I switched my druid to a Worgen when they were introduced to WoW because I thought a druid who was already a shapeshifting werewolf would be really cool. And it is, and their racial skills are really cool, but I am on the verge of switching back to Night Elf for the 2% movement speed increase and another 5% stealth movement speed increase. I was just thinking of some ideas for Worgen Racial skills that would be cool.
Werewolves are probably pretty quick, maybe faster than humans, so I think an overall 3%-5% movement speed boost passive would be cool. It could be included in the ‘Darkflight’ or the ‘Running Wild’ racial, replacing the active movement speed boost for the passive or adding to it.
The ‘Viciousness’’ 1% Crit bonus is nice, but I think it could be included in the ‘Flayer’ skinning skill. Skinning used to offer a crit buff passive after all.
‘Two Forms’ is really neat and fun. It should be ‘castable’ while in combat though, and I think a real werewolf might be able to fight while in human form also so maybe Worgen could too, and it would be really cool if there was a shapeshifting perk included with ‘Two Forms’ such as reducing all shapeshifting global skill cooldowns by 0.5 seconds or something like that.
And maybe ‘Two Forms’ could also offer Worgen an increased stealth detection bonus or other Racial tracking bonuses. Werewolves probably have heightened hunting senses. Or maybe a 1% Mastery bonus while in Werewolf form.
So really I’m just thinking of a movement speed bonus and some sort of shapeshifting perk. I think those would be appropriate Racial skills and pretty cool.
These are some pretty decent ideas. Worgen are due a racial overhaul to be certain.

When every other core race in the game got a racial redo the only race who didn’t was Worgen. Honestly its far past time to have Worgen redone. I personally would like a passive stealth detection as we are always sniffing around.

I totally agree with you on this one. They should have a passive increase in stealth/invisible detection. It makes so much sense. Also it would be very useful in PvP.
I think racial differences should be more pronounced in general, as strong or stronger than racial differences in DND.
