-cause innate regen in classic EQ (p99) is OP

I don't think that on any class i have played i would choose FSI over regen.

Regen > FSI
Innate Regeneration is OP on most classes. No disagreement. I would only pick FSI on Shamans to be honest. I prefer Troll Shadowknights and Troll Warriors. I have a 60 Troll Shadowknight myself! I played a Troll Warrior on live. I also think Male Trolls are the best model in the game, due to their great armor graphics and superior animations. For some reason the Troll animator did a better job than the animators on the other races. It isn't like I have some strange Ogre bias. Shamwowi is the only Ogre I have ever made. If anything I have a Troll bias.

I also agree with this statement:

I agree.
You agree.
We all agree!
They don't need a fungi tunic - drop it for vindi bp
They don't have to obsess about keeping regrowth up - it is LESS (but not entirely) relevent.
It's why a barbarian shaman at 60 functions so well. If regen was that important, a barbarian shaman would not be successful - but they are.
The logic used to compare Vindi BP and Fungi Tunic is the same logic used to compare FSI and Innate Regeneration. Vindi BP's ability to randomly reduce damage spikes is superior to Fungi Tunic's consistent Regeneration on a Torpor Shaman. This is why FSI is the best racial for Shamans in terms of Min/Maxing. FSI's ability to randomly reduce damage spikes is superior to Innate Regeneration's consistent Regeneration on a Torpor Shaman.
