Warcraft Horde Guide- 5 Races

Blood Elves:

After the destruction of their kingdom in the Third War by the Scourge the High Elves became known as the Blood Elves.

Get the Blood Elf’s mount, Hawstrider, just outside Silvermoon. When it comes to classes Blood Elves tend to be for the most part Mages and Warlock and to lesser degree Warriors and Hunters.

Orcs:

Orcs have a long tradition as Warriors and this in turn is seen in many of their characteristics. For example their weapon is the axe and they fight with pure brute strength. If this is your style of play then this race may be a good choice. As an Orc you can belong to the Death Knight, Hunter, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, and Warrior classes. Worgs, large wolves, serve as the Orcs’ mount.

Tauren:

If your play style favors combat, then another great choice is the Tauren. This is mainly due to their great endurance and strength in battle.

Tauren have a really interesting ability known as the War Stomp. This allows them to communicate with spirits which in turn shake the very Earth and stun their enemies.

Tauren’s massive size will limit the selection of its mount. A large reptile known as the Kodo is one choice.

Taurens can be Druids, Shamans, Hunters, Warriors, and Death Knights.

Trolls:

The least common race in all of Warcraft are the Trolls. Similar to the Orc, they’re fantastic in combat. Specializing in Throwing Spears, they can also go into Berserker state which gives them spell casting ability and makes their attack speed faster.

Priests, Rogues, Warriors, Mages, Hunters, and Shamans are the classes available to Trolls. Raptors serve as the Troll’s mount.

Undead:

Finally the Undead, also known as Forsaken, can belong to the Death Knight, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior classes. Skeletal Horses serve them as their mount. Two interesting things about the Undead is that they can feed on the flesh of other races to regain their own strength and thier ability to stay under water since they don’t breathe.
