So you want to roll up a new Alliance warrior, or maybe you're taking advantage of the new Race Change feature, and you want to make sure you have the best racials available? Well, this guide is here to help you determine which Allied race is best for your purposes, whether you want to Tank, DPS, or are just looking for the best race for PvP.
First up is Human. For DPS, humans have extra expertise with both swords and maces. Every Man for Himself can be handy for Tanking when facing enemies who CC you, but where it really shines is PvP, where it frees up a Trinket slot; considering how powerful the burst provided by trinkets is, this is a massive bonus for any PvP Warrior. Perception is also handy, although with the large number of stealth-improving talents and enchants, you typically won't be able to catch stealthers.
Next up is Dwarf. DPS Dwarves wielding maces will deal more damage thanks to their extra 5 expertise-more than humans get, but limited to maces only. For Tanking, Stoneform can be a great emergency button, giving a temporary armor boost and removing a large number of debuffs and DoTs. PvP Dwarves benefit from both of these things, gaining in both survivability and damage. Their Frost resistance can also help with mages and shaman.
Third to plate is gnome. Gnomes lack beneficial talents for DPS, and Escape Artist, while not useless for Tanking or PvP, is weak in comparison to other on-use racials such as Every Man or Stoneform. PvP gnomes also have an extra 2% arcane resistance, which is useful against mages.
Night Elves, like gnomes, lack any beneficial racials for DPSing, but as Tanks they excel, bringing an extra 2% avoidance to physical attacks and Nature spells. This also helps them in PvP, alongside their ability to Shadowmeld.
Finally we have Draenei. For DPS, Tanking, and PvP, Heroic Presence is a great boon, reducing the amount of Hit you and your party need to stack by 1%. Unfortunately it doesn't stack, so it is a waste if you are not the only Draenei around. Gift of the Naaru can be a decent emergency heal too, and is equally handy for Tanking, DPS, and PvP, although generally if a Tank needs to heal himself things are going badly. Their extra Shadow Resistance is also a nice bonus when facing Warlocks and Priests in PvP.
So what does all of this mean? Well, for DPS your best choice is Draenei. That extra 1% hit is the best DPS gain of the options, AND benefits your party as well. For Tanking, Night Elf's extra avoidance puts it at the top of the list. And for PvP, Human is pretty much unmatched thanks to Every Man for Himself.
