Pick a racial benefit for the problem you face

Automatically checked racial values

Original v0.143.2 · captured 2026-11-10. These values are parsed only while the original wording matches the reviewed rules. They describe racial text, not a measured best race, eligibility for every class or guaranteed encounter immunity.^[1]

Race	Source-described benefits
Human	15% more damage for 10s, on a 30s cycle. 20% additional experience. 20% additional gold.
Orc	35% more damage for 12s, on a 40s cycle. 10% extra maximum health.
Dwarf	A maximum-health-scaled 45% shield, on a 30s cycle. 6% additional damage. 30% extra pickup reach.
Night Elf	Near-death protection: 3s immunity with a 75s cooldown. 8% faster movement. 5% damage reduction.
Undead	Near-death protection: 4s immunity with a 60s cooldown. 1 health recovered per kill. 4% damage reduction.
Tauren	Nearby stun lasting 2s on a 15s cycle. 15% extra maximum health.
Gnome	Nearby roots lasting 2s on a 20s cycle. Cooldowns reduced by 8%. 20% additional luck.
Troll	Cooldown recovery accelerated by 30% for 10s on a 35s cycle. 1.5 health recovered each second. 3% additional critical chance.

Two racial values to recheck in v0.139

The original client now describes Human as +20% experience, versus +10% in the earlier snapshot. Dwarf now describes a shield every 30 seconds worth 45% of maximum health, versus every 45 seconds and 30% before. These are displayed text comparisons, not measured damage reduction or a universal race ranking. Read the current race panel before spending a permanent unlock.^[1]

Eight current racial profiles

Race	Inspected benefits	Editorial use
Human	Periodic damage; experience and gold bonuses.	General progression when available.
Orc	Periodic damage surge and extra maximum health.	Combine damage with a larger health buffer.
Dwarf	Periodic health-scaled shield, damage and pickup range.	A defensive/collection alternative.
Night Elf	Near-death immunity, movement and damage reduction.	Space to recover when positioning fails.
Undead	Near-death immunity, kill healing and damage reduction.	Dense waves offer more healing events than an isolated boss.
Tauren	Periodic nearby stun and 15% extra maximum health.	An editorial survival pick if this class can use it.
Gnome	Periodic nearby roots, shorter cooldowns and luck.	Repeated casting and space to move.
Troll	Periodic faster cooldown recovery, regeneration and critical chance.	Casting with steady recovery.

This paraphrases the v0.130.0 race text; the actual picker prints exact durations and values. These are automatic described effects, not proof of encounter immunity or controlled damage advantage.^[1]

Class choice comes before a “best race” label

1. Open Armory → Character and inspect which race is available to the selected class.
2. For repeated early contact deaths, compare a health/defence option such as Tauren or Dwarf when available.
3. If survival is already stable and repeat casts drive the build, compare Gnome, Troll or Orc for the actual engine.
4. For a shield or maximum-health scaling route, read the talent’s scaling condition before assuming every damage racial is equivalent.
5. If the desired race is locked, inspect Rewards → Races. Do not build the whole first-run plan around a purchase you cannot make.

We inspected the race and reward panels, not every class/race pairing or a performance benchmark. Race changes do not grant missing capstones or zone clears.^[1]

A permanent race purchase is not a talent respec

Rewards states that each race purchase opens it for every class, with its racial and passives, and is kept when perks are reset. Read the current price and unlock display on your save before confirming. A cosmetic appearance and a race capability should not be inferred from the same icon alone.
