Okay, so I know its not the first time this has been brought up, and it wont be the last. Recently I transferred to alliance temporarily to play with my brother. This was the first expansion I wasn’t an Orc warrior. I plan on transferring back, only I was considering playing Mag’har for the Heritage armor set.
The only problem is, the orc racial are so strong that I would be literally stupid not to go back to playing a normal Orc. I’m primarily a PVP’er when the rewards are worth going after and the advantages are just too great to ignore.
So the reason I bring this up, is because I don’t feel like its a good feeling to want to play a mag’har, but feel forced to play regular Orc, simply for the racial abilities. I feel like they need nerfed when players can’t play what they WANT to play because racial abilities are too strong.

If you feel forced by facials to play a certain race I think your doing it wrong

then you would not understand why 20% stun reduction in PVP is broken, along with blood fury +25% attack power. When I get HoJ’d on an orc, the stun is 4.8s, not 6. Thats a HUGE difference.
Man, that isn’t a typo you should make.

for example a typical storm bolt goes down to 3.2s from 4s…almost a full second reduction. I’ve lost Arena matches on the high end by mere globals. The orc stun reduction is broken in pvp.

then every person over past 110 yrs are doing it wrong.
racials are literally why their is a huge faction imbalance issue.
sure, not a thing anymore, but too little too late.
and they “could” disable racials in end game content (M+ and mythic raids) to balance both sides and make it a pure skill/teamwork fair playign field.

Horde racials have been needlessly nerfed into oblivion! Arcane Torrent did not deserve to be nerfed into a melee AOE purge! It needs to be an AOE silence again! That was the correct way to have our racial!
We still see Humans have “Ever Man For Himself”, and Night Elves use Shadowmeld as a racial vanish, which means a night elf druid who is being attacked has a get out of jail free card with flight form escape!
Horde racials keep getting nerfed! Stop asking for Horde racials to be nerfed!

Totally understand. This dude was an OG orc.
But look at how awesome this heritage armor is with the flail.
Yes, I leveled a second warrior for transmog.

Racials should be flavor, like +10% mount speed or no fall damage. No combat advantages whatsoever, period.
Ha, a human is whining about a stun racial.
adorable.
I lived through WoD, this is nothing. Suck it up.

But this wouldn’t actually help imo.
Alliance already has the advantage in m+ racials.
Raiding racials are pretty balanced.

they’re okay with nerfing EMFH to the ground when the horde cries about it, but all other Horde racials?
they’re a-ok

This racial is incredibly weak for damage output. One of the worst, actually.
No, It does not. That was stupidly strong.

Are you pretending that Horde racials haven’t been nerfed lately?

I didn’t say they weren’t nerfed you’re putting words where they aren’t.
I said that they’re okay with the how racials are now, despite significantly nerfing EMFH.
Racials in general need an overhaul, some racials plain suck or dont work at all on certain classes

I don’t know man, racials don’t seem significant enough to make a huge difference. Even in simming Dwarf, Blood Elf and Tauren all sim higher for my Ret build, I’m grateful to be a human.
This is the FotM mentality that is killing and homogenizing the game.
Racials should be buffed if anything. I’m all for the human and dwarf racials along with UD being buffed significantly like they were in the past. You know, back when both factions actively PvPed?
