    best pvp racial ?

    which race as the best pvp racial abilities?
    avoid talking about particular encounter, in general

    gnome : Escape Artist : Escape the effects of any immobilization or movement speed reduction effect. Instant cast. 1 min, 45 sec cooldown as of Patch 2.3 (was 1 min).

    dwarf : Stoneform : Activate to gain immunity to poison, disease, and bleed (will also remove these types of debuffs); +10% Armor; Lasts 8 seconds. 3 minute cooldown.

    human : Every Man for Himself : Removes all movement impairing effects and all effects which cause loss of control of your character. This effect shares a cooldown with other similar effects, 2 minute cooldown.

    night elf Shadowmeld : Activate to slip into the shadows, reducing the chance for enemies to detect your presence. Lasts until cancelled or upon moving. Any threat is restored versus enemies still in combat upon cancellation of this effect, 2 minute cooldown.

    dranei Gift of the Naaru : Heals the target of 170 damage over 15sec. The amount healed is increased based on the caster's Spell Power or Attack Power, whichever is higher. This ability does not lose casting time from taking damage. 3 minute cooldown.

    Unless you consider that the human racial shares a cooldown with the trinket... So other races get trink + whatever their racial is.

    Personally, I think Humans have the best pvp racial, because you no longer need a trinket(unless you are hurting for resilience) so you can fill that slot with a more effective trinket. However the Undead and Dwarf abilities are really good as well.

    PS. you forgot the forsaken

    Every Man for Himself was way more OP before the new Wintergrasp trinkets. Now that you can get the same functionality from a DPS trinket, it's not nearly as big of a deal.

    I can't believe people don't talk about Arcane Torrent or War Stomp more. I did 3's as a holy paladin in S4. Those two abilities really broke my balls.

    For many classes(mostly dps, especially melee) the Human racial is awesome, but for certain classes the Undead racial is just as or more powerful. 3x Undead RMP or Rogue/Priest is insanely difficult for any team that relies on Fear as a CC.

    Re: best pvp racial ?

    There are many versions of trinkets that give the human racial so I think it's clearly not the winner in this case. All of the Titan-Forged Runes give a choice of +spell, AP, crit, or haste plus the human racial effect.

    If I could equip a trinket that gave me +spell with a use ability that gave me an AOE silence/minor resource regen, then I might say human was the best.

    If everyone can get your racial plus a passive stat buff, then your racial isn't the best.

    Having played every race (besides Troll, NE and Dranei) extensively, I have to say nothing comes close to Human.

    If you are good, you want to be undead. Human racial means nothing it is really just a 'nice' thing to have. I would so much rather have a stun, a silence, or a free fear break + a trinket. But whatever. Stoneform is so fucking garbage now that they nerfed it 10 times over. uh.. shadowmeld is a nice free feign death and naaru sucks. Horde are just better in the end i don't care. But I'm stuck with stoneform so i feel that horde are the best.

    Human is the best really?

    Last time I checked it is way better to have 2 pvp trinkets than 1. (Have you met r/p or r/m/p?)

    Undead all the way.

    Re: best pvp racial ?

    The best racial depends on the class you want to play.

    If your alliance human is hands down the best. For horde you can go with Tauren stun, BE silence or Undead, all of those have differing value depending on class.

    Shadowmeld sucks ass, too bad i made my warrior when i was 16 and didn't know i was gimping myself in PvP

    Humans' racial does need to be toned down abit, maybe making it 3mins so theirs some downside. Then again no one whould use it, maybe just totally changing it would be better.

    Most racials don't make a major difference unless you arena, I make my characters based on animations of the toon, some animations suck; think male Orcs, they have the anatomy of a cheap plastic wrestler action figure and move like one too, male Orcs just look dumb as anything but a warrior.

    But anyways, my favorite pvp racial has to be cannibalize!
    Insulting and delicious! Won a few 3s eating someone team mate when my healer died or was the only one left.

    P.S
    Gnomes need an animation on escape artist. Why have they still not added one?

    Re: best pvp racial ?

    I try to avoid most PVP, so I don't know how effective it is (If at all anymore), but Humans also have Perception to be considered in racials for PVP.

    It depends on the situation, but the 2 best are probably human and undead.
