Which is the best looking warlock?
Would say Orc being Gul’dan was a well knowned lock himself also the armor looks better fit on an orc.

I’d say Undead because mogs look somewhat better on them, but Orcs have a better casting animation.

Undead. There are a lot of Warlock sets that look very good on Orc, but every set looks amazing on Undead.
Undead also don’t look ridiculous on horses, incase you wanted to use any of the Warlock mounts.

Idk I use to think the same about undead but them shoulder pads… Something about being a caster yet looking like a football player…kinda like that quarterback that’s big enough to also be a linebacker.
I love orcs my main is a orc hunter but there’s something about undead casters that I love . My mage and this lock are Undead.
Personally prefer Orcs as warlocks because:
#1 - I’m a fan of Warcraft 1, 2, and 3 where they were the OG’s of the OW
#2 - I like the juxtaposition of the big muscular brutish-looking Orc male as a spellcaster using sophisticated magic and tailoring robes. Fel magic is a nice tool to have in your pocket “just in case”.
#3 - The racial ability comes in handy to some extent.

Looks they both bring something different to the table but orcs are clothes horses in wow.
Lorewise i like orcs. Undead is staid and boring imo. Orcs are a little standard sure but i like the flavor of warlocks derived from shamans instead of mages.
Undead look pretty damn cool, but Orc Female with the right mog looks good as well. Orc racials are just so good if you’re a pvp player too.
I’ve played both, and I honestly prefer Orcs.
Undead are cool, but shoulder armor doesn’t sit properly on their models, they can’t wear some helmets without major clipping, and their racials aren’t as good.
Orcs look awesome! Males have epic shoulders, their racials are good (especially in pvp) and they can choose their posture, which prevents clipping with some helms
Also, I feel orcs fit warlock lore much better than undead. Orcs drank demon blood and became corrupted by fel, their green skin and red eyes are the results of the corruption. It just fits the warlock theme so well
Also also, the greatest mortal warlock to ever exist, Gul’dan, was an orc. Just saying…

I’m torn with this as well. I like the history of Orcs as Warlocks (paging Guldan) and how huge their shoulders look. Undead look nasty and that matches with the lock theme as well, but I’ve found cloth to be lacking on undead. I race-changed my undead mage to a belf and haven’t looked back. If cloth looked better on Undead, I think they would win hands-down. I have an undead lock at max, and an orc warlock i’m leveling. Debating about race-changing yet again…
Thinking about maybe Nightborne male as lock. They have that weird convulsing cast - kinda fits the lock theme. Not sure how mog looks on them as much.
Female Orcs, then both Forsaken genders, then male Orcs.
Never did like the size of those shoulder pieces on male Orcs.
Female Orc is god tier when it comes to anything horde transmog purposes.
But nothing beats the look/lore of an undead warlock.
I have both. I do think more sets look better on an undead but when you find the perfect set for an orc…forget about any other race.
<----
Case in point.

Came here to lurk around & research my race change to Horde… this kind of sealed the deal for me. Epic!
Orc. Undead have a certain creepyness that goes with them. definitely looks good in transmog. i just really like Orcs better. My character looks pretty boss in its transmog.
Undead would definitely give it a different feel.
I like Orc casting animations more.
