A world of Warcraft beginner's class guide, where I break down all the different Race you can play describing unique move sets and how they impact your experience. More of a WoW new player guide or a refresher as the next expansion dragonflight is coming out later in 2022 as choosing the right race to play is important.

Vulpera's 'Make Camp' is actually super useful and underrated. I like to speed level new characters pretty often and I've found that I'm actually leveling faster with Vulpera than I am with Troll or any other race. Only downside is having to explain why I'm playing Vulpera lol. Humans Best race tho you can't change my mind

I am pretty sure the Orcish blood fury also increases magical damage. It didn't use to do that until like Wrath (don't remember exactly when it started doing magical boost for classes that could do magical damage). It also reduced healing you would take as a drawback for some time. Good it's no longer doing that. Also Tauren passive doesn't give you extra 2% chance to crit, it gives you extra 2% crit damage or healing. Meaning your chance to crit stays the same, but if you crit, it deals a little bit more damage or healing. I like that on my Tauren Elemental Shaman, because Lava Burst spell which is the main source of damage is guaranteed to crit basically all the time. So it gets 2% more damage all the time. Blood Elf active ability used to instead of removing magical effects silence up to 5 enemies around you for 1.5 seconds I think. Basically an AoE interrupt. It was really powerful and useful, and it was like this all the way till the end of Legion. It being basically removed was the greatest downgrade in racials that was ever done. I don't remember ever using that ability after the nerf, except for misclick or misremembering that it no longer interrupts. It almost never happens that you can remove powerful magical effect from the enemy. Most really powerful ones cannot be removed, and the weak ones are a waste of global cooldown to remove. Plus it only works in melee.

@Rohan_Trishan 2 ай бұрын

Yea Blood Elves losing the aoe silence was a pretty big nerf.... that was an op racial and very useful in dungeons or pvp. An aoe dispel is alright, cause as you mentioned it is very rare to have an offensive dispel tht can remove magic buffs, but will be more situationally useful compared to the silence effect. I think it only removes one magic effect too so limited since most classes have multiple magic buffs. I'll prob still roll a Belf pally tho since they dont get any purge or offensie dispel, so it will be useful as a melee class.

not quite, though the racial differences are small enough that they can be glossed over. For exemple a worgen DK is a pretty nice combination, because DKs in any specs have low mobility and darkflight is a very welcome mobility boost for such a slowpoke. It's not why I use that race/class combination, but it's nice that there is genuine benefits to that choice

I don't like that lot of the Horde allied races got shit racials. Maghar Orc is the best example. The reduced duration on poisons and such is very... small. Only 10%, and most negative effects have either Absurdly long duration like 10 minutes, which means you will still have it for the entire combat, or the enemies keep reapplying them, or both. Which means that it almost never reduces the duration. The mount speed increase would be incredible... but Blizzard came up with mount speed limit. If you have guild perk and pathfinder, you already hit that upper limit even without that passive. Which means also never applies. Pet health is less useful than pet damage, because it will only make sense when you want the pet to tank. And that is only leveling. And only for hunter. Death Knight doesn't have his pet to tank for him, and Maghar cannot be Warlocks for lore reasons. The Ancester Call is the only useful one, though very little still. Vulpera also got a short end of the stick. Reducing the first strike is rather meh, because it's reduced for very little, and it's only the first strike, even if the combat lasts for 15 minutes. And the Vial for healing or damage doesn't scale with gear for some reason. Which means that in the end game its a waste of global cooldown to use it. Even as emergency heal it does laughably small healing.

Me as a Blood Elve nearly only Player (ca 90% of my Charas be Female Blood Elve) can say you in PvE gaves it nearly nothing better. Only Orc, Troll and the 2 Hucow Races be nearly so good form the race Ablitly and form the Utilty Part cames only at the Ali Site Races at it. Night Elves and the 2 Dwarf Races be nearly so good that they can contest the Blood Elve OP Abilty ^^

I love how he calls the vulpera the furry class, but not the tauren, pandaren, worgen, or dracthyr. Either was, decent guide, but a lot of not-so-great information. He's definitely putting a lot more emphasis on the percentage racials, but in reality it doesn't make that much of a difference...which I think is funny considering at the end of the video he literally says that it doesn't matter. Talk about contradicting yourself and making the video kind of pointless. Lol. If anything, the real thing to consider is the racial abilities and think about what kind of content you're going to play rather than class. Honestly, the best way to pick is just choose what you think looks cool.

My hope is that Blizzards next expansion will include hybrids! So like there could be Troks (Troll and Orcs of either Allied race or normal), there could be Pandapera (Pandaren + Vulper) though i think that might just make an anthropomorphic Pomeranian. It could also make it so every race could be undead. Maybe even make the hybrids apart of an entirely new faction! I think Unity would be a good faction name for hybrids. To make things not overpowered though maybe making it so the game picks what abilities you get from the two races you pick. If people didn't like them World Of Warcraft could sell rerolls as a new type of service. Some racial traits would stay on no matter what of course like the Vulperas camping ability and the Worgens ability to run on all fours. This idea right here is money BLIZZARD HIRE ME AS YOUR NEW IDEA CREATOR PLEEEEASE!
