Racial changes likely in next week's beta update

On the latest episode of the WoW: Forever Podcast, Aggrend said changes to racial abilities are on the way, and Wowhead’s recap says they should arrive with next week’s beta update.

He described the Orc and Troll active racials as “perhaps a little too strong”, and asked whether weapon-skill racials should stay or be replaced with something else. Dwarves are the Alliance’s only Shaman race, as Blizzard’s race and class chart shows.

Wowhead’s recap says the Horde’s racials seem to players to outclass the Alliance’s, with an Orc’s kit hard to compare with a Dwarf’s, and that the Dwarf being the Alliance’s only Shaman race adds to the faction imbalance Community Wowhead — WoW: Forever Podcast recap.
