Changes to Racials Likely Coming Next Week in WoW: Forever

In the most recent episode of the WoW: Forever Podcast, Aggrend has announced that changes to racial abilities are coming, and that we should expect to see them in next week's beta update.

Racial abilities have been an incredibly hot topic in WoW Forever. When comparing certain races' unique abilities, such as a Dwarf to an Orc, it seems almost incomparable. Common complaints from the community have been how strong Orc racial abilities are in general, and when Dwarves are the only race on the Alliance that can be Shaman, it also causes some issues with overall faction balance.

Aggrend said:

"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?"

As Aggrend mentioned, Troll and Orc active racials like Berserking and Blood Fury have been seen as incredibly strong with the rest of their combined racial abilities and passives. It's been seen by the community that overall, Horde racials seem to outpower Alliance, and we may see some balancing next week.
