Forever race tier list
Choose a class and build to rank every race it can be by simulated damage. Talents, rotation and the fight stay fixed; the simulator chose each race’s gear for that race.

Racials are partly modelled
Some racials are only partly modelled, and one the simulator leaves out can matter more than the gaps below. Treat this as a snapshot of the current model, not advice on which race to play.

Mage build
Frost Mage
3 races · 11 / 3 / 37 build · 0.81% between the best and the last race
Level 60 against one level 63 dragonkin with 3,731 armor · 5 minutes · single target · the same gear without its Tier 1 set bonuses.
Bands use the gap behind the best race. A race marked tied overlaps another race’s 95% interval, so the simulation cannot put the two in order, and its rank counts only the races that beat it beyond that range. A tie covers simulation randomness only, not mechanics the simulator may model wrong.
