So ive kinda grown out of alliance and only play horde now, except my pally which i wanna use for pvp is alliance >.<

Hes currently a male draenei and with draeneis being the big muscley race of alliance i figured i may aswell go for the big muscley of the horde xD

Im not so sure though, i need some more oppinions on which one they pick! And female races are out of the question, female races shouldn't be mellee classes :P

Now, that's just sexist!

I quite like the look of a Belf paladin. Which racial do you prefer?

Weigh up the races, choosing blood elf you get an extra silence, Arcane torrent, and a little extra resist, though i doubt this usually comes in handy

Choosing Tauren you get a slight increase in heath though this really isnt a deciding factor in most games if you have a good healer and a stun, its a short cast but still a cast giving enemies time to move away from it.

IMO blood elf is the way to go, especially for arena where you can interrupt three time in a row

Fair enough.

Anyway, IMO it's all about the animations for me. Make one of each race and check them out, or just use some form of model viewer. Admittedly I think the b-elf has better racials.

Tauren for retri.

Blood elf for holy.

(basically, warstomp and extra hp is always useful for retri, because your teammates will usually already have silence effects aplenty, and having warstomp helps negate things like inner focus or aura mastery, while the arcane torrent mana regen thingie is better for holy palas)

Female taurens are frickin awesome as melee. Animations, size, sounds. Everything is great. :]

Roll Female cow if u wanna be qt, and roll Belf (Any belf) if u wanna do pvp, one extra silence will save ur life and land the kill for u SO many times that u will lose count.

And belf silence DRs with your teammates silences. However, unlike warstomp, it doesn't screw up inner focus/aura mastery and doesn't interrupt flag capping in RBGs, which I found is a gamewinning move many many times.

As I said, warstomp is so underrated.

Arcane Torrent > warstomp imo.

Warstomp just gets annoying because of it's cast time.

Racial wise

PvE Prot / Ret = Tauren (As PvE ret both racials are extremely miniscule)
PvE Holy = Blood Elf, clear winner

PvP Arenas = Blood Elf
PvP RBGs = Taurens catch up here some, probably Blood Elf still

Looks are a personal taste so I won't comment on those.

If you going to PVP alot. Belf for sure.

Free mana with a silence each 2 mins and some magic resistance (arcane only i tought).

As Tauren you get a casted AoE stun and some more 5% health. Only the 5% is handy.

weapons look better on taurens, armor looks better on belfs, that's what it comes down to for me.

Tauren wins.
