Orc meta once again? no please!

ah yeah I got ahead of myself. Ofc. Good call.

Take the info concerning the rework of orc racial with a grain of salt though please, I don’t really have a reliable source other than “someone told me holinka tweeted that” without being able to find said tweet myself.

Because racials encourages players that wants to be optimal to chose certain races. Even if they aren’t broken, some will be better than other.
Even something that isn’t broken right now, maybe is tomorrow because of how the meta changes.
Dwarf racials suddenly became some of the best, because for many classes, it was their only way to deal with broken Deathmark.

Let’s say you play a Lightforged. What does that provide? Nothing.
If I played a Lightforged, I would be reminded by my stupid choice every single time I died to Deathmark.

You list both Shadowmeld and Will of thw Forsaken and call them balanced. Sorry, but that is 2 of the most broken racials out there.

In a perfect world, you are right. If Blizzard took their time, and actually balanced racials, but that’s not gonna happend. The next best thing is just to disable them.
Or let the players chose racials themself. No reason to tie imbalanced “flavor” to aestetics.

give every class the Human trinket racial and then a non pvp racial

remove Trinkets from the vendor

this means that trinket is a 3min CD rather than the 2min cd from the vendor
which means CC is more viable again

  • ez fix

So Human and Undead Meta ? If Orc is reworked

Assa and Feral is still good but not S+ Tier so dark iron is irelevant

N11 will always have it plays

Maybe Panda is good ?

Where? People keep saying this, but there is nothing on his twitter of him remotely stating anything like it.

if this is true then there is racials rework in progress because no way some classes will get access to dracthyr’s tail swipe racial

someone have info about this tweet? i can’t find anywhere

I have been looking for it myself aswell, haven’t been able to nail down confirmation until now. It almost sounds too good to be true, but I want to believe it is true.

Holinka already posted on Twitter it’s going to get changed.

But its nowhere to find in his feed

can you tell us where?

He replied to someone can’t remember who that was. Might be Cdew on that day of announcing this clownfiesta. Let me take a look I swear I saw it on Twitter.

Might be but I’m 100% sure I saw it that day. It was responce to an US streamer.

At least you choose to press them and when to use them. Orc racial is passive. Shadowmeld can be useless too if you don’t use it well. For example a Night Elf pri kept trying to meld my HoJ a few days ago, all I did was waiting 1 second then stunning. This is not broken.

this 100% and this why i cant wait for other mmos more interesting to spend time on as wow has just become a money grabbing machine with no value for the money invested

you get a garbage pvp and you invest 100 euro for things like race/faction/server changes and then top of that they can ban you for language for saying something like “bad” in shuffles

Everyone says the same thing, there is still no screenshot.

i would like to very much see clarify on this too, just when we had some variety with races on pvp would really suck to go back on 1 race for all type of game

If I play a NE rogue I get:
5% movement speed while stealthed, an exstra vanish, 1% crit/haste, 2% dodge chance, 2% movement speed and 1% damage reduction from nature damage.

If I play a LD rogue I get:
A weak damage spell with 2,5 minute CD and 1% damage reduction from holy damage.

The choice between those 2 should be a no brainer for anyone who tries to be competetive.

I don’t like to cripple myself for the sake of asthetics. And I shouldn’t have to imo.
