Can't you see how utterly absurd your statement is? It's the literal exact opposite of the truth. Like it isn't possible to be any more wrong than you are.

Why discuss with rudimentary math when you can sling ad hominems?

I think people who say “___ is everything” or “_____ doesn’t matter at all” are by definition hyperbolically ridiculous. I bought into the “with velious all your stats will cap so it doesn’t matter” for years. It’s not true unless you are an extreme raider but is the counterpoint to the contrary statement we hear more frequently. At least the exaggeration comes from a more grounded place.
There is some measurable benefit but to what degree? Will it save a raid, a group, or even your own life when soloing? The last might be the most true for lack of other rounding teammates…that said I’ve been just as happy to have giant race slam to interupt as frustrated from a death due to getting stuck in zone geometry.
The more casual you are the more racial stats will matter so far as squeezing that performance balloon in one direction or the other. Making good gear and gameplay decisions is far more important as is your level. 400 extra extra hps is a big deal but won’t make up for bad tanking or bad healing.
Every SK with comparable gear and skill have the same aggro generation, solo ability, etc. Maybe a bit of benefit to more mana if you are using the whole tank of gas down to the vapors.
Small warriors can easily get close to 6k hps with minimal raiding. Fatties have it easier. On extreme levels all this goes away quickly. Not even the edge lords favor on tank race over another on the toughest targets in the game unless it’s like Tunare where broad shoulders actually help.
TLDR, is any race pick a “trap”? No, that’s stupid. It’s also not a boon that will make up for a bad player. Team Ogre is as annoying as Team No-Ogre because it’s usually delivered with the grace and context of a bumper sticker or baseball cap. From my own experience most the ogre ravers are fairly new or naive players…they just don’t have the context or would rather posture on a mouse click.
