I love dwarves i just need some kind of shakeup.
There are very limited good-looking mail transmogs…so it really doesn’t matter, because 90% of the time you will look like doodoo as a shaman.
Female Draenei wear shoulders weird, and dwarves are short and stocky, making armor look like lego blocks sometimes. Male draenei are massive and you run into the orc problem where shoulders are bigger than your head and chest combined.

My dwarf is shirtless, so he usually looks incredible as a Shaman.
I guess I’ll stay WH for now.
Speak for yourself, hon.
Any race can look good in transmog. You just have to tailor the mog to the character. Got a race where shoulders get blown to a ridiculous proportion? Find shoulders with a smaller base model. Short race? Find a less-detailed piece that doesn’t have so much business to get squashed.
If you are trying to argue that mail isn’t the worst looking gear in the game, I don’t know where you’ve been the last 18 years.
Hiding mail armor is in fact a better choice than most mail armor. Ironic.
I will say Leather has been taking it in the teeth lately. The DF pre-patch gear and the Necrolord leather set were both really bad.

Fashion school, apparently, because my mail characters look great.
So because 2 pieces of the dark shaman specific only transmog set from SoO look good, that means all mail armor is great.
Okay guy.
Chestpiece = Hidden
and the blue doesn’t even match the dark shaman gear.
What, is your opinion of what constitutes “good looking” gear defined entirely by it being one color, and preferably black?
I dunno what to tell you, pal. If your taste in gear is so narrow that you can’t find a single look you like with something like 500+ different appearances per armor slot, that’s your problem. I never said anything about mail being universally gorgeous, and every armor type has its fair share of garbage looks. If you hate mail in particular, that’s your opinion, not anything remotely resembling an objective fact.
And for the record, my chest is hidden because I’m a thot. Not because I don’t have half a dozen that work with this set.
If mail had a good chestpiece, you would have one on. The two people who have responded to me both are hiding their chestpieces…because mail gear is overall largely bad.
Can you cobble things together that look good? Sure.
Is your current transmog viable on other mail users outside shaman? No. Therefore, when 2 of the 3 mail classes can’t use your “this looks good, despite hiding a major piece of armor” transmog — that is a feels bad moment for mail users.
A simple google search comparing the various slutmogs will once again show while mail (and leather) are garbage tier armor types.
This isn’t just my opinion either — mail has consistently been dragged on as the worst armor type (Hunters especially) for years from multiple people on multiple different websites.

Oh no, two whole pieces of my mog are class-specific, therefore the entire armor class is defunct.
Please.
Subjective opinions are still subjective, no matter how many reddit echo chambers you link.
Feel free to do a google search of “What is the worst looking armor type in WoW”
The results speak for themselves.

I don’t know how much more clearly I can say this.
I don’t care what the internet thinks about the abstract concept of an entire armor class. There’s plenty of good-looking mail out there, as much as there is bad-looking gear of any other class. The original question was what race looks good in shaman transmogs, and my answer remains that you can make a good shaman mog for any race.
You ragging on my mog from a Classic character doesn’t change that.
Which was ironically also my answer — yet you took offense at me also saying 90% of mail armor looks bad.
So do yourself a favor, and save face by no longer responding.
Edit: The question is also about alliance races, so you being able to have a decent looking mog as an orc has no real bearing on what OP is looking for.
I feel like there’s a pretty distinct difference in spirit if not in letter between, “Don’t worry about race, you can make any of them look good,” versus, “Don’t worry about race, you’re guaranteed to look like garbage.”
But let me guess, my opinion is still irrelevant on an Alliance character because the OP’s is male?
You know what
You know what happens when you assume.
But we can get into specifics if that’s really what you want.
I already described the issues to overcome with the alliance races, the exclusion being Kul Tiran because Kul Tiran male doesn’t actually look bad in mail gear in a way where the armor is skewed like on other races. They are just fat…if you can get around that, they are a great go to, because the heritage armor offers variety that you cannot find in any other mail armor (trenchcoat and tricorne).
Female Kul Tiran — well, if that’s your thing…great…but we could have had somethign much better. I’ll link the original mmo-champ thread https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/2398022-Kul-Tiran-Female-Edit
Dark Iron heritage armor works great with Fury of the Stonemother and a few other legendary transmogs. Regular dwarf heritage armor can blend in with a lot of pieces because of its neutral tone.
Female and Male Draenei have no racial armor yet, and are thus restricted to regular mail gear and shaman sets. Both have shoulder issues that you need to work around.
It’s a matter of personal preference. As alliance, you can be fat but your armor isn’t skewed. You can join the slutmog army, but have weird shoulder placement. You can join the giant shoulderpad beefy bois, or you can be a pint-sized block person.
None of this changes that you will feel more restricted than other armor types, simply because mail armor has a lot worse looking pieces than the other armor types.
I really like the BFA armor set. Looks great with a few extra pieces. In sunlight and bright light the metallic colors shine. YMMV
Sorry, wrong character. Here.
