WoW Horde Guide

All the races in World of Warcraft belong to one of two warring factions. They can either be members of the Alliance or the Horde. In the following WoW horde guide I’ll take you through an introduction to the 5 races that make up the horde.

There’re five races that belong to the Horde they are: Blood Elves, Orcs, Tauren, Trolls, and Undead. Choose your race carefully as they have their own strength and weaknesses.

WoW Horde Guide to Races

Blood Elves:

Blood Elves were once High elves but renamed themselves after their Kingdom was destroyed by the Scourge during the Third War.

The Blood Elves mount is the Hawkstrider and can be purchased outside of the capitol of Silvermoon City in Thuron’s Livery.

Many Blood Elves belong to the mage and warlock classes. Some also become warriors and hunters.

Orcs:

Orcs have a long history as warrior and it’s reflected in their race. They can have the following character classes: Death Knight, Hunter, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, and Warrior. Orcs start in Durotar, The Valley of Trials. Large wolves also known as Worgs are the Orcs’ mount.

They specialize in using the ax and if you really like fighting with brute strength then this race and one of its associated classes may be right for you.

Leveling horde is accomplished fastest by using a good WoW Horde Guide. One that I personally recommend comes with the Ultimate WoW Guide.

This guide also has class specific guides which are perfect for leveling and playing your avatar well.

Tauren:

Tauren are another great choice for those who want to do a lot of combat. They not only have strength but also endurance.

They have an ability known as the War Stomp. The War Stomp is the Tauren’s ability to communicate with spirits and have them shake the Earth and stun their enemies.

Because of their large size the mount selection is limited. One mount is the Kodo, a large reptile.

The classes that can be played by this race are as follows: Druid (Exclusive to Tauren), Shaman, Hunter, Warrior, and the Death Knight. I won’t go into playing to specific classes in the WoW Horde Guide, for that check out my recommended class guides.

Trolls:

Trolls are one of the least played races in WoW. They start in the same place as the Orcs, in The Valley of Trials. They specialize in Throwing Spears, and in combat will go into Berserker state which allows them to cast spells and attack faster.

Classes that can be played with this race are: Priest, Rogue, Warrior, Mage, Hunter, and Shaman. Their mount is the Raptor.

Undead:

Undead, also known as Forsaken, start in a western area of Tirisfal Glades called Deathknell. Classes that can be played are: Death Knight, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior. Their mount is the Skeletal Horse. Two traits of the Undead that give it some advantage over other races is their ability to stay underwater because they don’t need to breath and they can eat the remain of other races and gain their strength back.
