Horde
Tauren Shaman
Tauren Shaman 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 interrupts casters and peels for Restoration, and Endurance keeps healers alive. A defensive pick with no damage racial.
