Racial balance needs to be included in tuning

I’d like to believe i am one of those people who don’t see race. However, it becomes very difficult to do so when a few races stand out above the rest! If you pvp and don’t want to look like a noob you play orc if you can. Alliance side is similar with human. If the orc racial became a 2 minute cooldown that reduced the next stun on you by 20 percent (undispellable perma buff) it would probably still be the best race for anybody that can play orc on the horde…think about that for a second.

When it comes to mythic plus from my understanding night elf is leagues above the rest of the races with the ability to completely skip packs and preventing a full wipe (each death is 5 seconds). On the horde side the best seems to be blood elf aoe silence getting a lot of value even for classes who can dispel normally.

It seems like blizzard spends so much time balancing specs numbers to prevent everyone in the game from wanting to/actually playing that one or two specs. They completely forgot that has already happened to their races. It just makes the game less alive you see sooo many of the same races, when there are so many cool options to choose from.

This isn’t when vanilla released, and everyone (included myself) just picked what ever class/race combo looked cool to them. Gamers are no longer like that, everywhere you look you’ll find someone videos talking about what class you should play. You’ll read comments in forum posts, or twitch streams asking what’s the best healer to play, what’s the best melee to play for pvp, etc, etc. In conclusion racial balance is of upmost importance in today’s world…of warcraft.

25% reduction of a 1 second stun is, 1/4th a second off, so a .75 sec stun.

In a 2 second stun it’s half a second off, or 5 tenths.

Not that game breaking, is it?

Maybe not game-breaking but I’d say that’s pretty dang good.
Turns a 4 second stun into 3 seconds, giving you a whole extra second sooner to react, and that’s on EVERY stun.

I don’t think racials are that big an issue right now, but Orc racials are very good.

Why are you bringing up these old wounds, which still haven’t fully healed? We haven’t had an AoE silence since Legion, because - you guessed it, mythic plus dungeons.

Blizzard, please stop trying to make WoW an e-sport game. It ruins creates a myriad of class balancing issues.

Edit: sad face :sob:

i meant to say aoe dispell whoops.

Arcane Torrent isn’t that powerful. They maybe give us a a rare something each expac. This time around it’s Plaguefall and those slimes. Last time was the Zuul fight. Makes me feel super important occasionally. But it’s not that big.

Priests can AoE dispel on a shorter CD.
