Just wanted to know if there is any special "better" race for Spriest
Simply wondering, and couldn't seem to find any post on it
Humans give a 3% Spirit buff
Trolls get a Haste CD
Pick your faction.
Human for spirit
Gnome (in Cata) for intellect
Troll for the haste racial
Undead for lore reasons
Tauren (in Cata) for hilariously oversized Shadowform
Male dwarf for more hilarity
Edit: Also Worgen for the 1% damage buff and goblin for the 1% haste buff
troll/draenei for pve (imo)
BE/human for pvp (imo)
you got the first part right but the secondOriginally Posted by Wogga
pvp = human/forsaken
They will change the racials in cata (million times said...rofl) so just pick the one you find most interesting and pray for the racials.
Presuming that Tauren don't get completely shafted with racials in Cataclysm, I'm really thinking about switching to Tauren or at least checking it out on a PTR of some sort. A massive Shadow-y thing or a healing Tauren in robes is just too funny to pass up on.
Plus, a Priest with a stun
I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.
I don't care about my cloth race as long as it looks good in clothes.
At the moment I'd do human for Every Man for Himself and the spirit buff.
But it might change, so who really knows?
but the spirit boost isn't useful for shadowpriests. ok, it's useful but really not in any way gamebreaking.Originally Posted by Vaelthala
and I really doubt the gnome int buff (expansive mind) will remain for cata but otherwise it'd be the bestavailiable.
I want to be a tiny purple gnome!
Stand next to me in your shadow tauren form
Everyone I know went Troll, the haste buff is nice. I stay Belf b/c tbh, I can't stand the way trolls run (and BEs are way prettier).
I really wonder how the gnome/int buff would perform better than others... I'm sure our mana-batteryness will be altered in Cata but at the moment I am quite happy with my mana pool/efficiency.
If you're horde, troll all the way there is nothing comparable for dps buffs.
For alliance draenei is nice for +1% to hit for your party, but if your guild has enough draenei already to cover each party than that 1% is useless and draenei has no other usefull raiding racials. The human spirit bonus will give a minor DPS increase, and there are quite a few fights where they're 'every man' ability will break you out of fears/CCs etc to give you increased DPS time.
Pick the one you like the casting animations of. If you end up hating your character because you really don't like the animations, +2% damage isn't going to help.

Worgen for sure. Think about it. 1 percent extra damage and for pvp you have a sprint.
Sprint + rocket boots + dispersion = wsg flag runner?
Alas, igniting the rocket boots drops the flagOriginally Posted by Direshadow

I'd wait until we get more information about Cata to choose.
