Stun immunity is huge for shamans. I've played both in velious, borrowed characters, and I succeed more often with the ogre than the troll. Getting interrupted on those torpors sucks.
That's another experiment I did, granted I did not have torpor on two toons to compare or even two 60s, but only lower lvl shamans to compare.

On my barbarian shaman the amount of interrupts when trying to land spells compared to my ogre shaman which is 55 now is unbelievable.

I mean it's not just slightly noticeable, it's every encounter the barb has if a spell gets resisted, chances of him getting interrupted on the next attempt to land a spell is quite high where as the ogre rarely gets interrupted.

I suspected this could be the case for shamans, it didn't really surprise me. I was just hoping once barbarian spiritist's hammer began proccing, it might make up for the interrupts, but it did not. The hammer didn't proc enough for me to deal with the constant interrupts and stuns the barb shaman would take.

What has surprised me the most is on the warriors though.

My halfling warrior is 40+ and I found him fun, but when I hopped back on my old ogre warrior, used some shrink pots and played him it's just stupid how much more effective he is in every aspect of grouping as a warrior.

The ogre warrior holds aggro easier, he hits harder, he hits more often, he feels tankier. I really feel like there are some hidden statistical values on this race.

I just wish I could make a ogre necro ffs, and a ogre rogue. That would be pretty cool. Imagine the BS's an ogre rogue would land. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
