ARG! - Post for the Beta Forums
Ok this is driving me nuts. I’ve tried 8 times now to post a new thread to the Blizzard beta priest forums, and each time I keep getting this stupid error.
I can reply to someone’s thread no problems, but create a new one and it says I’m logged in under the wrong acct. But when I try to log in with the beta info, it doesn’t accept it.
SO: You all get to see my frustrated post to the designer for priests. Until I can get it posted there.
ARG!
[Suggestion] Race Change/Option
Ok Blizz, I give up.
Now that you’ve taken away most of our class uniqueness by giving all other classes mana regen, AoE heals, no more race specific spells, etc and you went back on that whole “We’re never going to allow PvE to PvP server transfers”, give it up already.
Give us a quest, give us an option, LET US CHANGE OUR D*&^ RACE ALREADY.
Let me tell you a story:
Way back when I was a little noob, who was just experiencing an MMO for the first time ever, I was told, “Hey we need healers if we’re ever going to raid MC!” So I left my 60 rogue on the shelf and rolled a priest.
I was alliance, when I asked advice on the best race to pick for an alliance priest? “Dwarf, hands down.” The magic words were FEAR WARD. [u]At the time[/u], it was the best race to be, raiding wise.
Ok, I can do that. Other cool things came up, and there were some dwarf racials that I kind forgot about until BC (Stoneskin?), but here I was, wanting a human because they had a cool casting look, spirit, and hell, that rep bonus was great for the rep grind… but no no no, you want to get a spot? Roll dwarf.
Fine, I rolled dwarf. Because it was the BEST CHOICE I had at the time.
___Now 2 years later I’m STUCK with a fugly priest that doesn’t PvP, a little wiser in how the game is played and what my class can actually do, and while I could Change her name for $10, no chance to change her race.
After the Fear Ward nerf, we should have seen this coming. But then, my priest was well into T4/T5 raiding with my guild, my friends, and there really was no choice in taking the time off to reroll another race. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess I’m not the only one who was stuck in this predicament. The character has accomplished so much and spent so much [u]time[/u] in the game, why should I or anyone have to reroll to get the other race? If you boo boo’d on your name, BAM, $10, it’s changed.
It’s not going to break the game. You can only change to a race that has that class, etc. Maybe you can or cannot change factions. Make it similar to the character realm transfer cooldown, or make it a one time deal. I don’t care. I can’t see anything BAD from something like this. The only possible exploit I can think of is if someone leveled Human then switched races. Well fine, take away 10% of their reps if they make the switch. They aren’t as “Diplomatic” as they once were.
Come on guys.
Please, make it happen.
Some how, some way, someone there WILL SEE THIS. I hope. If you can post this to the beta priest forums for me, please, be my guest. I just want to see this happen (hey, they did PvP to PvE!)

I copied this ove to my flash drive and will try posting it in the Beta forums when I get home from work.
and I agree about the ability to do a switch, even as a one time thing only open for say from 3.0 relese till wrath release. That way people could recover from the changes they made.
then again reading this reminds me why the change was needed. now at least new players won’t be forced into something just to get a raid spot.
Actually just went on a rant of my own about this. Not that it will help anything =P

I think your little Dwarf butt is sexy… NE women have too much attitude and Human chicks can’t handle me so I happen to have a thing for Dwarfs… what can I say… at least your not a Gnome.
I do and don’t see your points. I think it is crummy they take away the unique racial spells for each priest but the idea from blizz is to make any priest viable. Which means they don’t want one race rolled highly over another. Fear Ward made sense as it’s helpful to PvE progression and for PvP. So that one makes sense. To them getting rid of the racial spells altogether seems silly as none of them were really any more powerful than another. I do disagree with the dwarf being ugly my confusion is why they aren’t as tall as the male dwarves more than anything. Besides they’re redoing race racials as it is currently so I’m not even sure if humans will still have those same ones come WotLK. I’m surprised also that you rolled a dwarf to just get into raiding to begin with especially since Fio from my understanding made AC just so he could raid as a Balance Druid which was highly looked down on for a long time.
Maybe Blizz may change their mind later on but I think you are gonna be stuck with the dwarf priesty unless you start using the alt for healing in WotLK.
I agree with changing race. Maybe add a change sex - I have a 66 priest but I really wish I had rolled a female toon & not a male. Again a one time thing it’d probably be. I’d change my hunter from draenei to dwarf probably too ^3^
