WoW Races: Racial Abilities and What They Give

Racial abilities almost never decide the outcome of a battle, but in bottlenecks they provide a noticeable advantage. Let's look at what really matters.

Alliance

• Man — “Every man for himself” (removal of control effects). One of the best abilities for PvP in general.
• Night Elf - Shadow Meld (disengagement) and increased evasion: a great choice for Rogues and Druids.
• Dwarf - “Stone Form” (removing bleeding and poisons) - a classic against horns.
• Gnome — “Escape Artist” removes slows and hold effects, plus a bonus to intelligence.
• Draenei - “Gift of the Naaru” (healing yourself and allies) and a bonus to accuracy - useful for casters.

Horde

• Undead — “Will of the Forsaken” removes fear, sleep and charm - a powerful bonus against priests and warlocks.
• Orc — “Bloody Fury” (+damage and resistance), plus reduction in the duration of stuns.
• Tauren — “Thunderstride” (area stun) is the only mass stun of the race.
• Troll — “Berserk” (+attack/cast speed) — strong bursts for any fighter.
• Blood Elf — “Mana Flow”: area silence plus resource return.

Neutral

Pandaren — “Hope” and “Epicureanism” (bonus to characteristics from food),Draktir — role selection and flight,Landman — “Reliable stone” (protective bonus).

Conclusion

For PvP, look at the ability to remove control and burst (human, undead, orc, troll). For PvE - for passive bonuses to the main characteristic and accuracy. If you are a casual player, choose a race based on its appearance: a difference of 1-2% in damage is not worth ruining your mood.
