Orc and Troll racials may change next week
Racial abilities in World of Warcraft: Forever are likely to change in next week’s beta update. Blizzard is looking at the active racials of Orcs and Trolls, which may be a little too strong. Senior Game Designer Josh Greenfield said it on 8 October.
Greenfield, known as Aggrend, talked about it in the third episode of The WoW: Forever Podcast. Besides the actives, Blizzard is also looking at the racials that raise weapon skill:
Looking at things like actives such as the Orc and the Troll abilities and how strong they are, perhaps a little too strong, also things like weapon skill abilities… Do we want to keep those or do we want to replace those with something else?
The active racials are
Blood Fury for Orcs and
Berserking for Trolls. Which changes Blizzard has in mind, is not known.
Why racials are under discussion
Racials have been a point of discussion since the start of the beta. Many players find the Horde racials stronger than those of the Alliance. Dwarves are also the only Alliance race that can be a Shaman, which affects the balance between the factions.
Every race in Forever has four racials. The full table, with every racial per race, is on Classes.
