Alliance Races At a Glance
By Mike Miller | October 24, 2009
So you’ve decided that you want to play Alliance. Now your next choice is going to be what race you are interested in playing. You are going to be looking at your character a lot if you decide to level it to eighty, so you should definitely pick something that is fun for you! However, it is
Humans
Humans have increased spirit, increased stealth detection and a +5 to their sword and mace skill. When you are looking at these bonuses, there are a few things that quickly become clear. In the first place, humans are great if you want to play a priest, thanks to to the increased spirit, and if you want to specialize with a sword or a mace, this can be a great advantage when you are getting started.
Gnomes
Gnomes are a great choice if you want to play a melee class thanks to their escape artist trait; this lets them get away from speed altering effects that can hold you down and cut back your damage. The +5 intelligence is good for anyone who wants to play a warlock or a mage, as is the arcane resistance. In terms of professions, the +5 to engineering can help you level this profession much more effectively.
Dwarves
Dwarves, like Humans, can play Paladins, but it is worth remembering that they can have the same problems due to reduced agility. They have stone form, which can help you level if you are playing a cloth wearing class, and you will also find that the +5 gun skill can be instrumental if you are looking at playing a hunter. Treasure finding is not quite as useful because chests are fairly obvious, but frost resistance can be useful if you are doing a lot of PVE.
Night Elves
When you are looking around your server, you might find that there are many Night Elf hunters and rogues, and there is a very good reason for that. The dodge bonus that Night Elves get can keep you from getting hit in the first place, something that is essential for rogues and hunters. Night Elves also have a resistance to nature damage and they also have access to Shadow Meld, which drops their threat and can make surviving solo a lot easier.
Draenei
The Draenei are the Alliance’s newest race and they have some great bonuses. Gift of the Naaru allows any Draenei to heal themselves or others and it can make soloing easier no matter what class you are playing. Draenei also get an increased chance to hit and they are resistant to shadow damage. They also get a +5 to jewelcrafting, which can be fun.
