People have been rolling horde for their racials for pve raiding since forever. Top players in the world have chosen horde to be world first over and over and over..... NOW you are going to whine about shadowmeld... cry about it.
Like Supatease said, you can't balance these especially the drachyr ones. Make them all cosmetic and let us pick a race we'd like to play not being forced to play NE forever.
I mean you kinda dumb if you race change just to be stronger lol. The race you pick wont increase your rating lol. Racial are op if you know how to play around it.
I remember… I remember when I was 14 years old. When wow Released I made my nightelf hunter because I was in my lord of the ring phase with how cool Legolas was… little did I know I was gonna be stuck with shadowneld for life lolll
I must disagree on Forsaken being A. The ability to break out of fear(which has a partially shared CD with trinket) is the only thing we are known for. The rest of our racials is legit dogwater. Touch of the Grave is never scaled right, so it will never deal noticeable damage, or noticeable healing. Cannibalism breaks on all damage, even dots. So this HEALING ability, is only usable before combat starts, where you most likely have full health anyways. And then lastly, we can breathe underwater. I am sure that will be useful if they *god forbid* add an underwater arena.
Underwater arena is just an awesome idea. I think it has a lot of potential. But I do think forsaken should be in A tier as there are so many warrier, priest and lock in pvp. CC are only deadly when they are chained. And trinket and WotF can break 2 cc chain every 2 min, potentially denying two goes from the enemy team. I would consider forsaken racial better than orc right now. As the 5% stun reduction should not be in A tier.
I mean, he obviously rated races based on their active racials. Passive racials are most of time just minor bonuses to add some flavor and very minor amount of throughput. Night elf passives are also not that gamebreaking, imho. Breaking Fears, Charms and Sleeps is very strong when warlocks, priests, warriors and evokers are popular classes.
@@imagrillsubtome7747 Yeah, I thought it was a knock down so it doesn't share dr with stun. But after I used racial and then tried to maim somebody, he was only stunded for half the length.
Meld has the same cooldown as vanish.. and triggers all the same effects as vanish, making it effectively an extra vanish charge, which is literally a capstone rogue talent.
It also has an immune for 1 sec, just like fade when you take a PVP talent. Priest have 1 less PVP talent choice and NE just get it as a racial that is also a vanish. How can they be ok with this.
@@tehfuqizg0inon588they been able to since classic, along with every other race can be a warrior think it’s the only class like this actually cause anyone can train hard theoretically to become a warrior
@@rehmsmeyer well remember that time entire guild changed to goblin to kill Kil'jaeden, I would just remove em from pvp, m+, and mythic raid and make them cooler for other content/fantasy
I play undead on almost all of my toons but it's not for the racials. Will of the forsaken is ok if you are fighting warlocks but other than that it's pretty useless and touch of the grave hits for nothing now it actually hits about 30% less than the Zandalari version. I remember in mop touch of the grave was hitting 4 to 5% of people's health on procs even more if you were an unholy dk and you would see 4 to 5 ppm. Now it's hitting 0.2% of people's health and you are only seeing about 2 to 3 ppm. They have pruned far too many races I remember when you used to see troll's a lot in pvp but you don't see them at all anymore. I think you are going to see a lot of hunters going Zandalari now for the extra heals in turtle.
To me what is wild about all the changes to racial abilities is that NE is still stupidly OP in pvp compared to others. Like they obviously put a lot of time and effort into these racial changes and didn’t even come close to addressing the issue. Which to me is a waste of time and effort and a big miss.
In pve racials don’t matter that much and only come to be about .1-.2% dps increase and most are about the same increase. Its just the on use for pvp that makes them big. Example of high mountain charge for repositioning on lock

After trying void elf warlock in DF, I can never go back. I get trained 99% of my games and that pushback reduction feels really nice, on top of the extra blink
It‘d be so easy to balance some of this stuff through cooldown changes alone. Don’t rework Nelf to something boring, but double or even triple its CD. With a 5min CD it‘d easily drop one or even two tiers. The fact that it‘s only on a 2min CD is what makes it so busted. People can use it like three times in a single round without even thinking about if it’s worth it. Reduce the CD of some of the weaker racials in turn and it‘d instantly make things a lot more balanced.
I mean you cant ever really balance racials. Even if meld had a 1 hour long cooldown no rogue or feral would ever go anything other then Nelf for a free reset. Belf racial is 1% mana and an AoE dispell. Nobody is gonna pick that over a meld even if you can only meld once per round. And even if they do find a way to make racials seems fair and balanced Id rather they just removed racials and spent that development time on other things.
