upgrade your race abilities ? 2nd try
-
@WiliemDemon It's nowhere close to being balanced and i don't want to be forced and pick my character appearance (race) around it's perks.
-
And now you choose a race according to what? By what he looks like or by extra abilities? And the fact that there are racial abilities in the game makes the game unbalanced, I'm just suggesting that we have more options to customize our characters.
And in what else do you see that it is not equal? In purebred bonus skills ?
what race you play ?
-
@WiliemDemon Right now racial bonuses are almost meaningless in PvE (except for Blood elves AoE silence / Tauren's Stomp in M+) and i'd preffer it to stay that way.
I play dreanei.

@PeacefulNPC
But WoW is not only about pve but also about pvp and in pve ork (+ SP and AP for a certain time) and troll (haste for a certain time) also have an advantage, similarly, a human (3% spirit= heal) and a gnome (3% int spell dps cast) tauren has its own stun, but how many times do you use it in pvp or pve as a tank? (0.5 sec cast )And for you like Draenaei when you can use Arcane torrent and War stomp with shared 20 sec CD is bad ? What I think it could be good but you don't think so.
plus can have gift of the naaru with 30 sec CD, heroic presence 2nd option 3% hit chance only for you and gemcutting 2nd option +0 jewel. + 15% chance make 2nd gem
but yes it is bad

This Orc & Troll racial "trinkets" are neglectable. You can check retail/TBC wow sims - racials are responsible for 2-4% dps diffrence between best and worst race for almost all classes.
Meanwhile your propositions are straight up broken and would force every even remotely competitive player to pick certain race according to content he will play. You could observe results of racials being OP in pre-SL MDI, competitive raider.io groups... not to mention Mythic Raiding scene.
This kind of stuff is extremly unhealthy for the game and i hope your propositions will never go live.
-
@PeacefulNPC So, I'm sorry that I thought it might be more fun with what I'm proposing, but I probably shouldn't come up with anything else and start learning to program or do something else.
-
@WiliemDemon I'm always up for fun, but what you proposed affects survivability / damage output. A lot of us like to optimize our characters and while 2-4% diffrence is something we can afford to ignore in order to play character we like - your proposition would affect survivability/DPS output in too meaningfull way and lead to situations like:
"HEY LOOK SOME IDIOT MADE AN UNDEAD TANK ! Did you realy thought you can compete agains 5% damage reduction on Tauren with your shitty ass Canibalize ? Get lost noob !"
Am i overreacting ? Possibly but unlikely. I don't see even a slightest chance our raid leader would ever take anything but Tauren/Night elf as a main tank and i as a healer would completly agree with that choice (not to mention i'd change race too).
-
@PeacefulNPC but in me suggestions no need be tauren for be tank with +5% damage reduction you can be like Draenei and still can get this +5% damage reduction or +7% stamina maybe you didn't quite get it. Because it depends on your choice what you take and improve for your racial ability. You just have to lvl up the character from which you want some racial ability. Similar to prestige now but with a new character that will then be deleted and you can find out its racial abilities.
2x you get all racial abilities and 10x you can choose 1 to get or improve
-
let's say you like to play heal and at the same time you want to play for Draenei
so you can lvl up 2x other new chars with same race (Draenei) and so you get purebred Draenai bonus skills and all Draenei racials rank 3 (+ you unlock 2 more proffesions)
and then you can lvl up Human and take his -the human spirit- (+3% spirit rank 1) next can lvl up again Human and upgrade this passive (+5% spirit) and next again human for (7% spirit or 3% spirit + heal aura) and then can lvl up maybe gnome for his -expansive mind- (+3% int) and so on until a maximum of ten
and yes i know some combination can be better and some can be bad but it is again only your choice
-
@WiliemDemon I love RPG's and i like doing "meaningfull choices" but this is not RPG - it is MMOrpg (yes, rpg with small cases as it secondary aspect of this game).
Recently in ShadowLands Blizzard wanted to implement "meaningfull choice" in terms of picking covenants... you know what were the results ?
https://www.wowhead.com/news/tracking-covenant-popularity-by-spec-in-shadowlands-launch-to-castle-nathria-to-321560 (look at post-castlenathria as this is when covenant passives came into play)
I played Resto Druid and as you can see from graphs 90% of us decided to go nightfae. Did i like nightfae ? Hell NO, i despise them and wanted to be necrolord but their ability was just too powerfull.
What about other classes ? Well in some cases there was diffrent BIS covenant for raiding/m+/pvp but as the data shows - almost all classes have 80%+ playerbase sticking to dominant covenant.Is it realy a choice if you have dominant option ? Or is it just another layer of grind / picking Best-In-Slot ability ? If it's just another layer of grind then why introducing it at all ?
If they ever introduce that "racials" then i will just grind them with aura+potion in no-time. You know what 95% of my guild will do ? They will grind it with aura+potion.
At this point whole "rpg" element will be reduced to extra grind - then what's the diffrence between "racial" and "enchant" i need to grind gold for ?
