I dont know what class I want to play in Dragonflight yet, but because leveling is very fast atm, I wanted to level up one char for each class. And I also want to level up each class with the meta Racial for 2v2 and 3v3 Arenas.
Now that Orcs are nerfed via the new pvp trinket, what do you think is the new meta racial for each class.
I guess it looks something like this:
Feral and Resto; Night Elf
Balance: Tauren
Shaman: difficult, maybe both Dwarfs > Tauren > Troll
DH: Nelf >= Belf
They potentially could, but its still weaker than before. Relentless was 20%, the set bonus is 10%. Orc racial is still 20% for stuns + Blood fury which is somewhat a 2 minute trinket.
Personally, I see “Human” as the biggest loser of that change but might be wrong.
It’s 15% with crafted item, it empowers the same trigger. Depending on what new pvp trinket can come (chain/ball type) human can be bis for specs who benefit from insignia+badge, insignia+bm. Or imagine rogue with resonator, who still has badge for a go
What is that item called and which profession? I will try it for myself.
I would also expect, that they are going to fix it. Otherwise you could ask why such crafted items, or potential drops in PvE do work, but racials don’t.
I am also curious if it stacks with racials, so orc become 25% less stun duration?
How is everyone reading this new trinket bonus as a nerf to orc?
Orc is still the same as before (so much better than any other race besides human)
And everyone (including orc) get 10% cc reduction, so in the end there is still the same difference between orcs and other classes, just as before.
Conclusion: orc is the way to go.
Orcs is nerfed because every race gets something that orcs already have, the 15% less stun duration. Instead of saying orc is nerfed, you could also say everyone else is buffed.
Because the advantage of Orc versus other racials gets smaller with that bonus. A buff exclusive to other racials is a passive nerf.
You still have an advantage in stun duration, but its smaller than before. Combined with the fact that other racials also have good stuff, Orc is obviously not as good as it was before.
Anyways: I doubt that the crafted item will stack, even when it does now. They will fix that or they need to include it for racials as well.
If it’s true what those hunters said, it will be only 5%. And you shouldn’t forget, that other classes also have good stuff.
If you can choose between 5% more stun reduction or Shadowmeld which can be considered as another trinket if used well, I would probably pick Shadowmeld. Blood Fury is nice in addition, but still not as good as SM.
I mean, the 5% makes a difference of just 0.25 seconds for a 5 second stun while SM gives you the possibility to make it a 0 second stun and destroy the whole setup while still having just a disadvantage of 0.25 seconds in the worst case.
There is 2 items in each crafting profession, which are treated as pvp ones, one that increases from 10% to 15%, other that has some valuable effect depending on armor type, they have ilvl boosted in pvp same as conq gear. It’s effect doesn’t stack with racial. It’s single effect, either 10% or 15%. So orc receive 15% for everything, 20% for stuns, all other receive just 15%
