I know it’s trivial to think about race for the classes these days. But I’m thinking and transmog look and I’m interested in dwarf, dark iron dwarf, and kul tiren. In everyone’s opinions what race looks great in all the various shaman armor sets.

Dwarves look great in everything so long as you don’t hide the beard

I love my panda shammy girl, so would go with that. She mostly wears the chinese firecracker backpack tho and some casual clothes, I don’t lean into the armor sets too much.

Dwarves look really good in a lot of armour sets. The fact they have extremely good racials is definitely a plus as well.

Maybe an uncommon opinion but I actually really like kul tiran shamans. I think they look cool. Like Thor in god of war. If only they had some bigger beard options.

Kul Tiran probably look the best in the most. But a human shaman, to me, is immersion breaking.
Orc. Mail is generally the weakest looking armor type as far as pure visuals go. Orcs (and Maghar) have excellent heritage sets that can be mixed and matched easily in with other gear.
It’s also one of the lore-friendliest race pairings for the class. Tauren have all of these benifits, too. Tho their heritage set isn’t nearly as good at mixing and matching…The headdress and massive totem are worth considering.
Depends on the choice of headwear you prefer for each race. 
…this advice coming from a mechagnome who barely changes. 
Draenei, Troll, Earthen
Zandalari, Vulpera and og Dwarf are the best choices imo.
So, from the ones you mentioned, I vote og Dwarf!
imo, trolls are underrated in terms of their tmog appearances. they look cool
Kul Tiran. Just to be different
Mail armor in general is just bad.
Dwarves of any type seem to look ok in it.
I have a hard time finding anything good for Draenei.
Orcs and trolls are ok, but not great.
Male Tauren look like “fat guy in a little coat” to me, but Female Tauren don’t suck.
My takes would be:
-
Any Dwarf
-
Female Tauren
-
Male Orc
-
Female Orc
-
Any Troll
Beyond that, the other races will be hit or miss. You might find a piece that looks good on one, but another piece looks terrible and you won’t get a full mog out of it.
I prefer short races for mail armor. Larger races start to feel like mogs are stretched or unnatural, esp with the mail kilt look.
Dark spear and zandalari I only like as enhance with legs, not kilt .
Orc and tauren shoulders always will bother me. The size always strikes out man mogs for me
Goblin and dwarf are always my favorite over all.
Out of the choices given, dark iron gives a greater peak in looks. Dwarf over all . Kul tiran to stand out and be different.
They’re not Shamans if it helps, they’re ride callers.
Just like how Night elf priests don’t use light, they use Elune.
Tauren Paladins are sun walkers etc.
Kul tirans are called Shamans for gameplay reasons only…
I think dwarves really play well into the Shaman aesthetics, and of course orcs were the OG Shamans back in the RTS days.
I’d personally say dwarves (any variant).

Dwarf shamans always look badass imo.

They look really awkward in robes though. The almost skin tight dress look that hugs their big belly is really bad.
