If you are into PvE Racials do matter. There is no doubt, for a shaman, a Troll > Tauren. The berzerk is practically a free extra Bloodlust. With the way the Blizzard has changed the game lately, emphasizing Haste in End Game content, Sunwell, Troll racial is by far the best of any race right now, for PvE that is.

Berzerk = 10-30% increase in haste. We're talking about lightning shock spams under 1 second cast time. Right now in End Game content, Raid Leaders will rotate players in and out of groups to ensure Blood Lust and Drums are up. Well Troll has their own free one, its definitely OP.

Frankly Troll has the best racial for any class right now except for Tank. The 5% health for Tauren is a must for upcoming expansion, with Tanks probably hovering around 30K Health, 5% is going to be awesome. But if you are rogue, mage, shaman or priest, roll a Troll, I'd say.

Racials won't make or break, so just roll whatever you want. But if its based on Min/Max with racials, Troll is by far and away the best for PvE.

You need to play more. There are plenty of female troll shamans...

What's the point of sub second spells when gcd is capped? Rogues that go mace are all left overs of the HARP-mace stun phenomenon, now it's fists or nothing. Maybe a dagger, but not mace, maces look like ass. The swords are getting better but fists are still the way to go.

Human racial blows troll racial out of the water for rogues. On the bad side, orc and troll is pretty close depending on what spec. you are and how much haste / hit you have.

Nothing. Mages hve enough options w/o good racials. And your racials are good for casters in pvp imo. My mage is a draenei, and i still rip in pvp. Did arena's, though didnt like them. Pillars ftl.

D'0h.

That's why i said what i said, and the message was: You can still pvp fairly succesfull with a BE/draenei, allthough your racials dont complement it a lot.

Well I was jumping back and forth between Feralas and Tanaris last night. I'll probably do some more in Tanaris tonight, run Zul'Farrak on Friday night then do Feralas afterwards. We'll see what happens.

Love, have you tried running the repair utility?

Yeah that's why the 2 best priests I know are Trolls. Vengeful Gladiators with all their teams, 2 3 and 5 all above 2050 last season and this season again. Best Disc priest I know and the best Shadow Priest I know.

Racials have nothing to do with PvP, its the player.

Wouldn't want pictures from me, most of the time it involvs me calling someone an idiot who doesn't know how to play their class. =]

Was in Zul'Farrak earlier. I swear the people were braindead, and that I was out-DPSing them WITHOUT my pet, was the only one who had any knowledge of how the aggro system works minus the tank, and the only one who knew how to deal with adds. ~_~ I think I lost some braincells and died a little inside from the shocking performance of the others.

Also found out I have almost as much DPS as a Lv62 hunter in my guild, and almost as much crit % without 5/5 in Lethal Shots. >_>

Is it natural to feel like the only intelligent person around?
