Best Warlock PVE Race

[Godmyster]

Hey there, simple question what would be the best race for a warlock pve atm since patch 4.1 came out?

Some people say gnome, others say worgen.. so im a little confused there,

Thanks

orc or goblin.

orc for spellpower buff and 5% pet dmg

goblin for cool tricks and 1% haste

[roahn the warlock]

Believe he want's alliance, Though I'm not familiar with them, I believe gnomes give intel and worg give crit, but rly, pick the one you think is coolest

[Viceversa]

1: goblin
2: orc
3: worgen
4: troll

[Kulthor]

Orcs ftw! Mine is undead though because I have 4 orc classes... Should have made the lock orc though.

[kvarn]

can we please have a thread sticky'd ranking the pve / pvp rankings of each race and displaying what each does

i see this post once a day

For each faction, in the order from best to worst.

Alliance: Worgen, Human, Gnome, Dwarf.
Horde: Orc, Troll, Goblin, Bloodelf, Undead.
Both: Orc, Troll, Goblin, Worgen, Human, Gnome, Bloodelf, Dwarf, Undead.

However, my lock is undead... but the race and class just go together. :]

Please explain why Human is better than Gnome.

Humans have 3% extra Spirit, Gnomes have 5% extra Mana and Worgen have 1% Crit.

Orc currently gives the highest DPS increase (Bloodfury, 5% increased pet damage)
Goblin is good too, 1% static haste and rocket jump; which is extremely handy in many situations, especially in this tier.
Troll is decent, with the free haste potion.
Worgen is the best choice for Alliance, with the sprint and 1% static crit.
Gnome gives 5% extra mana, not intellect. A decent choice as well.

...Either way play which race you prefer, they are extremely similar DPS-wise; it's all about your skill as a player.

take gnome and don't bother.

[Penguin FTW]

The goblin racial can be invaluable, so it's kind of hard to rate that.

[Kogerbarnet]

I'd say orc.. ive always been orc on my warlock, always will be.

Blood Elf

Being the sexiest raider in your group is worth way more than the few hundred DPS at max the other races give you

oh, and AT i guess

[DenniZ]

Orc! I recently racechanged to it from BloodElf

[loki504]

the best is what you like the best.
some say give me a fear/snare/stun breaker for pve. some say give me extra mana. and some like a sprint. they all got there uses.

[announced]

gnomes do not give intellect. just mana. which is pointless cause locks can just lifetap free mana anytime they want. same with spirit being useless so humans are out too, the only good thing is the human racial EMFHS.

worgens are the best for alliance.

Orc is best atm because of spellpower buff and pet damage +5%

Troll may be better in later teirs when the spellpower buff isn't as good anymore

Demo lock : Orc is best by a large margin

Afflict : Goblin, Orc, Troll

Destro : Goblin/Troll, Orc

As the teirs progress Troll will probably pass orc in all but demo because orc is the ideal demo lock race

No?

Orc. Period. Hands down. There is no competition. Orc is a retarded ammount of DPS.

[Godmyster]

Thank you for all the responses, i decided to go for Worgen since i am from the alliance, a good idea would be to put something like this in sticky, seems like many people ask this once in a while

I'd say tauren is a really bad warlock race... mostly because they can't be warlocks

On a serious note, it depends on if you want to do pve or pvp. For pve worgen is really nice due to the sprint ability. For pvp human for pvp trinket racial or gnome for snare break (the gnome racial shares only a 45sec cooldown with the pvp trinket if i'm correct)
