The reason I play in Japanese wasn't to avoid Wuk Lamat's VA, I dislike her character but have no problem with her voice. Krile's English VA is the reason. I have always hate her voice and won't be able to stomach it for a whole expansion. I don't know the reason or intention behind the English casting for Krile, but she sounds like the exact opposite of her Japanese VA.

In my experience the reason why Japanese VA tend to sound better is because they have a simple job - and that is just be their characters. But English VA seems to always be saddled with a bunch of extra baggage on top of that, for example it's known that English VA has to match whatever regional/race accent that imposed on them for some imaginary reason . In some case when it works out, it does elevate the performance above the Japanese VA, but most of them just come across forced and flat.
