yup

rule #1 of min-max though, if ogre is option, you choose ogre

Iksars derive their regeneration ability from the consumption of infants. Barbarians are the product of incest between Erollisi and Mithaniel Marr. Trolls have penis-nose. Ogres are a decent choice but only if your name involves poop, butts, farts, or obesity.

Truth. Stun resist means a lot when doing intense CC and stuff.

barb shamans can still solo just fine against dragons in velious with frontal stun. Doesn't really matter which race you pick because the class is amazing itself.

Problem with Ogre and Troll is they are too large in some outdoor zones that they can't use Shrink. Like Unrest. It is a real turd at times.

But that's if you want to solo. Doesn't really matter what race you are on most of the important Velious raid encounters... AoW you'll be boxing a cleric or if you're dead weight to your guild and no one trusts you, then you'll be chain casting ice nukes to add .1% dps. Vulak you'll just be curing disease. Vyemm you'll just smoke a blunt and watch yourself get flung around a room. Aaryonar is one of the few important encounters that come down to shaman skill, and that just lies in being the first one to land a slow and not getting mana drained like a noob. Ventani you get to shrink everyone and then afk behind the ledge with your MQ2 /patchheal macro.

You're forgetting the vital role of healing the clerics who are chaining mod-rods. It's the druids prerogative to re-roll clerics.

Yeah, any race of shaman is going to be fine. It's all just min/maxing after all... Stun immunuity, Snare/regen, AC/regen or kilts, take your pick.
