    Question Current favored Alliance PvP Rogue Race?

    Good afternoon

    I am an altaholic. Figured I should start with that.

    Rerolling an Alliance rogue for PvP *not just Arena* purposes. I have pretty much scratched human off the list due to the changes to perception but have included them in the poll for voters sake. I was considering Dwarf or Nelf. Please don't assume I haven't done any research. My research is complete, the tail end of it requires your thoughts.

    Thank you ahead of time for your thoughts and participation.

    human. i use human, the extra trinket slot is useful even with the cooldown being set back. if not u can still use the trinket its not a big deal.
    dwarfs (i dont recall) have any useful racials for rogues.
    NEs are my second choice because of that extra stealth thing, the dodge is okay i suppose but really id go with humans. even without perception i consider them one of the best for pvp

    Dwarf or Gnome.
    Escape artist is REALLY useful vs mages/shamans and everyone else who can kite you around
    Stoneform is good vs warr or feral but i would totaly go with escape artist, its awesome (from own experience)
    Once you go gnome you never leave home!

    Gnomes are the superior race for rogues.

    Escape Artist plus you give horde baddie clickers a really difficult time.

    I should mention that what I really enjoy is smashing healers & overall changing the tide of battle by neutralizing important figures. In a BG, I will very rarely attempt to attack/kill anyone who isn't being productive. I'm trying to win.

    Did I mention that I enjoy harassing heals? I do.

    I wouldn't count on the clickers to ensure my good performance. Thank you sir for your time. Gnomes are just so damn... ugly. I have an 80 Gnome Warrior.

    GNOME > everything. Escape Artist > other alliance racials. Gnomes = hilarious. Besides horde seem to hate gnomes , and everyone hates rogues, so getting killed by a gnome rogue must piss them off most of all! GNOMES FTW

    3min insignia
    versus
    shadowmeld/quickness/(nature resistance)
    versus
    stoneform/(frost resistance)
    versus
    escape artist/(arcane(restistance).

    gnomes, humans and dwarf also comes with some +expertise on sword, mace or daggers (depends on class).

    having a nightelf rogue on my own, though i despite pvping as alliance (WHO THE HELL WANTS TO KILL HORDE? ), shadowmeld and quickness are really nice racial abilities.
    stone form is also very, very nice indeed (my pvp priest is currently dwarf) since it allows me to remove nasty poison and bleed effects, which i can't remove with spells and gives me a neat armor buff.
    my bankalt (currently level 70 because i'm out of char slots :| ) is a gnome mage and escape artist is sometimes really useful, especially with blink on cd.
    last but not least, humans. well.. my lock and dk are humans and sometimes i forget about my 3min insignia :/
    ››yeah, here used to be a signature once. I've must lost it somewhere in the twisting nether... still waiting for the mail from the postmaster.

    Gnome for sure. Then Worgen. I picked Dwarf because for some reason you didn't put down the two best Alliance classes.

    Worgen isn't an option, I think that was obvious here. I didn't include Gnome because I wasn't really counting them in. Thanks anyhow

    If not so hardcore PvP´er: Gnome
    Hardcore: Human, Dwarf and Nelf
    But since you´re scrapping humans, nelves and dwarfs are left.
    You say you just wann aplay bg, I´d personally take the Nelf female because dwarfs are hideous.
    But it´s all a matter of taste between racials and looks.

    There are only 2 options in your poll. Dwarves look like shit.

    Draenei/Orc

    just ask Garona what she thinks.

    But seriously, assign a number to each one and roll a die? dice? idk, don't lean on racials.