While on paper I could agree with Shadowmeld no longer dropping combat being a possible fix for evening out the racials, just from a quality of life pov, Blizzard would need to fix the being stuck in combat bug that BOTH druids and rogues suffer in various zones. Of course if Blizzard was competent enough to code stuff properly and fix such an issue, perhaps all of the racials would not be so imbalanced in the first place...
Smeld doesn’t drop combat in pve if you are fighting a boss bc with a boss being aggro’d it makes everyone in the instance be put in combat that can’t be dropped unless boss dies or is reset
Another thing about human is that its active CC removal is literally useless for healers since the trinket buff. Thought i might share that here (sad human paladin noise)
they should do a little talent tree for racial. We chose 1 active spells and 2 passives and that's it ! All racial up. Race be only cosmetic and it's good ! :)
Are racials really the difference between a win and a loss? I can't think of a single game this season where someones racial made the difference for either my team or the team I was facing.
Theyre decently balanced and only take massive effect on a gamestate in the higher tiers. So no not really. Like most Night elf players don't use meld correctly. 99% of em mess it up. It has potential to immune a HOJ if you time it perfectly, ect. I got r1 as ww monk as mechagnome. So anything is possible.
For warrior gnome gives you another snare break which is major for keeping on the KT. Shadowmeld is major for rogue/feral allowing them to completely restealth.
@@Toenailthedestroyer To me, it should stay the same for everyone except stealth classes, and healers, where for stealth users it wont drop combat, and healers as well. But dps non-stealth will not
@@Telarius for stealth class, even if it doesn't drop combat it is still op. Because it still gives you the same benefit as vanish. You can still garrot or cheap shot someone with shadowmeld.
What's funny is that Shadowmeld is also broken in PVE especially m+ and its been the exact same for years. Human has been nerfed over and over again but Shadowmeld has stayed the same, absolutely wild. Also its super buggy too, anyone else remember all different iterations of sap bugs that are enabled just through shadowmeld alone? Definitely just needs to be reworked at this point lmao.
Why is mechagnome D? I mean, it's not amazing, but heal on low hp. Actually, it used to make a difference when I played fistweaver and got targeted to survive stun when port is on cd, plus pure main stats is the best passive. I can't imagine it being worse then a drenay or maybe even troll
I've never been one to push too hard in PvP. Like in MoP i pushed to 1800 and was content with that. I always assumed human would have been S on that tier for pvp racials though. mainly bc it saves you a trinket slot because they have one built into them. i figured the list would have been anything that helps break CC at the top, ones that CC right below those and shadowmeld for druids and rogues, then it would go from there. That's actually surprising to me as a casual pvper
Human racial has been nerfed to oblivion since MoP. While in MoP it was a literal PvP trinket on a 2 min CD, nowadays it's a stun trinket on a 3 min CD that also puts your actual PvP trinket on a 90 sec CD. It's a very niche advantage that is only really noticeable at specific stages in the game.
@@QPoily they are better than undead imo, because every single class has a stun but that is not true for fear, so humans have more use cases, Undead are only good for healing so I think they are low B tier and humans high B tier
I play my races based mostly off looks and getting in character. I strive to improve pvp but do not want to min max radials. I think they need to nerf every racial to make them obsolete in pvp. One example for the most overpowered one... Nightelf shadowmeld could become a camouflage instead of a full stealth.
Shadowmeld needs to be tuned, make it a 3 min thing, dont let it drop combat. And it will be a healthier for the game balance. The 7% movement speed during Stealth is already a very strong passive.
Blizz at this point needs to make it so that once you reach exalted with a faction they can teach you their racial ability. If they're afraid of everybody just using the "best one" the number show that people are already doing that, only difference is if blizzard decide to balance the abilities, a decent chunk of the players have to then to change to the new best one, instead of playing the race they actually want to. Similar to covenants in Shadowlands, the problem wasn't with the balancing, the problem was with the punishment when you decided to try a different one.
Imagine when blizz decides to gut night elf, and cash in on almost the entire wow population race changing multiple characters. Almost as if it was planned
They will never have the courage to nerf night elf. It's the most played race in the entire game, its been there since classic, the amount of people who love this race is unmatched. People would riot badly I do think racials are bad for the game and i'd love if they made them just flavor cosmetics Btw human is a solid A for me. Being able to run double damage trinket as a caster is very good, specially since as a caster you're usually the kill target so you don't need the medallion to get rid of a polymorph/clone/fear most of the time since these types of CC are not being used on you.
At minimum, shadowmeld should put trinket on a 30 sec CD like Will of the Forsaken does. Nerfing it to immunity fade would be fine by me (horde player) but might be too much.
