Racials get retuned again, and Orc's Command is back

With launch two weeks out, this build takes another pass at racials. Blizzard says some of the generic traits it swapped in felt flat, while others turned out clearly stronger than the rest, so several role- or class-focused racials that had been replaced with generic ones are coming back. The weapon-specialization racials, like Human’s Sword Specialization or Orc’s Axe Specialization, stay gone: Blizzard doesn’t want future raid and dungeon loot judged by which weapon type a race favors.

• Human: Ruthless drops to 1% critical chance (was 2%), and Human Spirit rises to 10% more Spirit (was 5%).
• Dwarf: Earth Fury, 2% more critical damage and healing, is removed. Artisan’s Precision takes its place: 1% more hit chance with spells and attacks.
• Orc: Savage, 1% more critical chance, is removed. Command returns, adding 5% damage to Warlock and Hunter pets. Blood Fury’s cooldown drops to 2 minutes (was 3 minutes).
• Tauren: Plainsrunning now adds 2% movement speed per stack (was 1%), up to 60% total (was 30%), but no longer boosts mounted speed. Endurance drops back to only 5% more Health, losing its hit chance and critical damage bonuses.
• Troll: Berserking’s duration rises to 15 seconds (was 10 seconds).
• Undead: Touch of the Grave’s internal cooldown drops to 15 seconds (was 25 seconds).
• Skyborne: Wind-Blessed Haste falls to 2% (was 3%). Read Leyline’s regeneration drops to 50% for 15 seconds (was 100% for 20), but casting it at a Ley Line now also grants an hour-long Attuned buff that raises it to the full 100%. Skysight rises to 15% movement speed (was 10%) for 15 seconds, and casting it at an elemental convergence grants an hour-long Charged buff worth 30% speed. Both buffs survive death, but end the moment you enter a raid.

Why it matters: if you picked Orc for a pet class, or Tauren or Skyborne for their movement racials, check the new numbers before launch.
