Worgen racial should change too

With the new model update, how about giving worgen racials a look, as most people currently disdain playing as one not just because the model is problematic, but because the racial is mostly useless in content.

So here’s a proposed change referencing the super popular troll on Horde side (worgens turn into trolls in BoD Horde phase)

Viciousness (Active): Increases your critical chance by 10% for 12 seconds. Off GCD, 3 minute cooldown.
~Hidden Effect: If you’re a melee, your weapons are removed for the duration and you start clawing your enemy with your bare claws. (Doesn’t change gameplay, just aethestics). Casters/Hunters could gain a slight primal aura (red?) to their projectiles for the duration

Darkflight (Passive): Reduces the effect (Not duration) of movement imparing effects by 15%, can not be slowed below 50%.

Just these 2 changes would see worgen players increase massively, and they’re not exactly overpowered. They’re just basically the troll racials, given back in a different way.

Two forms = entirely optional.

I don’t think racials changed when every other race got a graphical update, so why would the Worgen’s racials need changing? The only reason they’re changing the Worgen/Goblin models now is because they weren’t able to get to it in WoD.

(Oh, and please correct me if I am wrong. If racials did change along with the graphical updates, ignore everything I said. I came back to WoW during the Legion pre-patch, so I’m not too knowledgeable on WoD related stuff.)

I want to be able to fight without weapons(I mean obviously weapons would still be equipable, but you can use your racial so that the weapons are invisible)

Because they are pretty useless

Giving them the racial to fight with their bare claws would be enough.

you leave Darkflight alone!

It is a great racial for any class that lacks mobility, heck its a great racial even for classes that have mobility, an extra 40% speed for 10 seconds every 2 minutes is useful in lots of content

Id prefer a racial execute. Only useable at when the enemy is at 5% hp. Worgen jumps on them and mauls them to death clawing them to pieces. Only useable in pvp. Darkflight is useful for certain classes but maybe it should be a passive 10% speed increase instead.

Because only our racials suck, except for darkflight

Maybe adding ignore movement impairing effects.

I already fight with my bear claws.

Yeah Darkflight is good the way it is plus why would weapons being removed over duration be a good idea? You know how mad people would get if they thought their weapons broke prematurely?

For one, that is a bit OP and two… no! Bad suggestion. :laughing:

Seriously though… no thank you. Darkflight in its current iteration is super helpful unless you’re a rogue or a druid.

For everyone else (especially Death Knights) it is pretty awesome if you use it at the right times.

A tweak to some of the other racials could be nice though.

Or even just making it so 2-hand weapons can be mogged into fist weapons. Then we could just go with the Crowley look.

I really liked Darkflight when I was a Worgen, an extra sprint that didn’t take me out of Moonkin form was handy.

Your changes seem too melee-centric.

If I could be a worgen and never have to go into wolf mode, I’d actually make one. Being furry is an absolute no on a character for me.

The entire point of playing a worgen is to be a worgen. It’s a curse, not a choice.

Blizzard should have a quest where we bring the people of Bradensbrooke into the Alliance, though. They could be an option for people who want the Gilnean human without being a worgen.

Just have a mage or druid decurse you. Gg ez.

Kind of defeats the purpose of playing a worgen, yeah?

No, you still have the racials. You just dont have the unsightly fur.
