Hello i was wondering what race would be best for which class. So i decided to do a list to see what you all thought and add ideas which you think are best. I will chose one Horde and one Alliance for each class.
Warrior: Orc/Human
Paladin: Tauren/Human
Hunter: Orc/Dwarf
Rogue: Goblin/Human
Shamen: Orc/Dwarf
Mage: Blood Elf/Draenei
Warlock: Orc/Human
Monk: Pandaren/Pandaren 
Druid: Night Elf/Tauren
Death Knight: Blood Elf/Human
Thats my list what is yours?
No worgen, dissapointed
Any combo thats cute pretty much ( like worgen priest or goblin dk )
I forgot Preist.
Preist: Nightbourne/Night Elf
With warriors Iâd swap humans out and replace them with worgen, the theme of fighting with a primal rage fits the worgen more then the human race. Even their combat stance looks more âwarriorâ like, grasping their weapons tight as they give their enemy an angry glare.
Also Troll hunters fit more imo then orc hunters, just the image of a troll headhunter throwing spears at their prey while a raptor charges into the same prey. Wish somehow we could have ranged hunters throwing their polearm weapons in-game, but I do feel that trolls are the Hordeâs iconic hunter.
I feel like there might be some human and orc bias but at the same time they are the poster-races of their respective factions so I wouldnât say there is a bias, but give the other races some love brudda.
My list:
Druid: Night Elves, Tauren
Demon Hunters: Obvious, we only have 2 races and both work.
Death Knight: Human, Forsaken, Orcs, Blood Elves
Shaman: Orcs, Trolls.
Mage: Nightborne, Blood Elves, Humans
Hunter: Night Elf, Blood Elf, Troll, Dwarves
Rogue: Forsaken, Humans, Night Elf
Paladin: Human, Draenei (both.)
Priest: Human, Night Elf, Draenei, Blood Elf
Warrior: Human, Orcs, Tauren, Dwarves
Warlock: Orcs, Blood Elf, Void Elf, Forsaken, Worgen
Monk: Pandaren
Seriously?
If itâs just for looks Iâd but Gnome under the cloth classes because they look pretty decent in it, but if itâs for theme Iâd probably just refine it down into Mage and Warlock.
Gnomes make pretty cool rogues too, but maybe Iâm a little biased.
The age of Man is over.
The age of the Pandaren is at hand.
Warrior: Orc/Human
Paladin: Blood Elf/Human
Hunter: Troll/Dwarf
Rogue: Goblin/Human
Shaman: Orc/none
Mage: Blood Elf/Human
Warlock: Orc/Human
Monk: Pandaren(and shouldnât exist in any other form)
Druid: Tauren/Night Elf
Death Knight: Blood Elf/Human
Priest: Blood Elf/Human
Demon Hunter: Shouldâve all drown in blood from their sliced wrists already, but if i had to pick one⊠A blood elf. Night Elves were only few and are lame, Illidanâs race says nothing: I very much prefer Kaelâthasâ followers turned demon hunters over âlolol im edgy immabedh random nelfâ
Iâm sorry but
#notallwarriors
are retarded
peak performance is skill and tactical mastery
furr is for weaklings
Hmm
Warrior: Pretty much every race, but especially Human, Orc, Worgen, Dwarf
Paladin: Human, Blood Elf (Blood Elves make up a pretty bignumber ofBlood Elf military, Dwarves,Draenei for that Vindicator goodness, I can actually see Tauren and Trolls, after all a Paladin is Pretty much a Holy Warrior, and both Mesomamericans and Native Americans pretty famously had those (realises he has named all of them) Definitely Humans would be the poster child though. Maybe Lightforged
Hunter: Troll, Tauren, Blood Elf (Farstriders are massive politically and militarily) I can also see Worgen and of course Dwarves.
Rogue: Human, Troll, Worgen, Goblins, Gnomes (G.C.O) Again Iâd like to see Tauren Rogues, given that the culture they are based on were renowned for being Stealthy. Dark Iron Dwarves. Forsaken (Deathstalkers)
Mage: Humans, Blood Elves, Gnomes,Draenei. Nighborne
Shaman: Pretty much the ones who have them Trolls, Tauren,Dark Iron Dwarves, Orcs. Dwarves. Kul Tirans (Tidesages) Shaman always seemed an odd choice for Draenei (apart from Broken, but we canât play those)
Warlock: Human, Gnome, Definitely Forsaken, Blood Elves, Void Elves
Death Knights: Humans, Orcs, Forsaken, Koltira is a major one as well, so Blood Elves, especially as so many were killed when Arthas did the Devastation Tango through Quelâthalas. (Even though technically they would be High Elves when risen (mostly) until they chose to join the Horde.
