Affliction Warlock PvP Best Races and Racials (Dragonflight / 10.0.7)
Racial bonuses can provide interesting PvP benefits. Here are the best races to choose for each faction. The races are sorted from highest impact in arena to lowest. However, all races below have their own unique ways of making an impact in a PvP match.
This page is part of our Affliction Warlock PvP Guide.
Best Alliance Races for Affliction Warlock PvP
- Dark Iron Dwarf
- Void Elf
Dark Iron Dwarf
Dark Iron Dwarf is the best Alliance race for Affliction Warlocks in PvP. The main
reason for that is Fireblood which is a 2 minute cooldown racial
which grants you an Intellect boost as well as dispelling all poisons, diseases,
curses, magic and bleed effects. This is especially useful against Feral Druids
and Assassination Rogues, as you can remove
Deathmark.
Void Elf
Void Elves are the second best Alliance race for Affliction Warlocks in PvP.
The main reason for this is because of their racial, Spatial Rift, which
allows you to throw out a shadow which you can then teleport to for the next
few seconds. This adds to the great mobility Affliction Warlocks already have.
Teams that focus you become much easier to deal with by having this extra
mobility spell.
Best Horde Races for Affliction Warlock PvP
- Troll
Trolls
Trolls are the best choice for Horde Affliction Warlocks in PvP.
The main reason for this is Berserking which increases your Haste by
10% for 12 seconds. Additionally,
Da Voodoo Shuffle
reduces the duration of snares by 20%. Due to the playstyle of an Affliction
Warlock revolving around kiting it synergises well with how Affliction Warlocks
perform in the Arena.
