Troll Shammie with Snare Neck or Barb Shammie?

[stefblac]

okay here's the thing: I have a troll shammy atm who is at a ripe old age of lvl 10. I am thinking of killing him in favour of making a barb instead. I originally decided on a troll because they could use the snare neck and get regen but I'm just thinking I much prefer barbs in terms of their looks/alignment etc. so I suppose my question is something like 'is a troll shammy significantly better at solo play than a barb?' I always tend to advise people to play what they most like as I know do many others, so should I just follow my own advice and make a barb or would I be better off sticking with my troll considering I will be soloing mostly? On paper they do seem to have a strong advantage
