Shaman race choice without torpor.

[brecon]

Torpor is a game changer at 60, and opens up options for you, both solo and in group play, that don't exist without torpor.

In some ways, the race choice with or without torpor is the same conversation. Without torpor, yes, racial regen retains more value. But that is the exact same conversation that exists from 0-59 about which race is best.

So, a 60 shaman without torpor? Same conversation. Frontal stun immunity is probably the most valuable (ogre), followed by regen (ikky / troll), followed by barbarian. I rolled Barb myself, and while the frontal stun immunity would be great, I don't regret the choice.

JBB is a fun toy but not essential, it's main value outside of minor utility is for leveling techniques from 45-50. But a JBB is 25k, the epic about 30k. Shamans are an expensive class to gear, but you can solo named camps for gear while xping...I got great xp and cash from seafurys, OOT AC, Perma giants, LGuk Frenzy, etc. while mobs still conned blue.
