Does it appear to be relevant for Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Mage, Warrior, or Warlock?
i never played the race before

They’ve been nerfed pretty hard. The main utility will now come down to who wants double jump to mitigate knocks, and gliding for classes lacking slowfall.
The visage regen will also be nice for classes lacking out of combat healing unless it’s nerfed too.
Biggest winner imo is going to be lock and rogue. For both, the glide is nice for vertical word content, and for lock specificially, glide can be used to instantly “negate” knockback by cancelling any backwards momentum. Priest was on this list too for glide reasons, but since they have levitate and the movement speed portion of glide was removed for non-evokers, I’d say the glide is meh for priest.
The 2nd reason is going to be biggest ticket item for a lot of content imo is going to be the Health Regen in visage out of combat. For Rogues, free stealth heals! Locks and hunters lacking out of combat recovery will benefit massively, and worth mentioning that this out of combat healing is for the PARTY as well which is beneficial when healers need to drink after pulls in M+. Not sure if its going to be “meta” as at 2% per second for 5 people during a drink is only like 20%, but any bit helps.

I’m going dracthyr warrior. I’m thinking about the wing buffet into charge and the tail swipe for an extra interrupt.

I was going to switch on my Hunter (for some reason), but the nerfs to the racials make it less appealing. I like the aesthetics of it though, so I may ignore the “racials” side of it altogether.

I was switching for the knock back alone, because in Blitz you can’t have too many of those. The glide/knock protection is icing on the cake. I couldn’t care less that the glide is now slower and that they lost tail swipe.

prevent to be knocked out so yeah it’s really useful against any class that can knock

Another benefit to rogue will be the ability to do knockbacks out of stealth.
Also I think hunters will be able to milk glide either before or after disengage to jump further gaps.
Honestly I think the glide is pretty decent for mage and priest as well even though they have slow fall because now you can actually control your character while slow falling. Ranged specs with more instant casts will probably benefit the most from glide.

Honestly I might cry
Was kinda hoping they would remove glide but keep the fun cooldowns. And maybe do a racial rework across the board so specs like nightborne ever see play anywhere.

From around 50% ms boost to around 20% ms boost. Its still very relevant

going anything other than night elf on a rogue or feral is insanity imho.
Yeah I wished racials weren’t a thing in PvP. I’m playing a Tauren rogue right now for fun, but boy do I miss fireblood on my rogue.

Back to troll!
Twas alright with the extra knockback and free slow fall, but I made many mistakes due to gliding in combat or ruining disengages lmao
