Alliance
Night Elf
This is hands down the best race for Assassination Rogue. By now, you probably know how flexible Shadowmeld is. It is a massively nuanced cooldown, acting as a pseudo Vanish. Selecting this race can enhance our overall RoT damage.
Immunities
Shadowmeld as a racial ability can immune any incoming projectiles, which includes abilities that require some travel time, Mortal Coil and Chaos Bolt, and can immune instant abilities, such as Blind and Kidney Shot.
Damage Buffs
As this spec, Shadowmeld is best used to enter Stealth in order to receive all Stealth-based damage benefits. This is mainly to buff our Garrote with Improved Garrote.
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.
Racial Passives
Nature Resistance acts as a passive 1% damage reduction from any spell in the Nature Category. Additionally, Touch of Elune provides either Haste or Critical Strike, and is determined by server time.
Horde
Orc
Unfortunately, the best race options are on the side of Alliance. If you still find yourself looking for Horde options, Orc is quite familiar to most PvP players.
Hardiness Racial
Hardiness‘s ability grants players a passive 10% stun reduction, which is nerfed from its original 20% in PvP. Stuns used on you being a shorter duration as well as the use of a PvP trinket allow for players to slip away from danger quicker, and allow for players to be more active during a PvP game.
Blood Fury Racial
Orc gives players Blood Fury, an on-use racial for a nice DPS boost. This can be paired with your burst cooldowns like Deathmark or Kingsbane to maximize your burst windows.
