Picking The Best Race For Mage On Horde Side
Trying to figure out which race to go with for your mage, either when you roll your new one or race change in the near future? Have you decided looks aren’t a big factor, because mage always looks cool? Then this guide is the place for you. We’ll talk about the benefits each race brings to the table, and figure out the best PvP and PvE races among them.
The first race we’ll discuss is Undead. Undead’s big thing is Will of the Forsaken, which is getting nerfed in 3.3. So Undead are going from top PvP dog to “The guys with the cool cast animation”. Will of the Forsaken will still be useful, but it will pale in comparison to the other racials. And the effect of WotF on PvE is negligible. Skip them if you are wanting to min/max.
Blood elves are the second race we will talk about. Arcane Torrent is the primary racial of note here. For PvP applications, it is one of the better ones around; an extra silence is always a great thing to have. For PvE, the mana regen from Arcane Torrent is great while you are leveling, but at max level you shouldn’t be having mana issues anyways, making it mostly useless.
Troll is the last race on the Horde mage list, and have always been the least popular. That may change soon though. Da Voodoo Shuffle is a useful talent for PvP, reducing the duration of snares and roots. And Berserking is possibly the best Mage racial in the game. In PvP it is another powerful haste buff, allowing for immense burst. And in PvE it is another cooldown to pop often, providing the best DPS improvement of any racial.
So in the end, Horde racials aren’t that hard to puzzle out. Undead is nerfed down to normal levels come 3.3, and isn’t good for PvE either way. Blood Elves do fine for leveling and PvP, but lack anything handy for PvE. And the ever-unpopular troll has a fantastic racial that is greatly valuable in PvP AND PvE content both. For the first time in WoW, Troll is the best.
I hope you found this guide to the best race for mage on the Horde side handy. Don’t forget that when it comes down to it, racials don’t mean all that much. With Blizzard’s balancing habits, racials are becoming more and more marginalized in the name of fair play. And the top dog can be the weakest race after one patch, if the nerfbat hits.
