gnome's +5% int is better than 3% spi for certain on warlocks, not sure how it works on mages. That is if you are PvE minded, PvP the trinket slot freed up by the human racial is the best, and bullshit I would like to add. I thought they were going to make racials not so important, but then they introduce this. It basically frees up a trinket slot so you can stack more AP, SP or resilience or whatever you want.

Hai thar...not heard of will of the forsaken I take it?

PS: To the OP, Alliance ftw :)

Go humans, the trinket racial is win and perception can be useful to find rogues and druids. Plus you can have a DBZ haircut :P

WARNING: UNCONFIRMED HEARSAY IS ABOUT TO FOLLOW THIS SENTANCE. I could be wrong, but what I was told was that the human racial triggers your trinket cooldown. WotF only breaks fear/charm last I checked. Unless they changed it and I can WotF out of stuns - I'm so decided on my lock team's race if that's the case. :D

I was just commenting on multibocks complaining about the new human racial, when the Forsaken have had one of the most OP racials of the game for ages. WotF doesn't trigger the trinket CD, so you can use both. But fear is one of the biggest CC's you want to break out of. Stuns not so much.

PS: Don't forget sleep.

PPS: If I were you, I would make your locks Undead. The racial can be used to break AoE fears which are far more annoying to boxers than stuns.

Using the human racial DOES trigger the cooldown on the pvp trinket. You can use the one or the other and have more freedom with your trinket slot, but you are not going to get out of jail twice as often. =]