Nelf is so good for such a specific reason that its not realistic to try and match that value for other races or classes even. I agree that I like it for the gameplay, in that context it makes it a racial that is incredibly powerful in the right hands but borderline useless if used poorly. I think that's a fine place to be if it was just that and not interacting with stealth or healer drinks. For the rest it really comes down to utility and a bit of throughput. Nightborne's passive throughput racial is 1% magic damage which is borderline useless on most of the classes it can be. Like you're just down 1% damage if you're ever playing a nightborne warrior because you do 0 magic damage... which needs to be addressed. The active with the higher snare *could* be useful but it does absolutely no damage even after the buff and its cd is far too long. Maybe if it was a 1 minute cd or something it'd be worth putting on your bar but at 3 minutes its still so incredibly niche. They really need to do so much more with so many of these.
I've used Night Elf Racial since 2007. It's a bit weird for me to ever lose it to be honest, it's a natural part of my ability use as a hunter. I'd rather racials all be made better than removing them and it would feel awful to me to lose it after playing with it for 17 years? I wouldn't be against Shadowmeld having a 3-5 minute cooldown and making the duration only last 3 seconds in pvp environments.
Old dranei too was more op. 1,5 sec cast, interrupt racial dont interrupt healing spells so you use racial for all interrupts and after wasting all kicks you can freely cast everything. It was heal spell only since wotlk Before its anti kick spell
Giving meld a .5s would make it INSANELY broken in PVE. There are tons of tank busters and 1 shots they'll be able to just cheese through. Making it an will NEVER happen because of PVE.
NE racial is nerfed since wotlk. If you are in range they can break everytime your drinking. 1% crit/1% haste is broken. Tbc/vanilia shadowmeld work when you are out of combat you just go stealth. Imagine 0 mana, out of combat, you just start drinking and hide until you are full, and no one can find you if they cannot remember your position. Since wotlk its sometimes help or not too much exiting out of combat, its better for breaking big dmg on low hp. But old racial, when you can hide with water is too op, because NE will return only when he has full mana everytime. And you never catch them before they regain full mana
havent been able to actually get away with playing human for years. My rogue is still human for aesthetic but its awful. Removing racials for pvp period would actually nudge me to come back.
After the insane jukes ive pulled on void elf spriest the least mobile class in the game.. Yeah void elf is a tier for sure But nothing is close to night elf lol Dropping combat on demand alone is insane
Until blizzard fixes the literal plague of stealth and combat bugs for rogues they need not touch NE at least with meld I can actually restealth. So much fun getting randomly pulled from stealth or seeing a healer GAIN combat in the middle of a fear or blind. Gnome also completely changes gameplay for priests into boomies and warriors in general. We going to balance radials around specific classes? Simple solution make racial a selectable PvP talent in a 4th slot but wait…what about the revenue
Dreanei: your terrible ability that nobody has on their bar or has ever been pressed in pvp - reduced CD from 3 mins to 2 mins.. Zandalari: TURN INTO HAKKAR AND EVERYTHING INCREASED BY 300% who thinks of this crap? just play gnome bois, can't go wrong with gnome. not having escape artist is a big oof
If raising other current racials to melds power level was doable that would be ideal, but I don’t think you can. Either way it doesn’t seem like blizzard will ever commit the resources to balancing them. They’re making some super conservative changes here. They can’t even make small number updates to these racials expansion to expansion. Some of them have gone multiple expansions without getting touched. There’s racial numbers that just make NO sense in TWW (zanda krag’wa buff giving 1000 armor for example)
expect it to be harsh as a new player, still plenty of fun to be had in random battlegrounds if you pick a class that appeals to you and is not too complex to play
@callme_fakez If I were you I would take my time creating my character. Make it look cool and makeup a backstpry in your mind. Play a class and spec that feels good and easy to understand with your style. Do not worry about being the best out the gate. There is so much to explore and many great stories to live through. The way to become the best is to become comfortable with your class cause even if it is nerfed and underpreforming you will be better than creating a new one every month. That said you probably will change your mind and want to try new characters so the biggest thing is to make sure you are having fun. Read the quests as you do them. Some are serious some are silly. In time learn keybindings that work for you so you can spend more time playing and not looking at your keyboard or clicking spells. ❤
Past week, I've made a post claiming it was time to nerf Nelf racial and been told L2P and several Nelf started to claim it wasn't even the best racial lol.
It's not the best racial depending on your class. For stealth classes like rogue or feral druid? It's the best and dare I say mandatory. For healers, it's the best for og arena where mana becomes an issue. Outside of that it mostly functions like an immunity frame ven was talking about. So no, it is not always the best racial. Warriors for example would get more use out of something like gnome or even tauren.
