Compensate Humans for the weapon skill

The +5 weapon skill update would basically just make Humans (also Orcs but they already have Blood Fury/Hardiness making them busted) perform worse compared to every other class. As perception wouldn’t be a straight up trash racial already, this just screws Humans and Alliance even more.

You want to tell me that Horde will have acces to Blood Fury/Hardiness, Warstomp, Will of the Forsaken and Berserking as well as having acces to Alliance’s strongest aspect? ROFL

My suggestion is to replace perception with a proper racial like wotlk’s Every Man for Himself, making us somewhat viable in PVP or introduce other methods of balancing, instead of forcing rerolls.

They could solve it by making humans able to stack the +5 twice so we would get +10 to weapon skill.

As far as I know that would not make any difference. Since at higher lvls you pass the needed cap with the human racial and edgemasters alone I think ? Adding more does not produce additional gains.

But I could be wrong, I always play cat, + wep skill items make no difference to me, so my info could be off.

Also, Blizzard made it this way so people did not HAVE TO pick Human as a War or Rogue. Imo Perception and Diplomat are both very very good racials. Sure, not a dps increase, but most races dont have racials that impact their dps.

I was about to make this thread.

Agree 100%.
The faction/racial balance has never been greater.

  • Alliance has blessing of freedom and salvation
  • Horde has better racials for all races both pve and pvp
  • Horde has 2 windfury classes, one that can windfury even if they are not melee dps
  • Horde has tremor totem and now fear ward too

Why should anyone play alliance when horde have such greater racials?
This is not only forcing rerolls but also faction changes on people, on servers with faction balance locks.

It will be fun to see when horde dominates the top parses.

Even though I do not agree with it as it removes race peculiarity, I understand the reason they are making it this way and I would be fine with it.

However if they prefer to go down this way, some balancing to humans and the alliance racials overall will be neccesary or else the gap between horde and alliance will be greater than ever.

You forgot priests Get fear ward aswell :rofl::clap: hf in phase 4 pvp! Well atleast shamans got 2 more buffed Runes. Fun times

Complaining about balance when you are asking for (with a HUGE margin) the best racial skill that humans ever had? Come on bro… XD

Agree 100%. Horde got all the good buffs, while ally got very little, salv even better for horde. Ally should get their racials pimped.

How about we switch ally-horde racials. Nelf get warstomp cows get shadowmeld, sounds fair?

Horde favoritism, since 2004 :slight_smile:

Do you really believe that now everyone will reroll horde just for a +5 weapon skill?

You do know alli pop is still higher than horde right?

Might have to do with people just wanting to play the race they like instead of going for racials…

Forgot about getting windfury?

Teenagers mostly prefer to play horde not just for racials.
“ud looks so cool broooarrrgh!”

with this change : more ppl will roll horde (since it will be the best faction for both PVP and PVE), also : prepare for 1H queues in BGs
