Default Best race for shaman and why?

Is ogre frontal stun immunity superior? If so, why and in what situations?

Is troll or iksar regen superior? If so, how much better is regen in later levels and does a fungi nullify the usefulness of the additional racial regen?

Is the jbb so useful it should be considered when choosing a race for shaman?

I really just want to hear people's opinions on this topic, I am sure it's been discussed in the past but I have not read anything on this topic recently since velious has come out.

Hammered to death too many times to count, play the race you will enjoy looking at for 60 levels + end game. I've yet to find something in this game where I thought racial regen or FSI would have made the difference.

That said, if you must choose one, ogre if you want to "solo high end merbs", regen if you are more group focused.

Good luck!

The traditional view is that the Troll is best choice due to the regen and their ability to use the JBB.

This really is wrong. The JBB is probably the most over-rated item in the game, even a non Torp Shaman can probably do something more useful canni-dancing that 10 seconds. A Torp Shaman can generate a huge chunk of mana and do lot of far more useful things.

So overall, I have to go for Iksar, AC bonus and Regen beat out stun immunity. Harder to get to max Stam but not impossible and we're talking about min-maxing here.

The only problem I have with Barbarian Shaman is there isn't that many places to solo if you want to solo without screwing up your faction.

If you an Ogre, Troll or Iskar Shaman then killing guards in Misty Thicket or guards in High Keep will be OK because they don't like you already cause of your race.

I'm still looking for a decent place to solo without it being farmed to death and not to mess up my faction as a Barbarian Shaman.

Barbarian. Show everyone you are pro and don't have to play EZ mode in order to win.

Troll. Regen, bash, and sex appeal.

This is honestly what it boils down to. I personally can't stand playing 'lighty' toons. They can have the best starting stats in the game and it wouldn't matter to me.

Play what you like honestly. I have all three troll classes due to preference.

Added bonus: Inny symbol quest
