So Kaden and I just hit 55 last night, and are planning on making our DKs. We're probably gonna stick to Alliance. Any suggestions as to race? Explanations as to why would be most beneficial.

Alliance PvP
Human - with perception and a free trinket break of any loss of control of your character this will definately be the way to go, with gnomes trailing behind.
Alliance PvE - Tanking
Night Elf/Dwarf - -2% chance to be hit by melee/ranged helps NE’s excel in tanking and dwarfs are close behind getting 10% to armor, however that 10% is only multiplicative on toughness, considering they both are specced fully in.
Alliance PvE - DPS
Human/Draenei - +3 expertise in Maces, Swords will allow humans to dish out more damage, Draenei will get +1% to hit and that buff goes to others as well, close tie here.

What about Horde? What suggestions would you have there?
Death Knights - Waffuru - 04-05-2009
Why play Horde? =(
Troll for DPS, Tauren for tanking, Undead for PvP.
Death Knights - Vad - 04-05-2009
Let me know what Server you guys start on, I'll join you.

Only if you intend to spec Unholy. Plus Orcs are fuck ugly.

Doesn't matter, Belle's entirely correct. The orc activated racial is THE BEST pve dps racial in the game for every class it can be on. The Troll racial is entirely useless. Entirely. You WILL NOT get to use it. You will almost always be healed too quickly (even from the self regen) before Rampage matters or you will be using it with a mediocre boost (netting you a much lower gain than Blood Fury from orcs). Even if it works and you aren't bothered, it WILL NOT do more dps than Blood Fury adds, even if you somehow stayed at 1% health with it activated and somehow didn't die.
For pvp, I'd say UD, but Tauren and Orc are really good choices too.
For Alliance side, you were pretty dead on with all your choices. Escape Artist, while good, is pretty much shit now with Humans having that same racial folded into their much better racial. NE is really good for pve due to the Elusiveness AND the Nature Resist (which is no longer Resist, per se, as in they don't have to randomly gear Penetration to break through it, its now hit miss chance so they can gear more hit). I'm saying this as a druid who his hit capped for pvp, and yet has a huge pain in the ass time trying to land nature spells like cyclone on an NE, or even to hit the NE guy with a physical CC like Maim even. Its a miss both ways.

But Trolls get mohawks. noob.
edit: I am totally aware that the Orc racials are better, but I am racist against them.

Who plays Troll? Seriously.
Death Knights - Belle Hibiki - 04-05-2009
The only plus side to trolls is that their /silly is the best set ever.
Death Knights - Vad - 04-05-2009

You obviously don't understand the power of mohawks.

Trolls 4 lief

Well, I made a Draenei DK. I really hope it goes well. My biggest draw toward humans was the +Rep gain, since I don't really wanna grind for rep, but oh well. The +ToHit will be nice, as well as my heal.
