Tauren

I've played...

I leveled a Tauren, like, that was one of the main things I leveled in the Forever Beta.

Granted, it was only 30 stacks then, but it takes...

It took, like... three minutes of of uninterrupted running to get to 30 stacks of planes running double that for 60 stacks like when do you when like you're halfway there by the time you get to the that stack level and the whole time you're like please god don't let me get into combat please god nothing attack me uh because it wipes as soon as you enter combat you have to start all over again And, you know, when I was on the lift going up and down to high mountain, I was like running circles around on the lift and sometimes falling off just so I didn't lose my stacks and stuff.

And like the autumn stuff.

That fit the definition of it.

But if they suddenly came out and said, here's your Tauren pack, that would be against their stated philosophy for this stuff.

And the Kul Tiran pack is against the stated philosophy as well.

do more damage.

Yeah, no. Tauren's an undead alliance, baby.

Dirty bastards.

Anyways, they can run 60% movement speed.

Well, good.

Can

you ride the Tauren for improved speed? I wish.

I would.

Harpies nested in the north.

Hostile Tauren of the Grimtotem tribe, the one Tauren tribe that had never formally joined the Horde, the tribe that taught its children to fight each other from the time they could walk, had their own compound in the jungle, and were hostile to Horde and Alliance alike.

The warriors of Camp Mojakch fought them, and the ogres, and everything else.

On the other side of the jungle, out on an island off the western coast called Sardor Isle, stood the Night Elves' fortress, Feathermoon Stronghold, the stronghold of the sentinels of Chandris Feathermoon.

The memories of the ancients there had been disrupted, and it was that disruption that sent Thrall onward to the Caverns of Time to find out exactly who, or what, was interfering with history.

On the Horde side of the jungle, Camp Mojake had its own hard years.

Shortly before the Cataclysm, when Magatha Grimtotem seized the leadership of the Tauren in Thunder Bluff, the Grimtotem in Feralas rose up and attacked the camp.

It did not fall, and its warriors were still fighting when Bane Bloodhoof took back his father's city.

Yes.

Gnome, Goblin, Haranir, Human, the Nautilus, Orc, Pandaren, Tauren, Troll, Vulpera, and Worgen.

Okay.

The first

Let's keep going with the racials because there's some really...

Look, I'm probably, it's not locked in, I'm probably going to roll a Tauren druid on launch.

Not locked in.

Don't get upset when I fucking, you know, on launch episode I go, "That's it, boys, orc shaman." It might still happen, who knows, but at this stage I'm leaning Tauren druid.

So for me, when I read what they're doing with the Tauren with the racials, I was a, I was a little bit underwhelmed by the Tauren racials up to this point.

But this, ooh, baby.

I mean, fuck, I mean, well, I am, I actually, call me crazy, again, in the interest of, of not being a dickhead and sort of admitting when I think something me- might be a fraction overpowered, did the Tauren get a little too much love? It looks great.

One-

He was such a badass.

I am Cairne, chief of the Bloodhoof Tauren.

You greenskins fight with both savagery and valor.

The original.

Like, have we all forgotten that video games aren't real? Like, did we forget about this? Like, I'm sorry guys, but maybe let's go back to the reality here, just really, really quickly.

It's not real.

If I say something bad about an orc, that's not bad because orcs aren't real, okay? Tauren aren't real.

I know there's some- Listen, you go to Walmart, and you might have some people you think, oh, that might be a tauren.

And yet his spirit, the stories say, lived on, watching over those he favored.

The Tauren tell it their own way.

In their legend, Logosh faced the Legion in the lush lands that would one day become the Barrens, alone and hopelessly outnumbered, and killed hundreds before he succumbed to his wounds.

But not even death could break his will to save his people.
