Best Shaman Race?

Classes Shaman
1

Which race is your favorite for Shamans?

  1. Based on Looks/Transmog
  2. Racial Abilities
  3. Based on Lore
  4. Feels most shaman-y
  5. Favorite Totems/Shaman spell castings

To me, I really enjoy the looks of Draenie and Trolls. Although, I want to level a new Horde Shaman since I have an Alliance one. I’m thinking, maybeeee… Goblin?

Favorite for Alliance is definitely Draenei, they look great in their armor and good casting animation and they get a extra little heal that helps.
Favorite for the Horde has to be Highmountain Tauren also look great in their armor and they have the nice little stun rush that helps out and can be used in ghost wolf for a extra little sprint boost for mobility, they also have a nice shamanistic feel to them.

Kul Tiran females have nice casting animations. If that matters. Playing one on PTR. I like it. ^^

Theere is only one correct answer which is a Dwarf or Dark Iron Dwarf.

I love the totems in my Dark Iron Dwarf.

From a pure visual, trolls have the best looking totems and animations, imo.

The Zandalari trolls have some weird looking totems. =(

Goblin. Because I hate missing gust of wind. And I can sometimes pretend rocket jump is it.

Edit: I apparently already replied to this thread. But I stand by my point. I miss gust of wind that much.

Orcs.
Mag’Har Orcs.
Dorfs.
And because there’s so much troll-themed mail, trolls.

Zandalari Troll, hands down. If you don’t want to wait, like me, then Troll. Shaman gear feels designed for trolls from an art perspective and a scaling perspective. I absolutely love the way it looks, and I believe Trolls are the only race that have differing totems (different “tiki” crests).

I believe this also applies to goblin.

Oh, very cool! I didn’t know that. Wish they did this with other shaman races. It seems the newer ones just got a single totem with a different effect on it.

Why would anyone play as anything other than Goblin?
