Lethals Guide for Class - Race Pairing
===================
Over the past few months I have been taking a break from WoW; well I just logged on today and I realized, wow look at all these PM’s. In majority it asked for what’s the best class, race pairing and what to do with them. Well, in this guide I shall answer those questions the only way I know how; a well-written out list of how-to-do’s.
===================
[1] Races and Classes
[2] Race, Class Strengths
[3] Race Pros and Cons
[4] Best Race/Class to Twink
[5] Fastest Race/Class to Level
-----------------------------

------------------------------
[2] Race, Class Strengths
Troll –
Because of the added Agility and Berserking that the Troll has; Troll is best played as a Melee class. Many may argue this, but hey this is my guide; give me some evidence; now then. Troll as a warrior provides an excellent Fury/Arms warrior, heres a spec:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=4678 PvP/Grinding
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=4724 Fury Shield
The Troll as a Rogue is also a great bet, because of Berserking and Agility:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=83 PvP Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7345 PvE Build
Also, Troll is an excellent Hunter class; because of the Agility bonus:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=3935 PvP Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=2075 Pet Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=8639 Raid Build
Blood Elf – * UPDATED ! *
The most I can say about Blood Elf, is that since they have AoE silence; they will dominate all life in Azeroth if paired with a Melee class. Heres some specs for Warrior :
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=4771 Tanking Build 20man +
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7680 Protection Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=5126 Arms/Protection
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=4724 Fury Shield
Blood Elfs make good Roges because of their AoE silence and mana tap which adds 10 energy per-use :
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=83 PvP Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7410 Combat/Assass Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7345 PvE Build
Since BE is the only Paladin on Horde side; you just have no choice :
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=6141 Healer/Tanking
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=6103 Full Support * Priest with Plate *
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=3797 Two Handed Monster
Orc –
Personally I think Orc is the hybrid race; with high stun resist and excellent rage regeneration, Orc plays out for both Melee and Magic, here are some specs for a Shaman:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=6359 PvP Build *High stun resist*
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=5454 Restoration Build
As an Orc Warrior, players should go with Arms/Protection because of higher starting Strength and stun resist the Orc Warrior is a more efficient one:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=4771 Tanking Build 20man +
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7680 Protection Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=5126 Arms/Protection
Undead –
Undead is an excellent Magic class; because of higher starting Intellect than any race in the hordish arsenal can put up, heres specs for Mages:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7234 PvE/Raiding Frost Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=5738 PvP Fire/Frost Build
Undead for Warlocks are also extremely potent because of the Will of the Forsaken and higher starting Intellect, any kind of Lock is fine:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=5290 Nuke/DOT Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=3790 Destro Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=351 Demonology/Affliction Build
Tauren –
It’s a shame that we don’t see many Tauren Druids around, but we should be; Tauren is more of a hybrid class like the Orc, but isn’t really geared toward anything particular of its four classes, so like the Tauren I would recommend Druid for Tauren as with Warrior. Heres some Druid specs:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=3074 Restoration Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=6807 Tanking/Resto Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=6667 PvP Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7328 Moonkin Build
Tauren also rolls old school with a warrior because of high starting strength it’s a good pair for a hybrid class, I would recommend a Protection spec with T. Warriors:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7680 Protection Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=4771 Tanking Build 20man +
============================
Human –
Were to place Humans; they really don’t have any strengths, they are the Alliances only hybrid race, so Anything goes for them; casters will find it easier because Alliance can use Perception and they have bonus Spirit, so caster are the way to go, but Melee is ok too.
Draeni- * I WILL DO DRAENI AS SOON AS I HIT LVL 30 WITH ONE *
Now I love this race; I spent hour in BC beta playing as these guys and I can safely say go Melee. They are like Orcs for the Alliance, they have an AoE at level 1 that get more powerful every 15 levels I think, not sure about the final version. Rolling Melee with Draeni is a wise choice or being a Shaman is good too. I will do Draeni stuff as soon as I hit LvL 30 with one
Night Elf-
Since Night Elf has Shadowmeld and Quickness, its best to play a fragile class such as priest or you can roll hybrid with a druid. Night Elf’s make OK Rogues, but that will come up later with the Gnomes as recommendation because Night Elf’s have less starting Agility than the Gnomes do. Here is some specs for Priests:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7568 Shadow/Disc Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=4520 Holy Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=8622 Holy Build 2
If you planning to roll Druid; NE is the only Alliance race that can:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=3074 Restoration Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=6807 Tanking/Resto Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=6667 PvP Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7328 Moonkin Build
Dwarf –
Dwarfs are a Melee class; but they have Priests, I say do whatever you want when it comes to Dwarf. With Priests they are the same as others, but dwarf has Stoneform; which means it is resistant to what other race are vulnerable too, plus it increases armor by 10%; great for cloth wearers. Rogues need to concentrate on building Strength before Agility *that come third to Stamina*; because its good to make advantage of the dwarfs good starting Strength and Stamina. Heres build for Priests:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=4520 Holy Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7568 Shadow/Disc Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=8622 Holy Build 2
Dwarfs paladins are awesome because of Stone Form and its starting strength :
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=6141
Healer/Tanking
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=6103
Full Support * Priest with Plate *
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=3797
Two Handed Monster
Dwarf Rogues should spec in either Combat/Assassination or PvP builds:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=83 PvP Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7410 Combat/Assass Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=5966 Sword/Mace Build
Dwarf Warriors should spec Fury; because they can hit hard with their high strength and score major critical strikes; they can also roll Protection:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=4678 PvP/Grinding
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=4724 Fury Shield
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7680 Protection Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=4771 Tanking Build 20man +
Gnome –
Gnomes have the highest in starting Agility and Intellect for the Alliance Arsenal; so naturally they should play either a Rogue or Mage, Warlock. As a Rogue they should concentrate more on Agility than Strength, working on AGL then STM then STR. Mages should work on INT and STM and SPRT as with the Warlock. Heres some build for Rogues :
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=83 Dagger Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7345 PvE Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=1423 Sword Build
Gnome mages are great because they have higher starting INT and have Escape Artist:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=7234 PvE/Raiding Frost Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=5738 PvP Fire/Frost Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=6289 Arcane Build
For Warlocks it’s a good idea for gnomes to run with a Destro build:
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=5290 Nuke/DOT Build
http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ViewTemplate.php?templateid=3790 Destro Build
