Warlock race choices in SL.

Orc... the true Warlock Race

[DazManianDevil]

Undead for affli or destro, orc for demo. Entirely for flavor reasons.

Or of course vulpera, for ...different flavor reasons.

I was actually going more for the British-fox-hunting vibes there, implying that i.e. worgen might find them tasty.
But i suppose the furry stuff also works.

So in prep for SL I decided to dust off my ol Warlock and transfer to Horde.
The Bloodmallet templates don't currently have Warlock data and I was wondering what the best race is (Horde side) for PvE focused content?
Mythic raid progression in the world 1,500-2,000 range, keys in the sub 20 range. I've done keys over 20 but they're not a huge prio for me.

I'd be looking to play Destro or Affi depending on tuning, so the races that jumped to mind were Goblin for 1% haste and some mobility while Belf has 1% crit and AoE purge.

Any insight would be nice, I know race choices aren't a huge mathematical advantage but why not?

PvE is Human > Undead
PvP is Orc > Human

Undead get that damage and self heal proc which does seem to do a moderate amount of damage.
Human has great PvP ability but the 2% secondary stat is decent (ends up being ~0.2% mastery, haste, crit, vers).
Orc gets that 1% pet damage which is pretty good for Demonology but is almost nothing for the other specs and Orc gets Hardiness which will be amazing in SL.

Troll > Human > Void Elf > Goblin

In all seriousness, I always pick my race for the best PvP race since the DPS difference is so minor (+/- 2%) that it's not HUGE where as in PvP races do mean a bit more.

I am not attached to a particular race. I choose the ones that I like. The Alliance likes the Void Elves. For the Horde, I have been playing Blood Elves for several years. They may not be the most successful races in terms of potential, but in terms of aesthetics, they are wonderful characters.

If you wanna minmax then Orc for pvp, Troll for pve.

[Selastan]

Vulpera have the best racials. You aren't going to see a dps or survivability increase even at the highest level of play for race, so it's all about convenience. And I cant think of anything better than those extra bag slots and second hearth to anywhere on the map.

Troll is the only real choice for PvE. Everything else blows. Trinkets and caster specs overall operate on DPS windows. Berserking makes them a lot more impactful.

[JustaWarlock]

Nope.

Belf or go home

[Cempa]

Goblin all the time every time .. that leap is golden .. Once you get used to it, you'll never go back.

[Envyronmental]

Well goblin has mobility and universally useful extra haste.
The big plus:
These finger tingling witch like casting animation is the most awesome for warlock imo! ������

[DingDongKing]

Nope.

Belf or go home

Legit, Belf for everything or bust.

[Champagne Supernova]

Gobbo for sure, at least in my opinion. Rocket jump is so useful in shadowlands zones with all the heights, can completely negate or take minimal falling damage. Plus the haste too.
