Which race have the best mage animations in horde ? I will use a race change on my mage but still not sure
None, roll Alliance!!! We rule!!!
In all seriousness, I think the Forsaken have the best Mage animation for Horde, but hey that is me!!!
Undead have pretty nice caster animations.
Zandalari Troll have the best animations as a whole though.
I love how the female blood elves cast but there is too many of those on the horde side. Would be great to choose something else.
I started this game as a Troll Mage. Hunchedback Pyroblast cast is cool, I’d recommend Troll
Undead probably, even though their animations are much worse than what they used to be
Just try them all out with level 110 trail characters, it’s what I did.
Personally I think a lot of races on both ally and horde with the new animations suffer from flailing jelly arms when casting spells like those wacky inflatable flailing arm tube man things.
The smaller races don’t suffer from it as much (as long as you don’t play a healer) so I went with Vulps.
I am obsessed with animations and I will disagree with most of posters~ I didn’t test races that I deem to ugly to play so its not perfect knowledge:
Best animations certainly have: Orc (male), Belf (male), Undead (female) and Vulpera (female). Since Vulpera female counts then probably Goblin as well because of used skeleton.
Terrible animations have: Zandalari Troll, Tauren, Nightborne, Belf (female)
Acceptable/Medicore is Undead (male)
The best way to test animations is to make Shadow Priest and cast Mind Sear that is top testing priority and then check other abilities~ I know that this is about Mage but casters have the same casting animations anyway and Mind Sear is the ugliest ability in game in wrong hands. If someone cant pass the Mind Sear test then they will fail in properly casting any ability, item or quest objective that is using CHANNEL animation.
(One of reasons why I made male Belf is fact that Belf female have terrible casting animation of Blooddrinker and other quest related abilities. She clearly didn’t pass Mind Sear test)
I think the undead look cool as casters. Both male and female.
Ye standing on tip toes while casting aoe apparently is badass.
What? Where?
OP: you can test various races on PTR before race changing, play around and test how it feels. I really like troll animations both on DS and Zandalari, but if you’ll go with Darkspear you could use berserking to significantly increase DPS.
I think orc m and f have great animations as well.
Troll is the only option both optimally and animation wise.
Pandas.
Obviously.
