Demonology Warlock PvP Best Races and Racials (Dragonflight / Patch 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 Demonology Warlock PvP Guide.
Best Alliance Races for Demonology Warlock PvP
- Dark Iron Dwarf
- Human
- Void Elf
Dark Iron Dwarf Racials
The Dark Iron Dwarf racial bonus ( Fireblood) removes all bleeds,
poisons, magical, and curse debuffs and increases your primary stat by 750 and
an additional 250 for each effect removed. This is a great racial to use
defensively. However, you can use this to remove debuffs right before you use
your burst rotation to increase your primary stat.
Human Racials
The Human racial bonus ( Will to Survive) is a great way to get
out of stuns. If you think you will be the focus target versus teams with
multiple stuns, this race allows you to play
Relentless. This will
help increase your overall survivability. It is also important to note that
Humans also have
The Human Spirit. This increases your secondary stats
(Haste, Critical Strike, Mastery, Versatility). This is another beneficial
reason to play Human.
Void Elf Racials
The most important part of being a Void Elf is the
Preternatural Calm racial. This causes your spell casts to no longer be
delayed when taking damage. This is great, because even when you are the
primary target, you will still be able to deal maximum damage and cast crowd
control.
Spatial Rift can also be mentioned, because the teleport
it provides gives you additional mobility and will help your
survivability.
Best Horde Races for Demonology Warlock PvP
- Orc
- Undead
- Troll
Orc Racials
The Orc racial bonus ( Hardiness) is great for reducing the
duration of stuns on you. This is absolutely the best Horde racial to have if
you are primarily focusing on PvP. In addition to Hardiness, Orcs also have the
Blood Fury racial. This is off the global cooldown and should be used
when you are using your burst rotation.
Undead Racials
The Undead racial bonus ( Will of the Forsaken) removes any Charm, Fear
or Sleep effect from you. This is a great racial versus specializations, like
Destruction Warlocks,
that are able to fear you constantly throughout an arena match. It is important
to note that this does share a 30-second cooldown with
Gladiator's Medallion, so it is advised to only use it when you do not
want to waste Gladiators Medallion.
Troll Racials
The Troll racial bonus ( Berserking) grants you a large amount
of Haste. You should activate this ability right before you are using important
cooldowns or to cast crowd control faster. Another racial to note is
Da Voodoo Shuffle. This significantly reduces the duration of slows on
you and will help when kiting enemy players that are focusing you.
