The new Human Racial is absolutely useless

Community General Discussion

Alright, so. I know there’s been a few topics about the Human rework, but the new racial “No Place Like Home” is absolute garbage. To explain, this is what you get:

“No Place Like Home: Your Hearthstone cooldown is reduced by 5 min and gains an additional charge.”

This is just dumb. Especially considering, that the racial itself becomes completely obsolete and USELESS, if you join a guild, where you get the Guild Perk “Hasty Hearth” which reduces the hearthstone cooldown by 15 minutes…

What you get as a human here, is now only a viable and… well. Lets be honest… Not very useful, cause who the hell is gonna use their hearthstone twice within 10 minutes after using it the first time?

I am not suggesting we get the Rep increase back, but heck, at least give Humans something that doesn’t feel like you’ve just taken away a racial and given nothing back but a wet fart.

It’s a passive racial benefit, same usefulness level as many other races have.

I’d argue that it is probably pretty useful if you spam m+ or delves as your primary game modes.

the rep bonus obviously goes against blizzards modern reputation design with renown if thats what they removed
personally I’d love a racial like that, I have fast loading times so often its faster for me to hearthstone > dalaran > org > valdrakken then to say for example fly all the way from the emerald dream back to valdrakken manually and more often then not its on cooldown when I don’t want it to be

2% bonus to all stats is your combat / damage racial. Every man for himself is your active / non damage racial.

Seems like you got a pretty good deal already.

the concern is that useful racial replaced by not so useful one esp for modern wow. just feels cheated. btw, char creation screen still lists old rep racial. someone is going to be surprised :smiley: when they actually check.

This comes as a surprise to absolutely nobody.
We’ve known this for a while. We discussed it here, several times.

A second location on your hearthstone would have been actually useful but a second charge is about as useful as a paper shield.

I think a comprehensive balancing pass on racial abilities and passives is something the game could do with

They could have come up with something a little more creative but for some it will be a useful racial. The only class that should be complaining is a human mage as for them it is totally useless.

This would have been just as ok but still useless to a human mage.

Given human has the highest damage racial in the game by the second patch of the expac usually I doubt they’d like that. Nor would the dwarves or the night elves.

Does not matter. I think all the racials should be thoroughly reviewed and brought more in line with each other. It is high time they did that.

And yes, Shadowmeld and the dispel racials are the outliers

Interchangeable Mix&Match perks between Offensive, Defensive and Utility like how they do it in League of Legends that everyone has access to.
