You are factually false.

This is factually true.

Thank you for admitting you are wrong via trolling, as per usual.

As mentioned in my previous post https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...8&postcount=30 , FSI is factually better than Troll/Iksar Regen at 60 with Torpor.

Does factually in this instance just shorthand "Fucking Actually"?
It's hard to tell sometimes.
FYI, people who use their sig to "prove" stuff fail to realise others may or may not choose to display sigs.
So, the proof is not there so factually there is no proof!
Ergo Shpergo!

I get where posts like that are coming from but... This kinda talk always assumes the shaman or ______ is 60 and has epic and has this spell and that spell. There are dozens of us casual players out there who probably will never even hit 60, let alone get Torpor, so regen will always be king.

My enchanter is getting close, 20% into 59 and it's taken me years.. will never see epic and struggling to raise the plat to afford key spells like bedlam, forlorn deeds, and dictate. Not everyone has deep pockets and 5-8 lv60's geared to the teeth.

TLDR: for my endlessly leveling iksar shaman, regen will always be king.

I agree Troll/Iksar Regen is better if you never plan on reaching level 60. I say as much in my guide, and I mentioned it earlier in this thread:

I generally advise against assuming you will never reach level 60, however. This is because on P99 you play a character for years. People often change their minds about characters over time. You may end up regretting a character creation decision you made in haste early on.

It seems like you are finally going to reach 60 as well, even though it took you a long time (early grats!):

For a while I didn't want to level my Shaman past 55, because levels 55-60 are generally much grindier on any class. You have less choices in terms of good XP camps too. I also like the playstyle of a Shaman with Fungi Tunic/Fungi Staff/JBB and no Torpor. I wasn't planning on doing much raiding either. I honestly didn't think I was even going to get a Tear for my Epic. But I ended up pushing to 60, getting Torpor, getting Epic, and getting a bunch of raid gear. My ideas on what I wanted to do with my character changed over time.

FACTUALLY

All Regen is FT if you canni. There is an argument in casting regrowth, using a fungi staff, wearing a fungi tunic, or even rolling a regen class. I just don’t know if it’s worth 30+ more pages to debate ad nauseam.

As for dotting and fearing animals and undead without snare…goodness. No, thus is not “as good as a JBB”. It would also take a mountain of factioning or level 55 (bear form) to even be viable.

Play the race/class you want to and spend less time justifying it to nerds. This is an EQ sim not a high school one.

yeah ill take regen any day

too bad my shaman is barb, but polar bear was what i wanted so here we are
