In our previous article, we’ve shared the best WoW Classic Race: Alliance tips with you.

Today we will continue to bring the best WoW classic race: horde guide to you. BTW, if you need to buy WoW classic gold online, then Raiditem will be the nice choice. 

ORCS
Orcs can be hunters, rogues, shamans, warlocks and warriors. They have Axe Specialization, which increases skill in one and two-handed axes by 5; Blood Fury, a powerful melee damage cooldown that also reduces healing effects cast on the orc while it’s active; Command, which increases damage done by warlock and hunter pets by 5%; and Hardiness, an extra 25% resistance to stun.

The Blood Fury cooldown makes Orcs a popular choice for melee classes, particularly in PvP where Hardiness also shines. Warriors will find orcs to be an especially good choice, thanks to the combination of axe skill and Blood Fury. Command makes orcs a solid option for hunters, assuming they keep their pets alive, and somewhat less so for warlocks – who don’t always use a pet at max level.

TAUREN

Tauren can be druids, hunters, shamans, and warriors. They are the only Horde race that can be a druid in Classic. Their WoW Classic racial abilities include +15 to herbalism skill, a real timesaver in Classic, where herbing can fail; 5% increased health, a boon to tanks; +10 to Nature Resistance, which is useful (as noted above) in Ahn’Qiraj raids when they open; and the powerful area-of-effect stun ability War Stomp.

The combination of Nature Resist, Health Boost and War Stomp make Taurens a particularly nice combination for warrior tanks. Other than that (and druids, who don’t have a choice), we think there are better choices for other Horde classes.

TROLL
Trolls can be hunters, mages, priests, rogues, shamans, and warriors, making them the most versatile class and race combo selection. Their WoW Classic racial abilities include 5% extra damage against beasts; 5 extra skill for bows and thrown weapons; Regeneration, which increases health regeneration by 10% and allows 10% of that regeneration to occur during combat; and the powerful Berserking cooldown, which increases casting and attack speed by 10 seconds (the more hurt you are, the more it increases your speed).

Troll priests get two specific racials, including Hex of Weakness, which a debuff which reduces damage done by enemies (a very useful spell), and Shadowguard, a self-buff that causes damage when the priest takes damage.

Berserking is one of the few WoW Classic racial abilities to give one race a significant damage advantage to others in World of Warcraft, and it was one of the factors contributing originally to the slow slide that led to the current imbalance between Horde and Alliance who participate in endgame play. It is an incredibly powerful cooldown, comparatively, for damage-dealing classes, especially because it applies to both melee and casting speed, making it good for all DPS classes.

We recommend troll for any class except warrior tanks, who we think are slightly better off going Tauren. Trolls are particularly nice for hunters that use bows.
