Given the new "trinket" talent available to locks, along with casting while moving ability, which race would you suggest? Normally I would think undead for wotf, but I'm not sure fear bombs will be that big of an issue.
I think visually I prefer goblins, but that's just because I'm used to gnomes and dwarves.
Thoughts? Undead? BE? Other?
BE arcane torrent is great when dealing with casters in close range, i.e. when you are melee yourself.
Goblins are great at the start of an expansion due to low haste values and the extra 1% haste they have. The rocket jump is a live saver, but harder to manage while multiboxing.
Undead: it's an extra trinket vs priests, warriors and locks.
Orc: the extra spellpower racial is pretty much a trinket, and reduced stun lock effects are awesome vs rogues.
I'd always go orc warlock myself for pvp.
It is going to depend on what spec you use.
Affliction can play the ranged game.
Where you never close to melee, and are extremely mobile with mostly insta-casts.
If that's the case, Arcane Torrent won't see much use.
If you're not closing to melee... I'd go with Undead.
There was something where they have a chance to proc something that hurts the enemy and simultaneously heals themselves.
If you decide to go Demonology, you can stay in Demon Form indefinitely glyphed.
So you might not mind being in melee range almost all the time.
It will be spell cleave -- Immolation Aura, etc, vs whatever you're killing.
In which case the racial silence (Blood Elf) on round-robin would be my top race pick.
Destro most likely
