So you've decided that you want to play Alliance. Now your next choice is going to be what race you are interested in playing. You are going to be looking at your character a lot if you decide to level it to eighty, so you should definitely pick something that is fun for you! However, it is also important to look at the racial bonuses when you are looking to get a character that is going to have a bit of an edge!
Humans
The advantages that Humans have is that they are going to have increased spirit and they will also have an +5 to their sword and mace skill. With the increased spirit, you will discover that rolling up a priest is a natural choice. If you are a class that is going to specialize in sword or mace, the +5 to the skills can be attractive. Humans also have increased stealth detection, but this does not come up as often as you might think.
Gnomes
Not only are Gnomes built smaller and are harder to hit, they can also get away from speed altering effects with their escape artist trait. This trait also allows a Gnome to cut back on the damage that is coming his way, and the +5 intelligence is perfect for mages or warlocks, as is the increased arcane resistance. When you are looking at professions, Gnomes get a +5 to engineering, which can be quite helpful.
Dwarves
Dwarves are the only race besides Humans on the Alliance who can also be paladins, but it is also important to remember that they are at a bit of a loss when it comes to agility. They have a stone form that can bulk up defenses, which is good if you want to play a priest. Dwarf hunters ha a +5 gun skill, and frost resistance can come in handy in PVE. Treasure finding is another dwarf bonus.
Night Elves
When you are looking around your server, you might find that there are many Night Elf hunters and rogues, and there is a very good reason for that. The dodge bonus that Night Elves get can keep you from getting hit in the first place, something that is essential for rogues and hunters. Night Elves also have a resistance to nature damage and they also have access to Shadow Meld, which drops their threat and can make surviving solo a lot easier.
Draenei
The newest Alliance race has a lot to offer. Gift of the Naaru gives the entire race the ability to heal, and because it can heal yourself or another person, it is quite handy. Draenei have an increased chance to hit, which is great for any class, and they are also resistant to shadow magic. In terms of professions, they also have a +5 to jewelcrafting.
