Skill Capped recommends the following races for Restoration Druid PvP:
★PvP Verdict
Tauren is the superior choice for arena PvP due to War Stomp providing an additional 2-second AoE stun. This can be used to set up Cyclones, peel for your partner, or interrupt crucial casts. Night Elf's Shadowmeld cannot be used in combat, making it far less valuable in arena.
