Draenei abandoned

Draenei are a very cool race, yet their racial is literal garbage gameplay-wise, they don’t have heritage armor, and they haven’t gotten any customization updates for a long time (especially male draenei). You also haven’t given them Warlocks, and also haven’t bothered to give them a red eredar skin customization despite the huge demand in the past. Could you give Draenei an alliance version of bloodfury? Would fit more, and they’re also shamanistic from draenor, just like orcs… What’s up with that? Shouldn’t that problem be solved after years at some point?

I agree. My main gripe is the lack of heritage armour though, to be fair, I don’t begrudge the orcs and humans getting theirs this expansion as they should’ve been first, not last.
To be fair we did have some new customisations a while ago when I could add my hairstyle.
I’ve maybe used the racial 5 times since I created Ananda at Draenei launch. Why would I need it? I have a ton of healing options as a SP and new ones keep getting added.
Draenei had a great history when they were launched. It would be good to have more of it as part of our characters’ armour and racial.

at least someone does :slight_smile: Just hoping you’re not posting on an alt to troll

I find that a lot of the time items that could easily go for “heritage armour” can simply be found in the zones that correspond to those races.

There are some exceptions though, and these mostly come in the form of the vanilla and tBC zones and therefore their corresponding races. If there’s one thing those expansions hugely failed at it was channeling the races in the weapons and armour designs during levelling. And Draenei obviously find themselves in this pile.

Aren’t there any cool Draenei-inspired transmogs from Argus? I know there were some weapons at least.

Pandaren for example are very well covered.

For Draenei there is nothing I’m really sure. They kinda “fake-covered” it with lightforged draenei, but I mean: Draenei are the OG alliance shamans in the end, and hence they should get love with some purple crystal heritage set, and a racial, that people actually use, since 20% hp over 5 seconds is really bad in general, and it also takes a gcd, which makes it never worth to press for most classes, that have better defensives

It might be an alt but I’m not trolling.

I know that nowadays the mentality is “me, me, me”, but I like the idea of having a heal to use on someone else no matter the class. It’s pretty decent for tank specs considering 20% of their health is non-negligible.

If she was made in TBC… a mana-free heal is just sick there, not sure if it used to break Shadowform however.

It would be still decent to have for Retail, just macro it together with Flash Heal if it’s off the GCD (as it should be), and whenever you wanna heal yourself, it’ll pop a strong HoT.

I actually saw a few new Seat of the Triumvirate armor sets that come in a regular draenei style and are said to be related to Trading Post. Also, one of the mage pvp sets from WoD screams Draenei.

This in particular. I used to have a draenei mage ages ago and this is what she used to wear.

Racials should get an update for sure, at least heal should get CD reduced to 2 mins, 20% non-instant heal every 3 mins is very meh. The other racial should give more stat, it is extremely weak, especially compared to similar one mechagnomes have.

Heritage armour would be very nice as well, but it looks quite unlikely we are getting one sadly.

Lightforged draenei could get racial update as well, as we have only Light’s Judgment on 2,5 min CD and the while it is on CD we simply have no racials at all, could use something passive as well.

What do you mean we have no racials as lightforged draenei? We do have them, -1% holy damage taken, +20% exp for killing demons, summon anvil and dealing damage/healing allies when we die. They are not good, that’s true, but they do exist.

Well, they basically do not do anything. Holy damage taken -1%, when holy damage is so rare in PvE - useless.

20% exp killing demons does literally nothing when you are 70 - useless.

Light’s reckoning is a joke, it does 5,6k damage and heal at 8 meters range, 5,6k damage/heal is nothing and it is basically melee range, so, if you are ranged, you may die not even getting this amazing effect.

Heals for 30% of hp :nerd_face:
2 min CD. :muscle::nerd_face::v:

or 30% of target’s hp in dmg (in pvp 15%)
