World of Warcraft Buffing Several Racial Abilities in Patch 11.0.7

Key Takeaways

  • Patch 11.0.7 in World of Warcraft buffs underpowered racial abilities for Draenei, Worgen, and half the Allied Races.
  • The updates target skills that have lagged in comparison to others, aiming to make them more viable in gameplay.
  • The release date for Patch 11.0.7 is uncertain.

As a dedicated player with over a decade of experience in the realm of Azeroth, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement and relief at the news that Patch 11.0.7 will be giving underpowered racial abilities for Draenei, Worgen, and half the Allied Races a much-needed boost.

In the upcoming Patch 11.0.7, World of Warcraft is set to enhance several racial abilities that are currently underperforming. These improvements will affect races like Draenei, Worgen, and more than half of the Allied Races. The focus of these enhancements is on skills and passives that have become less effective compared to other racial traits in World of Warcraft. These changes are scheduled to be implemented as part of the next content update for the storyline, The War Within.

Lately, the gaming world got a sneak peek at Patch 11.0.7, the second major update following “The War Within” in World of Warcraft. This update invites players to explore Siren Isle, a once-operational Azerite mine for Kul Tiras, which now conceals secrets and riches that various factions – including Arathi, Earthen, Goblins (aligned), pirates, Naga, and Vrykul (hostile) – are eager to discover.

In this game update, you’ll notice a multitude of other improvements in addition to enhancements to various racial skills. As per the notes from the World of Warcraft Patch 11.0.7 Public Test Realm, these updates aim to boost underperforming abilities for nine distinct races, making them more effective in gameplay. Specifically, Draenei, Worgen, and several other Allied Races in World of Warcraft will receive such enhancements: Lightforged Draenei and Void Elves for the Alliance, and Highmountain Tauren, Mag’har Orcs, Nightborne, Vulpera, and Zandalari Trolls for the Horde.

In simpler terms, some enhancements (buffs) directly boost the numbers of a character’s skills, such as those for Highmountain Tauren and Mag’har Orcs. Conversely, others, like Draenei and Zandalari Trolls, have had their cooldown times adjusted. The Draenei’s cooldown is shortened, while the Zandalari Troll’s is extended to balance out other buffs to the revamped Regeneration ability. Additionally, the visuals of the Void Elf’s Spatial Rift and Lightforged Draenei’s Light’s Judgement abilities have been updated to match these modifications.

In the latest patch for World of Warcraft, I’m excited to see that my Human and Kul Tiran characters will get some new Arathi ear customizations! And here’s a fun fact, even the Worgen, our furry brethren in Azeroth, can sport these pointed ears too, as their non-wolven form shares character creation options with Humans.

As a devoted fan, I’ve been eagerly waiting for news about Patch 11.0.7, and it seems that the release date might be closer than we thought! Some insightful fans have found hints within the description text of the patch splash screen suggesting that Winter Veil could be arriving in the game soon, potentially as early as December 10. However, we’ll need to wait for an official confirmation from Blizzard Entertainment to know exactly when this exciting update, complete with those enticing racial ability buffs, will grace our live servers.
