Rogue Race?

[Y2K]

Hiya! I was just wondering if you guys could tell me whats the most advantageous Race to play being Horde, for PvP, please?

I've read a few forums & been through a few sites & have gathered that Undead with WoTF & Cannabilize do well in PvP; along with BElfs & their Mana tap (energy), AOE Silence thingy.

What I want to know is does having WoTF make much difference endgame, along with Mana tap & the Silence skill?

Thanks!

That extra silence on a Rogue is win but for PvP UD's WoTF is just as good. In the end i'd say WoTF is slightly better coz of all those damn locks.

Undead hands down

Most racials become null and void at about lvl 50.
U don't use them that much after. WoTF does still work for the Fears in instances like SL and so forth. I would assume
that with the amount of Mana Mobs have at end game, Mana tap = useless. But I have never played BElf so I won't know

I would agree on Undead rogues, part from the looks these guys are quite awesome.

Orc rogues? I have often wondered why there are not more of these, stun resistance and some weapon expertise should make them quite good or?

Undead ftw. My boy owns. & u got to love stealthing heroic instances for the chest loots.

Undead rogues are the best coz immune to fear Clothies drop like flies

I have been wondering the same. They have +Damage benefit on Axes. Rogues can't use axes. They have Bloodlust as a Racial, but it's not that good

Bloodlust is nice. Not OP but a little bit of extra damage.
Unfortunately Orcs make better Shammies then Rogues.
Their extra Stun resist is probably their best Racial from a Rogue standpoint.

O ok, I get it now.

I still prefer WoTF though

Won't argue with Undead or BE as best overall, although their racials tend to push them towards caster-dominance, a role that they're already strong at. Ideally a rogue would want some racial options to counter his kryptonite - arms warriors. Unfortunately no Horde race has such a racial. Maybe orc stun resist could help escape a warrior stun, but it's generally better against other rogues. The only race that really allows for this, are gnomes. Escape Artist is probably the best racial at this point considering the current strength of snares over fears in arena.

If it has to be Horde, Undead, as the consensus states, is probably your best bet. But if faction doesn't matter, gnome is where it's at right now.

Sorry I phrased it really badly. I meant of all the Orcs Racials the one most useful to a Rogue is the Stun resistance.

I've played UD and Belf Rogues (UD 60 was pre-BC) and I'd have to say WoTF is the best of the 2 Racials but the Belf one is still really awesome.
Also don't forget how awesome Cannibalise is to a non-healer class.
