Question regarding Frontal Stun Immunity

[elwing]

Out of the racial traits, fsi is the most useful for raid and regen the most effective for all levels... But no racial traits have a big impact at 60,it's rather marginal compared to gear...

Also consider that every other race isnt stunned by bash 100% of the time either from the front.

yes, but every other race is interrupted by bash 100% of the time. that's the advantage of fsi. barbs are better anyway though because the are not slimey, scaled or obese.

It's only 100% from the rear, for all races including Ogres.

Non ogres will not be stunned around ~12% or so. Unless in the stun patch as of recent changed that but that was mostly to fix an issue with rear stuns. Maybe ill do a little video trial and count them.

If the bash lands, you're spell is interrupted over 9000% of the time. That does not happen to ogres.

Yeah, odds are you won't get stunned but you WILL get interrupted. As a bard and non-ogre, it freaking annoys me everytime some mob bashes my hand off the guitar. Not stunned, but gotta start that song again anyway

That doesn't align to my experience. I'm fairly certain that I have seen a bash land on my troll SK but successfully channelled the spell I was casting. Perhaps I misread the situation, or am misremembering, but it doesn't seem a landed bash is an auto interrupt on non-ogres.

You have a point. If your channeling ability is maxed, it's possible to continue casting if you get bashed. Bards don't get channeling, so bash = interrupt always, it's sooo annoying.

Hey at least climate change doesn't threaten trolls & ogres. #strongestracesconfirmed

Actually trolls and iksars have a net experience bonus relative to all the other shaman races due to how much of your time you will spend from 50-60 + cannabalize. Having things like a regen BP and chanter/bard grouping with you can screw with a the relative math a bit but it's still always faster than any of the other races.
