  • Night Elf Druids: The existence of Night elf druids goes back further than most races. Early in their history, Kaldorei learned druidic arts from the half-god Cenarius and the original teachings are honored and passed down by the most devoted elfs. Having lost their immortality post the third war, the Night Elves nevertheless offer several fascinating racial and retain an extreme connection to nature.

The racial which increments your mobility velocity by 75% while dead is the Wisp Spirit. You can only use this ability in open-world scenarios as it is useless in arenas or battlegrounds.

Elusiveness is the racial (non-human races) that decrements the probability of being found out if you are in stealth (invisible) or Shadowmeld. Other useful racials are: Quickness - decrements ranged attacks by 2%, Nature Resistance - has a similar effect as the Tauren passive. 

Shadowmeld has various eye-catching effects. First, it makes you invisible (stealth), provided you do absolutely no movement. This effect is very useful in Player vs. Player and almost gives you an advantage over your opponent as the little droplets of time earned can be used to interfere with a channel effect or a spell being cast.

  • Tauren Druids:  They were first instructed in Druidism by Cenarius according to the myth Forestlord and the First Druids. Cenarius’ best student and the first mortal druid was Malfurion Stormage. Malfurion has made friendly bonds with Hamuul Runetotem during the war and imparted to him the knowledge of druidism. The Tauren are fearsome beasts who are bonded to nature very strongly. They come up with various racial for Player vs. Player duels that strengthen their overall endurance capability.

The Nature Resistance decrees the probability of nature spells harming them to 2%. Then comes Cultivation which provides a racial (non-human races) which can be used as a guide for your profession(occupation) choices.

Endurance increments the base health (also known as HP) by 5%. On the other hand, the War Stomp is a stun(shock) that loses its effects after two seconds and lasts only two seconds, which helps to increase durability(endurance) in do-or-die situations.
