I am looking at horde races. (I play alliance but not as much as I used to). Just want to know what the best race is for death knights

2

all death knights are undead so

3

Undead, imo

4

I don’t think it really matters, races aren’t vital these days atleast not as much as before. Play what you want

5

Blood elves make sense lore wise

Orcs or blood elves imo. Forsaken are terrible Dks imo because their bones poke through the big heavy armour and also they sound really squeaky and stupid with the dk voice filter.

Orc is the only answer. Even for a Druid.

If youre not going to be a Worgen Death Knight then be Orc. Orc is the best horde choice and look pretty cool as DKs

Our Racials are pretty good. Hardiness is hard to live without.

Undead are the worst. Just means you were already scourge and what? Now you’re undead-er?

Orcs look badass as DK’s as long as you use the DK customization’s.

Orc. They also get bonuses with pets (since Raise Dead is now through all specs).

He asked about Horde races, not for short novels about Alliance.

If you tend to run off cliffs, Panda. Halving fall damage has saved me more often than I’d like to admit.

I have one of each race, and though I love how aloof my void elf and blood elf are, I play the panda and the gnome more than any others.
Because, I mean, have you SEEN some of those helmets on gnomes? It’s hilarious. Makes me happy just looking at her.

I think whatever you can stand staring at while running, slowly, through dungeons/raids.

Tauren. We are the best.

I regret changing back to Blood Elf for this very reason, but I’m going back to Pandaren for Shadowlands.

Orc or Tauren

Check out combat animation to pick the race you like best and can connect with.

For example, I am not a fan of the twirl belfs do when using a 2hander. To me if just does not feel like that swing has any real weight behind it.

Due to the common result (So far) here i saw Orc as the best option for Death Knight so i have made an Orc Death Knight. Thank you all for the help

Death Knights are kinda old school, so I’d go with horse.
