Table of Contents
All races listed below are all equally as good, as any of these picks allow you to climb up to the highest available ratings in any PvP bracket. That being said, it’s best to choose the race that best suits your personal liking.
Horde
Undead
The first, and most defensive Horde option here is Undead, as this provides us with the most iconic racial tied to this race, Will of the Forsaken. This reacts similar to Will to Survive for Human, but allows us to break out of any fear-like Crowd Control while putting our PvP Medallion on a 30 second internal cooldown before it can be used again.
Will of the Forsaken Racial
Will of the Forsaken reacts similar to your PvP Medallion, although instead of removing all Crowd Control effects, it removes only Fear Crowd Control effects.
Racial Passives
We also receive Touch of the Grave for a small healing and damage bonus whenever we attack a target, and have Shadow Resistance for a measly 1% damage reduction from any Shadow spell.
Orc
Another viable pick is Orc, passively granting us a reduction on any Stun effect that is applied to our character due to its most potent racial ability, Hardiness.
Hardiness Racial
Hardiness reduces the duration of all stuns on your character by 10%, as it is nerfed by half in PvP, making you less likely of becoming a kill target simply by this racial alone. This will grant you more overall uptime on your spells in any matchup.
Blood Fury Racial
Blood Fury acts as a flat on-use buff to our primary stat, always scaling the best at the beginning of every expansion.
Alliance
Night Elf
Directing our attention to the Alliance side, Night Elf is highly recommended because of its iconic racial, Shadowmeld. When given a skilled enough Priest, this can be a complete game changer of a spell due to how versatile it really is.
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, like Blind and Kidney Shot.
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.
Dropping Combat
Shadowmeld has the ability to remove combat off of your character, which can grant the player an opportunity to periodically sneak in drinks during games.
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.
Gnome
And as our last suggested race, we have Gnome featured as a solid pickup, as Escape Artist allows us to remove any root even during silence effects.
Escape Artist Racial
Escape Artist gives you a physical root removal that is off the global cooldown, and with this means you can remove silence effects as stated above. The most notable use of this is to escape out of any Balance Druid’s Root Beam combo, making it highly unlikely that you ever have to use your PvP Medallion to get out.
Racial Passives
Expansive Mind passively increases your Mana Resource by 5%, Arcane Resistance acts as a passive 1% damage reduction from any spell in the Arcane category, and Nimble Fingers provides a measly 1% increase to your Haste.
