Dont race change to undead

[Multibocks]

Could tell you to get a backbone so that you would not have whined so much that wotf got nerfed in the first place, right? It was alliance whining that got it changed, so don't try and turn the tables on undead that are upset with this change leaving us with the worst racials in the game by far. Absolutely worthless racials now.

I didn't need to search for a thread named "TREMOR TOTEM STACKS", sorry I remembered it and you were busted lying.

I agree with the "all racials need to go", but you won't see me being a scrub douche laughing at the other side when I'm OP and he get's nerfed. Sorry to break it to you, but balance isn't when you're opponent is at a disadvantage.

Busted lying? What? Are you a moron? I told you I dont play that team anymore when you asked if I pvp'd with shamans. So I guess you only face shamans when you pvp on your UD? Ya and I totally whined everywhere about WoTF and you read it all. This be the first time on any messageboard that I mentioned it. Good god man you are such a fucking retard. Need some cream for the giant vagina you developed?

How can you blame the entire alliance faction for causing this change? That makes about as much sense as blaming undead players who gloated about how good their racial was. We have no idea what the discussion at Blizzard headquarters really was, so don't go flaming others just because you're upset. I'd like to imagine that Blizzard had some statistics that showed undead players were winning disproportionately often.

I do think that Blizzard ought to compensate this change by giving undead some other benefit...

I still think that I am going to just faction change my Dranei Shaman to ORc Shaman regardless of the racial changes happening. Bloodfury still seems the way to go over Gift of the Naruu and most of the time I never get a chance to use gift in Arena because I barely can get the global off.

[Naysayer]

When I remember to equip my pvp trinket I have very few fear bomb problems. Even without tremors.

i'm sure you do well in arena and/or non-casual pvp situations as well.

The faction / race change is the same thing, except there is a financial aspect to it. They'll watch all the hardcore Arena / PvP / Raiders migrate to the idea race for each class, take notes, and nerf/adjust as the player based shows. (this time they get to make lots of money!).

Very true. However, as long as there are racials there will always be "the best" and min/max or player seeking any kind of advantage will migrate to that race. Blizzard's bait and switch tactics are kinda lame.

I would think, the best reason to not play undead or to not switch to undead, is to avoid the stench of your own rotting corpse.

Racials are clearly secondary to this.

Everyone's own stench smells good to them. Its the other people that will be thankful you don't play undead as they won't have to wear scented masks whenever you are near.

How do you smell without a nose?

I'd ask Michael Jackson, but he's dead!

I was having a think about the whole racials debate...and I thought this might be a good idea:

Pool all the racial traits, divide them into major and minor traits. Allow characters to select 1 or 2 major and 2 minor skills (somewhat similar to glyphs) at character creation.

This would bring choosing a race purely down to aesthetics. Obviously the wouldnt be called racial traits anymore, maybe something like background skills, each with some accompanying flavor text when chosen at the character creation screen.

What do you guys think?

Cheers,

This, it's similiar to EQ2's progression racial/class thingies that you got to choose, but easier to understand and only once! It makes sense, seems fair and therefore will most likely not happen =P

I like it, but don't really see Blizz implementing it.
