Horde
Tauren Hunter
Tauren Hunter was already possible in Classic, but the Tauren racials changed, so the old verdicts no longer apply. You start in Mulgore; your capital is Thunder Bluff.
Verdict
War Stomp stops melee attackers so you can get back to range, and Endurance adds health. Less damage than Orcs or Trolls, more survival.
Racials by spec
