A little update to address some common comments
-The +5 Weapon skill did not give 3% extra hit, though it seems to do that a lot on private servers. I'll have more information on that below*1.
-The Horde did have Tremor totem with shamans in vanilla wow. Fear Ward was just better as vanilla tremor totem did not work like it does today and was unreliable*2.
-Trolls did make a good tank class, better than Taurens even*3.
-Forgot to mention in the video, but on Horde side Trolls made the best Priests and Rogues*4.
-Since I didnt go over PvP racials very much, Dwarfs and Orcs both had very good pvp racials*5.
-I will have more information on all these points as replies to this comment.
*1 - From a Classic WoW Dev Blue post us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/bug-hit-tables/185675/34
"There is some code in 1.12 that explicitly adds a modifier that causes the first 1% of +hit gained from talents or gear to be ignored against monsters with more than 10 Defense Skill above the attacking player’s Weapon Skill.
This means that the so-called “hit cap” is in effect 9% rather than 8% for a player with 300 Weapon Skill fighting a level 63 monster with a Defense Skill of 315. With a Weapon Skill of 305, such as from Sword Specialization (Humans) or Axe Specialization (Orcs), this hit modifier is no longer in place against +3 level monsters, provided that you are using the appropriate weapon type to gain the passive bonus. Needless to say, this makes +Weapon Skill very good against raid-level monsters.
This code is already fully present in the WoW Classic client, and this will continue to function exactly as it did in the original game."
It looks like you get at least 1% hit chance with +5 weapon skills. I think I heard the +15 thing in an interview or something since I cant find a source on that, so I could very well be wrong about what I said in the video. Its not 3%, but if its 1 % then thats still worth talking about in relation to how good weapon skills are for ranged weapons.
So with this new info, all the classes stay on the list, but I'd move up troll hunters on the list because they do have a +5 Bow racial. Making them even more of the best hunter class. The dwarfs do have a +5 in guns but there were no BiS guns in classic. All the best ranged weapons were Crossbows, so not even trolls get that much benefit.
Humans and Orcs are even BETTER than described in the video if they get a +1% hit in addition to the glancing blow stuff.
And when looking for a source on the +3% hit chance from weapon skills, all I could find was contradicting evidence, and private server sources. Basically private servers gave weapon skills a +3% hit chance based on what was probably incomplete data. And then it became a norm for vanilla private servers to just give a +3% hit chance to weapon skills.
*2 - Tremor totem was in vanilla wow, but it was nothing like the tremor totem we have in live. Vanilla tremor totem ticked every 4 seconds, could not be used while feared like you can use it today, had a short 20 yrd range, and only worked on party members. It also didnt guarantee a fear removal on all party members when it ticked. And since fear made you run, it was very common for people to be feared out of the tremor totems short range anyway.
The reason fear ward was better, was because it could be placed on high value targets and prevent the fear from every happening. If a tank was feared and ran away from the boss, they'd be hit in the back and could die to that before a tremor totem de-feared them. Most healers played at max range, and didnt want to be feared even further away. Preventing the fear from every happening also meant not having any of your abilities interrupted or getting a tremor totem dispell at the end of a 3 second long fear. Fear ward was just better in almost every way.
3* - Troll tanks were the only class combo that could reliably get the max berserking haste from the racial, and tank threat was often more important than defenses anyway. Taurens did have an extra 2 yard range because of their larger hit box which gives them some extra brownie points as far as chasing people down goes. And as someone pointed out, there are no good tanking axes until phase 3 so trolls might actually be the best PVE race for Horde.
*4 - Rogues could not use axes in vanilla wow so the axe racial was useless to them. So Troll was the go-to pve race for rogues. Trolls also had the only racial that gave healing priest any kind of pve advantage, But Undead priests had Devouring Plague which was a neat damaging ability. It generally cost to much mana to use so it wasnt a good healing racial at all (since mana is super important to healers for all you non healers reading this) but if you are dead set on shadow priest then undead is a fun alternative, but even then trolls might still be better because DP also takes up a debuff slot which your raid might not have available for you to even use.
