Determining which race your new Horde warrior should be can be difficult. Some of the racials are worded vaguely, and determining whether Blood Fury or Berserking is better is impossible unless you’ve compared them at 80. But don’t fret, because we’ll go over each race, detailing the value its racials brings to the table for PvP, Tanking, and DPS.

The first race we’ll wnat to discuss is Undead. For PvP, undead have historically been the best, but in 3.3 Will of the Forsaken will be nerfed, reducing them to merely “okay”. For DPS, they bring nothing to the table. For Tanking, being able to get out of fears and other CC and regrab aggro can save the day.

Second up is Orc. For PvP, Orc’s stun reduction is handy, and Blood Fury is great for bursting down enemies. For DPS, Blood Fury is again a great DPS boost, and with many top-end warrior weapons being axes, their Axe Expertise will also add a handy boost to their DPS in many cases. For Tanking, Orc doesn’t bring much to the table.

The third race up for discussion is Tauren. Warstomp is amazing for PvP, as is the extra health Tauren get. Tauren don’t really have anything to help with DPSing, but for Tanking, once again the extra health they bring to the table is great, and a Warstomp at the right time can save the day against stunnable foes.

Though they lack in popularity, Trolls make good warriors. They make one of the best DPS races in the game, thanks to Berserking. For Tanking they don’t really have anything worthwhile, although Regeneration might be worth something. For PvP, the burst of Berserking and the duration reduction of movement impairing CC both benefit them greatly.

So which races are best for which purposes? Tauren is the clear winner for PvP, now that Undead is getting nerfed. For DPS, you want Troll or Orc; Orc is better when wielding Axes, Troll otherwise. Since a lot of top-end weapons are axes right now, Orc is probably the better choice. And finally, Tauren once again are the best, this time for Tanking.

So, that’s it for this article on Horde racials for warriors. Tauren is my personal top pick; doing a few dozen more damage every second is nice, but having more health on the tank can mean the difference between a wipe and downing the boss. Not to mention I love PvP. Hope you enjoyed this article, be sure to check out my site!
