Races & Racials

Highmountain Tauren is the most popular race for Elemental Shaman at 52%, followed by Orc (20%) and Dwarf (14%).

Highmountain Tauren at 52% usage is a clear favorite, largely thanks to Bull Rush, which charges forward, knocking down enemies for a 1.5 second stun.

Orc players bring Hardiness, which passively reduces stun duration by 20%, one of the strongest PvP racials in the game.
