So one of, if not the, most asked questions on WoW class forums "Which race is the best!?".
Well, I'm not asking that, I already know about the racials and their practical applications. What I want to know is if you could change your Shamans race, would you and why? Is it the looks? ("Orcs to have some badass casting animations!") Or the Racials*? ("Sure, stun resist is great, but I want to stun!")
I admit it, I am asking because I am rolling a shaman for PvP. Yeah yeah, I know, they're low on the totem pole for PvP, but I already have a rogue and am looking to play a totally different class and play style (Also Shammy are so stylish! Who doesn't like having various elemental enhancements rotating around them and their weapons?)
I was all ready to roll a Tauren when a couple of my Tauren Shammy buddies both said how they wish they'd have chosen Orc instead, just because they love how they look when they cast so much more. So, I really can't decide between rolling a Orc or Tauren now; I love 'em both! Their racials are both nice, but I'm more concerned at what I'll be staring at for so long. I've already leveled both races up a bit, but I'm afraid that it won't be until I'm long 70 (or 80) that I get sick of the way my Orc/Tauren looks... So I ask you people, those of you who stare at the back of your Shaman day after day, are you happy with the race you chose? Do you wish you chose different, and why?
Now, I'm not asking any one of you to tell me which to roll, I want to know how each of you feel about your shaman, and that would help me a bit in finally choosing a race.
*Though I understand Shaman races racials, without playing with them for an extended period of time I don't know if it really becomes such a huge factor for certain players later on. So if they're that big a deal for you, let me know, but otherwise this is mostly a aesthetics discussion.
