I’ve lost count of how many times this racial has saved my tushy. What other races have such a useful ability?
Does anyone disagree?

I disagree, ethereal connection is. 50% off transmog cost permanently. Can’t pass that up. Transmog is endgame.

Shadowmeld has saved me heaps when things get out of hand, especially the elite knockback mobs grouping up with invulnerability totems guys in the caverns

I agree. In fact, Horde players have been telling you guys this for years, but you still insisted that Alliance was so helpless that you couldn’t get anything done unless cross-faction play was allowed.
A close second! As we’ve also been saying, for years.

No they don’t.
I went dwarf on lock and mage because of it.
Yes they do one is called
Stoneform: Remove all Harmful Poison, Disease, Curse, Magic, Bleeds an reduce all physical damage 10% 8s duration.
Fireblood: Removes All Poison, Disease, Curse, Magic, an Bleed Effects.
The key difference is not the physical damage but stat gain.
They are the same with minor differences.
Stone form is a defensive racial.
Fire blood is an offensive racial.
The best racial is diplomacy as it reduces the amount of bs you need to do to collect things. Transmog cost reduction is a distant second. Then there’s that goblin thing for vendor discounts close behind that.
Combat racials are bad for the game as they promote cash transactions for swaps for power which is toxic design.

Nothing in my post was serious lol. I just like saying diplomacy is the best racial.
You went on the attack pretty quick though lol.
I personally think the Dark Iron Dwarf version, Fireblood, is slightly better than the regular Dwarf racial.
They both remove debuffs, but Stoneform only reduces phyical damage taken by 10%.
Fireblood, on the other hand, gives you a chunk of a stat increase to your main stat.
They are both extremely good racials, though.
Much better than my dumb Goblin Rocket Boots, and mobile bank that I never use.
I honestly do think racials deserve a rework, there are so many that are straight-up terrible compared to other races.
I’m still mad at how much time humans save grinding reps, always will be lol.
You guys would have rep stuff a week or two before everyone else.

The goblin Jump is one of the best racials in the game though.
It’s good, but not on a class that already has a lot of mobility.
I actually can’t use Heroic Leap within 10 seconds of using Rocket Jump, but if I use Rocket Jump first, I can use Heroic Leap right after.
It’s a bit janky, lol.
You just can’t use rocket jump within 10 seconds of using an ability that slows your fall or something like that, so I’ve got to use the rocket jump first, otherwise I cannot use both in tandem.
It’s actually really fun to close the gap with a charge, someone jumps away, then you rocket jump over, saving you another charge or some other gap-closer, it’s easier to stay on-target with it, I’ll say.
Nit picking honestly???

This ^^
War stomp always makes for fun times.
Fact is any racial that does SOMETHING in combat is useful and can be OP in the right situation.
My Blood Elf can remove one beneficial effect from every enemy within 8 yards, so that’s handy in some niche scenarios.
You would think so but for most specs it really isn’t because the stat bump that you get from the Dark Iron racial doesn’t make up the difference that 2% increased crit damage gives for normal Dwarves. For example the difference between Dwarf and Dark Iron is a 1900 DPS difference in favor of Dwarf in ST for Outlaw.
I do agree that racials need a total overhaul but it makes Blizzard money so it’s unlikely to happen. I’m sure they’ve made bank off of people swapping to Dwarf since cross faction and more specifically this season of M+ since it’s flooded with bleed effects that basically instant kill you. Dwarf and Tauren are the only options for rogues in PVE content because of the 2% crit damage and it’s painful because I don’t want to swap to Dwarf for bleed cleanse.
Not even considering just that but if you take the top end and compare it to the bottom, there’s a gap of 2245 DPS for Outlaw which is absolutely absurd because it’s literally an extra piece of gear of dps you’re getting. Checked another random spec which ended up being Frost Mage and Dwarf to Vulpera is literally a 4156 DPS gap which is absolutely unacceptable and yet people still try to say racials don’t matter.
