Man those threads were so awful. If I remember it devolved into another “horde bias” thread. That entire raids would race change for the free heal. Then they complained about the loas Ztrolls got to pick despite people telling them how minor they were
Looking back it’s pretty funny. Ztrolls racials are underwhelming to say the least, but the glider is fun and I look great in plate. I was all about that mog
After still having to deal with planning my fall damage trying to navigate that pyramid…I am insanely jealous of a racial glider.
Sure I can buy them. But. I forget things easily.
And more than once I have jumped off a high cliff, hit my glider keybind…just to see that I hadn’t realized I was out.
Clearly blizzard made our main city for that glider to be OP. Blizzard making more broken horde racials
Racials are just spice of life, not sure why they need be Op. As for the topic, it’s pretty strong in PVP. All you need to do is escape and by yourself about 8 seconds and you’re good.
I can hear it now… “Whoa Whoa Whoa guys! Hey, give me a few, k? I need to take a breather… tick tock, tick tock… taps foot waiting… HA, FOOLED YOU!!! FULL HEAL!!!”
Its literally never useful on my hunter who for bosses does not have a useful defensive most of the time anyway (ancient hysteria). Most healing intesive sections are constant ticking damage which means you don’t even get ONE tick. If you get bursted for 90% of your health and don’t take damage for 30 seconds or whatever it doesn’t matter if you can heal yourself. You’ll be full health from just Rejuvs or whatever.
I keep forgetting i even have it on my Zandalari Shaman.
Maybe it will be useful on my Paladin since I can bubble.
I’m guessing that you’re talking about the Zandalari Troll heal? I said it when I first got to play them that it was not as op as others kept stating and it’s not. I rarely use it at all. You get maybe a tick or two in emergency situations but that’s only good if you need one or two more attacks to kill it. If you’re getting your a$@ handed to you it makes absolutely no difference if you die now or two seconds from now, you’re going to be dead either way.
I only use it after fights when my health is low otherwise I try to survive like normal. I never use potions so I’ve learned how to survive without them and I do the same with the regeneration . . . . . I survive.
Healers run low on mana, so better to help your healer.
Also, in a raid with ticking dmg it’s not that intense if your healers know what they are doing, as the ticking damage isn’t very high.
Still, a heal is a heal, and can save you.
There is plenty of times I could use a heal like that. I choose a nelf though since meld is far more OP in M+, and is alliance as well.
It’s not good. I hardly ever get to use it. It’s extremely rare in pvp that I don’t have a DoT or a bleed.
Its still good, yall just not very imaginative. I use it all the time. Dont normally get a full channel off but 3/4 my HP back is OP af.
Didnt mean to delete the last post. Wanted to add that I play Boomkin mostly so mobility is really strong…
Which came right after a round of nerfs to Horde racials that saw a trickle, then a flood, of PvP players race changing to Human for EMFH that got so bad that Blizzard had to create Mercenary mode to allow Alliance players to queue as Horde just to have someone to RBG against. And then it was like another expansion before EMFH got nerfed.
A single trip through a Level 2 garrison mine and a couple of stacks of Sumptuous Fur will create tons of Goblin Gliders via the Engineering shack at 5 gliders per pop. A couple of hours farming the mats on a level 120 with WoD Pathfinder would likely do you for months worth of gliders.
From what I can tell, its value is greatly tied to your class. Some classes, its absurdly powerful in PvP (a gamechanger) but for most cases its just another racial.
UPDATE: I finally used it. I pulled about 10 mobs and a named and had to blow everything to live.
Am I the only one enjoying a bit of schadenfreude at the FOTM chasers who mass-rerolled? ![:thinking:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/thinking.png?v=6" ":thinking:")
I dont think the masses re rolled because they thought they were Fotm. Most horde players knew what it was. Alliance players were the ones overracting to something they had no clue about
Always. I always look forward to the day something is nerfed just to see the outrage. I however hate seeing races/classes get nerfed because of the lemmings. It’s why we can’t have nice things.
That’s why it’s only a bit. Fools tried to kick up a stink about Shadowmeld…
Never used it once. Even on paladin. Bubble plus a couple flash of lights is legitimately just the same.
The glider is usuable every 742 hours. So that was cool. Used that once.
Alliance has the superior racials yet again ! Muahaha
