Why go horde?

[Sam DeathWalker]

Although I prefer evil races in general I am not overly thrilled by the Female Troll Mohawk look which seems the best looking shaman Horde has to offer.

Seems the Dranie (new Alliance Race) looks a lot better. Allience is underdog 60-40 percent game wide, is there a particular reason to go horde?

Blackrock Relm has very high Horde activitiy. Thats a lot better then the enemy I would have on Nazhul. And improves my possibility for world pvp.

Honestly there is no reason for one or the other besides personal preference. Either way you have the exact same classes. I have been horde from day one and will never look back but that is because I just love the fantasy aspect of the "evil" characters. The only difference between the factions is the racial abilities that the races get. If you are looking to play a Shaman for PvP then the Horde orc racials are best. For PvE the dranei and troll racials are good. But then again that is my personal opinion....


ohhh and I would like to add that population really has nothing to do with anything these days. There is very limited world PvP. Everything is determined now by queues for the BG's and Arenas. If you are on the majority side there will be less gankers during the leveling process Just food for thought....

If I dont get the undead racial I dont really see any big edge in any of the racials. Just going for looks as I have to look at my characters for the next 5 years lol ...

I'v logged into the free trial deal, lots of graphics problems but thats with EVERYTHING on full. World does look very nice for sure though.

25% stun resist from the orc racial is huge.... trust me....

[Sam DeathWalker]

Ya that may well be but ... they is just to ugly to consider ... I mean really the overriding consideration should be where will I find the most oppenents to kill lol ... Also a relm where horde has been ruling and winning all the time is going to be less concerned with fighting me as they are probably board and want soem kind of action.

Honestly the racials are not going to be a "i win" button so play whatever you like. If you are going for looks then it is a toss up between Dranei and Trolls. Go with your favorite cause it's your characters

25% stun resist from the orc racial is huge.... trust me....

it got nerfed to 15% awhile ago. Still good though...

If I had it to do over again I would go horde.

All those tauren shammies and blood elf pallies with their insta-AOE interrupts and stuns/silences make me cry in arena.

Totally overpowered compared to the squid +1% to hit that my guys have (and no, it doesn't even stack).

You should roll 25 male tauren shamans, warstomp is very powerful (you can setup macros in WoW so it chains them, basically melee would be CC'd for a while). Troll racials are terrible. Orc racials are good, but mainly best for PVP warriors (stacking stun resist) and hunters. Once you get a male tauren geared out, they look incredibly badass, plus they are absolutely huge which is an advantage in multiboxing for both you and in PVP.

Blackrock is a good server, one of the top in PVE progression and its part of battlegroup9. Lots of alliance who do world PVP on it as well, in small groups, so they will be blown away by 25 man team.

Well the male tarun shaman does look kinda nice
