+5 from 0 is a big difference, +10 from +5 isn’t nearly as big of a deal

I am only concerned if I will receive it as a warlock tank, I will want the sword skill when I claim Thunderfury as my birthright.
You picked Human just for the weapon racial when Aggrend explicitly told you before SoD launched that this was a bad idea. Who’s at fault here? Get serious!
Return windfury to horde only and we will agree to let you keep your stupid weapon expertise junk
You get two. And can freely swap for no cost from the sound of it.
This is definitely a nerf to humans let’s be honest, unless this is enough of a gold sink that the human racial represents a resource e save in the way Paladin and warlock mount do.
Literally the only reason I rolled human rogue was to play sword and mace spec. What a joke that when we finally reached the phase where it would be viable they reduced mutilates energy cost to 40 and now they are just giving weapon skill to everyone? smfh
Do humans get a bonus to a crafting profession to offset this? Do orcs?

There’s also the fact that Alliance racials were already weak and this nerfs the best Alliance PvE racial without any compensation. People don’t like being nerfed.

Orcs have their trinket thing, stun resist, and pet damage which was already vastly superior to anything humans got and now will have the best weapon skill. Humans are the only ones getting bit here.
I’d instantly swap out “human spirit” for hardiness

Did you forget that orcs also have “weapon expertise junk”?
Humans will still have 10% extra rep and Perception, which are both very strong depending on what you do. Wep Skill should have never been tied to a specific race, that’s why they went away from it so early on in TBC. Not being able to play a specific race/class combo just because of racials is horrible design and feels extremely bad, especially when the race you are being forced into is not one you want to play. If you want the racials to stay unique, then go play Era, that’s what its there for, this is an experimental season and this is one of the things they are experimenting with. If you don’t like it, then its not for you.
Also, they said from the very beginning they were going to do this, it wasn’t a matter of if, it was a matter of when.

Humans: aka perpetual diarrhea run gets you in raids and premium gear. No. This is good.

Yeah, we really do need a different racial if they are giving our weapon skills away to everyone.
My vote is every man for himself! Having birth trinket slots available in pvp would be amazing!

I dont buy this. No one identified Humans by their +5 to weapon skill.
homie two boxes some hunter one orc one cow. Somereason with same talents builds pets and levels. his cow hunters pet always beats the orcs hunters pet. You would think the extra dmg would change that but cows pet always seems to win
It seems like a trade for Alliance getting a leather wearing fear break.
So all the talk from Priests and Warlocks about Undead Rogues breaking their fears and Horde being lucky in that regard is no more. Alliance Rogues and Ferals will now break fear like an Undead.
I’m sure someone will note the 10 minute cooldown. Then they will watch streamers like Payo log into a Rogue every 10 minutes to use everything twice with prep. Well now Alliance Rogues can add a fear break to that list 
Amen.
Im not a lore expertise by any kind, but somehow I feel that this fits the role, same as axe skill for orcs. I cant formulate a lore argument in this reggard, but it feels right. Does that makes sense?
