EU+US Rogue races

Legend
I know race is largely unimportant, but some racials do offer perks that lend better to certain classes. I’m torn between Night Elf for Shadowmeld and increased speed while stealthed, Dwarf Stoneform for clearing debuffs for re-stealthing and the modest defense boost, Pandaren for Quaking Palm as an additional form of CC, and Worgen for their Darkflight speedboost. I guess I have a couple questions before I choose:

1) Is the speed boost while stealthed noticeable? Also, does Shadowmeld drop you from combat so you can Stealth right away, or does it just remove you from your enemy’s targeting? It’s wonky and I feel like they keep fucking with it.

2) What does Stoneform NOT remove?

3) Quaking Palm DRs with Sap, but not Cheap Shot, right?

Thanks im advance for any insight.
 
I am always going to be partial to NE. Restealths are so strong. You can macro shadpwmeld and stealth together and get a befgers vanish. The speed boost is nice but make sure you are using the runspeed enchant the other does not stack w it.

If you don't think you will like NE I suggest worgen. Speed is king in objective play and Warren are the alliance master race.
 
Not counting Allied Race, the simple BiR (Best in Race) breakdown is:

Stealth Utility: Night Elf
Movement Speed: Worgen

Interrupts: Panda

Damage Proc: Undead
Damage Boost: Orc

Honorable Mention: Goblin (The dash is helpful).

P.S.: People's opinion will differ based on personal preference.
 
the 5% stealthed speed thing is actually pretty nice, stacks with minor speed to equal 115% movement speed in stealth.

shadowmeld does not drop combat, takes a few seconds, in instanced PVP only. it's still super useful. drop targetting on a ranged character 30yds away. drop out of an aimed shot at the end of its cast. it does get you tons of restealths even without being a vanish.

You should definitely check into base stats, because if wowpedia is correct, for example a panda over a night elf represents -6agility. -8 for a dwarf.

also if you have dark iron dwarfs, their racial is basically just stoneform but better. can't really comment on darkflight because i've rerolled every worgen I ever made... I think it's a super underused racial because everybody hates playing Worgen. Their base agil is also pretty gud. But it is "only" 40% speed.

Goblin rocket is busted damage from my experience, fits when your energy starved nice filler and yeah the extra jump is clutch in duels vs hunters

Meld all the way. Even tho it doesnt drop combat, you can buy resistance potions in boralus 500-900 absorb and only 1-5silver per. Use the potion, pop meld, and the dots wont hit you until ure ready to fully stealth.

Yes, some ppl might find u but its worth it in my experience.
