Best Subtlety Rogue PvP Races
Alliance
Human
If you plan to choose Alliance as your faction for Subtlety Rogue in Mists of Pandaria PvP, Human is your best option out of both factions. Will to Survive is used as a trinket players can use instead of using the original PvP trinket purchased from the PvP vendors for Season 12.
Substitute Trinket
Will to Survive as a racial ability has identical effects as the current Season 12 PvP trinket, Malevolent Gladiator’s Medallion of Tenacity, which removes your character from any Crowd Control you are in. Having this racial be your substitute PvP trinket offers the opportunity to use multiple PvP damage trinkets, granting you additional throughput during your burst windows to your enemy targets.
Horde
Orc
If you plan to choose Horde as your faction for Subtlety Rogue in Mists of Pandaria PvP, Orc is your best option to choose from. Hardiness and Blood Fury provide strong survivability and throughput when in PvP combat, and is a strong competitor with the human racial. Most players will be choosing Human over Orc to have better optimization with gearing.
Hardiness Racial
Hardiness‘s ability grants a player passive 15% stun reduction. Stuns used on you being a shorter duration as well as the use of a PvP trinket allows you to slip away from danger quicker. This will assist in making your character more active during an arena match.
Blood Fury Racial
Orc is provided with an On-Use racial, Blood Fury, which grants Attack Power to you for a short amount of time. This can be paired with your burst cooldowns like Shadow Blades to increase your damage throughput on enemy players.
Alternative Subtlety Rogue PvP Races
Alliance
Night Elf
If you prefer a viable alternative instead of Human, Night Elf rightfully fits this criteria thanks to its iconic ability, Shadowmeld. This ability synergizes amazingly with Subterfuge, reacting as another way to re-stealth without having to run away in order to leave combat.
Immunities
Shadowmeld as a racial ability can immune any incoming projectiles, which includes abilities that require some travel time, Mortal Coil and Chaos Bolt, and can immune instant abilities, such as Blind and Kidney Shot.
Target Dropping
When Shadowmeld has been used, it will remove you as the target or focus target to prevent players from either attacking or stopping casts immediately.
Racial Passives
Nature Resistance acts as a passive 1% damage reduction from any spell in the Nature Category. Night Elf also has the passive racial Quickness, which gives a 2% chance for spells to miss including CC.
