Fury Warrior PvP Best Races and Racials (Shadowlands / Patch 9.0.2)
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 Fury Warrior PvP Guide.
Best Alliance Races for Fury Warrior
- Human
- Gnome
Humans
Human is the best race on Alliance because of 
Will to Survive. This is a free trinket
to get you out of stuns, and allows you to play with the 
Relentless effect for a great
advantage.
It is worth to note that 
The Human Spirit is also great, giving you more secondary stats.
Gnomes
Gnome is competitive with humans because of 
Escape Artist, allowing you to frequently
break roots, but is less impactful on Fury Warrior than Arms Warrior because of 
Bloodrage. The additional rage gained from
Expansive Mind is not particularly great, but is a bonus regardless.
Best Horde Races for Fury Warrior
- Orc
- Blood Elf
Orcs
Orc is the best race on Horde because of 
Hardiness, which grants you the benefits of
Relentless against stuns. This racial also stacks with similar effects, like the
Legendary effect
Sephuz's Proclamation. You gain a good amount of primary stat from 
Blood Fury,
and is off the global cooldown, so use it together with 
Warbreaker for a good amount of
extra burst.
Blood Elf
Blood Elves are primarily picked because of 
Arcane Torrent, which can purge off important
buffs like 
Blessing of Protection or 
Combustion. It is entirely random what buff you
purge off, and I would not recommend picking Blood Elf over Orc.
