Best Restoration Druid PvP Races
Alliance
Night Elf
If you plan to choose Alliance as your faction for Restoration Druid in Cataclysm PvP, Night Elf is your best option out of both factions. Shadowmeld is very dynamic and provides a lot of uses when in PvP combat.
Immunity to Projectiles
Shadowmeld as a racial ability can immune any incoming projectiles, which includes abilities that require some travel time, Frostbolt & Death Coil, and can immune instant abilities such as Blind.
Dropping Combat
Shadowmeld has the ability to remove combat off of your character, which can grant the player an opportunity to sneak in drinks during games.
Target Dropping
When Shadowmeld has been used, it will remove you as the target or focus target to prevent players from either attacking or stopping casts immediately.
Quickness Racial
Night Elf also has the passive racial Quickness, which gives a 2% chance for spells to miss including Crowd Control.
Horde
Tauren
If you plan to choose Horde as your faction for Restoration Druid in Cataclysm PvP, Tauren is your best option to choose from. War Stomp provides uses when in PvP combat, but isn’t as strong as Night Elf for alliance.