*5 - Dwarf and Orc PvP Racials were really good in pvp. For a dwarf rogue, stoneform could allow you to clear dots to re-stealth better than any other race giving them a big advantage. The 25% stun reduce racial that orcs have is so good blizzard nerfed it pretty much every expansions after vanilla wow. So in classic you get to experience it in its most broken form. Its so good in fact that rogues are more likely to ignore Orc players just because of the racial. Also shadowmeld could not be used in combat in vanilla wow so it was a pretty situational racial ability. It did have a 2ndary passive effect of making a druids and rogues stealth a little bit better, so nelfs could be the most stealthy race in the game. But thats not a huge deal compared to the much better human and dwarf racials.
Best warrior race is night elf, because they move faster while dead, and you’re gonna spend a LOT of your leveling time dead as a warrior
When I first started I had no idea about anything, and arbitrarily made a NE Warrior for my first character that I took to 60 and beyond.
I didn't realize other races had to do the run of shame for quite a while into it. :D
true but when you get to level 60 and you're doing raids/dungeons where you don't plan on dying as much, that racial is now useless
I’m hurt by this, but also agree
Rescultir yeah and you have to wait for the whole raid to get there anyway so you’re just waiting there for everyone else
Warrior really didn’t seem all that hard to level I think it’s overblown
Basically: don't roll night elf?
Got it.
I'm rolling nelf for the jumping animation. =)
I front flipped over a dwarf today. Worth it.
The value of Shadowmeld is really understated here. Shadowmeld is fantastic.
@@oriondesautels7966 afk while questing - shadowmeld.... getting ganked? shadowmeld.... camping flag room in warsong? shadowmeld... I don't play Alliance, but yeah shadowmeld is a very good ability.
NE are the best hunters.
Shadowmeld is amazing with a cat, highest base agi, bow skill, and dodge
well the thing with rogues is they get 5 weapon skill from their talents for swords daggers etc and you can get maladeth to hit 309 sword skill so taking a nightelf with its higher base agility as a rogue isn't bad at all
Orcs are best pve warlocks
Me: makes undead warlock cause looks really cool
warlocks don't benefit from crit until wotlk. Well, their dots don't crit until cata at least.
Actually Undead warlock is best than orc warlock. In classic there are 2 warlock builds. One of them (Demonic Sacrifice / Ruin) uses classic.wowhead.com/spell=18788/demonic-sacrifice which means you won't be using your pet. The other build (Shadow Mastery / Ruin) is used to give the main tank the imp stamina buff, which means he will have the imp in phase and not attacking at all, so the pet damage is useless. Pick undead because of will of the forsaken in order to get rid of some fears in the raids.
TLDR: Pick whatever you like the most. The difference is not much.
@@blueskadoo1402 ?? you wan't the crit for shadowbolt not for the dots.
Orc's 25% stun resistance is INVALUABLE
@@blueskadoo1402 i played wotlk private server for 5 years, lock's dots are crit just fine
I have a tier list of all the race/class combos in the video description if you want to see how how other race/class combos compare to what was in the video.
Thanks
Troll hunter is missing from that list but I assume its tier a with the other trolls
hey hirumared, few things tomthis video. the troll racial can appearently go to 43% speed (people have tested it and it wasnt a bug, the tooltip has been wrong since vanilla or something ) also the 5 wep skill for trolls and dwarfs appearently give 3% hit chance. other than that great video as always :D
What about the Night Elf Mohawk?
T, there's no such thing as a Night Elf Mohawk.
@@Fugitive292 SHUDDUP FOOL
@@neltharion7530 Like I was saying...
@@Fugitive292 that's where you're wrong
and tc there can only be one night elf Mohawk
@@Fugitive292 it was a grenade.
For the average player, most of these differences shouldn't be enough to dissuade you from picking a race-class combo you like. If you're trying to top meters in raids or speedrun them, maybe, but otherwise it's more important to run a combo that you enjoy for a 200hr + game. The raids in Classic only start getting hard with AQ and Nax, and even then they are entirely doable with sub-optimal race/class combos.
The one notable exception is the dwarf priest's fear ward. Because without it, the Alliance has very little in the way of countering bosses with fear (horde have shaman tremor totems). So a raid will want at least a few dwarf priests. Though amusingly, a perfectly optimized group would probably have a mix of dwarf and human priests, since humans benefit from their 5% bonus spirit, improving mana regen and with a certain talent increasing healing power by a smidge. So humans technically outperform dwarves in all fights that do not involve fear, but only by a small margin.
