Troll Shaman symbols, with Green in mind

[cactus]

i have a epic troll shaman on red, my 2 cents.

the necklace sucks. even in dicey situations in the bear pits i never used it. the cast time is too long, the effect lasts too short. I stripped my shaman and went Ogre. I did autistic levels of research on forum threads, tested FSI for myself, and having leveled a second shaman to the high 50s it was worth it. You retain FSI through illusions (bear form, AON skeleton form, guise dark elf form).

I was skeptical, but trust me, it's a game changer.

I've spent the last week going pretty deep into the ogre vs. shaman decision myself, which is why I know that from 24 to 38 an ogre shaman will have 72% of the regeneration that a troll does while sitting, from 39 to 49 it'll be 81%, and then at 50 it will be 78%. Throw in a rubi bp at 50 and it goes back up to 81%. The troll shaman, at 50, ends up generating roughly 20 mana per minute more than the ogre.

I think I've finally decided that the roughly 20% more hp regen, or 20 mana per minute, doesn't outweigh the nicer starting stats and easier time splitting camps and getting roots and slows and what not off that comes with ogre.

Was this before the changes to bash and fsi? How do you feel about the importance of fsi now that it only prevents stuns, but not bash-interrupt?

Fake news, you can still channel through bashes.

I never said you couldn't. There's a difference between "can channel through bashes" and "never can get interrupted from bashes except for damage channel fail or push." The latter is what I understood to be removed by the recent fsi patch and what I was asking about.
