Troll Shammy or Ogre Shammy?
 

And why?

EDIT - Oh, and I will almost exclusively be duoing this character with an Ogre SK.

though it's been beaten to death..

ogre, channeling through melee stun from the front is a ridiculously OP thing for a caster.

I went Ogre. Troll regen steadily looses its value as you level vs always having frontal stun immunity for the Ogre.

ogre as you will rape in velious

Trolls get awesome clicky deity tools, look better, are smaller, and have that amazing regeneration which actually gets more effective the higher you go. Better Cannibalize + higher regeneration as you level leads to something utterly astonishing like the equivalent of at least FT5.

Trolls get 18 sitting regen / tic, 12 standing regen / tic at 60. Ogres get 7 sitting, 4 standing. 11hp/tic diff = flowing thought 6 for a shaman.

If you're asking which race to pick you're probably not gonna be good enough to solo velious dragons anyway so go troll.

Once you are level 60 and have torpor you will seriously regret not picking Ogre for the frontal stun immune, trust me.

If you're kinda casual and sure about always duoing with an ogre SK, go ahead and roll a troll. It'll help a lot while leveling and you should never have to tank anything.

If you think you'll become a high-end player some day and/or don't know for sure if your SK buddy will always be around, go ogre. Best race for the self-sufficient shaman.

These threads ALWAYS end the same, ROLL AN ELF RANGER YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
