Cool Story, did you know that when you are stunned your riposte and parry stop working? So when an ogre does not get stunned tanking he will take less dmg then all other races.
Prove it.

Edit:
I'm convinced.

FSI is very very good, but let's be real basically every warrior race has tanked every raid target in this game.

If you are in a top guild and really want to remove any potential competitive advantage (real, perceived or otherwise) between you and other guild tanks, such that all things being equal YOU get to be the guy, then maybe go ogre.

Otherwise, do whatever the hell you want.

Iksar is a solid choice, imho. Around the time you're 60, Velious will be out and you'll be good to go.

Code:
[Thu Jan 14 21:54:28 2021] You are stunned!
[Thu Jan 14 21:54:28 2021] A greater skeleton bashes YOU for 2 points of damage.
[Thu Jan 14 21:54:29 2021] A greater skeleton tries to hit YOU, but YOU parry!
[Thu Jan 14 21:54:30 2021] You are unstunned.
Now I'm not convinced... but I think the stun effect is client side, so possibly my character recovered from the stun before it got reported to the console log.

edit found a dodge too

Code:
[Thu Jan 14 07:54:40 2021] A large skeleton tries to hit YOU, but YOU dodge!
[Thu Jan 14 07:54:40 2021] You can't attack while stunned!
[Thu Jan 14 07:54:42 2021] You try to slash an ogre guard, but an ogre guard parries!
[Thu Jan 14 07:54:42 2021] You are unstunned.

Did you know that when you are stunned the raid mob won’t Riposte you?! Therefore taking less random damage.

No skill required even clerics should nuke, if you have a DA engage to bleed the nasty AoE/Fear/Banish whatever, if you have 200 people and they all average 9DPS the dragon is dead in under 18 seconds.

In P99 all that matters is your raid attendance/DKP and which guild you are in. The "worst" race in a tier 1 guild with a lot of DKP (and subsequent purchases) will out tank 99% of the server and can tank any encounter in the game.

Confirmed true.

Calling it stun immunity is a lie. It only works when a stun attack comes from the frontal cone. Ogres can still be stunned from the back or the side.

It does not prevent interruption on spell cast. Ogres can still be pushed out of a spell. They can still be stunned out of a spell from the back or the side.

There may be once or twice in the life of your character where it actually makes a difference. Those once or twice moments could be huge, or they could be insignificant.

There are other racials that offer just as much versatility like AC bonus or regen or sneak or hide or faction or even forage for the time where your cleric is out of food but for some reason you have a stack of water pods.

Summary: don't pick a character just for ogre frontal stun immunity.
And bash doesn't always stun, regardless of race. Don't know what the percentages are, but bash has a chance to stun. It also has a chance to interrupt without stunning (though irrelevant for warriors) and a chance to do literally nothing other than the damage it deals. FSI was really powerful before these changes, when bash was just always a stun and had no built-in interrupt besides the stun. Now even non-ogres can take a bash without getting stunned/interrupted, and ogre casters can get interrupted by bash. Just not as often.
