Best Race for Paladin in WoW Forever
Faction settles it: Human and Undead share S, and Undead is the only Horde race that can be a Paladin. Dwarf lands at A, a fair Alliance tank pick thanks to Stoneform's 10 percent cut to Physical damage taken for 8 seconds.

- AStrong One racial clearly pays this class back, with useful cover around it
- BSolid Something real for this class, either narrow in scope or small in reach
- CSituational Most of this kit pays out somewhere else, and only part of it reaches this class

Board breakdown
Human ranks first, with Ruthless adding 1 percent crit chance to every spell and attack, so it pays whether you tank, heal or hit. On Horde, Undead is the pick, trading that crit for Cannibalize, which restores Health and Mana from a nearby corpse.
Human and each other tile open a Paladin race card.
Undead Paladin earns S, just behind Human, though the original game never let Undead take the class. Will of the Forsaken clears Charm, Fear and Sleep once every 2 minutes.
Human brings crit and a stun break; Undead brings sustain and a Fear break. Undead's Touch of the Grave gives a Paladin a 20 percent chance to drain Health, but only from spells and attacks that deal damage, on a 15 second internal cooldown.
