Tribal [Shaman]

"While we walk a different path from from other Shaman; we still answer the Element's call"

Dealing with the bones of the fallen, with sacred drums and rattles, and wielding carefully crafted totems; these spiritual leaders of the tribal groups of Azeroth take their job seriously.  Protecting not only the lands of their people but the connection with the elements as well; these witch doctors and tribal shamans hear the call of Azeroth to protect not only the sacred land, but their people as well.  Woe to those who defile the ground, who slaughter the innocent, who tread on taboo lands—the wrath of the Shaman is here.

A first look at transmogrification for the Highmountain Tauren.  I have to admit that I have been focused on leveling as a Shaman and, as such, have a lot of ideas for this class.  The helm has always been my favorite but it usually works best with the rest of the set--so I wanted to find something that the helm could go with.  The majority of these items comes from Wrath of the Lich King (my favorite expansion) so you may have some of these items already in your Appearances Tab.  The end result is a good look for somebody that wants a little less civilization in their transmogrification.

Highmountain Tauren May Be Closer Than We Think!

"The Highmountain Tauren are an offshoot of Tauren found in the region of Highmountain on the Broken Isles. Divided into four tribes (Highmountain, Rivermane, Skyhorn and Bloodtotem), they are the direct descendants of the Tauren led by Huln Highmountain who assisted the Kaldorei Resistance during the War of the Ancients.  During the war, Huln received a blessing from Cenarius, so that his people would forever have the demigod's favor, granting them the Horns of Eche'ro: moose-like antlers." --Wowpedia

If you are like me, you are very excited that the Highmountain Tauren are to be a playable Horde race!  The addition of a different type of Tauren culture is a big thing for many of us.  Not only does it signal the growth of a game we love but also gives us a bit wider world in which to immerse ourselves in—different cultures or, sub-races as they were called back in the day, add a new and exciting dimension in the world of Azeroth.

While there has been a lot of speculation as to when we will be able to have our very own moose-antlered Tauren, we do know a couple of things listed below.  While you may already know about these its still a fun thing to go over to get your excitement level up.
