What’s your favorite racial and why?

What is your favorite racial ability (active or passive) and why?

I’ll go first: Mine is easily Goblin Rocket Jump. My main is a warlock and so mobility isn’t exactly my strong suit. I can’t tell you how many times rocket jump has saved my life.

Or when I’ve been right in the middle of setting up my tyrant, and a circle spawns under me and I have to move. Sometimes I’ll stay still and finish my tyrant ramp and then rocket jump away before I get hit.

It’s just so useful for a class that’s slow. It’s also nice for jumping off of high places.

There have been a couple times I’ve wanted to race change but I’m held back by the goblin racial. There really isn’t another racial that I think I would get that much use out of. It’s really hard to give up

Shadowmeld, because “you’re still in combat”.

Kul’tiran haymaker is probably the most amusing, if not the most useful or practical.

Shadowmeld, because when blizzards game stuffs up and gets you stuck in combat outdoors you can just say “Nah I’d mount”

human bonus stats?

i like when the racial affects character sheet/stats

Smeld is the most useful, but my favorite is Bull Rush. Nice offensive/defensive mobility button. Rocket Jump is great, but I can’t stand playing a goblin.

I think for me by far and beyond is Entropic Embrace.

It’s largely passive and as far as racials go is pretty good damage. If it goes off on a fed Blood beast proc I cry tears of joy.

Rocket Jump, easily. It’s just nice for any class I’m playing to have a forward facing Disengage. It’s useful for everything: PvE, PvP, just moving around, and it’s an explosion! On demand!

It’s on brand, effective and fun to use.

Gift of the Naaru is pretty neat, as it allows me to maintain Burning Rush for longer.

Touch of grave, I Don’t need to care about it it does damage and heal for itself

I was gonna say the same thing. Mechagnome racials are S-Tier. Goblin’s Pack Hobgoblin (mobile bank) and Rocket Jump have also saved me countless times.

The Dracthyr in Visage form works great for that as well. It basically cuts the damage from Burning Rush by roughly 70%, since you keep healing.

Glide because it’s glide and everyone should have that.

Spatial Rift. Cause Having 3x shimmer, alter and a velf teleport is super necessary.

But not being Draenei defeats the purpose of the spell :frowning:
