which is better and why?
Human because we are not on the side of the filthy Orcs or the treacherous undead xD
Human, since 2 trinkets will always be good in pvp in any situation while bloodelf silence racial only in certain situations.
(But play what you aesthetically prefer and also if you wanna be horde or alliance)
space hobos !!
If you like big weapons and cheesy racial that removes many CC from you including in PvE, increasing your survivability and dps (due to less downtime) and faster rep grind plus some minor stealth detection - pick human.
If you just can’t wait for holy cows in next xpack - pick AoE silence good for some 5pp content against caster packs.
Draenei Female, Because boobs.
Blood elf, so you will be prepared for squeezing m+ in Classic Legion.
Say it louder!
15 years later, and I still can’t take orc males seriously.
Alright, I’m going to be serious this time: nelf paladin.
May the elune be with you, bby.
PvP or PvE?
PvE i would say BE because their active racial is just so much better.
PvP i would say human for the same reason.
Pve human has mace and sword specialization better for ret and tank
Blood Elf if you want to play Horde, Human if you want to play Alliance.
Racial wise, Human is superior by far.
Blood elf because Horde.
BE: WOTLK Paladins do not have problems with mana, so the only thing left is AoE silence. Good for tanking in 5ppl content or assisting tank in keeping that silence vs caster packs just like they did in Legion’s Mythic+ before Blizzard nerfed it. In raids though bosses are immune to it and trash rarely has casters that you can interrupt this way, besides there are more players with target interrupts on shorter CD, so raid doesn’t really need extra AoE interrupt/silence to begin with.
Humans:
- Sword & mace specialisation. Nerfed, but still a small nice bonus.
- 3% extra spirit. Nerfed from 10%, but still a neat bonus for holy paladins.
- Peception - now a minor passive stealth detection. Good for 5ppl content where you need to see stealthed rogues, like it was in Shattered Halls.
- Will to survive. Works in PvE (unlike when they nerfed it in MoP on 4 kings in Mogu’Shan Vault) removing many CC used against you. Yes you are the paladin and have freedom, cleanse and bubble, but usually you have forbearance after using wings and human racial is only way to ensure your burst won’t be interrupted with hard CC like stun or MC.
- oh and extra 10% of any reputation gains is good for any rep farming, saving you time and recources.
Disgusting.
Dwarf pala because to hell with meta.
Blood elf because Horde.
This…
Dwarf pala because to hell with meta.
…but also this, because Dwarves are cool.
Best race is blood elf because its ELF)))
Female dwarf, obviously.
I will put it this way… If you want to play specific faction go for it. As in if you want to be Paladin in the horde - go for it. Blood elf might lack in sheer power of racials compared to Human but they’re still solid because the class is solid (also, screw the Wizards in Scarlet Monastery) and while minimal chances of resisting a spell is still nice. Same applies for Aliance you want min-max go Human, you like dwarves? Do it. You like sexy/muscular/both goats and the feeling of aiding your team no matter how insignificantly? Dreanei are there.