He wants to keep the 1 sec immune for shadowmeld? that is the most broken part. Just make it stealth only. Why should it do the same thing as fade, you need a PVP talent in order to immune for 1 sec. Or if you keep that make fade immune baseline.

If they're afraid of everybody just using the "best one" the number show that people are already doing that, only difference is if blizzard decide to balance the abilities, a decent chunk of the players have to then to change to the new best one, instead of playing the race they actually want to. Similar to covenants in Shadowlands, the problem wasn't with the balancing, the problem was with the punishment when you decided to try a different one.
worgan will be sick for locks to kite after soulburn port
being horde in retail makes no sense unless u're only doing pve...
Nightborne and Mag’har never fell behind, Blizz, they were f tier on day one.
If Gift of the naaru was 1min instead of 3, or the buffed 2, it'd be a good warlock racial to macro with healthstone.
An I frame would be great, the only other thing I can think of is make it a PVP talent for everyone.
i like the fact that i am not the only one that flies up to the mountain cause npc noises etc in dornogal are annoying af
I hate the fact that to play any caster outside elemental shaman I am ''forced'' to pick nelf for shadowmeld.
Imagine when blizz decides to gut night elf, and cash in on almost the entire wow population race changing multiple characters. Almost as if it was planned
They will never have the courage to nerf night elf. It's the most played race in the entire game, its been there since classic, the amount of people who love this race is unmatched. People would riot badly
I do think racials are bad for the game and i'd love if they made them just flavor cosmetics
Btw human is a solid A for me. Being able to run double damage trinket as a caster is very good, specially since as a caster you're usually the kill target so you don't need the medallion to get rid of a polymorph/clone/fear most of the time since these types of CC are not being used on you.
At minimum, shadowmeld should put trinket on a 30 sec CD like Will of the Forsaken does. Nerfing it to immunity fade would be fine by me (horde player) but might be too much.
Nelf is so good for such a specific reason that its not realistic to try and match that value for other races or classes even. I agree that I like it for the gameplay, in that context it makes it a racial that is incredibly powerful in the right hands but borderline useless if used poorly. I think that's a fine place to be if it was just that and not interacting with stealth or healer drinks.
For the rest it really comes down to utility and a bit of throughput. Nightborne's passive throughput racial is 1% magic damage which is borderline useless on most of the classes it can be. Like you're just down 1% damage if you're ever playing a nightborne warrior because you do 0 magic damage... which needs to be addressed. The active with the higher snare *could* be useful but it does absolutely no damage even after the buff and its cd is far too long. Maybe if it was a 1 minute cd or something it'd be worth putting on your bar but at 3 minutes its still so incredibly niche.
They really need to do so much more with so many of these.
Honestly, they should make Shadowmeld a 1 min CD.
Warrior catching more strays with these snares
Worgen in d tier. But they get 3 sprints as druids. And dark flight stacks with tireless pursuit PvP talent
holy, more Nelfs than horde in Pvp. thats wild.
I've used Night Elf Racial since 2007. It's a bit weird for me to ever lose it to be honest, it's a natural part of my ability use as a hunter. I'd rather racials all be made better than removing them and it would feel awful to me to lose it after playing with it for 17 years? I wouldn't be against Shadowmeld having a 3-5 minute cooldown and making the duration only last 3 seconds in pvp environments.
I just want old character models out I miss my old undead 😭
Dark iron and normal dwarfs are underrated
Problem with n811 is not the racial itsself - wasn’t a problem for years- but the new class/ racial combinations. Like mages, warlocks etc.
How is Kul Tiran A-tier someone please explain.
shadow meld doesnt drop combat if you are in group though, so in pve content like mythic+ or raiding its kinda useless.
Old dranei too was more op. 1,5 sec cast, interrupt racial dont interrupt healing spells so you use racial for all interrupts and after wasting all kicks you can freely cast everything.
It was heal spell only since wotlk
Before its anti kick spell
They should just make Shadowmeld put Medallion on a 30 second CD like it does with Dwarf racial and Undead racial.
quaking palm needs to be able to not break on 1hp damage
Giving meld a .5s would make it INSANELY broken in PVE. There are tons of tank busters and 1 shots they'll be able to just cheese through. Making it an will NEVER happen because of PVE.
tier lists make me rock hard
NE racial is nerfed since wotlk.
If you are in range they can break everytime your drinking.
1% crit/1% haste is broken.
Tbc/vanilia shadowmeld work when you are out of combat you just go stealth.
Imagine 0 mana, out of combat, you just start drinking and hide until you are full, and no one can find you if they cannot remember your position.
