There are no bad choices for a Shaman.

Every choice besides troll is a bad choice for a shaman. You get regen that equates to 3/4th's of a fungi for free, innately, and snare neck, and jbb.

Shamans consume hps to get mana and Trolls get 11hp per tick regen more than every other (non-iksar) race at 60. Trolls do literally what a shaman is meant to do and they do it better. You can try to fool yourself into thinking the other choices are remotely close but that's all you'll be doing is fooling yourself.

I consider being able to do all the same content "remotely close" by definition. Perhaps you do not.

I did ctrl+f all pages of this topic for the word 'slow' and it's not used.

Shaman's slow raw power is incredible. It turns vicious beasts into puppies, hitting wise.

Outside of some leveling tactics, there's not much comparison. For a caster, shaman is middle of the pack as a leveling class. Necro is an incredible leveling class.

Different game once it's 60 and they are way different classes at that point. For myself, 95% of the game as been at 60 just to give perspective. For some people, the complete opposite.

I consider doing all the content faster, better, more efficiently, and with less deaths "not remotely close". If all you care about is fashionquest pick whichever race you want. If you're min maxing and want to be the best shaman you can be Troll is the best. It's not really opinion, it's fact.

Anyone who says that Troll is the best Shaman race is a Troll.

Anyone who says Ogre is the best Shaman race is really just annoyed at the thought of getting stunned for a couple seconds and having to click the spell an extra time. Not what it’s actually doing in making them be a better shaman.

Ogre will always be the superior race. FSI and best aesthetics.

[Zeboim]

Ogres are the worst fashionquest race imo therefore inferior.

Trolls got that triangular a e s t h e t i c

Y’all seen that SS BP for troll shamans? It literally turns them into Batman.
