Cons and Pros of Shaman Races?
Kobold – Pros: Slightly faster casting time, and small size makes you harder to target in RvR. Cons: Lower starting strength and constitution results in less hit points at level 50. In general the Kobold race is seen as a soft target and is usually targeted first along with cloth casters. Troll – Pros: High starting strength and constitution results in better hit points at level 50, avatar size makes it easy to see over ramparts and other objects blocking view. Trolls are also easily mistaken for melee types when carrying a 2-H Hammer. Cons: Lower starting dexterity results in a longer casting time. Being a large target in RvR makes it easier for an enemy to target you.
