This is true, until you do get to the very end.



The argument is that they do it more easily.

God, you're thick.

The point is that soloing a dragon isn't the measure of a racial. God you're thick.

Not really any bad choice for shaman race, best fit probably depends on your play style

If I was a 45 iksar I would be mad I couldn't use mana free clickies in Jaundiced.

I keep hearing this 32 second nonsense. You do realize mobs don't spawn pre-slowed. Truth bomb.

Being able to cast through stuns when you have have one or more unslowed mobs bashing your face in is very powerful. Again this is a solo focused racial. If you only group you will likely have a tank and thus this is less important.

It's min/max. If you are not worried about being as strong as possible then move along. People play gnome warriors which is proof enough not every player is looking to be optimally built.

You do realize ogres still get interrupts from push, which causes far more interrupts than bash? In any difficult solo situation, an unslowed mob beating on you is going to be an unnecessary risk regardless of what race you are. If you can't figure out how to effectively slow a mob (or multiples) before they're beating on you, you have no place talking about soloing as a shaman. There are several tactics/tools available to make sure you don't have an unslowed mob beating on you.

Honest question here. How often do you solo HS south?

My vote is robe resist>frontal immunity.
When are you going to be tanking AoW?

Ogre FSI isn't only for soloing dragons. It helps in every situation where you're taking melee hits.

That's why it's the best racial - because when you're getting face rolled by mobs you will be more likely to get that crucial spell off (root) where as the non-ogre counterpart is more likely to be back at bind point.

Enough of this "It's only for soloing the hardest mobs in the game" stuff.

Apparently you take a lot more hits than the rest of us. I've played epic ogres/barbs/iksar...and while i rolled ogre on red because stuns come more often there. On blue I will take regen all day long.

And you've quantified this advantage how?

Summary ogre argument so far:
1) Troll/Iksar is the best race when not taking hits.
2) Ogre is the best race when taking hits.

4) Therefore Ogre is the best race.
