Tauren Shaman

It took me a while to come up with a tauren shaman outfit that I really liked, but I'm pretty happy with this result. The truth is, most shaman sets look pretty awesome on tauren, but I wanted something just a little more unique. I also wanted to go with a "tribal elder" vibe, as opposed to the "armored warrior of the elements" vibe that a lot of shaman sets have. The main thing I like about this set is that it features Sternhorn's Shield, a uniquely tauren shield that doesn't really match a whole lot -- but here it's perfect! For the weapon enchant, I would actually use either Illusion: Flametongue or Illusion: Earthliving, depending on if he's Elemental or Restoration specced.

Tauren Paladin

Tauren paladins were one of the best things to come out of the Cataclysm class expansion (along with troll druids), and the Sunwalkers are awesome. That was one of the things I liked about Mists, specific factions (or even sub-factions) had specific things they were doing in the world or in the story. It made the expansion very connected to the lore and politics of Warcraft, even taking place in Pandaria. Sadly, that's been lost in Warlords, but I hope it comes back sometime. In the meantime, here's my attempt at a Sunwalker champion. I'm really happy with this outfit -- the gold and glowing blue make it a distinctively paladin look, but the roughness and horns make it look a little wild and primal too, which I think fits a Tauren holy warrior.

Tauren Warrior

Most plate sets look badass on tauren, but I decided to do something different for Boruun, something a little more appropriate to the tauren culture and aesthetic. Something less "plate-clad colossus", and more "tribal nomad warrior." This set started with the light shoulders and the Thunder Bluff tabard, and everything else followed from there -- rather well, I think. I naturally went with the Axe of the Tauren Chieftains for a weapon, but if you want a 1h+shield look, I would recommend the Talon Guard Wingclipper and Observer's Shield.
