When you are thinking about playing Alliance, you might be wondering about what the right race for you. The advantages that each race has to offer over the others is fairly small, and most people just decide based on looks and the class available to them, but you will find that there are some advantages that can make a difference when you are thinking about leveling and moving forward.

Humans

Humans have increased spirit, increased stealth detection and a +5 to their sword and mace skill. When you are looking at these bonuses, there are a few things that quickly become clear. In the first place, humans are great if you want to play a priest, thanks to to the increased spirit, and if you want to specialize with a sword or a mace, this can be a great advantage when you are getting started.

Gnomes

If you are interested in playing a melee class, Gnomes are a great option due to their escape artist trait; this lets you get away from effects that alter speed and you can get away from a lot of damage thanks to that. The additional +5 intelligence is good for warlocks or for mages and the arcane resistance can come in handy. If you are considering playing an engineer, the +5 to engineering can aid in leveling.

Dwarves

Dwarves are the only race besides Humans on the Alliance who can also be paladins, but it is also important to remember that they are at a bit of a loss when it comes to agility. They have a stone form that can bulk up defenses, which is good if you want to play a priest. Dwarf hunters ha a +5 gun skill, and frost resistance can come in handy in PVE. Treasure finding is another dwarf bonus.

Night Elves

When you are looking around your server, you might find that there are many Night Elf hunters and rogues, and there is a very good reason for that. The dodge bonus that Night Elves get can keep you from getting hit in the first place, something that is essential for rogues and hunters. Night Elves also have a resistance to nature damage and they also have access to Shadow Meld, which drops their threat and can make surviving solo a lot easier.

Draenei

The newest Alliance race has a lot to offer. Gift of the Naaru gives the entire race the ability to heal, and because it can heal yourself or another person, it is quite handy. Draenei have an increased chance to hit, which is great for any class, and they are also resistant to shadow magic. In terms of professions, they also have a +5 to jewelcrafting.
