Being Bad in WoW: A Guide to The Horde
There are two factions that dominate Azeroth, the world of World of Warcraft – The Horde and The Alliance. The two groups are made of an alliance between 5 races on each side. The five races that make up the Alliance faction are the Humans, the Dwarves, the Night Elves, the Draenei and the Gnomes – what are known as the Good races of Azeroth. And on the Horde side sit the Trolls, the Blood Elves, the Undead, the Orcs and the Tauren – the Evil races.
Between the 2, Horde characters are just more fun to play. The two factions are constantly at war, so when you decide to start a character in the Horde make sure that any friends you have playing WoW are also in the Horde, or you won’t be able to even talk with eachother in the game.

The clanish Orcs are tough, brutes and vicious fighters. The Orcish racial abilities are Hardiness and Blood Fury, both of which are excellent fighting skills. Orcs were once a noble race, but were corrupted by the Burning Legion into the evil sods they are today. They are excellent fighters, but also can be great magic casters – particularly Orc Shamans are to be feared.
The Troll race are a vile, barbaric and violent race. The only race that trolls do not hate is the Orcs. It’s a lot of fun playing a Troll because they can regenerate – automatically healing from wounds, an excellet survival skill. And your berserking skill is useful for any fighter class.

The best Horde race to play are the evil elves – The Blood Elves. They are intelligent and noble in bearing, but determined to recover the kingdom and power they have lost at any price. They are excellent characters to play as magic casters – making incredibly powerful mages or warlocks. And if you play a Blood Elf you get a powerful racial ability which allows you to regenerate your mana while silencing other spell-casters around you. You also get a bonus to the enchantment profession.
The Tauren are huge, beast like creatures with hooves. They are powerful warriors, hunters and druids, very close to nature. The racial ability to stun those around them is a formidable natural skill to have. And their advantages to Herbalism means you really have to study this useful and profitable skill, which goes best with Alchemy.
Undead characters are strong and fun to play. Pure embodiments of evil, they are a group of undead created by the Lich King but broken free to make their own way in the World. Living in a city beneath the ground – called The Undercity. They have some powerful racial abilities like Forsaken: which removes Fear, Charm and Sleep effects. And a great fun ability is called Cannibalism – as an Undead you can eat corpss of other creatures to regain your own life force!
