Best Horde race for shamans???

at 70 many toons run with 350-400 plus resilance = resists many war stomps. have a passive skill to resist stuns is much better. if you want stuns make them engineers and then you have both

Female orcs have the sexiest dance, multiple by 5 and it never fails to get a comment lol.

Not sure if I understand you stealthy, how would resilience cause war stomp (or any stun) to resist? War Stomp does resist frequently though like all active racial abilities. I can't count how many times my blood elf paladin's arcane torrent resisted when I needed it most. Too bad engineers can't use bombs in arena =/

I have two orcs (hunter & warlock) and the passive stun resist is hardly noticeable. I'm more hard pressed to give up Blood Fury. I think at the end I'll go for looks / armor skins.

I think you meant Jaws5, not me heheh :)

But yeah I don't think resilience affects resistance to stuns, from Wowwiki:

1% [b]Resilience[/b] will:[*]Reduce chance to be [url='http://www.wowwiki.com/Crit']crit[/url] by 1% [*]Reduce damage from all crits by 2% [*]Reduce damage from DoTs by 1% [*]39.4 resilience rating per 1% resilience at level 70

Cheers,
Stealthy

My main reason for choosing Orc Female was for the look as well. After thinking through all of this though, Tauren actually might of solved the #1 issue I'm having in Arena's which is keeping LoS. I need 4 seconds ~ ish to guarantee death on any target. If I could weave something to hold the target in place long enough, mission accomplished.

Damn... now I need to go re-roll :P

Start lvling them up and then re-roll come wotlk since all the gear you have on your orcs isn't going to matter ;)

Blood Fury is great for that extra burst damage (+143 damage x 4) but with (EM + CL + NS) x 4 aren't you doing 12-14k damage to your target anyways? Especially when followed by 4 shocks.

Yes, you would be doing that much damage. However, in PvP against targets with high resilience, your crit amounts will be a fair percentage less. Every little bit of extra +Damage helps!

Yeah sorry Stealthy, meant to reply to Jaws5. =P

I tried rolling 4 tuaren male shamans and my god, I could barely see anything but thick juicy cow hide. Think I'll save myself the sanity and stick with orc.

I guess I have been lucky with my Orcs I check combat logs and I do resist stuns about 15 percent of time. A passive skill is always better than a have to cast one. I do not play arena's only BGS so in that reference ORC> cows
