Trolls be flippin' out mon.
Bloodelves are too pretty to go into battle. They'd break their nails.

All I can say, KID ALERT!
Now serious...Just play what you think is coolest, each class has its benefits. (haste, wotf, bit extra mana) But it's nothing huge. Gameplay isnt any different as the game doesnt differ if you play a other race...Except for horde/alliance ofcourse :)

I think the most awesome looking Mages are female Draenei.
But since you want to go with the Horde and don't like Undead (which would be my 2nd choice) the decision isn't really hard:
If you like a pretty character go with a female Blood Elf. Easy on the eye but the racial isn't actually that great.
If you like a more "fighty" character (which I assume you do, talking about battlemages) go with Trolls. The racial is actually even a bit better (haste ftw!) and they look more threatening.

Undead males look BA while casting, even if Will of the Forsaken isn't as great anymore.
The troll racials are hot for both pve and pvp. Mages survive by killing the other guy before he kills you, and the Berserking talent helps with that. Also: we survive by kiting and staying out of melee range. Shorter snares are pure win.
Blood elves get a melee-range aoe silence, and a li'l bit more mana, but look like *!@#$%bags.
Trolls also get sweet mohawks.
I'm sad that my undead racial got nerfed, but at least i LOOK imba while castin' mah frostbolts!
How can u even say wotf is not great anymore ? tell me a more game breaking racial than wotf. I can't even explain how much wotf changes games in arena..

leave threads on the end of the third page alone.
What do you mean more game breaking racial? for horde, maybe, but humans get an extra slot for a trinket instead of wasting it on a pvp trinket.
Horde, i still think arcane torrent can be quite nice, interupt that druid casting innervate.... that alone can be very helpfull.
As to your choice, which do you want? Trolls look more imposing and blood elves look pretty.
SO you actually think having a slight more damage from and exstra trinket is more game breaking than having the ability to get out of so many CC's for a mage ? I mean nearly every mage plays with a rogue and for that combo you can't fail on your CC chain, so having the ability to get out of a 8 sec fear from a warrior for example is like the different between losing or winning.

Stoneform can be gamebreaking against Rogues. Shadowmeld is easily gamebreaking and in skilled hands can even immune blinds etc.
Dwarf and Night Elf mages ftw?

Escape artist can be just as game breaking to a snare / kite class. Stoneform can be gamebreaking against Rogues. Shadowmeld is easily gamebreaking and in skilled hands can even immune blinds etc.
So less crying about wotf.... the only ones who seem to complain (warlocks) can immediately recast it, not to mention its the most insane cc in the game.
This is a mage forum which means probably every mage will have mage armor up against a warlock. that means the first fear that u wotf will be 4 sec if he recast it and if ur not CS or trinket it, its a fukin fear for 2 sec.
Im an undead myself so why should I cry about wotf, I still think its broken and should be nerfed so it dont affect DR for example. escape artist is not game breaking for mage since they are a caster class anyway and stoneform is sick against one class ... wauw rly game breaking. shadowmeld is a fukin joke if his oppenent have a brain.
