Best race for shaman and why?

it's not 300 mana when you are wisdom capped, which is very easily attainable at the endgame

chestplate of vindication is definitely better

But it isn't a robe. 8(

They still interrupt your spells with bash while in a corner (as of now). Unless this changes after level 35. You still wont get stun locked, which is nice.

If they couldn't interrupt spells, I can see Ogre being hands down best choice.

frontal stun immunity is only useful when you're bad at the game and/or retarded

Because being stunned occasionally won't stop a pro shaman? Surely you're not saying a shaman should never tank a mob while soloing.

if you're in a scenario where a bash would get you killed then you are playing incorrectly and therefore are retarded and/or bad at the game

Obviously wrong; there will always been encounters at the edge of your character's abilities where you can't win every time, and a racial ability could be the difference. And it makes perfect sense to try these encounters as long as your expectation is positive, for example winning and looting a 10K item 80% of the time, and 20% of the time capping out and recharging for 200p.

Also even in situations where you can expect to win 100% of the time, racial abilities might enable you to win faster and more conveniently.

i would rather use a smoldering cudgel's attack rounds than a JBB

The strength of JBB is prior to getting 60/ acquiring Torpor. It's especially good in the 45-49 hell.
