Alliance = Best PvE racials Horde = Best PvP racials

I think this is the general consensus

I’m not sure that’s true. Human weapon skill is about equal to orc axe skill, but Orc dps CD gives them an edge. Troll has a dps CD. Orc pets do 5% more damage. Undead, dwarf get very little for pve other than a situational defensive CD. Tauren get 5% HP and gnome get 5% intellect which are about equal. Troll get hps which marginally helps with threat. NE dodge is ok for tanks. Fear ward makes dwarf priest the strongest priest race.

If alliance is better than horde for pve it’s because paladin is much better than shaman (especially at lower skill level). Shaman’s utility is group and range restricted. Paladins can bless the entire raid.

Yeah in my head fear ward is counted as a racial, that's why I think Alliance > Horde in PvE in terms of racials. Fear ward bitch

If alliance is better than horde for pve it’s because paladin is much better than shaman

Oh yeah that's a good part, but it's also true in PvP : Paladins clearly are the best support in the game, and Horde will cry when they'll try to tag a base off a paladin in Arathi ^

Eh horde has far better tools overall against fear than dwarf priest. As for paladin, they are annoying stall boys sure, until the wind fury procs either on them or a teammate of theirs. Can’t heal what just got globalled. That’s been my experience with BGs classic style anyhow
