    Berserk > Blood fury.

    Blood fury is a flat attack power increase. Berserk is 20% haste--which stacks multiplicatively with gear based haste. Long story short, troll racial scales with gear. Orc racial doesn't.

    I dont play orc, but isnt the AP bonus a % if the player's? If so, that definately scales with gear. If not, I typed this all out in vain. XD
    Why is there no "Demonhunter" hero class yet? He was only the coolest hero in WC3. Get busy Blizzard.

    The class has better synergy with the Troll racial, to my understanding. Haste doesn't just affect energy regeneration, but also melee attack speed and, as a result, poison application; which works out very well for both Combat and Assassination.

    Blood Fury only scales with your level, from what I can tell. It doesn't scale with gear.

    EDIT: Also, keep in mind that Beast Slaying (5% extra damage against beasts, troll racial) will blow anything else out of the water when it actually applies. Which, granted, doesn't happen very often... But nonetheless.

    Most tiers have had at least one boss classified as a beast. T7 had maexxna, t9 had northrend beasts, t11 had chimaeron, t12 had beth'tilac. T14 has stone guard and garalon--two fights you'd go combat (which is the only spec that benefits the orc expertise racial--which is very very inferior to the beast slaying of trolls).

    undead has highest dps for assassination , orc for combat if u benefit from racial weapon bonus

  14. #14
    I would rate horde pve racials as follows:

    Orc (with weapon bonus)
    Undead
    Pandaren
    Troll
    Goblin
    Orc (without weapon bonus)
    Blood Elf

    Not so sure - Panda is showing better than Troll or Orc in Shadowcraft for me. For my gear: Panda > Orc > Undead > Troll.
    Regardless, the best rogue in our guild is a Blood Elf, and he's a clicker. Go figure.

    Orc is better right now because the only powerful Agility 1handers are fist weapons.
    Any other Tier (especially because Haste will start getting higher) is going to be Troll.

    (note: only picking between those two because that's what the name of the thread is, Pandaren actually has the best racials of the 5 Horde-rogue races)

    No. There's still very good daggers around (and relatively easy to obtain aswell!).

    For combat it's most likely orc or pandaren overall, followed by trolls and goblins. For assassination though I can't say much, been trying to hunt some information about this but even simcraft and such results seem to change quite often with upgrades.. Troll is a good choice if you plan to play different specs and such since it usually stays competitive versus others and berserking scales very well with gear.

    I'd probably say Troll but I do see a lot of undeads idk if its because they look cooler or if they actually help rogues.

    If you are picking only between these then Orc. In my gear atm, Panda came out on top in Shadowcraft so I race changed to Panda and never looked back.

    I'm one of the few rogues left in the world that is suspicious of Shadowcraft. Despite that, by mere virtue that Undead has a non-zero chance of saving your life, I would always rate it higher.

    Until scaling makes too large an impact, of course.
