Shaman race debate

[phro]

I'd bet the number of shaman who soloed a WW dragon vs the number of shaman created on live would be even lower than that.

Slowscales soloed Lodi as an iksar with no betabuff, just his own gear

I chose ogre for looks and stats. Iksar are cool but their stats are weak.

im playing a ogre shaman now, on red. I cant tell if it makes a difference becuse XP is flying at me to fucking fast to know what the hell is going on.

The real issue is by rolling any race but ogre...you unfortunately are not an ogre.

We've had like 30 threads on this already, but yet the ogre-is-best meme persists. FSI is a fairly crappy racial bonus for a class that has the best slows in the game. A slowed mob bashes once every 32 seconds. Many times the mob will kick rather than bash, and many of the bashes miss. The result? FSI stops a frontal stun once every few minutes. Whoopdy-fucking-doo.

I'm a barb. If I could re-roll, I'd go troll. Ogre isn't even on the map. I seriously question whether the people who advocate ogre have actually played a shaman at the high end. How many of you solo HS south or anything else remotely difficult?

Ogre.

Remember kids the best reason to be ogre is to be stun immune so you can kill the same dragons that trolls, barbs, and iksar do. It's a must have racial. /s

Remember kids, the best reason to be troll is to be able to buff people on raids very slightly faster.