Also, the racials overall impact is probably better felt in pvp then pve, since opposing players will always be a greater threat then a raid boss who operates as a static challenge. So while human warriors are the strongest in pve, they are actually the weakest in pvp since those weapon skill racials have no effect on players, perception is incredibly situational, and all the other alliance races have better pvp racials (nelf shadowmeld, dwarf stoneform, and gnome escape artist).
Agreed, thats why im going UD warrior, i prefer the animations, and since ive already done these raids back in the old vanilla. Theres no reason FOR ME to try and hardcore it, so i go with what i prefer lookin at more ^^
For the average player it still should unless you are actively choosing to suck...
@@godlygamer911 except all it does is give you an edge, theres no race that activly gives you an disadvantage you are just an par with everyone else, unless you pick Orc
You see, where the problem lies is when trying to find groups for raids as most people are going to want to run them as efficiently as possible so don't expect to get into many good groups if you're not running and optimal setup
Though I completely agree, run what you like
People talk about classic like it's the hardest games of all... Classic is easy asfc#&k.. You don't need an optimal setup for killing an boss or to get part in good groups. Just Play what you want like the op said.
*Gnomes are the best warlocks and mages in the game*
*Me making my human warlock and mage:* That sign can't stop me because I can't read!
Seriously, I don't care how powerful a dps increase they get, I am not playing a gnome
The best part about being a gnome is escape artist....it doesnt share a cooldown with pvp trinket.
Honestly, role playing is so much more important, so i'm with you on this :D
I made a human mage bc i just like it more, i dont want to be gnome xD I dont need to min max like gnome tryhards, i'll just enjoy the game. xD
Undead Lock > Gnome lock in pvp
Gnomes are the best race in the Alliance, even in the current version of WoW.
Gnomes rule.
I was just about to look for something like this, and then you've made a video for it! Perfect timing.
I think a video on class/ profession combinations would be as popular as this one!
Best video info on Race/Class combos yet!!
Taurens war stomp and 5% hp in group PvP is insanely useful. 1 heal interrupt or stopping a flag click will change the tides of the game BIG time
apart from horde lose against premades and cause blizzard to stop pvp xrealms on discord kek lulw
Awesome video, I loved your in-depth explanation for Human Rogue which made my mind up on re-rolling for the passive race bonus
Rogues for pve where weapon skill matters usually go combat which already have +5 weapon skill to swords daggers and fist weapons baked in so play what you want
i would like see such video for every expansion, just to hear the News and infos about How they were balancing races durning expansions and their racials
Yes would be cool to see this for BFA

Undead priests and rogues on August 27: cool story, bro!
Troll Shadow Priest.
-Berserking helps you get off fast heals from low hp or mana burn foes
-Shadowguard procs Blackout stun, S weaving and VE, completely wrecking a rogue's opening and has a bomb spell coefficient
-Hex of weakness reducing healing in 1v1
-Beast slaying through Horde zones and Stranglethorn Vietnam
lol stranglethorn vietnam, perfect way of describing that place
Long life to da witchdocta
Best in depth classic wow race/class vid I seen yet
The NE hunter was a pretty solid PvP choice since you could use shadowmeld to stealth and then use a cat pet to stealth with you for ambushes or pet scouting in AB. Also there was a time you could use aimed shot and it wouldn't break stealth until it actually fired but I'm pretty sure they fixed that by 1.12.
Night Elf Hunter was a nice combo that I played in vanilla. During shadowmeld you could get a full aimed shot cast off before you would be revealed which was amazing for guarding stables in AB. An enemy who started capping the flag would eat an aimed shot, multi shot, and auto shot in quick succession before being able to react which was an amazing way to start a fight.
I don't know if it would make it in the list, but back in the day I had a gnome rogue... nobody could actually find it. Size matters LMAO
Orko Edukado gnomes were an awesome option for rogues in classic. Escape artist and combos with engineering. Damn!
I had a gnome rogue as well. The small size actually did have a noticeable advantage that doesn't show on the stats sheet, especially in a chaotic battleground pvp situation.
