What is the best race for warlock?
You will play the race that you start out with all the way to 60, choose the one you think looks the coolest or fulfills any RP reasons you might have. That being said, Undead has Cannibalism (regen 35% of your health over 10 seconds) which does wonders with lifetap (not to mention Will of the Forsaken to break fear) and would be my choice. For the alliance, the gnome is the way to go. We need to stay at range, and their ability to get out of snares/roots is useful as is their increased intelligence. If you do want to go with one of the other playable races, you’ll enjoy +5% to pet damage and +25% stun resistance (good against rogues) as an Orc or Perception (also good for detecting rogues), +5% bonuses to Spirit, and +10% bonus to faction gain as a human. Ultimately I chose Undead/Gnome over Orc/Human due to the Orc/Human traits being defensive against a single class (Rogues) while Undead/Gnomes bonuses are geared towards more classes (anyone who uses fear, sheep, snares, or roots).
