If you want to power-game things for when you someday hit 60, the hierarchy of shaman races is basically:
- Ogre (stun immunity is handy for soloing at high levels)
- Troll (regen is great, and they can use the JBB)
- Iksar (regen is great, but no JBB)
- Barbarian (no immunity, no regen)

This list is correct, except I'd put Iksars below Barbarians as the worse Shaman race. People don't really seem to consider starting stats for some reason, and Iksar starting stats are really bad compared to the other 3 races. That might not be enough to bury them, but being restricted from certain gear (especially JBB) does. They get some better resist gear choices in Kunark (Scaled Mystic, Stone of Morid, etc), but it's not enough to make up for it.

Do Barbarians still have that annoying graphical glitch where their shoes are black? Yeah go Troll.

There's a fix for this, also fixes the black splotches on dark elf armor, dragon wings, evil eyes, etc.

Stun immunity doesn't mean you can solo anything that someone with stun immunity can't. You are wrong if you think so. If a stun prevents you from end game soloing you suck and shouldn't be trying to end game solo.

Nothing really "prevents" you from end game soloing, it's just not having certain things makes your life more difficult, and in a really close fight you could lose without access to stun immunity / JBB / whatever.

If regen was king, high end shamans would never take off Fungis. But they do. Regen loses a lot of its appeal once you get torpor.

Shamans take off their fungis? I never do unless A) I need to equip a resist chest for an AE fight, or B) I'm standing in EC and want to equip my Jaundiced Bone BP for vanity. It's really noticeable when I'm not wearing my fungi, even with access to Torpor. You don't really
want to be casting Torpor, you just have to occasionally. I'd go as far as to say that the only upgrade to fungi bp in the game for a Shaman is Vindi BP.