@@aGuyNamedEr1c not really i have a guildy that cant beat me in a duel im full t2 rogue human hes a gnome rogue he uses blinds i dont i never use blinds i dont care for it all i do is either use perception and open on him or when he tells me not to use it i let him open on me i use vanish into a cheap shot pop adrenaline rush blade flurry and evasion i still win even when he uses blinds hes not shit far from it hes destroyed a r14 rogue every time he tries ganking in ironforge im r11 doesnt mean much but gives you pvp experience i never once changed to dagger spec for pvp and still smashed people in pve combo sword spec toe to toe with wars without opening on them and i consider my self shit at pvp heck i only have 91 average parse in bwl because of slow boss kills with guild but my point is gnomes are only good for capping flags with that nogginfogger potion or what ever its called
@@silverback5814 Weird flex but okay
I feel orc enhancement shaman should have gotten mentioned as the axe skill increase really matters for not missing out on a windfury proc, which probably matters more for them than any other melee. Not to mention the ap bonus and stun resist is really huge for a shaman since they have lower armor than warriors.
Where is the Troll hunter in the Tier list in the description?
Edit: thanks for fixing it hiru
yah I forgot, made sure to add them to S tier
Would've loved to have heard your thoughts on the Tauren melee reach and hitbox "racial" in conjunction with leeway, even just as an honorable mention or an aside. Being able to execute someone from ~12 yards is certainly powerful :)
CouchPotato252 people forget that you can also hit Tauren from that far away. Their larger model makes their hit box larger, and that worked negatively for them in certain situations as well.
Bug, not a feature.
it's ok to smirk it’s not a bug anymore blizzard has said so
@CouchPotato252 Tauren shammys were also powerful because of this - for long range WF's and Stormstrike into Earth shock. And also because War Stomp into lightning combo is amazing.
That's not a class + race combo really its uniform across all classes.
Does ranged weapons mastery (like dwarves and trolls) change anything for hunter compared to the melee masteries ?
I really liked this video, because it looks more like your classic videos from 1-2 years ago.
Two other reasons for human tanks warriors. Thunderfury and Quel'serrar, the two best tanking weapons in the game, are swords.
moparman2nd yeah, except you aren’t going to get one so it’s a bad idea to pick a race around it
Grim Not like there aren't other great swords in game.
Pre-BIS for common folks who dont get ironfoe is the Dal'Rend sword set.
Brutality Blade is the best One-Hand sword in Molten core.
BRE is one of the best overall 2h swords in the game and drops from Rag, because of it's armor ignoring effect it even outclasses the KT drop mace 'Might of Menethil' in a lot of scenarios!
Obsidian Blade is a sword that drops frequently on non-flamewalker MC bosses and gives a lot of str and +8 to 2h swords.
BWL has two good axes with the trash drop epic axe and Cho'rush from Nefarian, HOWEVER, both of them can be outclasses by the 1h tanking sword from Broodlord, which gives defense on top of being a good 1h overall.
Can't say too much about AQ since that's the raid I'm least experienced in, HOWEVER:
Naxxramas, the final raid dropping the best loot in the game, HEAVILY favours swords.
>Iblis, from Razuvious is an insane offhand weapon
>Widow's Remorse from Faerlina is a great tanking sword
Up until there, we have the axe from Noth as a good option to balance things out
But KT doesn't drop a good axe. Instead he drops these two SWORDS:
>Gressil, the best DPS mainhand for rogues and warriors
>The Hungering Cold the best tanking mainhand and an excellent offhand for DPS.
This is one of the many reasons, along with Paladin blessings being insane, why alliance has an easier time towards the end of vanilla.
To clarify: By 'best tanking mainhand' I mean apart from TF of course
As a mage main, and former raid class leader, and tactician If ANYONE brought thunderfury to a raid they get booted and banned until reset. The second time they get booted from the guild.
@@iamsobanned why?
Remember Troll Priest have Shadowguard that can proc Blackout and VE and they have Hex of Weakness that gives 20% reduced healing. I know it's not really good in PVE, but in PVP they are super strong.
Good timing with this video. I was wondering what races are the best for some classes.
Nightelf Hunter is also good because of the Feign Death + Shadowmeld combo.
In Vanilla, that dodge racial for nightelves was counterproductive for tanks. When tanking raid content, rage generation was huge for maintaining threat. If you have raid geared rogues or hunters, and you want them to do anything other than auto-attack, the tank has to go balls out generating threat. That nightelf dodging attacks helped the healers mana pool, but he generated no rage when he dodged. Meaning his threat generation fell off a bit and the rogues/hunters then had to self gimp their damage output or risk making the boss turn around and face the raid.
Gnome warrior with access to the different elemental absorption potions and fap potion is the craziest mage killer I’ve seen
Here b4 Stone cold gold gets a hard on bc human warriors are so high on the list.
it should be fire mage #1 and dagger #2
Still not StoneColdGold :(
I'm going to have to try some of these.
