Humans - nerfed overall, took away 1% crit chance (50% nerf), increased their spirit racial (100% buffed).
Dwarf - huge buff, 1% hit is way better than 2% crit dmg/healing, yes even for healers.
Tauren - nerfed, took away 2% crit dmg/healing, more plainsrunning speed (a gimmick at best, and in the same set of changes they give bird elves a more powerful movement speed buff on Horde side)
Orc - nerfed overall (again), took away 1% crit chance, gave them a more gimmicky racial for pet damage (I didn’t hear anyone complaining that hunters needed more pet damage, and anyways that just took away 1% crit from everyones pets)
Bird Elves- nerfed from 3% to 2% haste, which is a bit more reasonable from their previous +200% buff from the original 1% haste. . . Alliance now get a 1 hour buff that was increased by 100% effectiveness, and Horde get a 1 hour buff that was increased by 100% effectiveness.
The Horde Bird Elves 30% movement speed that persists through death seems totally overpowered. Functionally it’s way better than plainsrunning and it’s actually a slap in the face to Taurens.
How many nerfs are orcs at at this point now? 3, 4, 5? Also remove touch of the grave from the game completely please, 236 damage out of 10,000+ auto attack damage is an insult and I’d rather have nothing at all so you can’t pretend you did anything.
Overall your anger here is justified, please edit your post to remove this:
Otherwise, spot on.
Spitting on Taurens heavy with this one
Happy to see Dwarfs finally get some love
Human casters are prolly cleaning themselves up after reading that
Orcs everywhere are distraught; they went away from weapon stuff because it was too niche within the race, to something even more niche.
And why is the Alliance skyborne racial so much stronger than the horde one. For the love of god that mana regen is god tier, while Horde get a running buff.
A prime example of failed literacy. You misinterpreted everything about the Skyborne racial. Also, Humans didn’t get nerfed or buffed. It’s a sidegrade as Spirit takes on increased importance in Forever.
Taurens didn’t get nerfed at all. They literally have a free normal mount from level 1…
Do you know what at all means? In order to not be nerfed at all they would have had to have lost nothing. They lost their hit, and crit damage bonus, and mount speed bonus. Losing three things =/= losing nothing at all. They literally stole their racial and gave it to the whiny dwarves who famous for being so stoic and tough. Whom also get to keep their immunities along with their gnome friends.
Removed the hit % from tauren and go add it to dwarves?
Makes zero sense.
Would be nice to see an entire rework of all racials to somewhat balance the factions and not make specific races more desirable over others. This has always been a problem.
Arguing “lore” also makes no sense. How does “human perception” make any sense? That is more of a class related ability, there is no reasoning to making humans completely overpowered against stealth classes.
Either way, alliance is heavily stacked with racials its ridiculous.
As soon as all tauren druid dungeon groups form because they’re faster in stealth than every other class is on foot out of stealth, everyone is going to cry like they did when mages had a better group comp than they did.
Touch of the grave is if like my level 5 Tirisfal Glades self came in and did a sinister strike with the starting dagger once or twice an hour then I drank one of the stat squished healing potions that don’t give any health lmao.
Im at a loss currently with blizzard. The whole point of Forever is to let people play what they want. They clearly dont want people to play horde. there is 0 reason to play tauren now, I was so excited to play a tauren druid. warstomp is great, dont get me wrong but its only applicable in pvp. it effectively is useless in pve. I hear people talking about how strong plainsrunning is now, but it is not. 3/4 of the classes that can be tauren have their class speed mechanics, entirely pointless out of pvp. Blizzard CLEARLY does not know where they wanted to take these racials. They change their mind every week about these racials. leaving gnomes as they are is obvious favoritism, they think nobody wants to play alliance ig. cant think of any other reason why they have made these decisions. After players hit lvl 60 plainsrunning is a dead racial and will be by far the worst race in the game. The only reason to play tauren now is to grief in pvp as a ranged class or play a tank, which dwarf is still better at
