WoW Forever Best Race for Every Class

AllianceNight ElfThe strongest Alliance pick for damage. Elune's Light adds 10% crit for 15 sec, and Rend and Deep Wounds can crit in Forever.

HordeOrcThe best Horde pick. Blood Fury adds 10% Attack Power, axes give 1% crit and Hardiness shortens stuns by 20%.

PvPHumanThe PvP pick: Will to Survive breaks every stun. Sword Specialization adds 2% crit while you use swords.

AllianceDwarfBig Game Hunter adds 5% damage against Beasts, a Hunter racial in all but name since so many early targets and dungeon bosses are Beasts. Stoneform clears bleeds, poisons and diseases and cuts physical damage taken by 10%.

HordeTrollBeast Slaying adds 5% damage against Beasts, matching the Dwarf racial on the other faction, and Berserking adds 10% attack and cast speed for 10 sec whenever you need a burst window.

PvPTaurenWar Stomp stuns up to 5 enemies around you for 2 sec, a great opener for your pet and a lifesaver in PvP, and Endurance adds 5% health and 1% hit.

AllianceNight ElfShadowmeld lets you vanish out of combat and reset a fight, a second escape next to Vanish itself, and Quickness adds a little dodge and movement speed that stacks with everything else you do.

HordeOrcBlood Fury adds 10% Attack Power for 15 sec, a strong burst window to open with Ambush or Garrote, and Axe Specialization pays off now that Rogues can train One-Handed Axes.

PvPUndeadWill of the Forsaken removes Fear, Charm and Sleep on the spot, one of the strongest PvP racials in the game against casters and other Rogues. Touch of the Grave heals you a little on the side.

AllianceGnomeThe best Alliance pick. Expansive Mind adds Intellect for a bigger Mana pool, Escape Artist frees you from roots and slows so your demon can catch back up, and Eureka! makes your next hits stronger and cheaper.

HordeOrcThe best Horde pick and arguably the best overall. Blood Fury now adds Attack Power and Spell Power together, a big burst for your Shadow Bolts, and Hardiness cuts stun duration by 20% so your casts survive longer in a fight.

PvPHumanThe PvP pick. Will to Survive breaks any stun so you can start casting again right away, and the Human Spirit adds 5% Spirit, which feeds into how much Mana Life Tap gives back.

AllianceNight ElfThe classic Alliance choice and still the best all-round pick. Quickness adds a small dodge bonus that helps in every form, and Shadowmeld lets you vanish out of combat or set up a Cat Form opener.

HordeTaurenThe best Horde pick, especially for tanking. Endurance adds Health on top of Bear Form's own bonus, and War Stomp stuns up to 5 enemies at once, a great opener for a pull that goes wrong.

PvPSkyborneThe new race, on both sides, and a fun pick for PvP tricks the other two do not have. Walk on Air glides you off ledges and out of fall damage in battlegrounds, and Alliance Druids also get Read Ley Line, which doubles your Health and Mana regeneration near a ley line.
