They seem to forget about it, because its just not that game changing. I am sure it would hypothetically help here and there.
But the amount of crying over this racial as Zandy’s went live, was outrageous. People were constantly saying how it would literally break PVE/PVP. How everyone would be mass race changing to Zandy for both PVE and PVP. You were laughed at if you even mentioned that the Alliance would still have the best m+ racial.
That’s because they nerfed and balanced it.
If you actually know how to use it, it’s very powerful though.
They did not nerf it from the last time there was a mass “THIS WILL BREAK PVE/PVP” thread. AFAIK it has not been nerfed since going live.
Many racials are powerful if you actually know how to use it. And I am not debating that under very select situations it can be powerful. And I am fine with it being powerful under those select situations.
Rocket jump is powerful under select situations if you know how to use it. So is the spacegoat heal. So is the void elf weird semi-blink-sorta-thing.
I love the aesthetic of poppin’ bubble and using it. Gorgeous animation, and the duration of Regeneration is almost always in sync with bubble.
I love it.
Basically this.
It requires some competency to use properly, but it is definitely crazy strong for some classes in certain situations. Game changing, honestly.
This is mostly because as a racial it is not only on a SHORTER CD as the Draenei as a self heal but it does THE SAME amount of healing in 2 seconds that it takes 5 seconds for Draenei to do and it keeps going if you play smart AND it is only one of the Zandalari racials compared to THE Draenei racial.
Comparatively speaking…well there is no comparison. It is completely imbalanced but hey i guess if i played Horde more then i would say it’s perfectly fine too. I mean, why would any Horde say it’s NOT ridiculously imbalanced compared to its counterpart.
I’ll tell you when I get around to actually using it.
I’m currently power leveling my zanda pal. I used it last night on draenor for the first time since the vanilla zones, and I used it just as an unseen projectile reached me and interrupted it. So yeah, it’s fine.
Cool. I can’t wait to cast the zandy racial on a friend to save him.
It became a flavor racial when they made it a bandage that breaks on any damage. The draenei racial is superior
when i race change to zandalari bubble regen will be nice.
On my z-troll shaman it’s useful but not game breaking. It’s saved me a few times in PvP but I rarely manage to get the full spell off but even a tick or 2 can make a difference.
In PvE I’ve used it maybe two or three times.
There’s some synergy with Zand Paladins and Regeneratin’, where you can Divine Shield and then safely use it without spending Mana on healing.
…That seems to be about it, though.
I find it incredibly useful.
I play a mage so in pvp, i can pretty much get the cast of whenever i want, with sheep, frost nova, etc.
For pve, it’s a lot more niche. i usually use it during transition phases of bosses, if the healer died, or sometimes right after a mob pul.
It’s good if you know how to use it. but not gamebreaking by any strech.
I used it to solo a quest I usually need another person to do. Timed well, it can save the day.
Seeing as FotM lemmings didn’t swarm switch to it. I’m going to mark it as (Alliance) annoyance when utilized correctly and (Horde) helpful in niche situations.
My Zandalari usually has a DoT on him or some enemy attacking me. Haven’t used it once since looking at its animation when I boosted him.
I remember the Horde being way louder back when EMFH was considered OP. And of course Horde-biased daddy Blizz “fixed” immediately it for you guys.
Don’t worry. Alliance still have the overwhelmingly strongest m+ racial.
Still want the death laser for my normie goat.
