Races! Why does no one talk about it?

Wow Pvp most definitely have a lot of outliers that needs to be balanced, especially when it comes to classes. Still the reality is that most of these balancing changes usually gets thrown out of the window as soon as an expansion releases.

What remains somewhat constant is racials, whether it’s on use or passive. I’m not trying to say that some racials should get nerfed but there are a lot of races that I think are lacking by a lot.

What I’m trying to get to is that Blizzard should look at them as a whole again and change them to better suit pvp/pve.

Questions that I ask…

For example why play a mag’har orc over a normal one.

I’ve never seen someone use a Vulpera yet.

We have trolls and Orcs with a use racial and passive anti cc one but they’re both treated the same.

Why play anything besides a nightelf rogue.

Personally we can all play what we want but it would be nice to not feel like you’re griefing yourself a bit by choosing a race you want to play as.

We’re good into Demonology and literally nothing else. :sob:

I don’t feel like racials are actually as big of a deal as most of the player base makes them out to be unless you’re playing in the 1% obviously they make a difference but I don’t feel at least from a PvP perspective they don’t make as great a difference except in min maxing

There are comps where it’s definitely ideal to one over another but if you are just grinding ladder it’s not huge like people make it out to be with like NE Druids being an outlier

Most people generally dislike vulpera.

Races DO matter, but not until you’re ready to try really hard. If you want to try really hard, you should play meta races. If you don’t really care, play whatever you want.

That is true, just sometimes you make something like a void elf rogue and ask yourself…why? I guess it’s more of a mental block if anything.

I can name some cases where I know I lost because of shadowmeld but that’s about it.

People talk about it all the time

Thing is, the horse is so dead already people are kicking the bones at this point

I play whatever race I like. I’m not good enough for it to matter honestly. Get my mog, maybe the enchant if I really like it but I play whatever race looks great with the current mog. I tend to switch races a lot.

Cause talking about stuff like that here is bound to catch a perma

Racials have been a big discussion for WoW PvP for quite while now. Gets talked about a decent amount.

idk a rogue kidney dueled me, stacked flag and symbols and lobbed a corrosive vial for 32k and i was stressed

13

That just sounds like BM to me.

14

The lowest effort and most balancing fix would literally be to just disable racials in instanced PvP combat

15

I think I’ve only ever gotten like 5 kills with it, lmao. :dracthyr_love_animated: :dracthyr_blob_dance_animated:

Shadowmelding instant cc like stormbolt might be a high level move.
But any idiot can shadowmeld cyclone or a big chaos bolt go, which is going to be a huge deal at any rating.

17

gently rocket barrages you for 10k

18

I’d be okay with my vial hitting for even less if I got 1% passive secondary.

Just pool all racials into a point system and let use choose one activate one and one passive one also let us change them.
