The only time you can try to determine the worth of FSI is against a single mob, which when slowed bashes about every 30 seconds, because that's the only time the variables can be apprehended well enough to work out if FSI does anything. Even then if you can't time casts within a 30 second window the problem is not the shaman's race. In circumstances with more than one mob, in these vague 'clutch' situations, the benefits of FSI are drowning in that variable soup and impossible to clearly determine. Basically you can tell clearly and directly that regen does something significant. The same can't be said of FSI. It's just such a no brainer. A core aspect of the class is significantly stronger in troll and Iksar than the other races. Nobody argues this for necro. It's like trying to say gnomish wall vision beats regen. | |||

FSI matters when you do not have control of a situation. Those kinds of situations include having unslowed mobs hitting you. In a fully controlled situation, where the mob is slowed and not resisting, neither FSI or Regeneration will help you. Shaman racial bonuses only matter in specific scenarios once you have Torpor.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: By far the largest advantage gained from ogre bash resistance is a confidence boost for those players who are otherwise a little unsure of themselves. For that portion of players, the feeling of having a perceived advantage far outweighs the actual potency (or lack therof) of bash resistance. Beyond that, some folks simply hate being stunned now and then. None of this should be interpreted as condescending. Far from it: Feeling confident about a character and enjoying its mechanics are critical if a player intends to succeed at taking that character to 60 and beyond. Few players stick with a character very long if they feel like they made a mistake when they created it.

Not getting stunned saves seconds, which can be critical in an uncontrolled situation. When fighting a tough mob, even at 60 with Torpor, you can die in two minutes or less if everything goes south. Seconds can be critical to stabilize a situation. FSI isn't guaranteed, but when it triggers, it will factually help you more than 2 minutes of Troll standing regeneration, which is 160 HP total. If you are completely in control of the mob from start to finish (which is the normal case if you are skilled), then neither racial matters at all. This is why Shaman race isn't a huge deal endgame. The question is simply which racial gives you the most bonus at 60. The answer is FSI, even though it isn't a game changer.

The answer is FSI(when you’re taking hits). Raid and group shamans are not being hit 99.9% of the time. This is giving Trolls an advantage, your health will not always be at full, and the longer you aren’t at full which should be happening since you shouldn’t be torporing nonstop if you don’t have to, the more mana racial regen actually saves. if you exclusively want to just go around soloing shit then yea I guess if snare isn’t needed on a mob then I’d probably want to be an ogre too in a solo situation. But literally every other scenario troll regen wins. Don’t care what your math says, ogres are NOT in any way better than trolls in group and raid situations where they aren’t tanking. The fact that troll is a superior race in the majority of scenarios makes them the best min max race. FSI is about convenience, not efficiency which is what the essence of min max is. Regen is indisputable efficiency, FSI is a security blanket. | |||
