My current team is 4 dwarves and 1 gnome. I find humans boring, love gnomes, and female dwarves are a sight to see, so that's my current choice. However, I recognize the Blood Elf racial is extremely strong in PvP.
If taking PvP seriously, is the Blood Elf racial too good to pass up or can any race combination work well?
Too good to pass up. No silence no win.
Yes, it's also off GCD so it's very easy to include them all in a single staggered castsequence
Racials are quite decent at times.
With a castsequence for the AoE Silence, a caster is helpless in melee, and you can keep the silence up for a while.
Not sure if there are diminishing returns.
Silence actually really messes with a Paladin or another Death Knight too, as most of their stuff is cast dependent, even warriors lose options.
I'd go with the team you will enjoy to play the most.
Each option gets some advantages and loses other advantages too.
If the Dwarves/Gnome will be fun, I'd stick with them.
We can min/max to a degree, but shouldn't at the expense of having fun.
Well crap, looks like it's time to be horde then and time to derail the thread.
Any suggestions on a good horde PvP server? Hoping to have low queue times for BGs more than high winning percentage (rather be losing but playing non-stop than waiting 20 minutes to get in one that's over in a few minutes with a win). East coast preferable, and if anyone has enough foresight to know where rated BGs will be a priority, that would be a bonus.
silence is of course, subject to DR. First is 2 seconds. 2nd is 1 seconds. Then the target will be immue. So no reason to use more than 2 at a time.
Still as suprafro pointed out, it is off GCD. Put that in your killing rotation. It is deadly.
I don't know about other servers, or servers on general. It seems to me that Hordes are winning most of the WG and losing most of the BG in bloodlust battlegroup.
NO.1 PVP server in bloodlust group is undoubtedly Black Rock. Got the most PVPers on that server. Both hordes and alliance. I am currently on Frostwolf. It is so unbalanced. Horde vs Alliance 8:2 population wise. 80% of the time, WG is ours.
Racials will be changing when cataclysm hits, so I would back off on any decisions unless you dont want to wait. Im worried my human paladins will be losing their free trinket when the expansion hits =(
Hard to get to level 1 without making a decision nowQuote:
