TheOfficialLion 4 Report post Posted December 1, 2016 Hey Guys, I am thinking about rolling a mage for the new realm and wonder what racial is the best. Humans and Undead are pretty strong as far as I know, but I did not play Vanilla so maybe you guys can help me out. Not 100% sure yet if I will play horde or alliance so maybe if you know please list more than one Greetings Lion 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patchi 4 Report post Posted December 1, 2016 Gnome is really the only strong alliance mage race. Both PvP and PvE. Human is good for PvE somewhat because of the rep bonus for grinding reputation, but that's about it. Undead is superior in PvP to Troll because of Will of the Forsaken, and Troll is superior in PvE because of Berzerking. Getting into raiding, usually alliance mages are able to pull more DPS than horde mages due to Paladin Salvation buff, but it's more a preference. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to bad against rogues in PvP, but yeah Gnome is really the only real viable race as Alliance. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamirH 3 Report post Posted January 9, 2017 Human / Gnome is a completely trivial difference (< 0.5% crit) so I'd go for Human for the rep bonus. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't make the pick based on that - you make the choice based on the racial traits. Escape Artist. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
