Undead have two meme racials, Underwater Breathing, which is practically useless, and Cannibalize, which is far too conditional and situational to be consistently useful.
Will of the Forsaken is a good racial overall, but it’s still situational, as only certain classes have access to fear effects.
Touch of the Grave somewhat saved Undead by making up for their lack of useful racials, providing value comparable to two passive racials combined. However, after the nerf, that’s no longer the case, and Undead are now simply inferior to other races.
Please lower the internal cooldown of Touch of the Grave to compensate for their lack of useful racials.

I actually use Underwater Breathing to avoid PVP and Cannibalise so I don’t have to buy food or drink when doing dungeon runs.

Cannibalize is actually good now that it regenerates mana.
not at all a meme racial tbf.
but yeah… underwater breathing is giga yikes.
I just dislike Cannibalize, because it is only a benefit out of combat, which saves you some bread and water, that you could have gotten for free from a mage, while also having a very specific condition of requiring a humanoid corpse.

works on undead corpses too and you can use it in combat, so its not too bad now for pve, as a caster, especailly as a priest healer you can quite easy find time during a fight to send a full cannibalize to recover some mana. in pvp its way more challenging to make use out of it during (not after) a fight!
I concur that the nerf to Touch of the Grave was far too heavy handed.
The nerf should be reduced but not fully reverted.

I’d like to know too, maybe they are stuck on the US forums, where we aren’t even allowed to write.
Haven’t read what is written there yet.
there we go, 15 icd on ToTG is fine.

Definitely better, I guess 3 procs per minute in average, the changes are just a bit late to test.
But they still need to remove the “up to 5% of your maximum health”, because higher attack speed doesn’t provide more procs anymore, instead the procs are capped by the 15 cooldown now.
As a Priest, I personally found Cannibalize amazing with the Mana Regernation. In some dungeons, I’d straight up just start Cannibalizing a mob mid-combat to recover mana 
still garbadge. ICD should be removed and chance should be lowered as it was, that’s will be fair random
