For the longest time on beta Panda's have been gaining roughly a 8% dps boost from their racial crushing any other by a wide margin. Do you think they are going to nerf it or should I be leveling my new panda main for sl?

The issue in question comes down to one specific type of food. It makes your character burb and deal damage however the racial is interacting with it doubling the damage. It seems like something that should be caught and fixed but its been in beta for months. Can see if I can dig up a post for it.
I remember seeing something about this a while ago, I don't have any numbers on hand but it was just something to do with food buffs being a lot more significant.
Haven't paid much attention to it since though, I imagine blizz will get around to it eventually. Not terribly difficult to fix (and frankly even if they didn't I'm not going panda).
..and so he left, with terrible power in shaking hands.
And yet Pandaren are the least represented of all base races...
Well it would be one way to sell race changes... I hope they catch it.. its just with all the other 15-30% dps differences between covenants, soulbinds, conduits, and legendary items and less then a month left give or take I am kinda just seeing what will and won't be caught and how I can take advantage of it.
the only way to fix racials is to remove everything that change damage, healing and damage taken numbers, and replace it by a non combat related perk.
While 8% is fairly sizeable, this is caused by a food that will likely be quickly made unavailable in instanced content shortly into SL, like what has happened several times in the past with overpowered food. Outside of this, the Pandaren racial tends to be fairly weaker at the start of the expansion, and if they release better foods (Like what they did in BfA), then it may be slightly stronger then other racials.
Keep in mind that in PvP it's essentially equivalent to NO racial at all.
I would feel like the Pandas deserve their racial. Little fellas gotta waste a feast to get it, and should they die... poof. Gone, until the next wipe. And likely gone until the end of a M+.

The internet: where to every action is opposed an unequal overreaction.
This has me feeling a big fat "who cares."
if its as extreme as you think and all the world first raiders change to Pandas, then maybe it will be worth caring about. Otherwise, who the fuck cares.

No, the only way to fix it, is to make all the idiots that cry constantly about 1-2% of damage leave the game. People that constantly want everything changed because of spreadsheets are the literal cancer of MMO's
