Suggestions on balancing on racials

It isn’t, as rshaman I only use it if I’m locked out of Nature.

What on gods green earth is this take?

I’ll trade you shadowmeld for it LOL, I could use some more self-healing capabilities.

Take it up a colossal notch. Have racials that are actually rotational. Make Tauren Prot warriors concrete walls and orc fury warriors frothing mad juggernauts. Make elves and gnomes super mages.

Take it all the way to 11. Racials should be 1/2 or more of your characters passive power.

Isn’t this kind of a nerf? Less CD sounds nice but less duration seems to make this racial would be a short term slow rather than long term.

I think Draenei has the most balanced racials in the game with 76 Primary Stat at the end. If this get buffed, nobody will complain. :slight_smile:

Am I the only one who has the gripe with this racial ability is that this abilities benefits some classes than others? It’s like Z Pallies are going to have a free reign with this ability like Laying on Hands level of cheese. I would just leave this ability as is because this ability is literally a power creep of Cannibalize.

I never took Vulpera and their racials seriously. But increasing damage/healing by 25%(!) is a bit excessive.

Funny how Undead is actually trash compared to Humans even though their racials are quite similar. It’s because stuns are much more common than sleep, charms, fears, etc. Nightborne is okay… just has to be a magic damage dealer. Mag’har is also fine, you only play Mag’har if your class and spec have good and equal amount of secondary stat weight.

Shadowmeld is fine. It’s broken in a good way.

Arcane Torrent is kinda ehh… I feel like I have to be a MELEE class when I play as a BE because of this. The resource management is nice I guess but I doubt it’ll give me like 20 Insanity on my Shadow Priest like it does for my Frost DK.

Some racials are simple and broken, some racials are broken and fun, some racials… are complete garbage like the Forsaken Undead and the Lightforged Draenei. Speaking of…

Did you know this could scale with Ret pally’s Mastery? MAKES SENSE FOR ANY OTHER CLASS TO USE IT RIGHT!?!?!?!?!?!?

Completely agree about this one, they nerfed it to uselessness, and it’s kind of sad. The upset vocal minority won that battle and no one is better for it.

Also, I’d like to mention Forsaken, our racials are kind of boring or terrible. I think people remember WotF being super broken, because at one point it was, and now it’s kind of worthless. All of our other abilities do just about nothing, and need a rework or redesign.

No, it doesn’t. This got quickly fixed before the race was even released. Even worse, it’s damage is halved against players.

laugh Yes, let’s make one of the most broken racials and make it even more broken.

The only use I’ve found for Regeneratin’ is to heal up while my healer drinks between pulls.

Cannibalize should heal to full, it’s basically vendor food. WotF should have a 1% leech baked in (like KT racial actually has two functions: Brush it Off: Increases Versatility by 1%. When you take damage, heal for 2% of that amount over 4 sec).

Step 1: Play a Zandalari.
Step 2: Cry once you find out how bad Regeneratin’ actually is.

I have a 120 Zandalari, and it’s by far the most broken racial in the game.

Then why are high rated arena and MDI players still using BE, NE and Dwarves?

A sensible approach to balance includes nerfs and buffs.

The game is not, and never will be, balanced around arena.

And MDI is about GO GO GO, of course a channeled ability will have a downside.

And I don’t know all forms of pvp feel like they are designed around 3s.

I dunno about balance but I was surprised recently when I leveled a Vulpera Hunter and the Bag of Tricks ability hit SO damned hard.

It scales as well and is still my highest hitting single damage spell by far right now at Max level 120(464ilvl).

When that thing crits it’s like the little go tossed a hand grenade at something.

How about no. :stuck_out_tongue:

Game balance is low on their priorities. Look at bfa demon hunters vs feral druids or shadoe priests. Day 1 to day 700 or whatever they changed absolutely nothing to balance. Racials they will say, just switch or buy a change, and laugh at us.

Then in what setting is the Zandalri racial broken?

I don’t believe any of the racials are game breaking at all.

As much as I would love to have my two favorite racials (War Stomp and Diplomacy) on all my guys I like the little bit of variety we have left.

Oh… Well, that’s balanced and keeps things consistent.

:joy: :rofl:
