Though Tauren are built strong...they are not the war bred like orcs. Yes Orcs do have a shamanistic background the Orcs history is filled with tribal warfare and then, let's not forget, infused with demonic blood. Where as the Tauren have led a predominant Shamanistic lifestyle. Hence, my treehugger comment earlier. But Blizzard keeps changing stats eack expansion on every race so certain races will get a new strength buff each time. I bet the next one you will find the gnomes to be stronger than anyone (sarcasm).

If you want to go for every other race (even unplayable ones) then Dragons over all. Even when in their different forms.

Trolls are the Twice of tall than Dwarves, do you think troll have more strenght than dwarves? ^^Well, its a difference if we talk about what race is considered as stronger when it comes to the story of warcraft and what race would be physical stronger in the real world.
I dont see how a Dwarf, who is half as tall as a Draenei and weigh half as much, would be physical stronger in the "real" world.
There is a reason why boxer are seperated in weight classes.
For exemple: In real life we are taller and heavier than chimpanzee, but they have the twice of strenght than us, is the robust/Inervation and body composition what matters, not the tall. Short arms does more LEVER than a longer one.
Taurens are diferent, they weighs 600 kg, this is already a big difference of size and weight, but the orcs and draenei don't approach to them, but Dwarf in stone form >>> tauren (But the last is only possible in fantasy games ^^)
And Humans slaughtered orcs, but orcs won against draeneis because the demon curse and in WOD for the new war machines.
In BC cinematic you can see a draenei smashing 2 fel orcs.

This rumor that chimpanzee are stronger than human is from a studie from 1926. There are more modern studies that come to the result that human and chimpanzee are equally strong.
Infact its quite hard to quantify the strength of a chimpanzee.
He is probably much stronger than a human when it comes to body tension because all the supporting muscles of a chimpanzee are trained and necessary for climbing.
When its about lifting weights I guess that a athletic human is stronger than a chimpanzee.
About troll vs dwarf: I agree that the dwarf would be stronger because trolls are too skinny.
A dwarf probably weigh more than a troll even when the troll is twice as tall.
However when it comes to Tauren, Orc and Draenei these races are not only twice as tall as a dwarf, they have also a high mass and big muscles.
When it comes to Worgen they are more skinny but they look as if they have the strongest body tension of all races.

I agree, i just mentioned that because of previous post, where he compared Draeneis to Dwarfs...
Peopce could argue about this for days because (in story) it's not defined which race is the strongest... but i guess that's what internet is for..

I'd say in WoW Warriors are the most brute class, taken from http://wow.gamepedia.com/Warrior?ver...9866245eec62f1 their base strenght is:
Tauren Tauren 28/ Dwarf 28
Orc 26/Worgen Worgen 26
Troll 24/Draenei 24
Pandaren 23/Human Human 23
Forsaken 22
Blood elf 20/Goblin 20
Night elf 19
Gnome 18
I find this a pretty decent accuracy aldo I would switch troll & Panda and Night elf and goblinEdited: October 20, 2015

Yes, I agree. I would put goblin 19 and Night elf 20, like the blood elves.

I'll clear this up really fast.
Physically, Orcs are the strongest with their bloodlust. (amplifies their physical strength, no question)
Tauren are 2nd with their stature and size, Orges would have similar strength
Followed by Trolls & N.Elves. Lanky, but skinny? More like toned and agile. There physical prowess and agility matches that of a feral druid. Unlike B.elves N.Elves didn't rely on magic for everything and I would say are physically healthier than every other race considering their homeland and diet. Not sure but i don't think elves can die from oldage/natural causes.
Humans & dwarves are all pretty much the same. While dwarves live in mountainous areas and harsh environments, this makes them rugged and in no way increases their physical strength. (however some dwarves would rival Orcs in strength, but the majority are as weak as the average human)
I don't rank Draeni very high for one reason; their advancement. The Draeni, while portrayed large they would physically be extremely weak considering they come from a society that is highly advanced, and based on the real world, they'd be fat and lazy. Deep space travel also would take its toll on them making them weaker physically. Look at Valen, he's a twig.
I would also say the same goes for the Bloodelves. They had a very lazy lifestyle and were pampered, they're very feminine and I would consider one of the weakest. (they even use magic to sweep they're so weak)
Worgen are dogs. Dogs are weak as ****. Why are you people rating them so high with physical strength? Orcs bite harder. Plus they're just humans. Wolves have incredible offense and a higher tolerance to pain, but I would say they have low strength defense/muscle-tone
Last is the Undead, Gnomes', & Goblins. The undead physically would be the weakest. (not considering any types of magic, they're 100s of types of Scourge & curses.) The playable undead lose jawbones & hold their heads together with ironbands. I don't think much magic is inplay with keeping them constructed considering the way so many scourge are patched/sewed.
The goblins are the only race I know to have been enslaved and are the shortest, and most likely the weakest. Also have a very luxurious lifestyle, would consider lazy and more intelligent and business oriented.
Some would consider Gnomes the weakest considering the goblins rugged personality and fight 'em mentality, but gnomes have the advantage of not coming from a lazy scumbag society. The average gnome is going to be more physically fit than a goblin.
(I understand Orcs were enslaved but that they were PoWs and Thralls enslavement was a special case. Goblins are the only race I know to be enslaved because they are physically weaker than trolls. )
Based off the lore and what I would call a "professional opinion", like i said about dwarves, applies to all races really, but this is based on an average for the whole race, even the ones who are not warriors. An Orc barber whose never fought a day in his life will physically be stronger than a human warrior whose fought his whole life and worked out. Orcs have the bloodlust; its a physical trait.
Tl;dr
Orcs
Tauren
Trolls & Nightelves
Humans, Dwarves, Worgen
Draeni & Bloodelves
Undead
Gnomes/Goblins

Don't get offended with my post, but In the lore (And in game) dwarves are much strenght than Trolls, orc and humans
I'm pretty sure that a dwarf can crush an orc in 1vs1 close combat (Without weapons). Even if a orc use their Blood lust power, they are still flesh and can't match stoneform.
Worgens have the same physical strenght than orcs, but they are more powerful. A single pack of worgens CRUSHED the Elite of Garrosh (Orcs, Magnataurs and protodrakes) in Wolfheart book, I don't know why you said they are weak as an human.
Do you think dogs are weak? try to beat this with your own hands:
You put Draenei in the same position than BLOOD ELVES???
You must be joking. A single draenei can kill two feel orcs (Who are more strenght than green orcs) easy:
https://youtu.be/IBHL_-biMrQ?t=114
And Orcs aren't strenght than a tauren, in warcraft 3 a tauren can solo 2 grunts!Edited: November 9, 2015

That was not a single pack of Worgens. That was the entire Gilnean army. It even had Genn Greymane. Did you even read the book? The reason why the orcs lost was because they didn't know how to fight Worgens yet since they were not used to fighting them.
As for that BC trailer...you're grasping too hard here. The Draenei didn't overpower the Fel Orcs, he smashed them with a warhammer to the head. Even a dwarf dies to an arrow to the head. The Draenei didn't over power them, he was simply more skilled martially. If Draenei were so powerful, why did their army lose to the orcs? Don't stretch things too much based on a trailer. Same people will say Pandaren > orcs based on a trailer, but Chen was using martial skills and not engaging in a strength vs strength confrontation.
As for orcs vs dwarves...the evidence is still hazy. I'd say they are equal.
Also in this thread, stop using in game models. All of them are downscaled. A troll standing upright towers over an orc, and I'm talking about non-Zandalari trolls. The trolls were strong enough to create an empire that spread to nearly the entirety of Azeroth. Even the Mogu respected them, and Mogu only care about strength.
