So i'm gonna take the plunge after obliterating alliance to fook on a 76 DK today and get 3 others DK's up and going. Now I was wondering what people suggest for race? It has to be horde. The DK I have is Undead. I figured I would just take 3 more Undeads for the Will of the Forsaken. My paladins were Blood elf, but since you got 4 mind freeze's and Strangulates, Silencing doesn't really seem a problem. Tauren aren't my favorite, since I like to be small and not stand out to much in a crowd, since that only gets more attention -> focussed fire. Not something I'd like to achieve.

Main goal is Bg.

Other thoughts?

Tried checking Arenajunkies, but doesn't show any 5vs5 team with 3 DK's or more. somewhat odd.

Blood Elf.


The AoE silence may not seem awesome at first when you have mind freeze and strangulate, but it is simply awesome for arena.

I love to Mass Death Grip + Arcane Torrent right after. It serves as a silence and an interrupt. It is simply murder to any caster based team.


Mind Freeze is nice, but most have it on a 2.5 second round robin on current target. Strangulate is awesome, but costs a rune and 2 minute (1 minute talented) cool down.

Arcane Torrent does an AoE silence and gives you 15 runic power. It is off global cool down. You don't have to worry about resources, gcd, or direction. It makes going after healers a lot easier.

Just be aware of diminishing returns.

The first target will suffer a 2 second silence. If you use it again within 15 seconds, the targets will suffer only 50% of the affect (so 1 second). If you use it a third time within 15 seconds of the last one, the affect is 75% (so 1/2 second silence)

You could make a sequence in IsBoxer with the appropriate delays, to lock out a caster for 3.5 seconds - almost as good as a second strangulate.

Strangulate will lock out a caster for 5 seconds (7 seconds if glyphed and they were casting at the time).

Thanks,

I'm aware of all the mechanics and know what there is to know. The thing Is, in BG a Fear can screw you up badly. Now ofcourse I would have trink and Lichbane, so that would make a fear breakable every 1 minute. Or extra silence, of which I doubt the use in BG's. Since you got a Mind Freeze every 2,5 sec. The main thing is that you actually need to interrupt, where a Silence can be much stronger is certain cases. vs a resto druid for example.

So if the majority agrees with you, then Belf it will be.


Orc doesn't really seem to cut it. Petdmg is neglectable as frost? and As far as I can see now, I shouldn't need extra AP to score a kill :D

undead is also good, an additional fearbreaker but shares 45 sec cd with trinket

Blood elves are so ... alliance. Despite having a couple myself for racials. The goblin jump is a pure win for me.

For mechanics, horde-side you'll likely want Blood Elves.
Or as an alliance, I really like gnomes but humans can use a non 2-min PvP trinket so they're worth mentioning.

Hey hun as you know i run 5 bloodelfs and The AoE silence can just be a right pain for the other group sometimes think about being in the bossess room of AV and spaming this healers are stuck and it gets massey! i taken on a good 30+ players in galv room just with 5 chars with Amory of undead and AoE silences

towers is a good choice as well sometimes even saved my life in Aerna (but u know am haveing a bad week there) to be fair i love Mine being Bloodelfs. but any class could be good Would stay away from gobln though. hehe

This x1000. My favorite thing to do is to mess up or wipe the alliance when they are on Drek.

I rush in, spread out my Dks + Paladin and do arcane blast x5. It stops all Allies heals and attack for 2 seconds, I then follow that up with hungering cold spam. Usually gives me enough time to kill their tank and a few healers. Sometimes, they are messed up so bad they can't recover and wipe.

I like orcs:

[Axe Specialization] = expertise 1h and 2h axes.
[Hardiness] = 15% less stun and disorient.
[Command] = Increased pet damage
[Blood Fury] = + ATKP by 1170 for 15 sec.

Plus they look cool (i'm female).
