1. Human
2. Dark Iron Dwarf
3. Dwarf

The Human racial bonus ( Will to Survive) is a great way to getout of stuns. If you think you will be the focus target versus teams withmultiple stuns, this race allows you to play Relentless. This willhelp increase your overall survivability. It is also important to note thatHumans also have The Human Spirit. This increases your secondary stats(Haste, Critical Strike, Mastery, Versatility). This is another beneficialreason to play Human.

The Dark Iron Dwarf racial bonus ( Fireblood) removes all bleeds,poisons, magical, and curse debuffs and increases your primary stat by 750 andan additional 250 for each effect removed. This is a great racial to usedefensively. However, you can use this to remove debuffs right before you useyour burst rotation to increase your primary stat.

The Dwarf racial bonus ( Stoneform) removes Poison, Disease, Magic,and bleed effects. In addition to this, it reduces all Physical damage taken by10%. This racial can make a large impact versus teams that have multiple Bleedor Magical damage over time abilities. It is also important to note that thisracial lines up with the cooldown from Maledict trinkets and can be usedto remove the absorption that is placed on you from Maledict. Another exampleis removing bleeds versus Assassination Rogues or Feral Druids that are focusing you. Thiswill significantly slow down the damage being dealt to you.

1. Tauren
2. Blood Elf
3. Zandalari Troll

The Tauren racial bonus ( War Stomp) provides an additionalway to interrupt or setup crowd control on an enemy player. For example, if youare playing with a Survival Hunter, you can use War Stompand follow up with your own crowd control or the Hunter can use their Freezing Trap. The additional health from Endurance will alsohelp with your survivability.

The Blood Elf racial bonus ( Arcane Torrent) has multiple effects.The primary use for this ability is that it removes 1 beneficial effect fromall enemies in range. This is great for removing abilities such as Blessing of Protection from Paladins or Soul of the Forest from Restoration Druids.The other effect is that it restores resourcesbased on what specialization you are.

The Zandalari Troll racial bonus ( Regeneratin') channels a heal onyou until you are at 100% health or get damaged. This racial is particularlygood for Paladins, because you can use it while Divine Shield is active.If you are the primary focus, you can use Divine Shield, then Regeneratin’,and be at full health when it expires. Zandalari Trolls also give you the abilityto choose a passive Loa. Because Critical Strike is a veryimportant stat to have, Embrace of Pa'ku is the best Loa to choose.
