You can't go wrong with shaman races. Each of them has at least one distinct advantage. Barbarians = faster leveling and good faction, Troll = regen, good stats, and close to EC, Ogre = good stats and frontal stun immunity, and Iksar = regen, smaller size, kunark leveling path, and AC bonus that'll mean a lot more in velious.
Even without stun immunity, you're still going to have a powerful character. If I were to start fresh on a brand new server, I'd go iksar *shrug*. As it is, I don't regret going barbarian.
