    Undead on a pvp percpective



    reason:



    will of the forsaken is by far the best racial any race has got, in short its a tool that helps u against the most overpowered class in the game (warlocks)



    recently when blood elves came out i had a good think about it but i still think wotf is better because taking enemies mana and silencing them for 2 seconds isnt a big deal.. fighting something like a rogue or a warrior where silencing and mana tapping wont do anything isnt gonna help



    now ur probebly thinking but not ever class fears? right?



    true very true but u see fear for warlocks/priests/warriors are such a vital skill that if it doesnt work it at most times determines between life and death where as taking a little bit of the enemies mana isnt gonna do much, coz u see fights are usually over and done with before they even go oom :)



    NOTE: Blood elf pallies are the most oped pally race though! reason:



    if ur a paladin u will know how paladin vs paladin fights end up... long and boring, but if a blood elf paladin is in the picture the blood elf pally taps there mana/silences there heals as well as gaining mana back... which is :O awsome! im a human and going 1v1 against be pally is harder then any paladin iv ever fought :(



    for pve thought blood elves are good, in raids u could mana tap the boss and keep gaining back mana... which is nice



    NOTE: u will never get a raid boss oom or silence them so its just good for gaining mana back :)

    paladin is most lame class and paladins are very lame players...

    I feel Blood Elves have ruined the Horde, since now every other Horde is a Blood Elf.  I must say they do look good compared to the other races, and I guess that is the problem.

    No longer Alliance Vs Horde.  It's Alliance Vs Blood Elves & friends!  >.<

    I prefer blood elves myself, as I'm not really keen on the look of the others.

    I must say though, the mana tap appears to be different from the op's view to my experience of it. I've found that mana tap itself is so useless after level 40 that I don't even have it on my qb any more (3 mana taps stacked up, arcane torrent will JUST give enough mana for 1 shadowbolt). Arcane torrent is useful though, as not only is it a short term silence, the key point, it interupts casts aswell. So if you've got a mage getting a fireball ready, for example, a quick arcane torrent, and they've got a pause, then have to restart the cast. It's as important against casters as will of the forsaken is against fear. Not game breaking, but handy.

    The best horde race is Undead, no matter what your opinion may be.

    tauren cause its not ripped from other fantasy games/books, even then its just a cow that walks or a minotaur - the human part. Personally all wows races suck except for draeni because its the only original race in WoW.

    That's horrible logic, you should be ashamed.

    A Belf rogue with dungeon 3 assasination set equiped sure looks awesome.

    i personally like playing orcs because for some reason i think they are the most fun to play

    but undead would probably be the best because of wotf

    Going by that logic, the Draeni aren't original either, as they're aliens, and we all know aliens were done long before WoW!

    it's not the design of a race that makes it original, it's the stories and the lore behind it, something that Blizzard have put a lot of thought into. They made something that looks immediately familiar, but has it's own unique background.

    I hate when people say that. Grow up. What class a person decides to play wont change what their personality is. People are rude before they sit down at the keyboard. Do you think the nicest person in the world is going to sit down and start up a WoW character and then when they pick the palading class POOF! they become lame? No. If you are lame you are lame if you arent you arent.

    Exactly

    Ok, past World of Warcraft player but I had 6 Level 60 Horde compared to only my 2 60 Alliance characters.

    Warrior


    • Orcs are great for Warriors if you want to do some PvE like I did with mine because of their awesome stun resist for raid bosses. Plus that Arms Talent for even more stun resist. They also get that nice Axe Specialization.


    • Taurens are nice for Warriors as well because of their Health Increase. Then again, by the time you are 70 that Health Increase isn't half as effective as the Stun Resist because 5% at Level 70 is like what.. 10 Health?


    • Undead arn't great for this, they have the least amount of health out of all the races but I guess their WotF is ok for Warriors.


    • Trolls get berserker for damage.

    Hunter



    • Orcs also ok for people that like pets if they're a Hunter, which most don't, for their plus to pet Damage.



    • Tauren get a, well.. nothing really except their health. But Hunter's really shouldn't have things attacking them anyways making that pretty useless. The racial stun is ok for if someone gets too close and you need a quick get-away leading to kiting.


    • Trolls are great for Hunters. Berserker with a bad arse Marksmanship Hunter in PvE will top the Hunters on the Damage Charts in PvE and PvP. They also get a bow specialization.

    Priest


    • Undead are great for Shadow Priest vs. Shadow Priest because of their Shadow Resistance, and once again WotF.


    • Trolls, eh.. don't.


    • Blood Elves get their extra silence and Mana Suck, great for casters.

    Shaman


    • Orcs once again, stun resist.


    • Tauren get their Health increase plus their stun move for a quick emergency heal.


    • Trolls have berserker for an Enhancement Shaman. It really matters what you want to be a LITTLE better at with that one.

    Druid


    • That's simple, Tauren.

    Paladin


    • Oooh another easy one, Blood Elf.

    Rogue


    • Orcs get their stun resist versus other Rogues.


    • Undead get WotF for annoying Warlocks.


    • Trolls for their berserker and if you're a really wierd Rogue.. Bow Special.


    • Blood Elves [best] get their TWO silences from Kick and their racial, then a great energy sucker.

    Mage


    • Undead get WotF.


    • Trolls... yea, no.


    • Blood Elves give a Mage a chance for a Silence and their mana regeneration from their racial.

    Warlock


    • Orcs, once again Pet Damage and Stun Resist for casting spells - Rogues are a pain verse Warlocks.


    • Undead are great for Warlocks vs. Warlocks because of their WotF [PvP]. 


    • Blood Elves have their silence and mana suckage.

    I played WoW horde from release all the way up to a few days after TBC. Race, class, whatever. People are people and they will always be who they are.

    Why not? My troll mage was great at pve/raids. Beserking decreases cast time, enough so that when a rogue gets close i freeze him-beserk-pyro blast his stealthy buttocks.

    Most people who go into the Pyro-Blast build [I was Arcane/Fire pre-BC with my Undead Mage], usually go into Presence of Mind for an Instant Pyroblast.

    Now that people actually go fully into fire, maybe that is not the case.

    I just hardly saw Troll Mages before BC because most people were smart enough not to waste their time on it.

    Beserk is good for all the talent trees.

    You could use Presend of Mind for your pyro, and beserk for anything else.

They made something that looks immediately familiar, but has it's own unique background. warcrafts stuff is stolen directly from warhammer but no your right lots of time and thought put in to. Normally i wouldnt bring up things being stolen cause in all honesty it doesn't matter, but this example is kind of infuriating and blatantly obvious  they barely have different names for crying out loud.

    i like orc the best and before it got nerfed they did have the best racial imo, 25% to stun resist was bad ass but now? definitely not as good but i still like orc the best.
