[Blackveiled]

Okay, this is starting to tick me off, people STILL think the Blood Elves have better racials. If you think so, then thats just ridiculous and you need to quit WoW now.

Personally I like Dranei just because they look lots better.

 

[Cornface]

Blood elf racials are awesome. And the girls don't look to wrong either

Draenei is awesome too, I just don't like the dialect, in fact, I hate it.

(Nothing bad ment to you russian people. But I just don't think it fits with the Draeneis)

 

[Kevin]

I have no idea how any of you can think draenei abilities are better.

First of all, blood elves have a free silence ability. AoE silence, even for 2 seconds, is god in pvp. Honestly, this is absolutely ridiculous imbalance pvp wise.

That HoT that draenei have is weak and pathetic. +1% chance to hit? COME ON! It's just pathetic! +% chance to hit is almost useless for casters. I don't think I've ever needed a + chance to hit with any of my spells. And as far as melee goes, it's only barely useful against dodging rogues and hunters! at 1% it's not even worth while.

Then the Blood Elves have Mana Drain, another over powered ability in PvP specifically because it's useable every 30 seconds.

umm...Draenei have way worse abilities. Teh Gift of the Naaru is good..bu thow much does it heal...and one more thing, 180 Sec. cooldown. and the healign is over 15 sec, so...blood elves have a 30 sec cooldown Mana Drain and while your healing over 15 sec, once every 3 minutes (cooldown),your gettign your ass kicked in a fight. The 1% is usless like Kevin said.

Blood Elves

Mana Tap

Arcane Torrent

Arcane Affinity

Ok, first iff the 30 sec cooldown on Mana Drain is very usfull, and is a good spell for killing casters or getting an advantage. The Arcane torrent has a 2min cooldown (a full min less than the healign the Draenei have.) and the silence is AoE and OWNS in PvP just liek Kevin Said. And one more thing Kev didnt point out... The Arcane Affinity. For all of you who have ever done enchanting knows its costly and harder to level up than other professions. Now saving you 10 whole levels of it...thats a weight off any future blood elf enchanter out there. Also, while the draenei have a shadow resistence, the blood elves have an all around resistence. Just not as high...but still better.


Plain and simple they both have good points...but the Blood elves have better good poitns, and more of em. The Draenei definently have a better paladin starting racials than the BE though. And ONE more thing. Blood elves look awsome (except for the fact they stand lie ktheyre gay or have a spinal issue.) and they are awsome...Draenei are smurfs!

(sorry for double post but I want to make this clear, and not lost in other post.)

I just went on WoW community site...ya...the two races are pretty even in racials.

The Arcane Torrent, the awsome PvP silencer, is for rogues only. And the Mana Tap can stack up to 3 times on the caster. The arcane torrent gives the rogue 10 energy for each mana tap charge on them also.

So this limits it a little for BE, but I still think they have an advantage.

I never checked the Draenei racials there but im not going to right now so you guys do it. Just had to make the Arcane Torrents true effect or requirements stated here.

 

[Kevin]

well one of the big issues here is giving just the Blood Elves the only paladins who can silence/counter a spell caster on a regular basis.

This has been a major frustration for paladins -- their total inability to handle casters in pvp.

 

[Sim]

He just said Silence is for rogues only, so Blood Elf paladins won't be able to Silence. Counter casters? With what? Silence? It is for rogues, so there's nothing left. Mana tap is a joke. It burns like 100 mana.

 

[Lord_Phoenix]

Well, I think they need to buff troll and orc abilities seriously. Maybe tauren, but I never played one. Also, Somebetter troll priest racials, too...

 

[Sim]

Buff Humans... Buff Gnomes, Dwarves, NEs

 

[Kevin]

human spirit, mace specialization, sword specialization and diplomacy are not great abilities by any stretch of the imagination.

I mean jesus, diplomacy and spirit!?

One class benefits from heavy high spirit - priests. And diplomacy is just -- :shake:

Compared to human racials, blood elf, troll and orc racials are game breaking.

What's your point in saying this? Human sucks, I can know it, I had a server where the alliance was all immature and the horde ruled!

 

[Kevin]

I was replying to an above poster who wanted orc and troll buffs.

 

[g1real]

Lol sorry, that post was kind of unneeded anyway, got annoyed by something.

Anyhow, Last time i played WoW (like... 5 months ago) i was quite bored off WoW, i might return due to BC.

And i say the blood elf dominates way more (even if it req. a certain class) then the dranei... +1% chance to hit.. what kind of story is behind that, do they have better eyes? Or is it a critical %?

 

[NoxMortus]

The Arcane Torrent, the awsome PvP silencer, is for rogues only. And the Mana Tap can stack up to 3 times on the caster. The arcane torrent gives the rogue 10 energy for each mana tap charge on them also.

Eh? Hardly a Blood elf racial ability then is it, it's more of a race/class combo bonus...

 

[Husky]

Buff Humans... Buff Gnomes, Dwarves, NEs

Buff Orcs/Tauren/Trolls please. Only racial I use on my Tauren is Warstomp ( <3 ) and +15 to Flower picking.

But seriously, Draenei Priests get a second Fear Ward. Where's the Hordes Fear Ward?

 

[Sim]

You got more shamen, so you can drop Tremor Totems to combat fear. We only have 1 class than can be shaman

P.S. Or is it grounding totem?

 

[Leet-Pete]

I thought Blood elf was the best.
But I don't play WoW anymore so, meh.

 

[DDRtists]

Hey guys! How about you just play the game and not get so technical!
