Racial Changes coming with WotLK

[Naysayer]

Hardiness looks like it's getting nerfed to hell, Orc isn't so appealing now. That seems to be the only real horde nerf. WotF will have little change since it's mostly used as a reactive ability rather than preemptive. Trolls get a slight buff, Blood elves get a major buff, and Cows get their possibly OP health bonus nerfed before it becomes a problem when 20k-30k health becomes the norm.

Note: this is a list of changes/additions, not an
exhaustive list of all abilities. Racial abilities not mentioned here
haven't changed (or are ones I forgot to put on this list).

I'd drop it at that, but then if you look at the third human racial it kind of makes Kalgan's statement seem a bit confusing.

30k?!?! is it really scaling like that?

We went from 3k-5k(preBC) to 15k and a buffed raid tank is over 20k right now. It has to scale if damage is scaling. The only way they could stop the hitpoint increase is to add/increase defense modifiers and damage reducers.

Not so much. It seems upscaling mana and mana regen is the new stam upscaling (TBC) for WotLK.

How many people are wearing WotLK raiding gear and season 5 gear so far? Nobody is even into the first tier wotlk gear yet. What do you think is going to keep people alive when a season 5 or season 6 Titans grip 2hand dual wielding fury warrior smashes their face in? 10k hitpoints and 450 resil? no lol.

try lolknockback and the variety of new CC abilities, warriors will need the increased dps to remain effective

blizzard isn't going to go the stam route again so soon because the player community is still rather sensitive about it
but they'll definitely find a way to get you out of your old gear sooner rather than later
stam will still go up of course, but not to 20-30k

wow... they finally nerfed warstomp?

They only mention what's been changed. War Stomp is unchanged

darn, knew it was too good to be true

[Korruptor]

Anybody else notice how far they have nerfed WOTF and continue to do so?

It should be removed from the damn game.

First take away shadow meld from NE's.

Wait are they taking away blood fury from orcs then? Basically this is like another trinket for me.

No, the list is only CHANGES. Not all racials. If they didnt change, they didnt get listed in that blue post.

[Stealthy]

Might be time to retire my orc shams and level some Taurens instead.

I would just wait and see

I spend to much time on RAF stuff so could make more toons in short order.

Blizz is walking a tight robe on this .
