• Cannibalize: When activated, regenerates 7% of total health every 2 sec for 10 sec. Only works on Humanoid or Undead corpses within 5 yards. Any movement, action, or damage taken while Cannibalizing will cancel the effect. This is a neat thematic addition to the race even if it doesn’t have a huge amount of uses.

Tauren

• Cultivation: Herbalism skill increased by 15. This trait can help you get a head start on making some money. Remember, there aren’t any World Quests, so professions are important!
• Endurance: Total Health increased by 5%. This could help anyone who is looking to play a tank and doesn’t have the best gear available.
• Nature Resistance: Nature Resistance increased by 10.
• War Stomp: Stuns up to 5 enemies within 8 yards for 2 sec. This stun can help a lot while tanking to manage pulling several enemies at once.

Trolls

• Beast Slaying: Damage dealt versus Beasts increased by 5%. A great trait for solo PVE content. This lets your pet do most of the work.
• Berserking: Increases your casting and attack speed by 10% to 30%. At full health the speed increase is 10% with a greater effect up to 30% if you are badly hurt when you activate Berserking. Lasts 10 sec.This trait alone makes Trolls one of the best races for the Horde in PVE content.
• Bow Specialization: Skill with Bow Weapons increased by 5. Hunter players should seriously consider how impactful this trait is. The higher skill means you’ll hit higher levels enemy more and increase your overall damage output.
• Regeneration: Health regeneration rate increased by 10%. 10% of total Health regeneration may continue during combat.
• Throwing Specialization: Skill with Throwing Weapons increased by 5.

That’s all of them! They were a lot different back then, and if you want to min/max, knowing which race to pick is essential.
