wow Mechagnome & Vulpera Racials Preview

[Stan 5,020]

Our preview of Patch 8.3 continues with a first look at racial abilities of the upcoming Allied Races.

Mechagnome Racials

Mechagnomes have two active abilities available at level 24. The first one allows you to summon clones to distract enemies and the second one allows you to open locked chests and doors that require Lockpicking.

• Hyper Organic Light Originator - Summon Organic Light duplicates to distract your foes. (Instant, 3 min cooldown)
• Skeleton Pinkie - Allows opening of locked chests and doors that require a skill level of up to 600. (1.5 min cooldown)

As a Mechagnome, your limbs work as a Blacksmithing Anvil, Cooking Fire, and Mining Forge. You have a self-heal at your disposal, which heals you for a fifth of your total health whenever you fall below 20% health. The final passive racial passive gradually increases your primary stat (Int/Str/Agi) by 50 every 5 seconds, up to a maximum of 400 when fighting the same target.

The following racial passives are available to Mechagnomes:

• Combat Analysis - You gather and analyze combat data every 5 sec, increasing your primary stat by 50, stacking up to 8 times. The data decays while out of combat.
• Mastercraft - You function as a personal Blacksmithing Anvil, Cooking Fire, and Mining Forge. In addition, your limbs include every profession tool.
• [NYI]
• Re-Arm - When you fall below 20% health, heal for 20% of your maximum health. This effect cannot occur more than once every 2.5 min.
• Languages - Common, Gnomish.

Vulpera Racials

Active abilities embrace the scavenger/camping fantasy of the Vulpera. You can set up a camp and return back on a 1-hour cooldown. Next, you have a bag of tricks, used to heal your allies or deal damage to enemies.

• Bag of Tricks - Pull your chosen trick from the bag and use it on target enemy or ally. Enemies take 14 damage, while allies are healed for 28. (Instant, 1.5 min cooldown)
• Rummage Your Bag - Change the contents of your Bag of Tricks. Now where did you put that...? [NYI] (5 sec cast, 5 min cooldown)
• Make Camp - Make a camp at this location. Can only be used outdoors. (5 sec cast)

The racial creates a camp with fire, a tent and an explosive backpack at your location. You can use Return to Camp as your secondary Hearthstone on a 60-minute cooldown to return back. The camp is visible for others for five minutes and then disappears.

• Return to Camp - Return to your camp. (10 sec cast, 60 min cooldown)

When used, there's a short cutscene with a caravan transporting you back to your camp.

Passive abilities include a Fire damage reduction by 1%, 5% damage reduction when you first take an enemy hit, and you can find additional bags of goods whenever you kill a humanoid.

The following racial passives are available to the Vulpera:

• Fire Resistance - Reduces Fire damage taken by 1%.
• Nose For Trouble - When you first take damage from an enemy, reduce that damage by 5% of your maximum health.
• Vulpera Survival Kit - You have a chance to find an additional satchel of goods when you kill a humanoid.
• Languages - Orcish, Vulpera.

For now.

Once enough people have race changed and Blizzard have made their money, they will nerf them into the ground to be almost useless.

I'd faction change just for the Mecha racials but I know they'll be nerfed within a month of release if not before plus I don't think I could put up with looking at such a fugly character all the time, they need to make them less gimpy looking.

Vulpera Survival Kit the items from this are still dropping way to much got another 10k worth of mats in only 3hours of farming/lvling i cant see it going live with this drop rate

Mechagnome racials seem pretty op, but not many people are going to play them. Still, they will probably get nerfed eventually. Vulpera for sure, since they are going to be way more popular. Especially that one for gathering materials.
