I’ve decided on a main. But can’t decide - race for my alt priest. Pref female undead or male troll.

I need some influence

Help a brother out.

Female undead because male trolls look silly in dresses.

Unpopular opinion: Trolls look better in cloth

Removing aesthetics and preferential conditions, troll is better.

Overall troll is better in group PvP and PvE. Berserking and Shadowguard are insane. 10% to heals (at full health) is simply better for PvE. There are encounters where WoTF could be good in PvE BUT you should have shamans and if they are using tremors properly, you should not be getting feared anyhow. This doesnt even consider Hex (which is essentially a mortal strike) for PvP. Shadowguard can also proc on encounters where mobs/bosses do AoE where as devouring plague will never be granted a debuff slot in PvE. Of mention Shadowguard can also proc blackout as mentioned above.

Undead is arguably better for solo play / wPvP outside of a group. Devouring plague is VERY mana intensive and is really only worth mentioning when combined with Inner Focus. You could make an argument an Spriest would lean towards undead for duels/world PvP but rolling a class for its solo performance likely wont be your focus if you are min/maxing anyhow - youre likely someone who wants to play with a group and accomplish real content.

You will still see a ton of Undeads because people overvalue WoTF though so it wont really matter. While troll is definitely better you can get away with either and no one will make a fuss.

I dont know if I could personally stare at a troll while playing.

Pick based on aesthetics. If you don't care, go undead.
There seems to be an enormous conspiracy that has decided undead is no good. Forget comparing them to orcs: even trolls are better than them.
The absolute truth is that a guaranteed shutdown of a spammable CC is incredibly good, and this borne out by their continued popularity by high level private server autists.

Also, female Troll is infinitely better than male Troll.

I gave a pretty solid argument of why Troll priests are superior above. If you disagree you should outline an argument to why undeads are better. They arent, but I'd still like to hear your point of view.

Priests are a unique circumstance as each race provides unique abilities. Trolls are superior for PvE. Trolls are also favored in group PvP scenarios.

I would argue that there is an enormous conspiracy that undead WoTF is incredible, which stemmed from the largely misinformed population of Vanilla and has persisted for years.

Aesthetics are subjective. Having conversations about subjective decisions is meaningless. I assume that OP was interested in valuable arguments that compare the two races. He can choose which race is prettiest on his own.
