Thinking about race changing my priest... can't stand the dopey male draeni walk.... any suggestions? Any big changed on Legion?

Name is Euphus and that is not changing.

Gnome! Why would you be alliance and not be gnome every chance you can! ;)

But seriously, human is looking pretty good currently with the new racial that gives you 1% of every secondary stat. So if you are looking for a min/max option, human is near the top of the list. If you want puntable, go gnome!

As human, you get the following:
1. 1% more secondary stats (Haste, Critical Strike, Mastery, Versatility)
2. Free Stun Trinket
3. 20% reputation bonus (and reps will mean something in Legion!)

Race changing, not class... And human is the strongest at the moment.

Ugh, I have a gnome warrior and he's almost as bad as the male draeni for fluidity in movement.

From what I have seen so far, no other class racial are expected to change. But we are still a bit far from that being looked at, so things could still change over the next 2 months.

I just find the human to be so boring.... I want something different, you know? I have a slew of humans since I started most of my alts during WOTLK when rep was king... but now that its not make or break, I figured I'd try draeni, worgen or panda.... but I'm still torn.

I prefer the Night elf animation to worgen and pandas personally.

I agree the animations for a spell caster as a night elf is indeed pleasant in comparison to other races.

Do you think human racials are so good that I'd be silly to not go a human?

They are REALLY strong in comparison. Do you intend on just playing your priest casually, or does your priest have a future raiding career?

I'm thinking.... casually, but maybe an alternative, backup toon....

I'm really leaning towards possibly having a few people in raid dual-main to help fill voids/needs... I know dual-healing may be sub-optimal, but maybe not.

Where do I sign away my soul to dual-main?
