Class Racials in WoW: Forever Receive Tuning Adjustments in Latest Build

Many racials were changed or tuned in the latest WoW: Forever build, including more adjustments to Gnome racials and buffs to Plainsrunning.

Racials have been a hot topic for Forever players, especially Gnomes - Eureka! has already been through several rounds of tuning from its initial state. Many racials, such as Orc's Axe Specialization, are being reworked altogether to move away from specific weapon bonuses, which has the potential to make players feel less locked-in on certain race/class combinations for optimal play.

Note: strikethrough text marks wording that was removed or replaced in this build.