I feel like you missed out on orc rouge cause they benefit the most from the blood fury do they not?
This is a fantastic video. PLEASE make a new one including the new Allied races!!!!!!!
The fact that there are no good 1hand tanking axes until phase 3 removes orc tanks advantage of axe specialization
But the best 1h dps weapon p1 is an axe, so still holds true for dps.
And then everything is a sword and the fact if you get thunderfury also a sword you wouldn't be using that axe anyways
this info should really be taken with a grain of salt. yeah some of this races might be best for min\maxing but if you hate your characters animations and how gear looks on them, you aren't really gonna be too enthusiastic to level your char. great vid per usual!
And some of it completely wrong
Why look at your character when you got meters you can watch?
yo, what about your recently higher upload activity? You're hyped for vanilla? :P
You forgot a detail about +5 Weapon Skill racials for Warrior Tanks.
Weapon skill for tanks also increases your chance to Hit and not get Parried thus greatly helping threat gen in a class that often didn't have a lot of gear that increased threat. On pulls it meant you could more reliably land your opening skills. And because parries back then increased attack speed for the following attacks (That included bosses parrying then throttling tanks), it meant that WS also reduced boss damage, particularly burst damage.
Weapon skill for tanks was really strong as a result.
I mean I waited for a priest the entire video and oh man you never disappoint!
Please tell me the name of the track that you played right before the end card. I've been trying to find it for YEARS. The very first WoW song I ever heard but for some reason I could never find it.

The pet damage on orc passive can result in more dmg in certain fights that last a long time with the pet having s high up time and with good micro by the hunter in theory
For what? MC? Cause after that pet scaling is so bad that 5% is unnoticeable.
I expected human holy priest somewhere on the list at like 8 or 9. Human spirit is insane as holy increasing your SP and making you almost unoomable
Tank troll... Bezerking at low hps for more tps as their going to be dropping to make max use
Troll Warrior is 100% better for PvE than Tauren.
Kyle Buckner Is this for real?
@@zkatom3773 maybe 50%. The stam bonus is essentially useless, but War Stomp is actually great in a pinch to save taking dmg or as an interrupt, but Berserking is just too good.
Plus for dps Warrior, Tauren has nothing to help its case, whereas Berserking is fantastic for Fury.
Do you have to pay for wow classic like expansion or it will automatically update if you have the game already?
No expansion cost. If you are subscribed it is free. You download it. Then choose it on the drop down.
I’m getting world of warcraft soon so what should I do to get good fast?

You're missing out on the weaponskill bonus of the +5 for trolls and dwarves.
From what I've seen and remember, it's a several point difference of hit needed
This ^^
Yes, it is relevant. But neither bow or gun is ultimately BiS. There are some bows you will use for a long time though. Gun skill is pretty much useless. Berserking is a bigger impact. Trolls are definitely highest dps hunter. Night elf is better on alliance though.
@@chazdomingo475 its 3% hit but yeah night elf means what 9 total more agility? While I would roll night elf because vanilla dwarf models suck the dwarf racial stone form is actually really good as a racial defensive. If you do roll alliance and plan on pvping dwarf is king.
@@chazdomingo475 Trolls with berserking is definitely a bonus, plus the damage to beasts, but having a 3% hit bonus means that you can focus on more AP/AGI gear and trinkets vs hit specific trinkets. If you're dipping into survival/MM then you are now down to 3% hit needed. While not as important later on, its significant in being able to put out consistant dps when you're just fresh 60. I'm just saying that I feel that troll and dwarf hunter specifically should be rated higher, as well as troll being higher than dwarf due to the best ranged weapons bows. The last good gun is Ouro's gun in AQ.

Ist Nightelf Druid a good choice?
I am just so unsure which Alliance Race to pick for it :s
They are in fact the best alliance race for druids!
@@AmiiChaan Yeah you can pick Nightelf druid but I personally am going to play a NE druid, I just prefer the look better.
Hmm what are other race priest racial? Does undead have one or is it Alliance only?
I always enjoyed my Dwarf / Rogue combo. Stoneform was quite nice in pvp vs other rogues, warriors, hunters and shadow priests. It was still useful in pve as many mobs used bleed or poison mechanics while disease was less common iirc. Then their treasure finding was just fun to find chests inside caves / dungeons that were random spawns, many times seeing it before even thinking about entering said area. The only negative to find treasure was you had to cycle between it and any gathering profession or miss things.
