Human (playable)

Humans are one of the playable Alliance races in Turtle WoW.

The humans are the most populous and the youngest race in Azeroth. The humans have become the de facto leaders of the Alliance, with their youthful ambitions and resilience. The humans are the founders of the Alliance. Their diplomacy skills go back to the Second War, where the seven kingdoms joined together to defeat the Horde.

The humans were descended from Vrykul affected by the Curse of Flesh; instead of killing the weaker members of the tribe, some families escaped to start life afresh.

The humans revere the Titan Tyr, whose actions reflected his selfless nature, that sacrifice is required for justice. When Tyr decided to steal the Discs of Norgannon from Loken, a betrayer of the Titans, many titan-forged creations now cursed decided to escape with him. This escape led to a dramatic showdown between Tyr and two of Loken's greatest generals, in which Tyr sacrificed himself to destroy the enemy. Moved by this sacrifice, the vrykul decided to guard Tyr's resting place and settle in the new land--Tirisfal.

This loyalty and nobility in humans has led them to create massive armies and the Knights of the Silver Hand Paladin Order.

There are many books which cover the history of the Humans, including the inspiration for the events of the Warcraft Movie: Aftermath of the Second War, Beyond the Dark Portal, The Alliance of Lordaeron, The Dark Portal and the Fall of Stormwind, The Seven Kingdoms

Racials

Benefits:

 * Human Priests are a popular choice due to  The Human Spirit having good synergy with  Spiritual Guidance and providing additional mana regeneration.
 * Human Rogues are a popular choice due to  Mace Specialization and  Sword Specialization increasing your melee damage potential. These racials also benefit Protection and Retribution Paladins.
 * Human Warriors are also a popular choice due to  Mace Specialization and  Sword Specialization as the extra weapon damage from the racials will improve their threat generation.
 * Perception is a solid racial for PvP in detecting Druids and Rogues.
 * Diplomacy helps you hit Exalted faster on those reputation grinds--great if you are a collector interested in rewards like mounts.

What are the best Classes for Humans?

 * Humans usually excel with Melee classes in PvE because of  Sword Specialization and  Mace Specialization, so they make great Protection/Retribution Paladins, Rogues and Warriors.
 * Perception is a nice racial against Rogues in PvP. Human Rogues are especially good in PvP, as Perception grants them an advantage over enemy Rogues.
 * The Human Spirit gives healers an extra edge with Mana Regeneration in PvE, so this works nicely for Healing Priests and Holy Paladins.

Available Classes

 * Mage: Ranged DPS
 * Paladin: Tank, Healer, Hybrid Melee DPS
 * Priest: Healing, Hybrid Ranged DPS. Priests have two class-specific racials:
 * Desperate Prayer - Instantly heals the caster.
 * Feedback - The priest becomes surrounded with anti-magic energy. Any successful spell cast against the priest will burn 105 of the attacker's Mana, causing 1 Shadow damage for each point of Mana burned. Lasts 15 sec.
 * Rogue: Melee DPS
 * Warlock: Ranged DPS
 * Warrior: Tank, Melee DPS

Humans are one of two races that can be Paladins.
