Best Shaman Race?

As your getting stunned waiting for slow to land, are you not losing more hp than you would as Ogre? making regen pointless.

No because you're counting seconds between bashes like a pro.

This begs to question why you haven't rooted, or had your pet tank. Also all those cases where you're in a duo or group where someone else is tanking. Or on any raid where you're not tanking. Even when you are tanking bash is rather infrequent and it doesn't hit every time. Push interrupts more than bash in my experience playing, even when corner tanking. Which Ogres get interrupted by.

The situations where an ogre is facing a bash are far less frequent than those where a Shaman would not be at full HP and would be actively be regenning.

All great points. Good to know shaman are still quite powerful. I was mainly worried I was going to miss out on something huge like key gear by going with an Iksar. Is JBB worth re-rolling as a troll for or do you guys think I'm good?

For context, I'm mostly grouping with buddies who are playing Iksar Necro, Wood Elf Ranger, Half Elf Bard, and Barbarian rogue so we have good and evil factions regardless.

If you're tanking an unslowed mob, you're doing it wrong.

JBB is lazymode option.

Once you get 60/Torpor, you can DPS better by spending time doing DoTs and canning back the mana I'm pretty sure.

IMO it's not worth rerolling over. Iksars look way cooler too.

So I'm guessing your vote is troll? #dadjokes

One clicky worth mentioning is the JB breastplate, which gives AC and DS. I hear the AC bonus for Iksar is only 40 - 45 and that gives 18 and 3 Damage Shield.

That's correct.
