Ideal Race for Warrior : Alliance Edition

If you are thinking about rolling a new warrior, or race changing your old one, it is important to have a grasp of what the various races bring to the table. Racials aren’t that big a deal, but for anyone looking to maximize their potential it is important to pick the best race. This article will explain what each race excels at, be it Tanking, DPS, or PvP.

Humans are first up. Human’s extra expertise with swords and maces adds to their potential DPS. Every Man for Himself is somewhat useful for Tanks, and is completely amazing in PvP. Perception also benefits PvP warriors, although you still won’t be able to bust stealthers with any reliability.

Dwarf warriors are another popular choice, and for good reason. Stoneform is handy for Tanks and PvP warriors in particular, adding survivability, although DPS can benefit as well, since dead dwarves do no damage. Their bonus to expertise with Maces is good across the board, adding even more damage than a warrior’s mace bonus. And the extra Frost Resistance they come with can be good against mages, and occasionally shaman.

Gnome seems to be a somewhat popular choice, probably based on appearance more than racials; they don’t have any racials to improve their damage, and Escape Artist is pretty weak as far as on-use Racials go. Not a recommended race for anyone trying to min/max.

Night Elves are like gnomes in that they lack any damage improving talents, but unlike gnomes they have other decent racials. Elusiveness is a fantastic racial for PvP and Tanking, and Shadowmeld is great for getting the jump on enemies in PvP.

Draenei is our last race. Heroic Presence is a great racial for pretty much any purpose, thanks to the benefit it provides to both the Warrior and his party, although it doesn’t stack. Gift of the Naaru is another decent all-around racial; the ability to heal yourself in an emergency can be great for any warrior, although it is most useful in PvP. Finally, Shadow Resistance is nice against Warlocks and Priests.

So you know what each race brings, but which ones are the best? Well, Draenei is your best bet if you are focusing on DPS, and is a good all-around choice as well. For Tanking, Night Elf’s Elusiveness adds a nice little bit of avoidance, making them the best choice. And for PvP, the ability to equip an extra non-PvP trinket makes Human unmatched for Warrior, be it Horde or Alliance.
