Ok, honestly, has anybody really decided battle tactics or to fight or not based on silhouette? This has been there excuse for years and I have yet to meet somebody really does that. Most I have seen somebody say is somebody may be harder to kill. Thats it.

Hi! Good to meet you!

Apparently I'm in the vast minority, but I do actually think of the enemy in terms of silhouettes. Notice how I said that. I look for the enemy nameplate first, then I look for racial markers. To me, it helps to anticipate what racial abilities the target may use, and more recognizable than trying to call out a character's name. "Kill undead priest" just makes more sense to me than "Kill Pøøflïngaer". Let me clarify. Calling out race and class in vent seems to be more effective than a name. In type, I could go either way, but if I know my target is Forsaken vs goblin, it helps me to position my mouse on the screen to select him. And in all this, I'm assuming battlegrounds or Tol Barad, where there are more than 5 enemies to choose from.
