Racials out of date

[Marathal]

I know Forsaken are getting a buff. But playing my Blood Elf last night got me wondering, is the BE racial kind of worthless now? I mean 6k mana? With a 300k mana pool is 2% of our total pool. Back when we were level 85 with less than 100k it had some value, but now?

Does anyone know if there are plans to update it? Kind of want to keep playing a Blood Elf now with the datamined 5.1 info.

6k is 2% of 300k, not .02%. Healers would say that's pretty significant, at least, but then again Shadow isn't exactly mana-starved.

If you watch your mana, and keep VT up on as much as possible. But I have had runs where the tank has pulled so much that all of the SwP's and Halo, and Mind sear casts can't keep up with the regen. Granted the racial does allow for a VT cast if you are OOM and you can quickly get it back up.

Eh, yeah; you forgot a spell there, VT. Spamming just SW:P, Halo and Mind Sear, you will run out of mana because you missed a spell and you even said it yourself:

Just keep VT up and you'll be fine.

Also Belf racial in T11 was huge for Shadow Priest who had mana management issues at 85 with no epic gear, slowly though goblin took up the ranks of the best racial in cata and a lot of people changed during Firelands where helped a huge amount to reach haste break points.

But in MoP, mana is not an issue unless you are healing and in that case the Belf is still very powerful even though it's now 2% over 6%.

Yeah, maybe its just memories of it feeling more powerful and being more of something used more often. Now it's kind of Meh, I can get the full benefit from a tick of VT.

Guess that's what happens as you approach God status. The little things that use to mean so much don't mean as much any longer.

A toast to level 100 when we have over 1 million HP and hearing Illidan say to us;

You are not..........

Oh, hey, hows it going, yeah sorry about the whole you are not prepared thing, you know keeping up appearances, got a rep to maintain. So anyway, here is the key to the executive washroom, reserved parking is on Level 2, private elevators are in the north corner of the building.

Oh, and welcome to the club.

There was a blue post about two months ago saying they wanted to redo all the racials to make them even and fair. But this is blizzard, so in two expansions they change them.

They'll hopefully do it with the race model update.

But nothing beats Bouncy. It already saved me a few times this addon while i mindlessly put on auto walk during tiller dailies -.-

First time i did the fatty goat steak quest from tillers they launched me off a cliff and i clutch rocket jumped back.

I never have a problem with mana, only time I do is MV, on Gan'jara (OR WHATEVER), when I take a totem, I cast a Halo, then I go on spamming SWP to get it on all them... but I never went OOM on it, and 9/10 I'm in the spirit world, because I'm one of the DPS with priority to go under everytime, and RNG doesn't favor me for Voodoo doll... I barely ever hit the boss =(.
