Warrior Horde Guide
On the flipside, Horde and Orcs, what most consider the deadliest warrior race at 70. Orcs possess an interesting racial ability called Bloodfury, increasing their attack power by a number of level x4 +2, equally 282 for 15 sec. at level 70, an undeniably handy increase. However, this also reduces healing effects by 50%, making it questionable in possibly dangerous situations, but useable with caution.
Additionally, and making them only more favored as a warrior race, Orc’s possess Hardiness, a 15% resistance to all stuns and knockout effects, what with warriors already anti-rogue arsenal, orcs stand as the greatest rogue slayers of all.
Taurens are the greatest tank race for all those wishing to focus on maximising potential as opposed to looks, a 5% increase to base health becoming amazingly useful at level 70 for any prospective tank. However, also to consider is war stomp, an almost strictly PvP ability that gives them a crucial short range AoE stun, highly valuable.
Trolls are something of the weaker choice, although I must admit they gain innumerable points for style and uniqueness, despite this their abilities are some of the weakest when considered as a Warrior. Berserking is of limited usefulness, somewhat like a weaker version of bloodfury, and the health regeneration is barely noticable.
Finally, Undead, another race with one great PvE ability and one great PvP to match. Will of the Forsaken is one of the greatest racials PvP wise, granting a free break from fear, sleep, and charm effects every 2 minutes, yet PvE wise it’s almost unused aside from specific boss fights.
Cannibalize grants undead great post-fight regeneration ability, making them exeedingly faster than other warrior races in long-term grinding. Finally, underwater breathing has helped in the odd-scenario of being rooted underwater by an enterprising alliance druid.
All in all I’d recommend you consider whether you value looks or maximized power first, and then take your pick of either Tauren for tanking or Gnome for PvP, although admittedly undead also have a strong case for being PvP champions as well.
