Table of Contents
Alliance
Human
For our most preferred and offensive option we have Human, which gives you another way of getting out of stuns. This can also affect how you choose to gear your Retribution Paladin.
Substitute Trinket
Will to Survive as a racial ability has similar effects to the current PvP trinket, but only removes stun effects from your character and is a 3 minute cooldown. You also have some flexibility using it, giving you the option to swap out your Medallion trinket for a trinket that provides more damage. Paladins have this luxury due to the spec being more forgiving with immunities. If you choose to play with a PvP Medallion trinket as this race, you’ll be able to trinket out of stuns more often.
Dark Iron Dwarf
For our last viable option on Alliance, we have Dark Iron Dwarf. What makes Dark Iron Dwarf a promising pick is their racial Fireblood, acting as an offensive and defensive tool when pressed.
Fireblood Racial
Fireblood grants you primary stat, and is increased depending on the amount of bleeds, poisons, diseases, curses, and magic spells applied on your character. Any effect that increases primary stat will also be removed off your character, making this crucial to use in scenarios where you would want to alter the current state of a match into your favor.
Horde
Tauren
If you plan to choose Horde as your faction for Retribution Paladin in The War Within PvP, Tauren is your best option to choose from. Your most valuable racial is War Stomp, granting you extra Crowd Control on nearby targets.
Additional CC
War Stomp‘s ability grants an additional stun that can be paired with paladin Crowd Control, such as Hammer of Justice, to provide players additional follow up Crowd Control, or can be used as an initial stun. War Stomp also goes through abilities such as Evasion from Rogues, so it can be valuable to use this stun to finish off a target un-expectantly in a short burst window.
HP Increase
Tauren is provided with a passive racial, Endurance, which grants additional stamina. Retribution Paladins are common targets in arena, and can be beneficial for your survivability.
