Alliance
Human Warlock
Human Warlock was already possible in Classic, but the Human racials changed, so the old verdicts no longer apply. You start in Elwynn Forest; your capital is Stormwind City.
Verdict
Ruthless adds crit to Shadow Bolt and Searing Pain, and Will to Survive breaks stuns from rogues and warriors. A clean, all-round warlock choice.
Racials by spec

Perception
Dramatically increases stealth detection for 20 sec.
Much better stealth detection for 20 sec. A PvP button against rogues and druids; it does nothing in dungeons or raids.
Will to Survive
Instantly removes all Stun effects.
Breaks every stun on a 3 min cooldown. The strongest PvP racial the Alliance has for anyone who gets stun-locked.
Ruthless
Increases your critical strike chance with all spells and attacks by 1%.
1% critical strike chance with spells and attacks, always on. Every damage spec likes it, and healers get more critical heals.
The Human Spirit
Spirit increased by 10%.
10% more Spirit: more mana regeneration between casts and faster health regeneration while leveling. Best for priests and other healers.
