Races

Ranked by how many of a race's racials touch what this spec does, read out of the game's own wording and out of the weapon its gear list aims for. Those are lit; the number on the right is the count. It is a measure, not a verdict: nothing in the beta has been parsed yet, so anything stronger would be a guess.

Alliance Alliance

  1. 1 Dwarf Big Game Hunter Stoneform Find Treasure Earth Fury 2

Horde Horde
