Kul Tiran & Zandalari Troll Racials

Recommended Posts

wkXwtgF.jpg

Patch 8.1.5 is now available for testing on PTR and first, we're looking at Kul Tiran and Zandalari Troll racials that are have been added to the game.

With a 25% heal per second (Regeneratin' Regeneratin') and two other active abilities, Zandalari Trolls have far better racials than Kul Tirans right now, although we assume Regeneratin' Regeneratin' might get nerfed in future 8.1.5 builds.

Here are the new Allied Races racials as of Patch 8.1.5 Build 28938:

Kul Tiran Human Racials

  • Haymaker Haymaker - Wind up, then unleash your might upon your foe, dealing 66 Physical damage, stunning for 3 sec sec, and knocking them back substantially. (6 yd range, 1 sec cast, 2.5 min cooldown)
  • Brush It Off Brush It Off - Increases Versatility by 1%. When you take damage, heal for 2% of that amount over 4 sec.
  • Child of the Sea Child of the Sea - Hold your breath for 50% longer and swim 10% faster.
  • Jack of All Trades Jack of All Trades - Increases all Tradeskills by 5.
  • Rime of the Ancient Mariner Rime of the Ancient Mariner - Reduces Frost and Nature damage taken by 1%.

Zandalari Troll Racials

  • Embrace of the Loa Embrace of the Loa - Choose your Loa to gain a powerful effect. Implementation of the racial is not yet finalized and choosing an "aura" has a cooldown of 25 days on PTR:
    • Embrace of Akunda Embrace of Akunda - Your healing abilities have a chance to heal their target for [ Greater of {400% of Spell Power} or {400% of Attack Power * pctD * (1 + 0)} ] (Instant, 2 procs per minute)
    • Embrace of Bwonsamdi Embrace of Bwonsamdi - Your damaging abilities have a chance to deal [ Greater of {66% of Spell Power} or {66% of Attack Power * pctD * (1 + 0)} ] Shadow damage and heal you for 100% of the damage done. (Instant, 3 procs per minute)
    • Embrace of Gonk Embrace of Gonk - Increase movement speed by 5%. (Instant)
    • Embrace of Kimbul Embrace of Kimbul - Your damaging abilities have a chance to cause the target to bleed for [ Greater of {66% of Spell Power} or {66% of Attack Power * pctD * (1 + 0)} * 3 ] over 6 sec. This effect stacks up to 3 times. (Instant, 2 procs per minute)
    • Embrace of Krag'wa Embrace of Krag'wa - Taking damage has a chance to grant you [ Greater of {300% of Spell Power} or {300% of Attack Power * pctD * (1 + 0)} ] additional Health and [ Greater of {50% of Spell Power} or {50% of Attack Power * pctD * (1 + 0)} ] Armor.

I was already hyped to play Kul Tiran Humans, but this made me even more excited.

But as I'm not surprised, the Zandalari has OP racials, typical.

4 sec. channel for "Regeneratin'" makes it rather useless in combat, when they can be interrupted, knocked back or stunned. Interesting how often "Brush it off" is going to trigger, might be either pretty good or useless. Zandalari seems pretty strong with how they can switch one of their racials, no other races had anything like this so far.

Zandalari are also gonna be Paladins. So it's gonna be Bubble + free Lay On Hands every time you fight one, As if paladins weren't annoying enough

Good point, didn't think about specific class. If it works inside of the bubble, good luck with trying to solo kill a paladin (even worse in prot spec, since it scales with % hp, enemy player might as well go to sleep while lone dps is trying to kill him). ?

Then cast Loa's blessing on himself, snap fingers and erase that lone monk from the existense.

There really isnt any lore for the Kul Tiran paladin.  They worship the sea.

I can totally see where bliz comes from here.

Kul Tirans are more animistic and druidic in their beliefs, while priests still exist there (mostly related to Tidesages), there is no paladin order. Similar case with Gilneas, which is more druidic, what they call "the old ways" and their relative isolation, likely not a good place for Silver Hand either. Also, Kul Tiras was founded by sailors from Gilneas.

Zandalari Brew Master Monk. Just... Wow... Ring, channel, full heal. Or Prot Paladin with their bubble/taunt talent, channel. Or any DPS that can stand out and do it.

Frankly I'll be absolutely amazed if it makes it to live like this. I'm not one to buy into the "OP Racials" Alliance salt but here? They'd have a point.

