all of these changes are unbelievably cursed lmao. I’m not going to make any personal insinuations here but maybe have a different dev take a look at racials rn.

F. Seriously. We didn’t feel like spending the time it would take to balance racials so we’re just going to nerf everything so they don’t matter at all. Human, orc, and alliance skyborne should have been the target to bring everyone up to. This is disappointing. Horde is even worse off now. And tauren can run at mount speed after 3 minutes of running? I’m so confused.

Do we know yet even if UD and Human Racials share with PVP Trinket? Would be nice for them to officially communicate that.
It makes no sense, 60% run speed buff, for a race that has 3(out of 4) classes that already have movement speed abilities, its such a bizarre choice. Warriors are the only class that really benefit from it. Plains Running should have been like the Night Elf speed modifier and just been a flat 1% movement increase or something. And Endurance should have been left alone.
Orcs were fine, should have left it alone.
Dwarfs came out best with a fair and proper change.
Overall Tauren and Orc came out the worst.

Ok so essentially if you didn’t plan on getting ported every 15min skyborne is the same for ally? Just have to keep the 1 hour buff now.
Yeah that change just promotes some really degenerate gameplay of leaving the raid every 15 minutes to get your buff back lol. And horde skyborne is nerfed. lol
I mean human is now hands down the best race for all healers with that spirit change that can be human…maybe most casters if mana ever becomes an issue.

Skyborne druids will be the meta class for hunters and druids, watch it.
Effectively Perma double mana regen is stronk.

So they made the horde skyborne racial ridiculously OP in PvP and the absolute best for leveling. It needed to be improved but this isnt the way. This and the Tauren change fundamentally breaks one of the friction points of vanilla - slow traveling speeds. It also breaks the uniqueness of certain classes that overcomes this friction points after 20 levels.
Also having to always attune every hour is going to be annoying as heck for both sides.
Just make the horde racial a sprint thats insta cast like the Worgen one. The nerf to Read Ley Lines is warranted but reversing the nerf via a 1 hour buff you are always going to have to hunt down like a junkie looking for a hit is not great gameplay.

honestly i have no idea why they changed human. nerfed melee but buffed caster. its so wierd. asking the devs to touch racials is a monkey paw. which is why i told people to stop complaing at the the changes came out on the 15th
why TF are we making people fast AF this is so strange and its going to feel so bad watching mountless people actually race by you not just taurens but elfs too so so weird

What kind of changes are these? We understand you ruined balance in Retail with racials, but why are you doing the same thing to us? Ally Skyborne retaining an insane mana regen while Horde get a move speed, like what is happening? At the last minute you are basically telling guilds to really re-evaluate what faction they play.

No actually this removed it. Now u just want the buff for double regen and duration. Still won’t be stopping me from solo healing 10mans lol.
Its even better though. Read Ley LInes is still too strong. In fact its stronger now because it lasts an hour but on the flip side the Horde ability breaks pvp. Perma 30% speed on a rogue or warrior with no downside? Yes please. Both changes broke more then they fixed.

The Sky Elf mana regen racial is too strong. It should be weaker, but it should also be the version that Horde and Alliance Sky Elves have if they have mana. Classes without mana (rogue, warrior) should get the movement speed version of the racial instead. Have it be class specific, not faction specific.
If i’m being completely honest the entire design of this racial ability just makes no sense.
It’s essentially a reintroduced world buff for a new race in a game without them. You go out into the world and get a 1hr buff that lets you either gigaboost your regen every 2 minutes or have a rogue sprint every 2 minutes.