Very informative and helpful, but you should try and end up making 2 more videos similar to this one, except faction focused.
A Horde Race/Class video and an alliance Race/Class video
I want a human mage but my min max side tells me to go gnome... how should I decide
Intellect helped a tiny bit in Vanilla, but it's pretty minimal compared to Strength and Agility adding Attack Power. The difference is there, but it's pretty insignificant in practice.
Tauren is bretty good as warrior because in classic he can hit mele dps from bigger distance than the other races.
Orc Hunter is also good for marksman cuz of 25% chance to avoid being stunned.
Came across your wow channel by complete accident. Wonder what yugi would do in classic wow monkaW
Wait so if you want super high warlock dps, I have to play alliance for gnome?
Not really, expansive mind only gives you like 1% crit at high gear levels.
In my opinion, Orc is great for any of the classes it can simply because of hardiness. That bonus 25% to resist is amazing. Every character has a base 5% to resist stun, so Orcs actually have 30% resistance. Most of the classes have some form of stun in Classic, it's more than the number that have access to a fear, charm, or sleep effect. Thus in my opinion hardiness is overall more useful and can make the difference even though it is a passive RNG, the chance to resist nearly 1/3 of all incoming stunts is powerful.
"alliance has an edge in raiding, becuase they have fear ward available to them and the horde does not"
You have that because we have shamans with tremor totems. Tremor totems are also better because they arent single target. Its just how blizz balanced that out.
I would prob make an argument that due to the power of human warriors and rogues as well as gnome casters, that's why they have an edge, not fear ward lmao
And mostly salv literally it's because of salv and the other buffs pallies bring and also bring a very efficient healer Tbh tremor if you time it correctly works better then fear ward since you can time it so when it ticks it ticks from the fear comes out basically nullifying fear for 5 people Ata time instead of 1
Druid, warlock, rogue 🔥
Going to play a Troll Warrior, I think. I have always liked the Trolls but never really mained one before
get ready to never enjoy shoes again
Is a berserking warrior troll dps viable?
Do you specialise in healing or damage for dwarf priest
If you are priest in vanilla that means you gonna be a healer
It'll be weird playing a rogue with swords
As for the first three I picked a human warrior tank since tank is all a warrior can be end game and for all the other reasons that you said. Then I picked gnome lock for the reasons that you said plus I've heard that lock was the highest DPS spec in WoW. On the horde side I created a troll hunter which I heard somewhere was good now I have more reasons. I was going to make a tauren shammy cause it seemed to fit with their nature and I don't want to have doubles of classes if I can help it.
need a video like this for bfa
Troll tank > tauren tank. As you say threat is an issue and troll racial helps with that. It is better then orc tank to since orc racials are useless for the tank. You will be using a sword most likely and racial reducing healing taken is awful for a tank. Troll one gives you more damage plus bonus damage on some bosses that are considered beast.
Irrelevant after you aquire some gear. You switch to fury/prot. I'd take the 5% total health. The haste doesn't do much, where as 5% total health can be difference between a wipe or kill.
@@stewpottv6622 5% total health is pretty miniscule vs 30% increased attack speed. like yours saying roughly 200-250 HP is worth more AS that gives you insane threat generation
@@dargurt healers wont Risk having you on low hp just so you can have your haste buff
@@dargurtYea looking into - might've been biased because i didn't want all characters to be orc - Orc/Troll are best. Since WPvP will be a masive part of my experience and playtime, I've switched to orc. Feel like troll could be crazy good for both dps and tanking. Trash tier for pvp tho.
Dude. Trolls have Regeneration, that sweet 10% combat health regen makes them the BEST tanks evar.
You forgot to mention the added melee range with Tauren because they have a larger hitbox
7:20 You lost me there Hiru... For Pure DPS 100% Troll...
But man That will of the Forsaken comes in SO HANDY when fighting warlock, and especially shadow priests....
It's especially fun when a warrior fears you and thinks he has 8sec to bandage, go out for a charge, ect.... Then u pop that baddy hit em with the Break Fear>>nova>>CoC>>Fireblast>>cold snap>> nova>>cone of cold>> fireblast>> AE to death
💙
What about nightelf Rouge or nightelf druid. Cant they user their racial to enter Stealth Mid combat??
