    Casting Animations!

    Trying to decide on the best casting animation for shaman (horde or alliance), and youtube does not seem to have as much content on the matter as I thought it would!
    What race (in your opinions) has the best casting animation and why?
    Links welcome ^^

    You can use the 3D visualizer of wowhead to see the animations.

    Just choose the casting animation from the right dropbox.

    Given that I play one my opinion might not hold much weight but I'm most partial to the Draenei male one. It has a certain degree of grace that it suprising given their massive frame.

    Male Trolls for Horde and Male Dwarves for Alliance.

    The male tauren cast animation seems horrible to me so I choose to make a female Shaman. Male tauren also have enormous shoulders and upper body parts^^ I like that you don't see that many female tauren.

    I'd say female dwarf for healer. I love that their hair flies around when they cast. Pandarens aren't bad either.

    Tauren - Female is great, Male is ok
    Orc - Female is meh, Male is ok
    Troll - Female is great, Male is ok
    Goblin - Female is ok, Male is ok
    Pandaren - Female meh, Male is ok
    Dwarf - Female is great, Male is ok
    Draenei - Female is ok, Male is meh

    I just hate how ugly goblins are in general and even though their casting animation is awesome, it's not enough to make up for their ugliness.

    As someone whose toons are mostly Trolls, I can say I got bored of Male Troll's casting animation pretty quick, especially the hadouken/offensive cast. Should've rolled female troll for my 2nd Shammy. Male Goblins would've been my backup choice.

    I think Blood Elves look alright when casting. I just hate how they bend their backs so much.

    Blood Elves can't be shaman

    Guess I'm in this threads minority, but I prefer female/male Draenei casting over Pandaren and Dwarf.
