best mage race

[LoLHellcy]

I think they changed it to 5% more mana.

yea, they woulda been the best caster (by alot), so they changed it to inc. mana

Gnome's are worthless for fire. There may be bath to support gnomes being better for arcane, particularly later into cata when the 5% scales better... but I haven't looked it up.

For alliance side, I'd say worgen is best (if you can live with the silly casting animations). While in this tier the 1% draenei hit is very valuable, the worgen speed boost cd will find use on many encounters, and once we get closer to t12, the 1% crit will outshine the draenei 1% hit by a large margin.

I haven't done any of the horde side math though, so I can't comment on that.

False.

Orc is the best by a few dps.

False, infact Troll is far better beyond ilvl 320ish gear and continues to get better with more gear

Play whatever race you want; it's ultimately your decision.
