ogre, troll, or iksar?

[Zubek]

I have a friend thats never played EQ before but he has always wanted to. We've been talking about all of the classes and he seems most interested in a shadowknight. I am going to play a shaman with him, it seems like a very good combo from what i've read and it will allow us to start as the same race which will help since he will need some instructions to start playing and I can help.

The only question then becomes what race would be good. I know regen is helpful for the shaman but Ogre just seems better for the shadowknight. I guess my biggest question would be is the regen from troll/iksar worth more then frontal stun immunity and better starting stats?

I'm just going to get him a full set of banded and a cheap 2 hander, and banded for my shaman with an inexpensive weapon. Want to make sure he sticks with it.
