No I'm serious. This is my superior elfquest way.

You're going to be hard pressed to find a more talked about issue on the server's most popular class :P

Everyone knows fashionquest is the ultimate minmax on this server.

Iksar or Barbarian. Ogres and Trolls look ridiculous.

Ogre for best stats. Troll or iksar for faster mana (HP regen = mana regen for a shammy). My shaman is troll, switched from barb. Mana regen is the ultimate advantage for a caster in my view.

There are 2 reasons that speak for barb: Looks and good race (easier access to cities). For me that was not enough.

Why would you not play the most bad-ass race in the history of MMOs if you had a chance?

Barbarians are beautiful. All the rest are inferior.

Roll troll worshipping innoruuk and never look behind

People always talk about the benefits of the racial bonuses without really addressing the playstyles, which is, I think, a better way of looking at it.

What kind of player are you?

Are you a super active mostly sitting at your computer and playing EQ kinda person? If so, Troll might be better. Troll regen will give you less down time so you can play more while you're at your computer. Troll edges out Iksar because of the JBB. Frontal stun immunity can save your life sometimes, but if you're a super active player you can get around stun immunity problems by timing your casts. The added risk of an additional death or so will be more than made up for by the additional benefit you get from the drastically reduced downtime.

If you're a mostly afk killer and you spend most of your time doing other things and come back to kill a few mobs every half hour or so, ogre might be better. You don't need the regen as much because, lets face it, you've been full mana for 10 minutes while you were watching netflix. The health regen doesn't really factor in for you so the cost of losing the stun immunity is much more pronounced.

Because human can't be shaman?