      The World First Mythic Fyrakk kill triggered Fyr'alath to start dropping in the whole region next reset and in our latest post, we're looking at how to get the Legendary weapon!
      Fyr'alath the Dreamrender will start dropping on live servers starting with the weekly reset, but the Legendary Axe comes in different stages and effects.
      The initial legendary consumable drops from Fyrakk. Apparently, it has an increased drop chance on higher difficulties. Once equipped, players will be overwhelmed with shadowflame (Fyr'alath the Dreamrender) and must embark on a questline to unlock the item level 500 Legendary axe.
      The axe comes with two effects (please note the placeholder values):
      Rage of Fyr'alath - Unleash the Rage of Fyr'alath to charge towards your target and swing repeatedly, dealing 0 Shadowflame damage over 3 sec to all who would stand in your way. (Instant, 25 yd range, 2 min cooldown) Fyr'alath the Dream Render - Your attacks apply Mark of Fyr'alath, dealing 0 Shadowflame damage over 15 sec. Upon activation, Fyr'alath draws in the flames from all marks to increase its damage by 10%. Upon equipping the consumable that drops from Fyrakk, you will receive a quest and must visit a Shadowflame expert named Eadweard Dalyngrigge, located in Thaldraszus who will tell you to gather 3 components to withstand the heat so you can equip the weapon. This is very similar to the Evoker Legendary Questline.
      You must get the following items obtainable from professions/crafting:
      Erden's Glowspore Grip (Leatherworking) Lydiara's Binding Rune (Inscription) Shalasar's Sophic Vellum (Enchanting) However, they are to as easy to get as you may think...
      To craft Erden's Dreamleaf Grip, you will need:
      400 Zaralek Glowspores 3 Obsidian Cobraskin 5 Dreaming Essence 50 Mireslush Hide 1 Prototype Dreamleaf Grip To receive 1 Prototype Dreamleaf Grip, you must gather 200 Shadowed Dreamleaves from Superblooms. 
      The next item you will need is Lydiara's Binding Rune. This requires:
      10 Shadowflame Essence 250 Cosmic Ink 50 Runed Writhebark 1 Prototype Binding Rune You must collect 50 Taut Tethercoils from Emerald Dream Rares to receive 1 Prototype Binding Rune. This isn't a 100% drop rate, so this quest may take a while to complete.
      The final item is Shalasar's Sophic Vellum. Crafting it requires the following reagents:
      150 Awakened Fire 100 Awakened Earth 50 Awakened Order 200 Resonant Crystal 1 Prototype Order Vellum Finally, you must gather 20 Radiant Flecks of Ash from powerful gear with Ashen Dowsing Rod. Basically, you're disenchanting Season 3 gear for quest items here. Once you've accrued 20 pieces, you will get 1 Prototype Order Vellum.
      Once you have all 3 items, you can presumably wield the Legendary Axe, but nobody has obtained it yet on live servers, so there may be some additional steps and quests that we haven't covered here.

      We have some additional smaller changes to a few classes in PvE and PvP in today's hotfixes, as well as dungeon and raid adjustments, and Emerald Bounty change, as well as some quest fixes that have been in place a while, and more.
      November 27 (Source)
      Classes
      Monk Mistweaver The 2-piece class set Chi Harmony now only increases healing taken from Monk abilities. The 4-piece class set Chi Harmony no longer accumulates healing taken by Revitalizing Voodoo Totem. Paladin Protection Fixed an issue causing Cleansing Flame to deal incorrect damage and healing when cast on a target with vulnerability or increased healing taken. Warlock Demonology Fixed an issue where Soul Strike would be relearned whenever Felguard is summoned. Felguard should now prioritize using Soul Strike once it’s off cooldown. Dungeons and Raids
      Darkheart Thicket Fixed an issue that caused Oakheart’s Crushing Grip damage to pierce immunities. Galakrond’s Fall Interval no longer triggers on-death affixes. The Everbloom Melded Berserker’s Bounding Whirl inflicts damage every 1.5 seconds (was 1 second). Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope Nymue Fixed an issue where Cycle Wardens were not correctly scaling for larger raid sizes on Normal difficulty. Events
      Emerald Bounty contributions in the last 2 seconds of the event will no longer consume a seed or give credit for a contribution. This should help guarantee all loot earned is properly credited. Items
      Fixed an issue where Smoldering Seedling would fail to trigger from healing abilities in quick succession. Player versus Player
      PvP gear with Champion and Hero upgrade tracks should no longer display incorrect PvP ilvl increases when previewed in the upgrade UI. Mage Frost Fixed an issue where Frost Bomb’s explosion was triggering on the incorrect target when reflected. Rogue Fixed issues with Caustic Spatter, Sanguine Blades, Shadow Blades, and Replicating Shadows that caused them to unintentionally keep the Rogue and enemy player in combat. Subtlety Fixed an issue that prevented Eviscerate from dealing bonus shadow damage with Shadowed Finishers talented. Quests
      Fixed an issue where Dragon Isles Drakes: White Scales were not awarded when completing the quest “Time to Process”. Players that have already completed the quest will receive the item via mail. Players who did not receive the intended weekly amount of Echoed Ephemera for “The Power of Dreams” will receive these missing items in their mail.

