(A) Preparing for TBC Arena - what Race/Proff?

I might level an Alliance toon for TBC Arena. I'm having difficulty choosing between Mage. Warlock and Druid to a lesser degree. Since I've been playing Horde and melee classes almost exclusively I don't know what to pick.

What is the best Race and Profession combination for Warlock/Mage? With TBC arena as the only activity in mind.

Warlock/Druid was the supreme team-up for BC arenas.

Why level alliance for tbc arena's lol.... Only WoW I play really is tbc arena's and all the good players mostly go horde because WoTF is just too good in tbc. Also orc is the best for warrior because the stun resist is crazy good. This isnt retail where you have a billion outs for every CC done to you, unless you are a paladin with bubble when you get CC'd you are stuck unless you trinket so that's why WoTF is so important.

Stun resist gets nerfed to 10% in TBC.

*15% and you can bring it up to 35% with Warrior, even 36% if there's an innate 1% resistance.

So there's no point in rolling alliance at all for any class?

dont listen to this clueless guys, both horde and alliance have their meta comps, i ll list them here ( if what yo ure looking is for META COMP ofc).


Druid/warrior (alliance ) : Nelf/ Gnome
Pala/Warrior (alliance) : Dwarf/dwarf
Druid/rogue (Horde) : Tauren/Ud
Priest/rogue (Horde): Ud/UD
Pala(retri)/ shaman (Horde) : Be/orc
Shaman/warrior (horde) Orc/orc
Warlock/druid (Horde) : Ud/tauren
SP/ Mage (Horde): Ud/Ud


but still a lot of this combinations would work as good or even better as for secondary alliance races against some combos , Aka LD in alliance ( Nelf/gnome) or Priest/warr in alliance playing doubble Dwarf or Gnome/dwarf.

This is nothing new there have been plenty of private servers and research about meta in tbc for combination /races. if you have any doubt and i can answer just write it here. Refrain from listening to people past experiences of " IN RETAIL I DID THIS OR THAT". Aka the famous HUMAN MASTER RACE PERCEPTION LOL.
