WoW Forever
Community proposal
Hello, this is in an effort to re-design the racials that we currently have in WoW: Forever as in many cases they felt underwhelming and lackluster.
The core philosophy was to take a look at the races that felt like they were left behind and make major adjustments to their toolkit, as well as do minor tweaks to the already strong ones.
The whole process that will be presented below is a mix of new and old ideas for the best possible result without making a specific race feel broken or weak.
The numeric values are not set in stone and should be tested for optimal and balanced results from Blizzard if they follow this concept.
Some key takeaways from what you will see below:
Perception: Dramatically increases stealth detection for 20 sec. 2 min. cooldown.
Will to Survive: Instantly removes all Stun effects. 3 min. cooldown.
Martial Training: Critical strike chance increased by 1%.
The Human Spirit: Your primary attributes are increased by 2%.
Escape Artist: Instantly escapes the effects of any movement-impairing effect and gains immunity to those effects for 3 sec. 2 min. cooldown.
Eureka!: Your next 3 damaging abilities have their resource costs reduced by 10% and damage dealt increased by 10%. 2 min. cooldown.
Engineering Specialization: Your gnomish ingenuity reduces the rate of engineering devices failing or backfiring when you use them by 50%.
Expansive Mind: Resource increased by 5%.
Spike Trap: Throw a forged trap at an enemy within 8 yards, rooting it for 3 sec. 2 min. cooldown.

Elune's Light: Increases your critical strike chance with all spells and attacks by 10% for 15 sec. 3 min. cooldown.
Shadowmeld: Activate to slip into the shadows, reducing the chance for enemies to detect your presence. Lasts until cancelled or upon moving. Using this ability in combat discourages enemies from attacking you, but increases its cooldown to 2 min. 10 sec. cooldown.
Quickness: Dodge chance increased by 2% and movement speed increased by 2%. Night Elf Rogues and Druids are harder to detect in Stealth as if they were 1 level higher.

Walk on Air: Glide downward through the air for 10 sec. while controlling your direction of travel. 2 min. cooldown.
