worst since they can't use JBB.

If you can twink your Shaman, you should always go Ogre if you want to min/max. If the Shaman is your first character, or you don't have a lot of money, Troll is still a great choice, since the regen will significantly help you get to 60, so you can farm plat for other characters. No racial bonus is make or break for Shamans.

The reason why Ogres are the best with Torpor is because you can't get Frontal Stun Immunity with an item, and Troll regen doesn't do much when you have Torpor.

If you go ogre and intend to go full bis put your starting points in agility or dex.
