Night Elf Mages ...

Shadowmeld is hella broken...

[Akraen]

I am a night elf because Akraen was a druid for thousands of years under the tutelage of Staghelm. The Cataclysm awoke within Akraen the desire to pursue his affinity for the advance of arcane magic and after his counsel with Mathengryl he decided the best thing was to leave the Cenarion Circle and practice the arts of the mage. Elune frowns upon the use of fire magic so he is mastering frost and arcane.

But really if I cannot out play the racial then I do not deserve to be a raider. I beat every other mage of every ideal race that I can find.

If you are someone who thinks changing your race will fix you then you are a retard. Stop looking for easy fixes and start looking introspectively.

Personal preference on cast animation for me. Out of all the alliance races I prefer the Female Draenei cast animation (for caster dps) and then my shaman is male for their attack animations also because I am not a huge fan of what most gear looks like on Dwarf and Pandaren. If it wasn't for me playing Alliance, I would never stop playing an Undead Female Mage simply because I love their cast animation. I personally think it is the best hands down.

Playing Troll mage is an easy mode. Playing Night Elf is the hard mode.

I play a Goblin mage so I can make big explosion of fun, every where !!!!

Some people like other things than you do. That's the way this world works.

I don't like Night Elves either, but to each their own.

Just trying to see why people pick that combo. Again no offense.

I don't think anyone was offended, well Akraen might have been :P. Just some people like a particular race and take advantage of the new classes they can be, some just love the way the gear looks on them, and many other reasons come to mind. Just about everyone has their own likes and dislikes is all it comes down to.

I rolled a Nelf Mage back in Cataclysm because a) I liked Nelves and never really had one, b - the same but for mages back then, and c) my friends were making a Nelf roleplaying guild and I made her to enter it. As a race they're ok, no major DPS racials but nothing harmful, Shadowmeld can be helpful in PvP especially when you're not taking Greater Invisibility. Casting animations.... Well, I like them, but what I usually say is if you're spending enough time playing watching your animations the current fight must be boring, and if a race's animations are enough to make you hate them, don't pick it.

Mind you, that mage did become an Undead because that guild closed shop faster than 4.3 became unwelcomed after being released so maybe it's not the best example.
