Which Faction/Race/Class to play on Nostalrius PvP

[Take888]

Hey guys,

i'm, planning to start on Nostalrius PvP. I have played WoW since release and stopped when MoP was released.
My Question is pretty simple. What do you think is the best faction/race/class for me when i priorize making PvP and PvE in the endcontent? Which classes are most missing here for Raids? Which faction is better in battlegrounds? I just wanna hear some of your opinions with your better experience right here. So dont post something like "play what you have most fun with" or something else. I played all of each role in retail. So every class could give me a lot of fun.

I will be happy about your productive opinions!

Class race combo is very specific on weather or not you want to PvP or PvE. Below are a few combos where race/class really matters

For PvE
Human melee classes get OP +5 skill to sword/mace
Dwarf Priests get fearWard
Taurens have more stam for tanking

For PvP
Gnome Escape artist
UD - WotF (UD priests having devouring plague is also pretty big imo)


There's probably more stuff to consider too.

In terms of rarity, it seems that druids are kinda lacking on alliance.

But srsly, play something fun, if you're good you'll find a guild in no time.

Meta PvE DPS: Warrior Rogue Mage Warlock

Meta PvE Tank: Warrior

Meta PvE Healer: Priest Paladin Shaman



Races:

Human: PvE Melee DPS, PvE Spirit Bonus (mostly for Priest)

Night Elf: Tanking (Dodge bonus)

Dwarf: Tanking (Armor Bonus), Fear Ward if Priest, PvE Hunter, PvP Poison/Bleed Cleanse

Gnome: PvE Caster DPS, PvP Root/Slow Cleanse

Orc: PvE Melee DPS, PvP Stun Resist

Tauren: Tanking (Health Bonus), PvP AoE Stun

Undead: PvP Fear Cleanse, Devouring Plague if Priest

Troll: PvE Caster DPS, PvE Hunter





Keep in mind that Fear Ward loses a lot of its value starting in AQ as fights with Fear are few and far between at that point.

don't roll pally, there are lots of them and very linear/boring personally. you turn into buffbots and 1 target healers which get outdone later on.
druids are stronger healers then pallies anyway (also more fun).

If you want to pvp, roll alliance because paladins and racials.
