What race and faction should I play for my Rogue in Classic WoW?

See Subject.

Human is OP as fuck. +5 sword skill is extremely broken.

Male Undead Rogue

Undead for sure

Is male undead rogue the most stereotyped combo in wow?

Not a fan of the human options honestly, the faces, the hair and beards are all quite lacking IMHO.

I like their animations, though they seem a bit edgelord and overpopulated. So not sure personally.

>disney models
kill yourself

>Troll rogue named Dajuka
I tink it be obvious mon

what race do you like?
I have choice paralysis too about vanilla.
I'm between UD priest and Orc Warlock

I like all except human honestly. I like Dwarves because they've got cool beards and nice racials but at the same time, I don't like their finisher animations at all. Gnomes seem fun but also seem like a bit of a meme, I'm worried that the novelty would wear off and I'd no longer find them funny and endearing and be stuck with something I don't take seriously. Night Elves look tall, cool and awesome but I'm not a fan of their starting zone nor their relatively weak racials.

For Horde, I like Orc combat animations a lot, I like their stun resist, not the biggest fan of bloodfury and armour is 50/50 for them, I hate how giant shoulders look on them but rest is fine. Undead have great stealth animations, good combat animations and decent racials but I feel like they're the Blood Elves of the expansion and would be massively overpopulated which takes a lot of the charm away. Trolls look quite cool, have some cool lore too and I like their animations, but I worry about tusk clipping, plus their racials seem relatively weak.

So could go for any to be honest, if I were to narrow it down, I'd say Dwarf or Troll/Undead.

Troll so you can regen 5 health per second and there's nothing you can do about it

>Race
Undead
>Faction
Alliance

Dwarf.

I remember doing one of those "dubs chooses race, class, name" threads back in the day.

Those were fun.

Yeah but if I did that, people would say stupid shit like 'lol Blood elf DK'

Orc. 25% stun resit is broken + blood fury which increases attack power.

Stun Resist seems cool, but the blood fury seems really annoying for levelling and dungeons, the healing debuff really throws off your rhythm when eating/bandaging between pulls etc.

Orc rogue is better in 1v1 situations than any other race if you fight stunners. That stun res racial is seriously broken, and rogues cant trinket stuns

dorf, based+stoneform

And other people would say Gnome Warrior or Orc Rogue named Bezzledif.

>25% stun resit is broken

I don't think people realize just how broken this is.

Basically wins the match up vs a ret- crit stacked pally and other rogues. Everything else is ez.

The only problem is, orcs are fucking atrociously designed in classic.

Be a gnome warrior and be fucking impossible to target outside of tab targetting.

Undead/Orc for pvp
Play a real dps class for pve

Activision has it's own Bioware situation I guess.

female dwarf. be the bane of horde rogue's existence

>implying people won't have name plate addons
human or orc

Nobody targets with mouse, or if they do, they have your name somewhere where it's easy to click.

Thinking about either an undead shadowpriest or a troll shadowpriest for both PvE and PvP. Just how good is shadowguard compared to devouring plague?

Good in PvP. Annoying in PvE to constantly reapply.

female night elf

I'll make it simple man, if you click orc you make the choice to resist 25% of stuns on you for the next 2 years. There is no other choice, and if you play horde you get based shaman bros to give you windfury(the most fun buff OF ALL TIME).

Go Orc, be comfy in the barrens and go gank some fucking noobs in Redridge.

How often does it proc in PvE? Is the mana cost the issue?

Pandaran

Procs enough to last you 1 mob a time. So reapplying it every time is annoying AF.

Devouring PLague cost an ungodly amount of mana. It works exactly the same as lightning shield(has a 3 second internal cooldown on each proc). The good thing about Shadowguard is that is scales with spell power and has a chance to proc blackout. Meaning a rogue will open on you and there is a 10% chance he gets stunned and 100% fucks up his opener. Devouring plague cost like half your mana pool, it's powerful but imo troll is better(berserking isn't as good as wotf obviously for pvp).

>undead overpopulated
Go Orc then and counter rogue.

Orc Rogue for those nukes
Undead Warrior for the unholy crusader vibe
Troll Hunter Because fuck yeah bow racials
Tauren Druid because I need an herbalist and realised I don't like enhancement shamans

That makes sense. I'll make sure it's on a convenient keybind. I thought you meant in raids, didn't think about leveling.

Based on this, I think I would consider troll even for PvP. Rogues seem to be the hardest thing for shadowpriests to deal with, and having another ace up my sleeve would be good there. However, I would be trading off WoTF, which leaves me more open to things like the Gnomish MC ray, Mind Control, and Seduction. Do you think that that's really a big deal, considering how strong shadowpriests are 1v1? Or would that make me considerably weaker versus warlocks and anybody with engineering?

humans are highly overrated. just play what you want.

Well Spriest at their core already have a pretty anti caster kit in the first place, silence and dispelling two debuffs at a time off yourself is obnoxious for people to deal with.

The Undead racial is very strong vs those things obviously, there are items that damage you to help against seduction and such.

The Horde Priest races are much more balanced compared to Alliance, I want to play a priest but if my friends are playing Alliance I just won't because I don't like playing a dwarf and their racial is braindead overpowered.

Just weigh it up. Shadowguard works on ranged/melee attacks so it works vs Warrior/Paladin/Rogue/Hunter/Pets/Druids and the Undead racial works vs Lock/Warrior/Priest(If they get in melee range) and Engineering items with Long CDs.

I'd go troll because I've played Undead before and it would be something new, but both are strong. Priest is a class that can live after being at low perfect so 30% haste is nothing to laugh at, you can go ape shit with it considering Spriest heal based on the damage that they deal.

Undead on the other hand get an on demand mega dot heal(can be dispelled by Pally/Priest) and the low CD fear break/immune. Super strong racial obviously.

I dunno, flip a coin haha. Fem Troll has the best tits in the game so that's my choice.

Excellent breakdown, thank you for the basic gestalt. I probably will have to flip a coin!

Though I think troll spriest would be more unique, would be stronger in PvE, has some interesting PvP choices, and has a nice "witch doctor" flavor going about on it. I'll probably choose that.

Thanks!
