I’m so torn on my Shaman, on the one hand I love the concept of a Wildhammer clan Shaman, which would be the normal Dwarf race. On the other, the flaming beards for Dark Iron are also cool.
Only you can answer that my friend. Though I guess I’ll chime in since I have plenty of both.
For shaman specifically, I’d use regular Dwarf - they are just much more versatile in how you transmog them, imo.
Of course you can go many routes with DI, but outside of their heritage armour and some fire themed armour, I think they are just a much less versatile cousin to the regular ones, where u have much more options in regards playing with colours - from skin tones to the tattoos.
Maybe make a trial character with one of each, play around with tmogging and find out which you vibe the most with?
They have different advantages.
Aesthetically regular dwarves have more barber shop options. DI only can customize hair and beard.
Dwarves can customize mustache, beard, and hair separately.
As well as earrings / facial jewelry. Tattoos and tattoo colors.
As far as damage goes dwarves racials are a bit better and don’t require pressing a facial on cooldown.
In the contrary DI utilities are better.
regular dwarves do archaeology easier (it’s dead for the third expansion now )
DI have mole machine every 30 minutes which is a handy world teleport.
They also have blacksmithing bonuses to skill +5 and crafting speed.
And they have 1% physical damage reduction.
Regular dwarves have minor frost resistance.
So it really depends on how you feel about all
Those things.
Regular dwarf all day every day no question. All 10 of my chars are dwarves!
