Classic WoW: Picking Your Race!

[@WillEmmo]

Will of the Forsaken? Old news. Roll an Orc today! This message brought to you by the Alliance Priest and Warlock Assocation (no really though) Also im working on the priest vid Need MOAR updates? twitter.com/WillE_WoW

[@nitecruzer]

Can't wait for the Warlock video!

[@starsareangels7]

Was just gonna ask for a priest one, I normally play a tank, but I'm gonna try priest this time. Having performed a real life exorcism on a real life possessed satanist Warlock I figure I wanna try a priest in vanilla as I usually played paladin lol. Kinda funny how that works.

[@WillEmmo]

@@uuamenator Yeah was just messing about lol

[@goguthegod]

i actually will play orc probably, I just love that stun resistance especially when its rogue vs rogue, I got my ass whooped in a private server by a orc I just couldnt stun him :(

[@l.c.lombard6332]

Will of the Forsaken is the only racial active ability in wow that never starts on your toolbar at all even to modern parts of the game due to cannibalize.

"Night elves were definitely the best alliance race for druids" ... +10!

the best and also the worst

[@91jonnyfox]

True... LIke there was any other option for druids xD

its not true at all though

[@dungeriedee]

@@Dyne3 are you dumb?

[@warhammerguy]

Best advice for picking race: Make sure you like the model and the animations. You will be staring at these for many many hours. If you pick a race for cool/good racials but absolutely hate the model/animation you will not have a good time and will almost certainly re-roll later on.

[@MegaSzisz]

thats my problem i like human female rogue but pvp and duels without fear immune i think huge disadventage vs undeads

[@nicolaos355]

I dislike every classic model and animations.... ehm, f.uck my life

[@caboose.20]

You know what's also really bad? Male orc gun firing animation. Should be a -3% hit chance right there.

[@billjensen51]

You didn't even mention the NE bounce or flip. List invalidated.

[@beastwarsFTW]

Dwarves have more bounce.

[@tenjenk]

NE master race. Females had the best spellcasting and melee combat animations in the game.

[@nothankyou4859]

to be fair, female orcs and trolls don't slouch at all. in a full set of plate, a female orc could be mistaken for human at a glance

[@WillEmmo]

Thats true, just the males just the posture problems lol

[@zoogie980]

Females orcs are my favorite character models on the horde. Extremely satisfying movements and actions imo

[@Geraduss]

@@zoogie980 Shame their casting animation is the worst on the horde side, they weirdly sloutch over and wave their hands like some mental handycap. Just as equaly human females melee anymations are the worst on alliance, with a 2h weapon it looks like shes shoving something up her um.. you know.

[@rudy1999]

Undead female is the best looking Horde race by far

[@1ButtonDash]

As an alliance rogue... I'll just say this. I've lost numerous battles to ORCS simply because of their stun resist racial. It's unbelievable how good it is. It's hands down THE BEST PVP racial. No lie this has happened to me often... -Cheapshot -> RESIST -build combo points -Kidneyshot -> RESIST -Vanish -Cheapshot -> RESIST WELL F*CK ME!

[@zoogie980]

Play whatever race you want to, dont let those min/max nerds tell you what the best combo is. Remember you gotta see your character run, fight, talk, etc for many many hours. Just play what you enjoy :)

[@WillEmmo]

Totally agree! Many people think min max is the only way to play now, but hey just enjoy your time! Im glad I like gnomes AND they are good!

[@RaiderDave42069]

Night Elf for life, even tho I'm not a big fan of their racial abilities

[@saiyan_princestudios9790]

this is the best reason to not play a priest dwarf, b/c they are ugly lol

[@stndrd3608]

WillE gnome warlocks are just awesome. Evil little guys 😂😂

[@joshuaroe1402]

Chrono Trigger They are the best race in the game. The only Change to Classic that I could get behind would be beard options for female dwarfs because dwarfs and beards are great.

[@HankJ666]

11:35 Jokes on you, in DnD intelligence and wisdom are 2 separate stats

[@debombibandebumbo6986]

My half-orc barbarian can`t see the diference

[@rumbleshakes]

