Which race has the most awful casting animation?
Worgens flap their arms about too much for my liking.

Night elf males look ridiculous when casting to me. Also the rest of the time.

The only ones that stand out to me are ne/nb/worgen males.
Female panda and Male Kul Tiran share the same awful animation. Second worst is male NE/NB.

Weâre saved! We have a mighty night elf archmage joining us!
I will call upon the power of fire to vanquish our foes!
point blank stare into the fireball

Gotta be Male* Night Elf/Nightborne.
They both need a complete skeleton/model remake.

I used to feel the same way, but going from Worgen Resto Druid to Night Elf Resto Druid made the latter look like a beautiful work of art.

I donât like the casting animation for Night Elf. I donât know if this is male and female, but the males hold their hands in front of their face before shooting the spell and itâs just goofy.
I LOVE Worgen, changed my Druid main of 13 years back to it for the reclamation for Gilneas, and ended up going back to Night Elf noy only because of PvP racial ability considerations, but equally because the Worgen hands bugged out - the fingers spread unnaturally when zooming out, they are too spread when idling in combat and they flap unnaturally when they run or darkflight now. Additionally, the animation for Running Wild is also too fast. I submitted a suggestion to fix those visuals.
Male dwarves have the worst direct casting animation, but their omni casting animation is on point.
I play human, worgen, dwarf, night elf, draenei, orc, undead, sinâdorei and goblin female casters and I donât find any of their animations to be awful.
Nooooo!
I always thought male night elves were kinda awkward-looking until I got a look at a half-naked one in my garrison. Had no idea all that was under their armor.
If I ever play a male character, night elf will definitely be the one for its âaestheticâ value. (And then I will also become one of those people advocating for a âno pantsâ option.)

Male Nelf. Female Belf and Velf are right up there, whatâs with that massive lunge forward every time? Looks silly. TBH female Nelf isnât much better.
Our casting isnât terrible. Just lacking. Compared to Male Goblins who have the John Goodman as Walter and Woody Harrelson as Roy bowling scenes (The Big Lebowski and Kingpin) going for them which is very fitting to the males as a whole. Feels pretty lack luster for the female goblins. Feels like ours is just a mishmash of the random hand waves from The Craft, no real effort, just a âHey this worksâ copy and paste to move on to the next lol.
Male Night Elf; looks like they are humping the air.

Night elf male
Kul Tiran male
I would say hunched Orcs, now they only have the upright casting. Same with male Trolls.
You say that like itâs a bad thing!!!
Ogre/Moonkin dance is still the best humping animation.
Ogre is piss-yourself hilarious!
