You would think that Troll might be an obvious choice as they have that HP regen that would allow them to take a few more hits just to survive the race. Also, they don't have to worry about training the entire zone quite as much as an Iksar does. Does an Iksar's/Troll's regen make up for the extra HP from stamina an Ogre might get?

I still think that Pint has the best answer, Barbarians, for faction reasons. I do worry, however, that the run from Halas would make a Barbarian late to most major races.

Obvious troll is ogre

[Bristlebaner]

During a race there is the potential for inclement weather. A gust of wind to the frontal area of an Ogre would have no impact, where as an iksar or barbarian would surely falter.

Ogre.

Hmm, I haven't experienced enough inclement weather in Norrath to stun while on a toon of any race. The only real reason I can see for choosing Ogre would be the Ogre's ability to block other racers' movement. This could really help with a race through an indoor zone. The down side is the need to plan your route carefully as Ogres get stuck easily and using a shrink pot would negate your ability to be a beef-wall.

Are Trolls able to beef-wall? How about Iksars and Barbarians? These mechanics could be important to the outcome of any race.

One thing I've learned from ogre shaman is that whore guild leader in grobb is a whore

Tauran shaman is nice in pvp for the warstomp stun.

Ogre with AON.

How would the AoN help Ogres be the best race for a shaman race race? Maybe hiding your name plate could trick your opponents into thinking you weren't a contender, "Just a decaying skeleton, nothing to see here!"

cus one argument is that walking around while big is laaaaaame and arguably a disadvantage that could get them killed as many times as thier frontal stun could save thier lives, so aon removes that argument from the table.
