Horde
Undead Mage
Undead Mage was already possible in Classic, but the Undead racials changed, so the old verdicts no longer apply. You start in Tirisfal Glades; your capital is Undercity.
Verdict
Will of the Forsaken keeps a mage casting through fears, and Touch of the Grave drains health with every spell. A strong PvP mage.
