Why go horde?

Afraid that's an Orc

Lol ... well humm that was the results from the google search ... I think I have to go to a city and just see things in game for myself ...

Meh, tauren look nearly the same. Just imagine them as taller and more buff looking.

You could also use wowmodelviewer to test out your future character ideas in the gear of your choice. It's what I do whenever I make a new one. http://www.wowmodelviewer.org/

You could consider that fighting against horde means you would have to deal with AE Stun (Warstomp from Tauren) and AE Silence (Arcane Torrent from Blood Elves), but with 24 DPS, I don't think it will matter.

Humm I was looking here:

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/items/armorsets/

And all the races armorsets are the same ... Once they get into their armor its just a difference is size basically.

Let me check out the link you gave it looks good.

Orcs look best imo

[Pent]

Tauren males look the best in armor because everything is so giant and stands out, while orcs have the best racials for shaman.

[Sam DeathWalker]

Ya Tarun Males are the largest for sure. And it does seem they look best in armor....

That wowmodelviewer is amazing lol ...


Well OK right now I am leaning towards

25 Tarun Male Shaman
1 Blood Elf Female Paladin (At least one needs to be good looking lol)

And NerZuhl server from the LA datacenter (closest to me) pvp with high alliance population ...

[Vyndree]

is there a particular reason to go horde?

Racials.

Alliance tends to have defensive racials and/or PvE racials.

Horde racials are more PvP friendly, and tend to be more offensive.


What I wouldn't give to trade BOTH of my racials -- 1% non-stacking hit aura and Gift of the Naaru (lol cast time?) -- for a SINGLE horde racial... Like the orc racial "trinket" or warstomp.

+hit? Shammies are flooded with +hit in their talents. Racial HoT? With a cast time that's affected by pushback and a 1min cooldown that heals for little to nothing in DPS gear?? No thanks.

Ok now the matter of which tank:

Re: Deathknight, Warrior, Druid, and Paladin tank 22/06/2008 04:13:09 PDT
aye, the Dotter speaks the truth.
Warrior> allround tanks
Druid> Roadblock Melee soak tanks
Pally> AoE tanks
DK>Magic mitigation tanks

so a warrior can do it all, a Pally is best at large groups, but can tank single targets as well. Druid's are great against heavy hitting melee targets, but bad against Magic based damage, and DK's are the opposite, able to easily tank heavy magic based encounters, and good but not great against melee

Which of those 4 is going to be strongest in resisting pvp ranged damage or magic? Don't want my main assist to get CC. Maybe the Druid can shapeshift out of poly?
I would like a bit of pve tanking ability also but I guess pvp resistence to oppenents attacks is most important. Not sure about DK but if they mitigate spells best ...