Pulled from WoWHead Classic: Druid - Tauren/Night Elf are the only option. Hunter - Trolls in PvE due to Berserking and Bow Specialization. Orcs are preferred in PvP due to Hardiness. Night Elves are generally preferred for their higher base agility. Mage - Troll in PvE due to the very strong Berserking DPS cooldown. Undead in PvP due to Will of the Forsaken. Human and Gnome are both strong. (Personally think Gnome is best) Paladin - Human is preferable, especially for Protection and Retribution. Priest - Troll in PvE due to the powerful Berserking cooldown which increases cast speed. Undead in PvP due to Will of the Forsaken. Human is strong due to The Human Spirit, Dwarves are strong due to Fear Ward. (Personally think Dwarf is the way to go) Rogue - Orcs are the best race for Rogues due to the DPS cooldown Blood Fury, followed by Trolls which also have the strong DPS racial Berserking and situational PvE racial Beast Slaying. Undead in PvP due to Will of the Forsaken. Human is best due to Sword Specialization and Mace Specialization. Shaman - Trolls are preferable for healers and ranged DPS as Berserking increases cast and attack speed. for Melee, Orcs are preferable for the Blood Fury cooldown. Warlock - Both Orc and Forsaken have strong PvP racials. The Orc racial Command also has use in solo and dungeon situations where you do not need to sacrifice your pet. Gnomes are strong due to Expansive Mind. Warriors - Each race shines in different situations. Orcs are great DPS warriors due to Blood Fury and Axe Specialization. Taurens have the powerful AoE stun via War Stomp, which is useful in dungeons. Trolls, due to the synergy of Berserking with Heroic Strike allowing efficient rage to threat conversion, are solid tanks in the end game. Undead, as usual, are very strong for PvP due to Will of the Forsaken. Humans are best due to the Sword Specialization and Mace Specialization racials. TL;DR Alliance has Humans for Paladin, Rogue, and Warrior; Night Elf for Druid and Hunter; Gnome for Mages and Warlocks; and Dwarf is Priest. Horde has Orc for Rogue, Warlock and Warrior; Troll for Hunter, Shaman, Mage, and Priest; Tauren for Druid; Undead as the PvP race for any class.

[@WillEmmo]

Nice info cheers

[@rumbleshakes]

@ubigmad I guess you didn't read. I'll repeat it: "Pulled from WoWHead Classic." So it's from WoWHead (not me). But let me defend their reasoning... the 5 bonus skill to all swords and maces means your hit chance is that of a level 61. There is no other race for Alliance that increases damage like Human. Also, extra stealth detection is amazing for PvP. Extra reputation for those rep grinds is great. The only one that doesn't fit is Spirit bonus.

[@wisniamw]

@@rumbleshakes I would add troll shadow priest to pve. His special ability with that stun talent was insane

[@WoWFtw8]

tauren war stomp allows tauren hunters to interrupt mages that try to get into the no-attack zone for hunters. stomp is 8yrds and ranged attacks is 8-35 (41 with talents) and melee is 0-5yrds.

[@chadbugansky]

Gnome- /train emote is best

[@kalzor56]

like there is any better race than tauren

[@bobhope2380]

worth noting for the Tauren racial, you get your "Total health" increased by 5%, NOT your stamina. which means with stat buff increases, you will only get the +stam from your gear/buffs, the buffs arent accumulative with their racial. just gives 5% hp. big difference between the 2.

[@WillEmmo]

Good point Bob, 2 different things, easily confused

[@BatmatYT]

Tauren Shaman main since September 2007. . . . doors and tight stairs are the true endgame bosses.

[@otya3]

for gnomes engi specialization isn't just a 15 point head start it's also a 15 points to your max engineering So what? I hear you thinking well it mostly irrelevant except for the mechanical dragonlings which scales off of your engi level gaining one level for every five points of engi skill. This means that gnomes can summon a level 63 guardian to fight for you while everybody else was stuck with a level 60

[@nicholasthuraisingam4857]

Also, leveling any profession that is correct for the race e.g engineering for gnomes or herbalism for tauren allows you to skill everything 15 levels further than you would on other races. For example a briarthorn would go grey for an orc at 100 (idk) and 115 for a tauren.

[@MrCaptnrex]

tauren also has long melee range than other races. Which is a bonus its easy to overlook since it's not shown anywhere.

Against casters this is beneficial, though against other melee it is not, as they get they same reach you do

[@shii5795]

Human - Warrior Blacksmith / Miner for my main. Dwarf - rogue Miner / Herbalist for an alt/mule and to sneak into BRD to smelt dark iron. Gnome - Warlock Tailer/Enchanter for my Auction House Bunny. Gnome- Mage Alchemist - Herbalist for a money alt to every few days crank out an arcanite bar. Yeah, I know that's a bunch of characters. But I'll get to them eventually. Probably when I wanna take a break from the warrior.

Best Alliance race for picking Druid, I see what you did there XD

[@WillEmmo]

You would be surprised how many people didnt LOL

[@actionhanz3420]

​@@WillEmmo had a chuckle myself there. your profile pic even looks like an angry alliance druid made to wear the leave crown and spec heal haha

[@Meowmeow.age.6]

TL:DR Are you PvPing? Undead if you hate being feared Orc if you hate being stunned. Dwarf if you hate blinds and poisons. Human if you like more weapon skill. Gnome if you like big numbers on your mage. Are you PvE? Troll for berserk. Human for weapon skill. Gnome for intellect.