Since wotlk its sometimes help or not too much exiting out of combat, its better for breaking big dmg on low hp.
But old racial, when you can hide with water is too op, because NE will return only when he has full mana everytime. And you never catch them before they regain full mana
I like the flavor racials add nd tauren should be S tier. I'd like to see other races buffed to night elf standard
havent been able to actually get away with playing human for years. My rogue is still human for aesthetic but its awful. Removing racials for pvp period would actually nudge me to come back.
After the insane jukes ive pulled on void elf spriest the least mobile class in the game..
Yeah void elf is a tier for sure
But nothing is close to night elf lol
Dropping combat on demand alone is insane
Void Elf change is big.
Until blizzard fixes the literal plague of stealth and combat bugs for rogues they need not touch NE at least with meld I can actually restealth. So much fun getting randomly pulled from stealth or seeing a healer GAIN combat in the middle of a fear or blind. Gnome also completely changes gameplay for priests into boomies and warriors in general. We going to balance radials around specific classes? Simple solution make racial a selectable PvP talent in a 4th slot but wait…what about the revenue
Dreanei: your terrible ability that nobody has on their bar or has ever been pressed in pvp - reduced CD from 3 mins to 2 mins..
Zandalari: TURN INTO HAKKAR AND EVERYTHING INCREASED BY 300%
who thinks of this crap? just play gnome bois, can't go wrong with gnome. not having escape artist is a big oof
Mechagnomes are F- tier. They auto die when they hit 15% hp if a priest puts mindgames on them.
im sick of having to be a night elf
Venruki don't say we have seen enough tier lists from you. There can never be enough. Now get back in the kitchen and make me another tier list!! Pls
dracthyr is S-tier for rogues in blitz
I think it's a bad idea to associate aesthetics & racials togther. we should be able to pick what our character looks like + the racials we want.
Meld is game changing. The rest are whatever, only good because of the specific current meta - gnome dwarf etc.
Yes bro! Kul tiran is so good! More vers and the knockback punch is soooo good. I do it into a hex on my shammy
Im really excited about these changes 🎉
wish they would update undeads dps cd to do aoe dmg and do more dmg
If raising other current racials to melds power level was doable that would be ideal, but I don’t think you can. Either way it doesn’t seem like blizzard will ever commit the resources to balancing them. They’re making some super conservative changes here.
They can’t even make small number updates to these racials expansion to expansion. Some of them have gone multiple expansions without getting touched. There’s racial numbers that just make NO sense in TWW (zanda krag’wa buff giving 1000 armor for example)
Nothing will ever top Human during Cata
All I want is shadowmeld back to not usable in combat. Like 90% of the pvp population is Nelf and yet blizz doesn't notice or just doesn't care
Hey I’m actually thinking of starting wow tomorrow. How is pvp?
expect it to be harsh as a new player, still plenty of fun to be had in random battlegrounds if you pick a class that appeals to you and is not too complex to play
Maniacs will say, good. But im casual normal player and what i can say? Its very bad condition of PVP no balance at all.
@@Toasteradept what about leveling is there a certain way I should play. I want to experience the story as well.
@callme_fakez If I were you I would take my time creating my character. Make it look cool and makeup a backstpry in your mind. Play a class and spec that feels good and easy to understand with your style. Do not worry about being the best out the gate. There is so much to explore and many great stories to live through. The way to become the best is to become comfortable with your class cause even if it is nerfed and underpreforming you will be better than creating a new one every month. That said you probably will change your mind and want to try new characters so the biggest thing is to make sure you are having fun. Read the quests as you do them. Some are serious some are silly. In time learn keybindings that work for you so you can spend more time playing and not looking at your keyboard or clicking spells. ❤
@@callme_fakez generał Game is perfect :D
Make racials tiny little flavour things only, with no effect on actual gameplay, or just turn them off in arena/BG
Past week, I've made a post claiming it was time to nerf Nelf racial and been told L2P and several Nelf started to claim it wasn't even the best racial lol.
It's not the best racial depending on your class. For stealth classes like rogue or feral druid? It's the best and dare I say mandatory. For healers, it's the best for og arena where mana becomes an issue. Outside of that it mostly functions like an immunity frame ven was talking about. So no, it is not always the best racial. Warriors for example would get more use out of something like gnome or even tauren.
void elf gonna have a blink now lol
He wants to keep the 1 sec immune for shadowmeld? that is the most broken part. Just make it stealth only. Why should it do the same thing as fade, you need a PVP talent in order to immune for 1 sec. Or if you keep that make fade immune baseline.
as prot supporterino draenei is amazing
I´d love to have the racials as abilities u can choose from instead of being forced to play xyz race because u want ryz effect.
