Troll racial 5.2 - will it stay?

[Deleted]

8/13 bosses in the 5.2 raid will be classified as 'beasts'. Therefore, due to one of their racials, trolls will do 5% extra damage to them.
My question is - do you think Blizzard will leave it be, or will they nerf it? (And: Does it even work against bosses in the first place? I'm assuming it does, but not entirely sure).

leave it be, it would be stupid to remove it.

Countless of arguments why the should though.
Every single player in top guilds will reroll if their class allows it. And if they are Alliance, some may even faction change for this sole reason. Many other non-top players will as well. 5% is a lot. Ah well, I guess Blizzard wouldn't mind the extra cash tbh.

Regardless, I'm hoping it will work. I'll be destroying the meters in my guild if that's the case.

5% is the difference between you being average and you destroying meters?

Possibly three scenarios is:

1) They keep it as is and put up with racial qq on their forums for this tier and whatever nonsense people want to complain about

2) Nerf it to just 1% damage or 2% as they've done to some of the other racials

3) Just declassify some of the bosses into not being beasts (This is more likely)

no doubt it will be hotfixed to make the racial not effecting raid bosses

there i saved any tryhard raider $40

blizzard will leave it and then hotfix it during heroic progression

[Cernunnos]

Possibly nerf to 2% like the orc racial for bonus pet damage was, it used to be 5% pet damage now it's only 2%.

I can't believe people would go this far for one of the least played races in the game. Let be honest very few people will swap troll just for this.

5% is a lot. 100k -> 105k. 5k DPS. Besides, no one said anything about me being average...
*cough*

Those damage boosting racials are so stupid, you shouldn't get extra damage just because you rolled a orc or troll.

Yes it does.. It was confirmed by blue, back in Cata, when Magmaw was current content..

I disagree. 5% is too big to remain when the combat racials are already too powerful to be considered balanced.

[Belloc]

Here's hoping they wait until all the tops guilds faction/race change and THEN hotfix it. Maybe then people will stop wasting their money to be the flavor of the month.

As someone in this thread already said, they should just make it so it doesn't affect raid bosses. Nerfing it down to 2% could be a possibility, but if they did that I would just rather have them trash it - trolls already have a worthless racial (dat health regen).

Were paladins nerfed in ICC?

Nope.

[Teippi]

or they just make it to not work in 5.2 raids :O

[Shockymonkey]

We already have pandaren being the top DPS class and you haven't seen people mass reroll to them. Blizzard won't do anything about it because it doesn't matter. Deal with it for one tier that's all.

Nope.

Paladins were with that percent and exo autocrits decent but still not way over the top.
Anyways they should just make the bosses something else. Those 5% should stay for questing flavor.

Pandaren aren't the best choice for every class.

Your right off course, you are an exceptional whiner.

An additional 500+ to their top stat?

Yeah, they are.
