Choosing a Shaman Race (FashionQuest)

[Vasuki]

So I really want to play a shaman, but one thing I have noticed about all the races that can be one, is that they have TERRIBLE running animations. I actually like the look of Trolls and Ogres, but fuuuuuuck they run stupidly(same for stick up barb ass run and iksar waddle).

Want to know what you guys think the coolest looking Shaman race is. Maybe with end game armor one races animations look better or maybe the spell cast animation makes up for their derpy run animations.

Anyways just want to hear what you guys have to say because I'm getting nowhere and really want to play the class ;P

You eventually get bear form....although that run animation isn't necessarily better....

Which race do you like best when not running?

Personally I'd pick the race that best suits your playstyle (group, solo, root, tank, etc.) unless you really like one more than the others aesthetically.

Lol tbh all the races look pretty cool when they are not running.

I was leaning towards Ogre because the melee stats are nice and FS immunity.

Troll IMO has the worst running animation by far.

[Vasuki]

Now that I think about it Barbarian probably has the least goofy walk so leaning towards that.

Barb for fashion quest hands down. They look great in totemic armor.

Iksar look awesome in any armor. Iksar forever.

I think ogres have a unique fashionquest element. A shrunken ogre with epic looks legit.

I think iksar are cool looking but the way they sit is a little goofy looking.

An Ogre with Shrink and Levitate is hilarious. You can shrink yourself twice to be absolute tiny in comparison to others. One of the primary reasons I like to group in dungeons [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But a lot of Ogre armor looks pretty bad. Same with Troll. If you wear plate it isn't as bad but if you have to wear leather or chain (like with a Fungi) you get the "less is more" armor treatment. There are freaking holes in your armor. Also their naked model doesn't have boots so if you end up wearing cloth armor with coloring (like the Black Dire boots) you have colorized toes.

But Ogre is best from a gameplay standpoint IMO.

Personally think Iksar look the coolest in all situations except shrunken Ogre.

Shrink also lets you see through walls like gnome illusion.

I vote Barbarian male with the tattoo around one eye. That's the best fashionquestiest shaman in my opinion. It goes Barbarian -> Iksar -> Troll -> Ogre.

Then again my main is a "dorky" looking high elf so take my opinion with a hefty amount of salt. I happen to like how he looks, but I've been scolded for the choice. My erudite paladin is legit though. Fashion over stats!
