As most people know every core race in the game except 1 has gotten updated. Why Worgen were the only core race to not get updated is anyone’s guess. Most of the time I just credit it to how few people were playing Worgen due to our terrible model. But now its time to sit down and update Worgen racials. And yes before you rush in to scream about Running Wild in the Maw you can now unlock a mount you can use so that is a null point anymore. But let’s hear what we would like to see in terms of changes.
I personally would like to see our crit raised to 2% to be on par with other races, dark flights speed to be increased or changed to some sort of leap, and some sort of passive stealth detection.

Worgen is definitely up there for worst racials in the game. Maybe even the worst.
I 100% support Blizzard buffing the weaker racial abilities.

Racials… are not as far apart as you think they are. And this is with Crit being Fire Mage’s worst stat and therefore just a “bad” race pick for the spec.
I’d be okay with a 20% buff to Darkflight or something, but a Speed Boost is not an inherently bad “utility” racial.
What races have worse racials then?
Worgen have terrible models? What?
I would have agreed before the update, but after the update they’re pretty good.
Worgen have solid utility and a pretty bog standard throughput racial.
As for what races are worse? Depends on your class really. Unless you’re a Vulpera cause Vulpera are garbage.

Ignore the fact I’m a fire mage I’m not here to discuss that at all I’m talking about Worgen racials in general and how we are the only core race in the game to not have any changes in the 11 years we have been a playable race.

Why do racials need to change?
Generally racials get changed because they’re putting in more work than they should. Like old EMFH, or that short time Arcane Torrent or whatever was an AoE interrupt. If your Racial isn’t a numerical outlier and isn’t providing some sort of broken utility, there’s no reason for a change.

No they don’t. And only named 1 race. Thanks for proving my point.
“Lol no”
For 10 years Worgen had the worst model to ever go live in WoW. Don’t get me wrong I still want more options for my Worgen but the changes to the model were a solid start to make up for the travesty that was the Worgen model.
They had bad clipping issues but the model itself was fine IMO. Fell behind as other races got updated before it, ofc, but that’s moot now.
I’ve had mine nerfed multiple times
Are you saying worgen need theirs nerfed as well, since that’s usually what happens?

That seems a bit harsh, I probably wouldn’t pick one if I was going for the most optimal combination in the world, but extra bag space, a decent heal, and a second hearth stone is a lot more useful for casual play than most racials, I’d gladly take that at the cost of 0.1% damage.
I don’t think you understand how racials work.
Worgen are pretty standard across the board. The only race that has consistently bad racials is Vulpera, which is why they’re the only one I named.
Edit: Nightborne are pretty bad too. I always forget about them cause no-one plays them.
Well yes like I said I’d agree before the update, but we’re past the update now so I was confused what you meant. Fair enough
The model was terrible. The clipping and tearing of the animations. The non wolf 24/7 passed off buldged eyes chihuahua face. That model was something that could have passed a first time user for Blender but as far as the professionals at Blizzard that model never should have been released.
Basically it felt like Worgen were passed over when every other core race including goblins got racial updates. Part of it felt like it was due to the bad model causing alot of players to not want to play Worgen but now with the model update I know I see alot more Worgen than I used to.
Vulpera are lower DPS as their racials are more in line with the Alliances way of racial abilities being more utility based rather than offensive. (Yes I know you get your bag of tricks but that hardly compares to Berserking and other racials)
I see racials as something that needs to be looked at for a while now.
