Real Hunters Have Curves

Pike's most recent post inspired me to talk about why I chose Tauren as my race.

A long, long time about (3.5 years? Bloody hell, I feel old) the Man and I decided to start an MMORPG together to help bridge the distance apart - we chose WoW. He scouted it out, and when I joined him, he said he started a Tauren Warrior. I approved of the choice of Horde (goody-two-shoes-Alliance never appealed to me), and decided to follow his lead as a Tauren, mainly because I could be tall. Yes, the 5'3" RL-me never gets to tower over anyone, so I rolled a lady Tauren so I could be eight feet tall. That, and those curves are real, baby!

Admittedly, Tauren do not have the best racials for a hunter class. Warstomp is nice for PvP and AoE (sometimes), and the extra HP is nice for high-damage fights, but we do not have any direct-DPS racials, like the Trolls or Orcs. But that's okay - racials do not make or break DPS. Hell, if they did, you wouldn't see any Blood Elf Hunters running around... The size is nice, however, for Not-Standing-In-The-Shinies Fights, as I find it easier to keep track of my toon amongst all the other chaos.

Pike also commented on how well gear looks on Lady Tauren, and I really must agree.
This was the first bit of fan-art I did of Neg, in which she's rocking Rhok and my favorite-looking armor set ever. (Points if you can name it!) I mean, look at it! It's the sexiest mail armor I've ever seen!

We Lady Tauren are rare, but then again, the best girls always are!
