Troll -- + 5 throwing waepons is UBAR!

Seriously though... undead, orc, human and NE all have pretty nice racials for rogues. But overall racials don't matter that much.

The orc racial is great in PvP (stun resist), but not so much in PvE. Human racials are pretty nice for a rogue not using daggers, with the +5 they get higher to-hit% and crit% on those weapons, plus perception helps if you know there are other rogues around. NE adds some to dodge, which is nice sometimes, but you have to start in Teldrassil.

But racials aren't critical. They're nice little bonuses that help some. Rogues are pretty powerful in most types of play so that racials aren't really a make or break kind of thing.

Probably right, but I've never heard people get as upset about racials as they did about Will of the Forsaken (which I think took some kind of hit lately).

If you are going to roll a rogue, at least don't roll a Night Elf.

There are more Night Elf rogues in my server than horde.

WOTF is still pretty useful. It got changed from a 30 second immunity to Fear with a 2 minute cooldown to a 5 second immunity with a 3 minute cooldown.

Troll. That way all the little kiddies can't complain that xyz racial is too powerful, all the troll racails suck beyond belief.

I don't have a rogue, but if I did I'd be a gnome, a female gnome, with pink hair. Nothing like getting owned by a little girl with pink hair.

Gnomes ftw.

My rogue was a female Orc, just because they look kickass. They look like vampires.

Berserk rocks for sword/mace rogues.
