In game of World of Warcraft, there is only really one class that has racial spells. That is the priest, with good reason too because of all the different races backgrounds and beliefs and faiths ect. other classes don't really seem to fit to have different racials per class. (i.e. all pallys are warriors of the light, all shamans have nature based beleifs.

So here is my idea, racial spells for druids.

It wouldn't really impact the game and wouldn't raise heavily on like i've seen with priest (In the priest forums i have seen people asking advice about different racials spells.) because only 2 races can be druids and they are on opposite factions.


Since Nelfs beleive in the stars and Elune, I came up with "Elune's fury" which could be like a channelled AoE that appears like blizzard or rain of fire. The area of effect would become darker in color and starshard (nelf priest racial spell kind of animation) would fall, but instead of just on one target, it would rain down on the area selected. The effects would decrease the chance of hit in the area by the enemy by a certain percentage (kind of a fun thing, since its harder to see at night ect. lol.) give it like a 3 minute cooldown, perhaps?

Since Tauren believe in the Earthmother, I came up with "Mother's Grasp." This is like roots, but it doesnt keep them in place. decreases the movement of the enemies in effect by 50%, causing X amount of damage while in area of effect. Cooldown 3 minutes.

Maybe change the name or something?

I figured it would be neat since druids are like the only class (other than priests) to have different belief structures within each race.

Please don't respond with "you're racist, dawg." -_-

thoughts? suggestions? ideas?

So you want a second Hurricane for Night Elfs and a hamstring for Tauren, is that it?

Somehow I don't see the AoE idea happening to be honest since we already have hurricane, however the idea of a snare so that we can do the hunteresque snare-travel form would be interesting.

not really. it's more of an example/idea. I don't really care whether or not we got the spells i made up.

I basically wanted to get acrossed that it would be a neat idea to have racial spells for druids since both race of druids have different beliefs (ones of Elune, the other of Earth mother) and also it wouldn't have THAT much of an impact as it does on choosing a priest. With the priests, I've seen numerous threads asking for peoples advice on the different priests' racials as if it would make or break the class. With druids it would be completely different because there are only 2 races that can be druids and they are of opposite factions and it wouldn't make as much of a difference.

Actually, B Elf pallies have Seal/Judgement of Blood, Alliance pallies have Seal/Judgement of Vengance. That's kind of a racial class ability. I can't think of any unique abilities off hand for druids based on lore, what you came up with is basicly another Hurricane and Earthbind totem.
