Ogre is the obvious choice. Imagine how much life saving FDs you would get off that would otherwise be interrupted.

How often are you going to be getting off life saving FDs? In almost 60 levels on my troll sk there was exactly one occurrence where i partially wished I was an ogre. I was getting PLd in my 40s and intentionally had 20+ mobs on me but the PLer didn't tell me they were OOM and I and couldn't get a FD off and died. When I was grinding through HS and in 99.9% of other scenarios, I was hella glad I had that extra regen because SK downtime is a real thing, you're not a monk who can mend and bandage to 70%.

If you do go ogre over troll/iksar for min max solo potential, know that you're giving up a shit ton of extra hp regen over the course of 60 levels for potentially a few, very very specific scenarios.

Troll is a better puller/tagger
Ogre is a better off trash-tank

At the very end of velious SK is very very strong in it's ability to pull, tag and then contribute towards the raid.

in my honest opinion troll is the min/max given the nature of the class.
It's very similar in lines of shaman race choice. Which I think troll is the best shaman race too.

Troll get's Good stats + racial Regen(uninterrupted)

It's the same reason people play iksar monk instead of human monk.

the iksar 2h animation is jacking off a horse.

This is an actual quote from these p99 forums, I'll spare the original poster from.

Hahahaha!! Even with the Jak off animation 2h swing, it's all about iksar sk.

I haven't really messed with my pally soloing mobs 51+ mobs that can summon. I recall the max npc level fear works is 55. That alone would give the hat tip to the SK if you had the runway to make it work.

Between the 59 super quick self HoT and LoH the pally can definitely last longer toe-to-toe. Any situation you can root and back up even a few feet the DW helm or better yet BP are crazy healing solutions (about 185hps per tick for a jasper).

Frankly I'm not too aware with summon dynamics. If you can get just out of melee range and pop off a few BP clicks between summons in theory the pally can last a very long time.

There is an animation fix file download for the Iksar 2 hand slash animation isn't there? Would solve that problem.

Focus on mana regen and mana saving items (mage focus item, polished obsidian great axe, blood ember gaunts/greaves). Having a constant inflow of mana goes a long way towards soloing mobs.