Priest: Hmm, Humans, Kaldorei, Trolls, Draenei (both types) probably Dwarves.
Demon Hunters: Umm, well, Kaldorei and Sinâdorei,
Interesting question though.
Druid, Kaldorei and Tauren are the most iconic. Possibly Trolls due to their propensity for resembling the Loa Kul Tirans for the Wicker things.
Warrior: Orc.
Paladin: Human.
Hunter: Tauren, Troll.
Rogue: Forsaken, Goblin.
Shaman: Orc, Tauren.
Mage: Blood Elf, Human.
Warlock: Forsaken.
Monk: Pandaren.
Druid: Night Elf.
Priest: Night Elf, Human, Forsaken (Shadow).
Demon Hunter: Night Elf.
Death Knight: Human.
There are some where I think thereâs no competition. The Human Paladin, the Orcish Warrior, the Pandaren Monk, among a few others. Theyâre the iconic race/class combinations.
If I hadnât tried to be impartial, it may have just been a full list of elves though.
Here goes.
Warrior: Orc, tauren and undead.
Paladin: Human and Zandalari trolls.
Hunter: Dwarves, worgen.
Shaman: orc, tauren.
Warlock: Dark Iron Dwarf, dwarf, orc, gnome.
Druid: Worgen and tauren.
Priest: Human, blood elf, troll.
Demon Hunter: Blood Elf.
Mage: Dwarf, human, orc.
Monk: forsaken, draenei, pandaren.
DK: Human, orc.
Rogue: gnomes, goblins.
I think that dwarven mages and orcish ones are extremely great archetypes overall.
I believe any combination can be a great choice, if managed well.
Iâd go the other way round.
Humans: pretty much all the classes they can be, though the best ones are probably Warrior, Paladin, Rogue, Mage, Warlock.
Night Elves: Rogue, DH obviously, Priest, Hunter, Mage (itâs rather interesting due to their backstory) and of course Druids.
Gnomes: Rogue, Hunter, Warrior, Mage.
Dwarves: Warrior, Hunter, Rogue. Maybe Warlock.
Draenei: Paladin, Priest, Warrior.
Worgens: Warrior, Rogue, Warlock. Maybe Hunter.
Orcs: Warrior, Warlock, Hunter
Trolls: Warrior, Rogue, Hunter, Shaman
Tauren: Warrior, Hunter, Shaman, Druid
Forsaken: Rogue, Warlock, Warrior. Priest is a very interesting choice though, due to the fact they feel pain when channeling the light, so they have to be very strong-willed.
Goblins: Rogue, Hunter.
Blood Elves: Paladin, Mage, Rogue, Hunter, Warlock
Pandaren: Monk, Warrior, Rogue, Hunter.
I didnât put DK cause every race is eligible (aside for Pandarens, AS OF NOW atleast) and I think feels right at home.
Allied races are rather easy, though I will only say something about Nightborne Warlocks, which in my opinion make a lot of sense but can easily be seen as âwrongâ.
That said, these are some âsafe choicesâ, in a way you know you will blend in with the rest of your race or you will surely find a spot in your racesâ ranks. Anyway, all the other choices are interesting, they could just require a bit more characterization but not even that much if you ask me.
For instance a Human Hunter is rather easy to imagine.
Such as a Goblin Warrior, or a Orc Rogue, and so on.
My list
Warrior: Orc, Zandalari.
Paladin: Human, Blood elves, Lava Dwarves, Zandalari.
Priest: Blood elves, Night elves, Dwarves, Human.
Hunter: Troll, Dwarves.
Rogue: Human, Undead, Kul Tiran.
DH: None.
Monk: Pandaren (not other race should be able to be a monk, in my opinion).
Mage: Blood elves, Void elves, Undead, Nightborne.
Druid: Tauren, Night elves, Kul Tiran.
Warlock: Undead, Human, Blood elves, Nightborne, Gnome.

Draenei: Paladin.
Worgen: Rogue.
Orc: Warrior.
Forsaken: Shadow Priest.
Troll: Hunter.
