My understanding of tbc racial changes are that hardiness(orc), escape artist(gnome), and stone form(dwarf) have all been nerfed between tbc and vanilla.
Hardiness goes from 25% - > 15% stun res
Escape artist has a chance to fail, it gets “resisted” sometimes by roots
And blind no longer counts as a poison in tbc so stoneform cannot break rogue blind
My question is, to people in the know, what race do u think will be the best for warrior pvp in tbc arena?
Keep in mind that while orc stun res is nerfed for tbc it is indirectly buffed for warrior since iron will is moved from protection to arms tree. Meaning that orc war actually got easy access to more stun res in tbc than they did in vanilla.
Thank you for any feedback.
Still gnome. Orc isn’t bad. Resist RNG is the name of the game in tbc. but mobility can’t be overstated in value.
So make the choice based on faction and pick between gnome or orc.
People will succeed with every race, those are just the most immediately beneficial.
It also depends on what bracket you think you’ll playing the most. 2v2? Getting out of roots might be more important because of how many resto druids there will be. 3v3? You might prefer orc because of all the RMPs you’ll face. There are private servers that show their TBC PvP ladders, and it can give you an idea of what races/comps people are playing. But I don’t think it skews towards one race/faction predominantly.

You’re going to be in the expansion of mace stun. You’re going to want stun resist.
Alliance: If you don’t have a human on your team, human for perception. If you have a human on your team, gnome.
Horde: orc.
Play with a warlock. problem solved. and actually warriors best comp coincidentally.
