Shaman

So basically if you never get hit the stun immunity is useless [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Personally I love it but I'm not quite sure it's worth the 15% ogre xp penalty, even though all shaman races have a penalty.

Having played both a Troll and Ogre Shaman the stun immunity is absolutely significant. If you don't believe me, go try rooting a mob that's hitting you from the front with both races, my Ogre always gets his off. My troll was very lucky if I didn't get interrupted. E.g. my Ogre died way less.

It is absolutely worth the exp penalty. It is by far the best of any racial innate ability in the long run. Regeneration becomes almost pointless by endgame Kunark, and other classes generally benefit very little from racial abilities, with the exception of iksar necros.

All that said, Troll regen is nice but it's probably the single most overrated bonus in the game. It's like 1hp/tick, right? Wow, 10 whole HP every minute... AWESOME.

No, from what I observe, Troll regen is 9 hp sitting down, everyone else is 4hp. So that's the equivalent of having Regeneration on. Far from "trivial" for soloers. For grouping/raiding, yeah, it is. Why do you think so many enchanters go through the trouble of wasting 100 mana to big too big to fit through some things and be big, green and ugly?

This gentleman knows what he's talking about.

Illusion Troll makes it almost worthwhile for an enchanter to have a manastone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

try soloing imps in solb on an ogre or barb shammy (or even iksar)....you can't, because of one simple thing:

If you really care about this debate, read this:

That has a lot of info that doesn't need to be re-typed here.

I played an Iksar shaman on EQLive once it RoK was released, I loved it, with the extra AC (although that didn't really matter after level 20ish or so) and the extra regen(innate) was nice with a fungi tunic and regen(spell), I was nearly always full mana/health, but I wish I had made an ogre to be honest, the extra stun resist is nice!

Go barb or go home, perks are for the weak. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Play what you think looks cool.

MMOs are about looking cool. Everything else is extraneous.
