Ogre and it’s not even close at 60.

Cisco 60 Ogre Shaman

Ahh another thread full of FSI dick riders. Being an ogre with FSI is more about convenience. The reality is it’s saved your life over another race <1% of the time. There isn’t a single thing an ogre shaman can do that a non ogre shaman can’t. However, extra regen is working 100% of the time amounting to millions of extra hp. Best shaman race is a troll. Doesn’t matter what level. I’d say iksar but jbb is too good to pass up.

Don't forget what you'll look like as a bear.

Wrong. FSI wins in a landslide. Stop spreading bad information.

At level 60 on shaman with relatively good gear or 3,000 hp self buffed. Regen is basically like receiving a complete heal every 8 minutes.

Given that IFS doesn't do anything when not tanking, while hp regen always translates into extra mana, it is a silly discussion.

If you want to kill a mob and think the stun immunity is deciding (it never is) bring a tank.

When doing a mob like yeldema, the extra regen means less casts of torpor, which means more time to do DPS, which means a faster kill.

IFS isn't going to prevent a good shaman from dying on Yeldema, because a shaman worth their dog is not getting into a situation where a stun will lead to their death.

anyone who thinks anything but troll is the best race for a shaman is either mentally ill or high

Tried to stop it but there's no stopping this one. Equivalent question: "What's better an Enzo or a McLaren?" On car boards that one has been known to create a fair number of heated discussions too, and it's just as silly.

Reality: They're all good and the difference is splitting hairs. There are no bad choices for a Shaman.

Every choice besides troll is a bad choice for a shaman. You get regen that equates to 3/4th's of a fungi for free, innately, and snare neck, and jbb.

Shamans consume hps to get mana and Trolls get 11hp per tick regen more than every other (non-iksar) race at 60. Trolls do literally what a shaman is meant to do and they do it better. You can try to fool yourself into thinking the other choices are remotely close but that's all you'll be doing is fooling yourself.
