Alliance
Night Elf
If you plan to choose Alliance as your faction for Subtlety Rogue in The War Within, Night Elf is your most preferred out of all the available options. This is mainly due to its iconic ability, Shadowmeld, synergizing amazingly with Subterfuge to get things going outside of Shadow Dance or Vanish. This racial ability has other uses outside of assisting your damage profile, making it extremely versatile in PvP combat.
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.
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.
Human
Another option you can stick with is Human, giving you another way of getting out of stuns. This can also affect how you choose to gear your Subtlety Rogue, although in most cases you won’t be making this change.
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 This allows you to escape stun effects more often, as you’ll commonly pair this with your PvP Medallion as this race.
Horde
Orc
If you plan to choose Horde as your faction for Subtlety Rogue in the War Within PvP, Orc is a easier alternative from all of the previously mentioned races. Your most valuable racial is Hardiness, as this reduces the duration of any stun on your character.
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 Shadow Blades to maximize your burst windows.
