		<description>Another top notch post Gav.  I must agree that the Dranei IMO do indeed have the best racials as far as the alliance side goes.  The NEs though good are no where near as good since nerfing ShadowMeld...for hunters anyway (now instead of coming out of SM when you fire aimed shot you come out when you begin...this was a huge nerf).  The Wisp Form however is very underappreciated...I miss it everytime I play a different race.</description>

		<description>That Draeni Racial is just absolutely invaluable in end-game.  I play a Horde Warlock myself, and I love being able to dump 3% of my spell-hit rating with an Ele in the group.  Even the 12rating you can lose from the racial will give you an edge.  Especially applied over 5 casters in a raid setting.  As an example: instead of that spell strike enchant (+15 spell hit) you have on your gloves, you can switch them for a pair with +20 spell damage instead!  Just my .02 :)  Happy gaming!</description>

		<description>I have a Dwarf rogue and the amount of times stone form comboed with CoS then vanish has got me out of a pickle are too numerous to mention (gets rid of all dots before vanish) I find treasure hunter is good for gathering quests.
my 10 cents</description>

		<description>shadowmeld for a warrior is great for defending nodes in AB or towers in AV.  Many a time I have been capping and lo and behold....and I find perception on my human rogue 29 twink excellent for getting the jump on other rogues. :)</description>

		<description>Benjamin - you are right that stoneform removes disease and poison effects, and is thus slightly more useful than just increasing armor.  I will say, however that since most of the poison attacks you will encounter either come at you very fast, or even stack, only being able to remove one of those every two minutes still isn't going to get my blood flowing.

Just me - I never said the racials were completely unbalanced as far as the equivalencies between the races was concerned.  You would ahve a hard time finding anyone that thought escape artist was hands-down better than WoTF.

I cannot find where I made the same comment for Nelf and Tauren since they have virtually zero similarities in their racial traits.

Dodge is NOT the same as +HP for tanks.  Tanks, as a general rule, do NOT want a whole lot of dodge.  If you dodge an attack, you generate no rage.  Mathematically it will save you some life in the long run, but it does not lend itself well to certain aspects of warrior mechanics on the most basic levels.

But besides any issues you might take with the complete veracity of the overviews, remember that I also began with two even more important claims: one, racials do NOT put one race far above any other race in the same class; two, racial bonuses become less and less important the further you progress.  

I only meant to put a little funny spin on the fact that some racials are pretty lame and some lend themselves better to certain classes in the usefulness category.  I mean, why would a tank ever really want to shadow meld?  It's a little funny if you think about it.  You gotta admit, some racials are more "wasted" than others. 

I believe some of you guys may take things just a tad too seriously from time to time.  Have fun!</description>

		<description>I have to say, you took the exact same racial for nelf and tauren and described it in two completely different ways to make a misguided point.  Same with several other bonuses.  Escape artist is about the same quality as will of the forsaken (wotf being better most often), dodge about the same as +hp for tanks, gun skill vs bow skill, sword vs axe, Shadowmeld (ridiculous in pvp) vs Blood Fury.  I'd have to say that it's completely balanced, just as most all factors in the game.  Each class has good and wasted talents (except belf, their only talent is being pretty).</description>
