This guide was produced with:

• 5+ Rank 1

Alliance

Best race:

• Night Elf is the clear best option as Shadowmeld gives you an on demand re-stealth to stun a target with Rake or avoid big damaging spells like Chaos Bolt, Greater Pyroblast or even Touch of Death if timed well

Horde

Best race:

• Tauren is the clear winner with War Stomp being great in some situations but more importantly because Endurance helps you survive

ALTERNATIVE TALENTS

Guardian Affinity can be necessary to survive against set up based comps with high burst, such as rogue mage

Feral Frenzy can be used against paladins or mistweaver monks where you attempt to score kills on a single targeting during a set up – it also has great synergy with the Iron Jaws trait

Default

• Ferocious Wound
• Leader of the Pack
• Savage Momentum

Optional

• Thorns is great when facing melee cleaves in 3s or a single melee in 2s to either stop their pressure or create more for yourself
• Cyclone can be considered over Savage Momentum when playing with a paladin or mage for the additional crowd control on healers – it can also be used offensively on low health targets, to tank interrupts for your teammates so they can freecast and even as a defensive tool to help keep your team alive
• Heart of the Wild has great synergy with Guardian Affinity to help you survive against rogue mage and should be taken over Savage Momentum

Major

• Breath of the Dying – this is your best offensive major essence due to the low cooldown when used on targets above 80% or below 20%
• Conflict and Strife – should be used in matchups where you’re struggling to live or if you want access to Thorns along with 3 other PvP talents

Minor

• Breath of the Dying
• Conflict and Strife
• Memory of Lucid Dreams
• Vision of Perfection

BiS

• 3x Masterful Instincts
• 2x Iron Jaws
• 1x Gushing Lacerations

1. Gushing Wound – excellent choice to increase your damage for very little corruption
2. Devour Vitality – easy to obtain corruption found on An’zig Vra
3. Versatile – must be stacked in matchups where you’re struggling to survive
4. Surging Vitality – alternate pick to proc one of your best stats

• Writhing Segment of Drest’agath – great offensive option that allows you to instantly burst down your target to force cooldowns or score kills
• Corrupted Gladiator’s Insignia – great choice for the large amount of versatility and the high up time of the agility proc
• Remote Guidance Device – another trinket that can be used for on demand burst damage
• Corrupted Gladiator’s Badge – viable choice if you’re unable to obtain any stronger options
• Corrupted Gladiator’s Emblem – can be taken over your other options if you’re struggling to live and need an extra defensive cooldown
