So now the 'leaked' traits are officially official!

Finally, no more whining about undead trait unfairness... the list is impressive both factions.

What do you think?

Overall they look decent to me, although plenty of people are still whining. I don't understand how so many players can complain when they haven't tested it.... and some are even taking it the wrong way. When things say "increase skill", it doesn't mean "increased damage".

[Ejsu]

They all seem pretty good to me. We really need more info on duration and how much the traits increase.

im wondering the recast time and length of will of forsaken atm, cause if u cant use it often then undead seem kind of gimped if u think about their weaknesses

Undead are now considered Humanoid, so they don't really have a weakness anymore.

[Evolox]

I can't decide if I should make my rogue troll or UD now...

[kernel16]

LMAO i feel pity for humans now they suck badly... UD still are way betetr and even better now that they are no longer considered UD so no more paly tracking...

Yup its over for alliance, even the sneak peak on paly talents im not too impresed by them.

on the other hand gnomes have a scary looking trait...

"Escape Artist: Activate to break out of a Root or Snare effect"

wonder whats the cooldown on it

[Jumai]

Gnomes mages for the win? Extra int, unstunnable, unrootable, unsnareable, but plenty of root and snare of their own. That's really not very nice.

Must admit, trolls got the short end of the stick for weapon specs. Who actually uses thrown weapons that often?

Gnome mages/warlocks always seemed to be the most lethal to me anyways -- at least I always seemed to die to gnomes more than others, except palies (as undead previously)... hence my dislike of the little creeps! :wink: I actually think this is a great trait for gnomes and will definitely make the little fellows even more hated than before. Perfect!

I would wait until we actually see these things implemented before passing judgement. While powerful in text, the traits could have little use ingame. All of these traits seem too powerful to "not be race-changing important" (as stated by the devs earlier).

[Ralrra]

Also keep in mind there's nothing stated about what the cooldown timer is. Who knows, there could be a 3 hour in-game cooldown on that gnome escape ability. There's lots of numbers not factored in to that list.

Alliance got the worst of it, mostly because of the undead change.

But the human talent, wtf is that?

Its for the best though, considering if WMD goes alliance in retail (and seeing the way alliance has been getting thier asses kicked by horde im assuming we will) chances are Horde gets nerfed, or alliance gets some over power patch (thats the way it usually goes) and I hate being nerfed :D

THe stoneform trait is kinda funny ! Stoneform = AC boost ? eh not for blizz :D

Dwarfen should have base ac or more hps like tauren.

I'm annoyed at the human talent.

Think about it from a priest's perspective -> They're getting a spirit buff right off the bat. How can we not be jealous of that? :(

hmm perhaps you wouldnt be jealous because spirit is next to useless in pvp and Undead special ability makes them a clearly superior priest?

On another note, In the patch notes it states that undead are now considered humanoid. Since it's not in their racial traits anymore, guessing they can be poly'd now... yey.
