Rogue PvP (arena)
PvP · Hordehorde
Undead
Will of the Forsaken breaks Fear, Sleep and Charm on demand — the single best PvP racial in the game for a rogue.
- Orc: Hardiness stun-resist + Blood Fury for a more aggressive setup.
PvP · Alliancealliance
Human
Weapon-skill racials (free expertise) plus Perception vs stealth make Human the strongest Alliance PvP rogue.
- Dwarf: Stoneform removes bleeds/poisons — a strong defensive.
- Gnome: Escape Artist for snare-heavy matchups.
Rogue PvE (raid)
PvE · Hordehorde
Orc
Blood Fury and dagger/sword expertise (axe spec) give Orc the top Horde PvE rogue damage.
- Troll: Berserking burst haste is very close and great with cooldowns.
PvE · Alliancealliance
Human
Sword/mace specialization is effectively free weapon skill for top Alliance PvE DPS.
- Night Elf: Slightly behind, but Shadowmeld has niche uses.
