Horde Race Rankings for PvE

Horde Race Rankings for PvP
If you are interested in PvP content, please refer to our dedicated Rogue guide.
Orc
Orcs have access to the Racial passive Hardiness, which is
unbelievably powerful in PvP, meaning Orcs have a 30% total chance to resist
stun effects. This is very strong in mirror matchups against other Rogues, since
you will have an increased chance to resist
Cheap Shot and
Kidney Shot,
as well as Engineering bombs. Orcs also have the cooldown
Blood Fury,
which is an extremely powerful cooldown and one of the best Racials for PvE
in general. When using this Racial in PvP, make sure to be mindful of the reduction
in your healing effects, which lasts 10 seconds longer than the Attack Power buff.
You also get the Racials
Command and
Axe Specialization,
which do not affect Rogues.
Undead
Undead is another very strong choice for PvP, due to the Racial cooldown
Will of the Forsaken, which can not only be used to get out of these
status effects, but also to provide an immunity to them. This is not a useful
cooldown for PvE.
Undead also have access to Shadow Resistance, which is useful
against Warlocks,
Underwater Breathing, and
Cannibalize.
Troll
Trolls have access to the Racial cooldown Berserking, which has
a niche of being most effective at low health. Getting the full 30% requires you
to be fairly low health, which is not something you actively want to do.
Trolls also have Regeneration (which is fantastic for leveling,
as you will have to wait less time in between pulling mobs),
Bow Specialization,
Throwing Specialization, and
Beast Slaying, which
do not have much impact on Rogue.