[@ZhangtheGreat]

If you want to choose your class after your race, and you want to take _full_ advantage of _all_ racial features, here is the best for each... Orc - Hunter. It's the only class that can take advantage of both axe specialization and command. Tauren - Any class. Warrior and tank druid might benefit more from the increase in health though. Just pick herbalism as one of your professions. Troll - Rogue or Warrior. I know hunter is the best for that bow specialization, but hunters won't use thrown weapons (even though they can), whereas both warriors and rogues do for pulling. Undead - Any class. Human - Paladin. It's the only class that can take advantage of sword and mace specializations as well as benefit from the increase in spirit. Night Elf - Druid or Rogue. Shadowmeld is extra effective for those two classes. Dwarf - Hunter. It's the only class that benefits the most from that gun specialization. However, if you also want to take advantage of the starting stamina bonus, then warrior works as well. If you really don't care about racial features, go with the priest for fear ward. Gnome - Mage or Warlock. Warrior and rogue don't benefit from the intellect bonus. Just pick engineering as one of your professions.

[@ryuno2097]

What about Shamans?

[@ZhangtheGreat]

@@ryuno2097 Again, this is if you choose your class _after_ you decide on your race. If you already want to play a shaman, then choose the race you think best fits shamans.

[@Relbl]

It's between troll hunter, orc shaman, and tauren druid for main... 2nd char will be either cow warrior tank or troll priest heals.

[@crazytech5755]

So stoked and excited! I'll be a god damn cow shaman.

[@OmnipotentGoggles]

As someone on a hardcore server, it's interesting to see how much more popular troll is this time around, and how unpopular UD is. Health regeneration saving lives, I guess. Troll warriors also start with a throwing weapon, which is really solid early on.

Of all the way too many characters I played, I remember my NE rogue best because of Vanilla time investment. I remember most fondly my Orc warrior, Dwarf priest, NE Hunter and gnome mage. Whether it was these combos that made them hard to gank, or the literal months of in-game time spent as a rogue is anyone's guess. The priest even made some horde friends due to the MC/renew combo. I assume that was possible due to spell batching, because it vanished on me on WOTLK or so.

[@DoAGoldeneye]

I rolled Tauren Hunter when Classic started because the other zones were quite unplayable. I always had to dismount entering the UC elevator, but that was the only door really bothering me... until I won the ZG raptor. Suddenly I got stuck everywhere. I love my raptor, but I also bring a kodo if I'm gonna be in/out of indoors a lot. As for the Hunter part, not getting Berserking or Command is a dps loss already, but it also increased my minimum range for ranged attacks. This means pvp is very annoying and in Naxx I had to stand further from Thaddius, making my buff sometimes not reach the most forward melee.

[@sparkoceanic]

I like human warlocks and troll priests the most. Raptors are great looking mounts!

[@WillEmmo]

Yeah seems like im in the minority lol

[@NateTheScot]

HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE KODOS? XD I love them, and they're one of the few mounts that follow the angle of terrain instead of staying "level" even when you're running along the side of a steep cliff basically. Honestly though for pvp and as a hunter i'm thinking it has to be orc. Back in vanilla i was a night elf and LOVE all things elf in lore and music and art and architecture and eeeverything, but as most of the people i know these days (and myself) have been horde for a good few years, they plan to stay horde in classic. I'm seriously going to miss levelling my druid and hunter through the night elf zones, but maybe i'll make some alts. I have so sooo many amazing memories from vanilla... Such good times. Please blizz fix retail wow, or we'll be doomed to repeat this cycle for eternity :S

[@porcu12345]

Definitely don't sleep on Troll shadow priests in Vanilla. Berserking + Mana Burn is a legit combination for PvP, as well as getting off some rapid burst healing. The tooltip is also wrong, as testing in the classic beta showed that Berserking can increase casting speed by 40% when at 40% health (Blizz confirmed this was not a bug). Shadowguard has a quite a few hidden benefits too; it scales really well with spell damage, procs blackout stuns on melee and ranged people attacking you (amazing for disrupting warrior, rogue, hunter and mage openers), and it causes spell pushback on enemy casters. Spamming rank 1 Hex can spread mortal strike across an entire enemy team in BG's for next to no mana too. Also, remember that Devouring Plague for Undead can be dispelled by every single class in the game with a very easily farmed item called 'Jungle Remedy', not to mention it's useless in PvE.

Forgot to mention that gnomes, being as small as they are will have to swim in some places where other races can walk.

WIth the whole undead bone stuff... if you add SET overrideArchive "1"into your config.wtf file, you can make get rid of them all sticking out! Makes armour look much better on them

[@WillEmmo]

Nice stuff - I thought only the Chinese client could hide that

I personally don't really like the Wolf mount run animation. Feels more like floating than running.

Felt like my char was breaking its back when it was at 60% run speed.

Berserking and rapid fire with a fast weapon speed bow was like an automatic weapon.

[@Gardstyle35]

tauren hunter, stomp, fake suicide, lay trap --> u can use traps in meele and they are realy powerful, freeze the enemey and get range to finish him off savely or use an explosive trap for that extra amount of dmg. also the extra stun is realy nice vs mages and warlocks

[@windforce22]
