View Full Version : New to Horde, not to Multiboxing

OK, as you can tell from my sig, I run Alliance MB groups, my druid group (currently at 50) and my shaman group (currently at 22). Now with Alliance, there's not much choice when it comes to which race to pick for shaman, since we have "le space goats" only. However, I want to start a Horde shaman group, and I don't know if it really matters from a race standpoint what to pick from. I'm going to be starting them fresh on a PvP server, so I'm tempted to stay away from tauren, simply because they're larger and easier to pick out. I also HATE the tauren starting area, which can obviously be rectified by using the RAF summon with a level 1 from anywhere. So I'm left with trolls or orcs. I don't have any particular preference, either mount is fine for me and I'm not sure if either of the racials matter much for multiboxing.
So, I'll put up a poll and let you guys pick and if any Horde MB'ers have any tips, I'd be grateful. I've still got 2 1/2 months left on RAF for these accounts, and I got my druids to 50 in a touch over 25 hours played, and I made some mistakes on leveling that group. I plan on using a 60 undead DK as the booster from an unlinked account to at least run them through the instances up to ZF.

I went with orcs. Out of the gate they have that bloodlust thing that's like popping a trinket every 5 min or whatever.

Orcs all the way, great racial and they look good too.

Orcs with a red spiked haircut and goatie look mean to me. Alao I have their racial bloodlust + spell power trinkets + elementary mastery on one macro that I call the kick-ass button.

Orcs definitely
Tauren are annoying as hell (way too big) and stupid looking in 99% of gear you get. Trolls just look retarded and always have. I never play my druid anymore because hes tauren, I just can't stand playing a Tauren.
I personally recommend female Orcs because they look more proportional and better in most gear. They also look way better on 99% of mounts in the game.

I had exactly the same question so this'll help me too. I've only ever played ud to about lvl 12 almost all my toons are alience.
Looks like Orcs it is :-)

Personally I like Taurens for Warstomp - it's handy to have an AoE stun when your TS's are on cooldown, and for the extra HP.
In BG's I don't find myself getting targetted any more as Taurens than I did as orcs or undead. Of course, being targetted becuase you're multiboxing is another story...
Cheers,

The only thing about rolling a Horde Shaman is the Totem quests. Compared to the Alliance counterpart, they are so time consuming.

The horde totem quests make me want to pull my hair out. My first team was warlock, shaman and druid, I swear I spent 90% of my time trying to catch up on class quests instead of playing.

taurens dont look that stupid in gear... maybe just the helmet. my taurens are female so that might be the difference... anyway... orcs or taurens.

Female taurens got the most awsome dance in the game!!! WTB! :( They look great aswell but i tipped towards female orc! (since they look better) :D
Blood fury is in my opinion better then the human racial in pvp terms.
Blood fury can be stacked with a dps trinket while as human you have to chain the 2 dps trinkets.
15% reduced stun time and 25% total with meta gem!
