Horde

Orc

Orcs keep Blood Fury, now buffing Spell Power too and without the healing penalty, and add Shatter Curse. Hardiness shortens stuns and Command still boosts pets.

Race description from the game

The orc race originated on the planet Draenor. A peaceful people with shamanic beliefs, they were enslaved by the Burning Legion and forced into war with the humans of Azeroth. Although it took many years, the orcs finally escaped the demons' corruption and won their freedom. To this day they fight for honor in an alien world that hates and reviles them.
