Starting off with dwarfs , its crazy how much stuff you can clease off yourself , remember rezan bleed on very high keys without evoker could kill you without very big cds , now that we have a massive curse tension in tww dungeons , dwarf racial is by far one of the best since some healers don’t have curse dispells or some poison dispells , if you go to siege of boralus there is tons , if you go to stonevault ect… , i would either suggest the removal of racials we rework the passives to make them relevant or remove shadowmeld/stoneform/fireblood and then you can choose manualy once per character a racial powers from other non busted racials , i think shadowmeld is also very strong you can cheese so many mechanics with it , let alone being used in the mdi for big time advantages , race should only be for cosmetic purposes so you got a massive amount of choices to choose from , i mean everyone like choices , no one likes limitations in video games , i feel like it should be gone once and for all hopefuly one day.

Again with this. Who’s stopping you from rolling whatever race you think is OP?
Racials are one of the big reasons people play Alliance. I have a night elf rogue for the same reason.
Racials make certain races that aren’t visualing appealing or thematically interesting desirable, thus increasing the diversity of races played.
Racials give each race unique flavor and are cool.
We have cross faction, you can play whatever you like.
Big NO from me!
Give Tauren Plainsrunning!
you literaly contradicted your whole argument , so if racials are irrelevant , why would you say they give " flavor" ? what flavor does a dwarf racial give ? it gives you an advantage in dungeons keep that passives but remove rework the actives or give everyone the choice to choose one of all of the racials on his race, there so many deadly curces and poison that you can avoid so much damage by saving your defensive cds for the next pack which can be significant in high keys , just read what i typed , shadowmeld and dwarf racials concept need to be reworked , even orc 20% stun reduction is crazy in pvp , also its your opinion respectable , but this is not an opinion based for me cause of the “flavor” its something i’ve seen on pve/pvp that gives significant advantages , just look at the mechagnome racial , so many people used in race to world first cause of 1.7k main stat buff which is big if you put it on many characters its like a battleshout for that race , not to mention that we had this faction unbalanced cause of the racials , i know its gone but just pointing this out , when goblins were used on tomb of sargeras massive guild switch happened to down the last boss with that cheesy racial , races just disturb content , your asking whats stopping me lad , like i literaly typed it and you just got a trigger factor and didn’t bother to read , dwarf racial saved me on high keys where i saved so many cds on bleed and curses thats whats stopping me cause its too good , shadowmeld included , its like giving me a bland cake and an actualy sugary cake and asking me what stopping you from eating the bland cake , i mean you tell me.
I never said racials are irrelevant dude, I said you can choose to play whatever you like.
The rest I couldn’t read, sorry, add some damn paragraphs.
I think racials should exist, but they should be passives only, things like shadowmeld or dwarf racials in general are so unfair that even “forces” you to play a race you don’t like just because of how good they are.
I think if they change that it would also help tremendously on the 5:1 alliance vs horde ratio we are suffering right now, as everyone who does pvp is playing nelf or dwarf for obvious reasons. And back in the day people played human for the reputation bonus but hey at least that’s gone.
Alliance bias where?
Racials only work for the overworld content. For the instanced it needs to be disabled.
So you want to kill even more roleplaying elements?
I’ll pass.
Personally, I would like the opposite. More racials should be buffed. I want every racial to be situationally strong. Taking fun and flavor away in order to cater to the top 0.01% makes no sense.
The game is barely an rpg already. This would make it worse. IMO they should improve on older races instead and came up with new racials for them.
I like what we see from them for the next patch, but there’s more work to do.
Deactivate them when in instanced current expansion content
Where was this post years ago when berserking and arcane torrent got the whole raiding community to roll horde?
I think the racials are fine. Dwarf racial were never seen as OP in more than a decade of the game. Put in an infinite scaling dungeon mode and suddenly the poor defensive alliance racials now become good in the niche situation and we must now get rid of them.
I like racials. I don’t want them gone and i think they are fine as they are. Unless you are pushing for MDI, you don’t need a specific racial. Any that is completely useless can be looked into to be made better.
Buff all racials and get rid of E-sports crap
I play this game because of it’s RP elements mainly. I guess my enjoyment of the game don’t matter, if your character isn’t perfectly minmaxed down to every little detail.
Racials should stay, for their RP purpose. Your minmaxing you can fiddle with what you already have. You have plenty to work with.
Some racials like shadowmeld forcing people to play races you don’t like. It’s very powerful for rogues but I don’t like night elves.
Considering some people pay to race change, I’m not sure how this would work if you suddenly have abilities removed.
Just keep it as it is…
Racials are relevant for such a minuscule amount of people its not worth changing or removing them for. Blizzard have, and I hope they continue doing so at least for the most part, always told players to just deal with it.
