Why are you a dwarf shaman?
Do shaman need nerfs?
Do dwarves need nerfs?
THERE ARE MORE HORDE GLADIATORS THAN ALLIANCE MY FRIEND DO NOT BE SO SILLY AS TO THINK THE ARENA IS SIMPLY THAT sET IN STONE BROTHER.
A racial trait is in the blood, not something you can simply choose. If you’re a belf palla and want tauren racials, you better find one and start making hybrids, moonguard would be the place to start.

So rep is a good reason to nerf a racial, but not a class or spec, as seen by the countless threads about that exact topic this expansion.
Consistancy is the hobgoblin of small minds.
why are you yelling?
People saying human is “as good” are just bananas. Human is hands down worse all around.
The human racial is a 3 minute CD that only removes stuns and shares a CD with the medallion.
The medallion is a 2 minute CD that removes everything.
A human would typically use the relentless trinket for the 20% stun reduction, turning them into a worse orc with no blood fury and no way out of fear/charm/incap/trap/disarm/silence.
It’s not a worse orc it’s different. Orcs only reduce stun and have a 2 minute trinket. Human can have minus 20% to everything and a 3 minute stun break. They are both pretty valid.
The huge faction discrepancy doesn’t come from pvp racials, it comes from ease of access to the current content. Most people play pve in wow and horde has the best racials for pve.
People who would play PVP can play either faction and have access to good racials. What someone on alliance doesnt have, though, is access to the pool of players that Horde has (because of PVE and good racials for that).
It just creates this degenerative cycle where the horde keeps growing and the alliance keeps dwindling.
I agree that the faction imbalance is nuts, but thinking PVP Racials are the reason for that is the most 5 IQ take ive seen on these forums in a very long time–and i was here for Abomb and December/Urie
Hate my orcs honestly, but the only char that isn’t is my demon hunter :/. Really want to transfer all my guys back to ally soon, hope this cross faction stuff ends up working as intended.
Blizz recently announced that all races in Dragonflight be able to be Rogue, Mage, and Priest classes (like how all races can currently be Warrior & Hunter).
This weirds me out more than cross faction. I get that there won’t be many tauren rogues but it still makes ZERO sense to me lol
Still weird how every race can be priest, but not paladin, when its literally the same thing

I’m having to seriously consider race changing to regular orc from my current mag’har orc just for that extra 20% reduction…its just so gamebreaking in this meta. The sucky part is I won’t be able to wear the boots and chest part of my kickass transmog (they’re the maghar heritage peices). Also, I like being a brown orc…sigh.
Paladins are Priests that lift.

I don’t think that’s been true for a while and I’d consider a pretty close spread of what’s best for each class/spec when it comes to racials. Nonetheless, they’re almost negligible when it comes to PvE to the point where you can ignore them for the most part unless it’s something like movement racials like Goblin’s.
Most people play Horde because it’s where there’s the majority, so more people keep flocking to the where the majority is. Utility and defensive racials are way more impactful in PvP, which is why [Hardiness] is so strong.
3mins is a very long time to wait for your CC break and its only for stun. what if you’re a healer and you get trapped or feared in a go and dont have a trinket? again orc is just the better option a huge percentage of the time.
FRIEND PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THE MEME OF “HAHA IM ONLY 3K RATED BECAUSE I AM AN ORC!” aTLEAST LEAD OTHERS INTO THE PATH OF BECOMING BETTER AT THE GAME AS OPPOSED TO RACE BLAMING.
Orc is better than human with Relent because orc gets the 20% shorter kill windows while retaining the flexibility of a trinket. Relent makes your actions scripted because you can only trinket out of stuns, and then that trinket is on a 3 min CD.
I think it’d be interesting if Will to Survive was changed to WotF but for incaps. This is not a good idea if it buffs human, but I’m hoping it’s more of a sidegrade. With how dominant mages always are it would be good for the game to have a racial that breaks Poly.
But of course there are issues with racials beyond orcs and humans. Like how hard would it be to increase how much Gift of the Naaru heals for in PvP?
Gift of naaru def should be a 30-40% max hp heal true. It would make alot of shamans consider it, especially if it was usable in stun.
This would be the important peice. However with stuff like ms effects and dampening? It would still be kinda low value I think…
To be honest, they need to change racials up completely. Make it be part of the talent system where you can choose which ones you want, or disable them in pvp, or just make all racials only quality of life perks like reputation boost etc.
They’re never going to balance them. There will always be a “best race” for such and such class. Players want to be able to OPTIMIZE their character AND play the race of their choice. For example I play maghar orc, but I can’t tell you how many arena games might have changed if I’d gotten out of a stun literally .5-1 second sooner.
