Shaman race debate
I know this might be hidden in the forums somewhere, and trust me I tried to find a thread dedicated to it, but failed. So here goes:
What race is the best choice for shammy? Obviously good and evil both have implications to difficulty level in travel, banking, etc. But based on stats alone, which will give me the biggest leg up. Secondary question ive got: I only have about 500p cash right now. Is it worth spending a week or so farming some plat with my 42 enc, or are shamans not gear dependent at all? If so, where are some good spots I could farm with my ench? I was thinking halfling guards would be relatively easy. Any tips there? Thanks and sorry if this is reposty Dev

For shaman, Ogre is the undisputed best class. There are many factors to consider, but it ultimately comes down to the fact that Ogres are Ogres. Unlike other races which are nowhere near as Ogre-like as Ogres, with most of them actually being not even remotely Ogre-like, Ogres have the unique ability to be Ogres. Ask yourself, do you really want to be going up against PD or AoW (when velious comes out) while simultaneously not being an Ogre?

there are more questions to ask than simply "what race"
do you want to solo? do you want to pvp? do you want to be able to travel freely and take druid ports without fear of getting attacked at certain rings? do you have cash to afford fungi? torpor? ogres have frontal stun immunity trolls and iksar have regen iksars lack bash all are KoS to most other races (iksar more so) barbs have bash, aren't KoS everywhere, but lack the perks of the other races so get your priorities straight and you'll be able to answer your own question. then pick the race that looks the coolest. | ||

People can make decent arguments for troll and ogre. Play whatever race you like and get good at it. Brief summary of talking points for each race:
Ogre: stun immunity, no regen, can use plate, dat sta/str so gud Troll: regen, can use plate, good sta/str Iksar: regen, no plate, meh sta/str Barb: no regen, can use plate, ok sta/str edit: as mentioned above, big guys get bash too

Barb is easily left behind simply on Racial abilities, but have the least amount of exp penalty. You need to take into account the racial exp penalties that affect Iksar/Troll/Ogre. Troll probably most well rounded. Slam/Regen Ogre if you want to eek out the tiniest sliver of performance upgrade for frontal stun immunity. Iksar can't use JBB , if you are inclined to want that item. If you aren't dropping a fungi+Epic on this shaman and plan to go through the ropes and level normally, try Iksar or Troll. You also need to consider that most of it becomes a wash once you get level 60 and the spell Torpor which will break your bank. | ||
