So, I've got these shiny new BoAs burning a hole in my bags...
I want to get going on making an Alliance Arms Warrior, but I can't decide on race. I usually wouldn't ask for help on such a personal decision, but I really want to help get this bracket popping, in skirmishes and BGs.
I can never get past the character creation screen unless I'm sure I'm making an informed decision. I thought I'd check out the armories, but most of them are missing BoAs; that makes me think that those players have rerolled to another server. and have maybe changed race in the process.
I realize that a lot of what makes a race good is subjective and has a lot to do with playstyle, so I'll lay out some of my thinking, and hope I can get some good feedback.
Possibilities:
1) Gnome: lots of uptime because of racial (leaning this way), but I'm worried that the other races strength will scale much higher. Does any know if this is the case or not?
2) Dwarf has highest strength, and a really good racial, seems like another good option for new toons without double agm.
3) Human: seems to be the most popular choice, but I'm thinking a lot of those toons are old, and may not reflect the new racial changes. Still seems really good for double agm. Is the stam enough enough of a difference to make up for the lack of time on target vs other choices? Not sure.
4)Worgen: look cool, and are fast, but the two handed animations are really bad (not usually a factor), but seriously are they a good choice or not?
5) Oh yeah, Nelfs and whatever.
TL; DR: I'm a huge noob. What the best race for Alliance arms for bgs and skirms. Is racial starting stat scaling a factor?

gnome escape artist. would be good on higher levels, but on 29, there is not really much rooting going on, also you have 2x charges. i would say no.
human, a free extra trinket slot, can never be bad.
dwarf is a good choice, and better than human vs these:
shadowpriests devouring plague + swp
rogues evasion
feraldruids bleed, which he needs to have up to do more damage on shred and bigger chance to crit on bite. remove the rake asap and he will be behind from the start.
think i would go dwarf actually. if you chose human and get completely rediculously owned by a rogue just because of evasion, you might want to throw your computer and try dwarf.
(more likely you will drop warrior and go some other class but oh well)

Thanks [MENTION=236]cologne[/MENTION] . I just got str BoAs, so if I hate warrior at 29 can use some of this logic for a ret pally too (I think). And if I get eaten up by rogues, I can always make rogue or whatever. I just really needed to level up a toon to farm some dungeon artifacts real quick, so if this doesn't work out, oh well. But I wanted to make a toon that at least has the potential to be viable. Thanks again.