Now you will you witness the full power of Millhouse Manastorm
Undead Shadow Priest was godly at PvP in vanilla. 20 sec Will and they got a second shadow DOT as their racial spell.
Great content boi
What about Troll priest? There is private server footage that the reflective shadow shields are amazing, stack up shadow invulnerabilty quick and hit as hard as shadow word pain. Its amazing for pvp shadowpriest
Edge master hand guards are the only things I can think of offhand that had big weapon skill bonuses but it wasn’t on any ranged. They were amazing tho
Great video! However, when your'e stating that you will be looking racials more from PVE side and choosing undead rogue over orc, it's quite insane. When you talk about UD rogue your'e emphasizing WOF - orc has Bloodfury and Hardiness (+25 Stun resistance). So I can't agree with this at all.
Yeah, I feel he should have specified when he was talking about pvp/pve. Troll may be king on horde for pure dps in pve, but their pvp racials are quite weak compared to the other races of the horde.
+5 on range weapon skill gives you a bonus of 3% hit against level 63 Mobs (this includes Bosses). That's why trolls are considered the best PvE hunters up to late BWL. Beserking is also very nice.
did you forget about tremor totem?
do like most and roll blood elf... wait nvm this isn't TBC or later is it?
just a curious question, is melee hunter actually playable?
In the current wow certainly. In vanilla and classic not really.
You should do a duo leveling class list
At 8:34, do you mean -70% ie 30%, or 70% ie -30%
*Priests are only allowed to be dwarf*
Me: Makes Human Priest
Humans get a 5% spirit bonus, so as long as you have enough dwarves for fear ward, it is the best choice.
human is a great choice. like said before raids will be filled with dwarf priest.
so no gnome rogue ?
I mean yes expensive mind is useless but the escape artist with sprint and evasion and that you have 20 % dodge chance is good
Of course the PRIEST MAIN put priest at #1 smh. Jk cheesing raid fights is pretty damn good makes me rethink rolling horde
Don't. Horde priests have far superior racials. Dwarf priests are only good on alliance side since they lack shamans and therefore tremor totems. A horde raid would laugh at fear ward. They didn't need it then, and they don't need it now. And consequently horde priests are free to do other things, like healing or being the best damn shadow priests in the game, no competition.
I think the ability to straight trivialize certain fights is extremely powerful. I agree that horde racials are wayyy more consistent but they're only MAYBE above average compared to fear ward. If you'd ask me what I'd like to take to raid night, I'd still take Horde priest racials for sure.
Taking that Troll for sure tho
Is the human warrior still in wow battle for Azeroth
Hmm. Would have thought Night Elves would get a mention in rogues for their agility, since that's important to that class.
Tbh I feel like a lot of the great advantages many of the racials gave didn't hit that high problem point until BC. A lot of the bc talents took some of the class race combos from being slightly better to impossibly frustrating.
BC holy priest had a talent where after suffering a critical attack you could not be crit again for 6 seconds from any damage source. Combine that with stoneform, desperate prayer (with a much lower cd), and the new dwarf racial chastise, and rogues were at most cc/lockout annoyances with no chance of killing you.
#9. I think Taurens also has slightly longer melee range than other races
1:48 I think Undead was/its good as warrior, because you can use your "Will of the Forsaken" against fear/cham/sleep, and save your "Berserker Rage" for other CC`s and also the cannibalize its very usefeul. what do you guys think ??
Honestly Vanilla content is easy enough that you should just play what you want and enjoy yourself. The only class/race combo that people will grief you over not choosing is the dwarf priest
im 9 months late but im pretty sure they share cds.
IMO Tauren Hunters are great, they're overlooked a lot because of the bigger dead zone however...
Tauren Hunters will have access to the racial ability War Stomp which will Stun up to 5 enemies around you for 2 seconds and can be useful to peel for other players or yourself. It will also give you a 2-second window to Feign Death and place a Freezing Trap on your target. Since you can't place traps in combat in Classic, this is very useful. It also allows you to save your Scatter Shot which is usually what hunters will use before feign/trapping.
I agree, it is useful, but I still think it's not as good as Orc Hardiness in general. A hunter's worst nightmare is being stunlocked.
Also, the dead zone is not bigger, it's just moved. The thing is, it makes you easier to hit from farther range. And that's the worst part about it.
