Choosing the Right Race and Class in World of Warcraft
Right from the get go, let's just say this: There is no such thing as the 'right' race and class.
For a lot of new players, choosing a race and class can seem to be an agonizing decision. After all there are so many races: Trolls, orcs, blood elves, undead, draenei, humans, dwarves, gnomes, night elves, and tauren.
On top of that there are tons of classes too: Paladins, shamans, priests, druids, warriors, rogues, mages, warlocks, hunters, and death knights.
Honestly speaking though, you could pick any race and class and make it work for you. Truth is that while some of the 'racial' skills are pretty useful for certain combinations (i.e. dwarves get bonuses with guns that hunters could use well), almost every race could combine with every class with decent effect.
End of the day, it all depends on your style of play and personal preference, which is why there is no one 'right' race and class that is going to suit everyone. Some people like tauren warriors for pvp due to their area stun. Others like gnomes with their engineering bonuses to help out with that trade skill.
Really, the big question that you should be asking yourself is what class you'd like to play. That can be a tough one - but just try to imagine what you enjoy doing, and pick a class that you feel would allow you to live out your dreams. Needless to say if one class doesn't live up to your expectations, you could always try others!
Once you've picked a class, you should then go over the various races and see if there's any race that catches your eye. Sometimes, you'll find that something stands out right from the start and causes you to decide on a certain race immediately.
At other times, after fooling around with the character generator you'll find a look that you really think would be great for your character.
All things said and done, you don't really need a great reason to choose a race. Just imagine what you feel you'd like your character to look like, and go with it. Almost every race has its own advantages, so you're not going to be 'left behind' due to whatever choice you make.
So long as you have fun playing, you could even be a gnome warrior (No joke! They're pretty mean!) and decimate your opponents with ease!