      Blizzard have responded to players' comments on the relative small amount of class tuning coming with this week's reset, explaining their reasoning and stating that there will be more coming next week.
      Tuning Response (Source)
      This afternoon, we posted about class tuning that we’re doing tomorrow. These changes were informed by class performance over the first two weeks of the season.
      When a new season begins, we collect a huge amount of data about class performance, item acquisition rates, PvP statistics, etc. During this time we will fix any critical, disruptive, or otherwise immediate problems that come up as quickly as we can. We also need to be careful about any changes we plan and ensure we have adequate data to make informed decisions, and then additionally need time for testing the changes we’re making to avoid further issues. Alongside the changes in the above link, we’re planning to send an additional batch of tuning changes that will be released during restarts on the week of December 5th, which will probably include some buffs and some nerfs.
      We’ll continue to make adjustments regularly, based on data and feedback, but probably not as often later in the season compared to these early few weeks.

      Blizzard has announced some more class changes coming with this week's reset! 4 classes are affected in both PvE and PvE, with Frost Death Knights getting the most changes, including set bonuses from both Aberrus and Amirdrassil getting tweaked.

      Week 2 of Amirdrassil raiding brings us an even fuller picture, as so many more guilds have finished things up and added their data to the logs! Assassination is the new all-king, as the spec is literally at the top of every chart, so let's dive in and see.
      Don't forget, we're focusing on Heroic for a while, as the Mythic numbers are just very unreliable at the moment, with so few guilds having even gotten through half the raid.
      Heroic
      Overall Damage 95th Percentile
      Beast Mastery's fix brings it down even further in week 2, losing another two spots as Assassination moves even further in front, in ALL categories. Havoc and Demo are pushing up at BM's expense, and Arcane is very much on the rise as well. Enhancement actually gains the most spots at the top, 3 up into 6th, while Balance drops 2. Unholy moves two up as the last patch No.1 is still doing pretty good, leaving Fury and Subtletly to close out the top 10. Windwalker joins the bottom 3, where Destruction has fallen to the very last spot, and Augmentation remembers its glory days from down low.
      Update: I mentioned this last week but forgot this week: Augmentation's damage is not very accurate and is considerably higher than what is seen here because of the way it's logged. You can check out this video for the details (thanks for the reminder Sweaksh).

      95th percentile Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Overall Damage All Percentiles
      Yellow is on top everywhere this week, and we see a very similar top 10 here, with only Arcane standing out a little, 1 higher than last week. Marksmanship is the new addition to the bottom 3.

      All percentiles Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
      Another massive lead for Assassination, with Arcane and Enhancement the closest to it, as the top 10 looks very similar to the AoE rankings above, even in the bottom.

      All percentiles Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Normal
      Overall Damage All Percentiles
      While it's still on top here in the land of many logs, Assassination still comes out on top, but Arcane is right behind it and looking to take over, as the shorter fights give it even more power. Unholy is also doing better here, with Arms pushing into 6th and representing Warriors at the top instead of Fury. We even see Devastation make an appearance in the top 10!

      All percentiles Notmal data by Warcraft Logs.
      Mythic
      Overall Damage All Percentiles
      So I guess we're peeking in on Mythic every week now, huh? While many more guilds have ventured into Amirdrassil's hardest difficulty, very VERY few have gotten past the 4th boss, so the numbers are still very swingy. Assassination still reigns supreme, however, but we see Marksmanship at the other end of the spectrum from the other difficulties. Other than that Outlaw an Elemental are doing better as well, and we have a combo of both Evokers at the very bottom.

      All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
