Alliance Racials - Worgen

Community General Discussion

So, Darkflight is pretty neat and all that. But isn’t it just a little underwhelming for the only monsterous race on the alliance?

Shouldn’t worgen have some kind of big offensive racial to make up for the alliances lack of noticably damage-oriented racials?

I was playing on vanilla earlier, and realized the only real option I had for a dps racial was playing a gnome caster. I think? not super familar with alliance passives.

So that made me think about live, and the plight alliance clearly faces when even among the allied races I could only think of really 2 non-defensive active racials.

I mean, the obvious theme here is Defense vs Offense. Alliance are defensive, horde are offensive.

But when the name of the game is killing things…

yeah. I know this is bound to devolve into people crying about horde bias, but I was just wondering why for example the vicious worgen, for example, don’t have a dps active racial. I know they get crit passive or something.

Yeah its pretty lame that speed racial when you have the void elf one that is like 100% better.

They should just change it for something more agressive.

I think Worgen should also get a “Feed” racial that works similar to Cannibalize, but can be used on beasts and critters. They should also be able to eat most types of lootable raw meat.

On that note, I’d like to see Forsaken racials either reworked or buffed.

Passive racials are boring.

With new Allied races getting newer more interesting abilities, older races look bad by comparison.

As long as it’s not void-related I’m ok with new forsaken racials.

I don’t hate will of the forsaken though. Or cannibalize. So I wouldn’t really trade either of those…

Yeah but the active one is really good for pvp. The fear or other stuff remove.

I love cannibalize tbh , its the only reason that makes me feel like a true forsaken.

Half of each faction should have offensive racials, half defensive.

But you point out the obvious. The game is about killing things.

Giving worgen a dps cd racial would be cool. Maybe copy the troll one but instead of haste they get crit chance?

That would be cool. A crit racial. Might be op depending on what % lol. The new models on worgen actually improved their cast animations too actually. Been thinking of making a worgen shadowpreist.

I know im going to be alone on this, but worgen shouldn’t be worgen 100 percent of the time. Worgen from should be the racial ability and it should give a substantial buff to mainstat when in it. Of course, they can come out with an item or glyph that makes them appear in worgen mode perma for the furries that wish to remain looking that way.

That’d be pretty cool too. Make the transformation like a cooldown.

It underwhelms me that they don’t get on all fours. Like the tooltip makes this mention that it “activates your true form” and all you do is jog a little faster.

I mean, that’s their racial mount though. But yeah. You should defeinitely use some variant of the Wild Sprint or w/e animation while darkstride or darkflight or w/e is active.

Yeah, haha. I intentionally didn’t add a number because crit chance is really good. Maybe crit damage would be better. A cd that only gives 5% crit chance would be kinda underwhelming. 20% or so crit damage would be nice though.

Ah blizzard why can’t you have fun ideas anymore.

While they’re at it they should let worgen hide their weapons so they can claw their enemies to shreds. Who wants to be a werewolf that doesn’t use their claws?

Doesn’t matter what they add on Alliance.

Free Trinket and a good ol reputation boost is hard to beat for me.

Plus the human secondary stats racials does scale rather well later into expansions.

I have some ideas for both Worgen and Undead racials.

Worgen

  • Darkflight movement speed increased to 60% from 40%.
  • Darkflight duration reduced from 10 seconds to 8 seconds.
  • Darkflight total travel time increased from 400 to 480 basically. Worgens are very fast and aggressive race and having a racial that only increases by 40% make no sense to me.
  • Flayer allows worgen to skin without having a Skinning Knife.

Personally, I think their movement speed needs more oomph to be a wild running werewolf. Especially when it comes to be comparing to Vold Elves that can displace themselves yards away in practically an instant with proper setup.

Undead

  • Touch of the Grave does Shadowfrost damage from Shadow.
  • Touch of the Grave proc rate increased by 15%.
  • ADDED: Forsaken Advance - PASSIVE: You cannot be slowed below 60% of normal speed.

The problem with undead is that since they have Cannibalize which is overshadowed by Regeneratin’ as well as Will of the Forsaken which is a bootleg worse than EMFH, Forsaken needs more than just Touch of the Grave and Shadow Resistance to make up for these lackluster racials.

So I made a really good passive called Forsaken Advance which is a little bit worse than Death’s Advance but accessible for all undead classes. If you’re already a DK, investing in Mastery should reward the Undead DKs as much as it rewards Void Elf Death Knights to compete against Entropic Embrace as Touch of the Grave is now made Shadowfrost Damage and procs more often as it is also generally a buff towards all other undead classes who isn’t a DK.

I love darkflight, but what if they changed it to a racial version of heroic leap? Maybe have the talent included that gives you a medium speed boost for 3 seconds after using it.

I mean, it would be really easy to just give them “Bestial Fury” and rename the hunter ability. Have it increase all Damage and Healing dealt by 10% for 8 seconds on a 1 minute 50 second CD. I feel like that would be completely fair
