Shaman iksar vs ogre

[Raev]

My view is that Shaman are more time limited than mana limited. A good shaman is ALWAYS doing something: canni/torpor cycle, epic dot/jbb, casting other spells, whatever. Any time you get bashed and stunned, you lose time. In the worst case, up to 10 seconds if you are interrupted right at the end of an epic cast. Also, you can only have one torpor active on yourself at once. If you are fighting a really tough NPC where you barely have enough HP regeneration to stay alive, the JBB is something to do.

So, I think a case can be made for Ogre, Troll, and Iksar. The only race that is clearly inferior is the Barbarian. Which happens to include many of the best players on the server, so <shrug>
