I made the mistake of checking out the PTR customization changes, and now I want to level a tauren. They look so awesome! The tattoos, the flowers, the shaggy bangs, I love 'em!
But on to the point, I don’t know what to choose. I just leveled a warrior, so I don’t really feel like doing that again. Monks are cool, but I just don’t think they fit the tauren aesthetic. I main a feral druid already, and they aren’t looking too great in SL. I like the feral druid gameplay style with all it’s complicity and dots, so are any other melee classes similar to how they play?
EDIT: I forgot Shaman, but they don’t seem to be too good in BfA and seem to have gotten a bit better in Shadowlands
Rogue.

Oh also ret pally or monk or feral. That stun comes in handy.
There’s also paladin and death knight. Tauren are monsters in plate gear. Survival hunter too. Any of those styles seem appealing?
To me, neither of those classes fit the tauren aesthetic. Survival Hunters fit the theme, but I just don’t like how they play. I couldn’t get into the groove of it. It just didn’t feel right.
Shamans are quite strong in BFA actually and people seem to like the changes in Shadowlands. Tauren is also extremely strong for shamans with the extra crit damage.
Oh, really? I just watched BellularGaming’s video on all the melee classes going into Shadowlands. But if that’s the case, I might role one.
Gotcha! Mm it seems shaman is the only one you didn’t outright reject. It’s a very tauren-fitting one too and they aren’t a bad class. Shadowlands is improving them even more I’ve heard.
Well I have played it extensively this expac and it is really fun. There are major changes going into shadowlands but they still look like a really fun class and now they bring more utility and a group buff so the future looks good. I would recommend trying one on the PTS where prepatch is up or just trying it in prepatch.
Enh Shaman or Surv Hunter fit the Tauren theme the best imo. Warrior would probably be ok too.
Warrior because there’s a tree trunk weapon coming in Shadowlands we will get very early at least on the PTR so you can get the Tauren heritage set and wield a tree trunk for ultimate class fantasy as a warrior. Remember Cairne was a warrior and was over 100 years old and still would have easily defeated prime garrosh if it wasn’t for the poison.
