As others have said, some racials become “required” at high end M+ but they are not useless for mid-range keys (5-15). Say you’re a tank and the boss just put a nasty bleed on you. Your healer can dispel it but they happen to be dead. If you could just cleanse that bleed off yourself, you can live and win the day. If you’re a DH or druid tank you don’t have the option of being a dwarf.
Having said that, the new TWW tank philosophy appears to be that you should be dependent on the healer.
It is what it is. What I did is find a guild that doesn’t care, and if we want to do M+ we can, if we want to push, we can, and if we don’t, we don’t. My point though, was arguing racials because your group only min-maxes is not a racial issue, it’s a group issue.
whatever you say, sunshine. and i agree, min-maxing makes things easier, but no, it’s not required for any level of gameplay in wow, no matter what you might think.
While this chart is showing the top 0.1% (title earners) it does continue to trickle throughout anyone who is playing this game at a more competitive level. People will mimic what they see, they will play the meta. Dwarf and Night Elf are the meta.
Remember, Blood Elf racial was nerfed/reworked for being too strong. This should carry over to the other races.
For what reason? You can have this even in a better form as Monk (Class Hall > Dalaran), Vulpera, Mage (Teleport), Dark Iron Dwarves (Mole Machine) or Druid (Class Hall Portals).
