Decisons, decisions...
 

Hello fellow P99 users, I am currently in a dilemma. I want to make a shaman as my alt, but can't decide between barb, ogre, and troll. Any help is appreciated, and also if you can tell me some gear to get, but nothing that is worth thousands of plat.

Ogre, for belly slowing without being stunned. Gear is pretty generic, there's actually a gear recommendations thread somewhere around here.

I was told by a lot of people to go troll.

play what you like, that way you'll have fun (sounds complicated...).

the racial factor for a shaman isn't going to make or break you. lots like troll because it has natural regen to help with canni. lots like ogre because no frontal stun, which is awesome for casters. barbs are the only "good" faction shaman available, which is good if you want to play/bank in certain zones...

in the end, just play what you like.

The stun immunity makes a difference in what high end mobs you can or cannot solo in Kunark and Velious. Barbarians get a nice hammer for melee dps and higher wisdom in classic; trolls have their regeneration. Ogres are the best shamans.

This exact question is being discussed in the following thread, which is on the front page: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=17062

Thanks for the link, but a list of gear would be nice, just so i can estimate how much i need in the future.

Well after reading these replies, i suppose im leaning more towards ogre.

But what about the stat points? Does it matter or should i just put 10 into highlighted attributes?

Unfortunately, I lack the experience to know how to best spend your stats. My semi-educated guess is that wisdom might be a good idea for ogres based on their already high stamina, but I wouldn't be surprised to discover that I'm wrong.
