oh yeah?!

i can fall further than you!

Aye, they completely removed the situationally "useful" old racials to replace them mostly with temporary movement buffs that only work out of combat. Very bland and unappealing...

I can understand why they did this. If it stayed the old way, all of the defiant dps would be kelari, end of discussion.
and all the guardians would have been Dwarf.

They were easily the two "over powered" racials.

I just feel they could have done something 'better' with the changes.

Come release, I'm gonna start me a little army of clerics - all solo/crafters! They're gonna need their own guild tag. Taking suggestions now!

Yes there were glaring issues with the defiant racials vs the guardians... something had to be done.

WTB class idea to play this weekend. Either doing another rogue or a "battle-cleric" of sorts like a shaman or something.

What have you played?

I've played all the callings to at least lvl 10, and only the melee clerics and rogues keep me going, i'm not saying the warriors and mages are bad, i've never liked mages, but i try them in each new game, and the warrior just didn't grab me like the bard did.

The bard ruined the other 31 souls for me lol.

I like bard paired with anything (but really like the nightblade or marksman as the second soul)
Justicar (11 points only)/ALOT of Shaman/Warden was a great combo for me also

try the melee clerics, if you've tried a rogue, then you know how they play (they don't change all that much)

I'd go : Shaman/Purifier/Sent, Justicar/Shaman/warden
or the ever popular (considered the best melee build) Shaman/Justicar/Druid

Well, in WoW, Human racials are arguably quite OP compared to other alliance races... yet people still play other races. Hell, people even play Worgen!

But yeah, they overdid it - but there's still some time to fine tune those changes. The Dwarf racial seem particularly crappy, at least the others have at least some run speed buff. The spirit wolf thingy is quite OP compared to the others, too.
