Mistweaver Monk PvP Best Races and Racials (Dragonflight 10.2)
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 Mistweaver Monk PvP Guide.
Best Alliance Races for Mistweaver Monk PvP
- Night Elf
- Gnome
- Dark Iron Dwarf
Night Elf Racials
The Night Elf racial bonus ( Shadowmeld) is always a strong choice.
This racial has a high skill cap, but using it to avoid crowd control can be
very powerful. For example, if a Mage is casting
Polymorph on you, use
Shadowmeld to avoid it. If you use Shadowmeld at the same time that a Priest
uses their
Psychic Scream, you will not be feared.
Gnome Racials
The Gnome racial bonus ( Escape Artist) removes any movement speed
reduction effects on you. With only a 1-minute cooldown, this can be used both
defensively or offensively. You can use this to help kite incoming damage or use
it to remove slows on you while chasing down an enemy. Another racial that
Gnome provides is
Expansive Mind. This will increase your
maximum Resource, which helps with not running out of resources.
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.
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.
Best Horde Races for Mistweaver Monk PvP
- Orc
- Undead
- Blood Elf
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.
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.
Blood Elf Racials
The Blood Elf racial bonus ( Arcane Torrent) has multiple effects.
The primary use for this ability is that it removes 1 beneficial effect from
all enemies in range. This is great for removing abilities such as
Blessing of Protection from Paladins or
Soul of the Forest from Restoration Druids.
The other effect is that it restores resources
based on what specialization you are.
