First, I would like to say that I do not intend this as a QQ thread.
Second, I would like to acknowledge that everytime someone says they arent gonna QQ they QQ
Third, if I QQ I appologize, it isnt indended. Please try to ignore any QQ and focus on my questions.
I recently left an Alliance-dead server. My guild split, half transferring, and half going horde. I had my choice to join either group, and I was torn. I knew if I went horde I would go troll or tauren, since I dont like belfs, but I cant stand to have an avatar as ugly as an orc.
I put my stats into femaledwarf, compensated for lost hit, (I am a draenei) and voila! Nearly 48pts increased damage by going troll!
I admit I was kinda surprised. 48 was more than I thought racials could be, but still not exessive.
But from playing around, I have noticed that the full range of dps can be (in my gear, SV specced) 77pnts between Orc and Tauren.
77dps strikes me as high. I would imagine it can even range further depending on gear and spec.
People have switched professions for comparable gains. (Spreadsheet shows and 81dps increase if I were a JC, for example).
I once paid someone 5k gold to pass me a trinket they had won, which showed a dps increase of 84.
There are certainly times when the damage done between the #1 on the meters and the #2 is closer than 100dps.
So, at what point do racials matter to you. When do they matter to your guild? Do hardcore guilds forbid Tauren hunters? If you were consistently second in your guild on damage, would u switch races to get closer?
More importantly, what is an acceptable racial tolerance? 77dps is within 1%--but I will be honest, if I found a piece of gear that said it gave me 1% increased damage without any change in effort or skill on my part--I would jump on it.
What about Cat and Worgen? If they keep the indended racial, 1% damage increase, will that be OP?
I may be flying off the handle here. To me, 77dps, or 102 dps if the Worgen racial was active now, is a lot. Even if cat gets scaled back, and we wind up doing less damage than now, 1% is still 1%.
I guess I am just curious as to how much it matters to everyone else, and what you guys think

We can't tell you how to play what you like.
There's always noggenfogger and pirate fish and deviate fish?
You'd rather not be an orc, but a retarded loli wolf?
Orc racials are OP.
Please dont make this personal, I havent said I want to be a worgen. My thought is more general
That said, people DO tell you how to play. There are guilds that require raiders to have JC & BS as their profs. There are other guilds that dont require JC & BS specifically, but you cant raid with a gathering prof--you have to have profs that increase your damage. Now, if you pick the wrong ones, the difference can be less than 77dps. So when do guilds start dictating what race you have to be?
