Best Race per Class?

[JCarrill0]

In your "opinion", what do you think the best class per race is and why? I do know there is not "BEST PER CLASS" honestly, but I am wanting opinions. I also know I'll probably have people start up "Gnome is the master race!" post, so I hope that is left at a minimum. I just want honest opinions based on Race/Racial Abilities.

I have played alliance mostly. I only played Human Paladin in Vanilla back in retail. I have played many classes and races since Vanilla retail, but not all to 60 on when it comes to Vanilla (private servers).

I hear Tauren Warriors are great for Tanking tagged with Alch/Herb based on racial abilities, plus Dwarf Priest just because they have Far Ward, so I am curious to know more based on races for each class. "Try" to stick with one race for each class.

Troll warriors are the best for tanking, the health regen is to strong to ignore.

all good, but...
in pvp i think its a tie between gnome and dwarf for rogue.
also orc and tauren shamans tie for PvP. imo.
and why is the undead warlock better in PvE ??
i hope its not about that 5 intellect more than the orc. cause the orc has bloodrage and pet bonus.
(or maybe bloodrage back then was just for AP? i dunno)

As foretold in the first post and the hallowed Codex of Cogs these maxims need to be proclaimed far and wide. The choice is clearcut and indisputable.

"...and lo High Tinker Gorki did herald the great R&D boom of his term at the High Seat of the Technocratic Republic with the words "Gnomes are the master race..."

Codex of Cogs: Ex Gnomicron 5 11:12

"...an operational Mark III Battle Chicken in the lab is worth two in the field", observed Tinker Teebo to the assembled crowd of interested buyers. "The twin GrindWorx 9000XT gnomotronic steam engines provide 40% increased plucking power over the Mark II." The goblin spluttered in dismay as the feet of his hapless comrade demonstrating his latest rocket boot design caught fire before sending him toppling over the obstacles arrayed across the Khaz Modan Proving Grounds. Teebo giggled and said, "rigorous scientific testing agrees...go gnome or go home!..."

Codex of Cogs: Schemata 7 3:9

That said, I feel that dwarves are pretty underated for PvP outside of priests and paladins. Less so with hunters but there don't seem to be many dwarf rogues. There's a fair bit of scope for Alliance melee classes in particular for PvP as Perception and increased sword/mace skill is decent, similarly Shadowmeld and increase dodge alongwith Stoneform and Escape Artist.

People who choose their race based on racial profit are dumb.
I never played ud, cow or troll for mains. Why?
because i like boots to be closed:-)

Dwarf master race. Orc is a close second.
