Highmountain Tauren players bring Bull Rush, which charges forward, knocking down enemies for a 1.5 second stun.

Gear Strategy

The preferred secondary stats are Versatility and Haste, with Mastery as a third option. Since the item level of PvP gear scales in PvP, the real gearing decision comes down to picking the right items for these stats.

Top players are doubling up on Arcanoweave Lining for both embellishment slots.

The most popular bloodstone is Cognitive Heliotrope (80%), and the most common secondary gem is Flawless Quick Lapis (38%).
