WoW Forever: orcs, trolls and Forsaken get racial buffs

On 27 October Blizzard updated the WoW Forever beta development notes with 3 racial changes that it says were meant to be in the list from 26 October but were left out. The earlier post, a final pass on racial abilities before launch, has been edited to include them.

Orc Blood Fury now has a 2-minute cooldown instead of 3 minutes. Troll Berserking now lasts 15 seconds instead of 10 seconds. The Undead passive Touch of the Grave now has an internal cooldown of 15 seconds instead of 25 seconds, so it can trigger more often.

Blizzard also clarified how the 2 new Skyborne buffs behave. Attuned, which Read Leyline grants when used at a Ley Line, and Charged, which Skysight grants at an elemental convergence, both last 1 hour and persist through death, but both are removed when the player enters a raid.

All 3 additions go to Horde races, on top of the orc Command bonus for warlock and hunter pets that was already in the list. WoW Forever opens in Europe at 23:00 London time on 4 November, which is midnight on 5 November in Central Europe.
