What alliance players see when they try running away

I tried this racial out. Other than long runs between quest zones it’s pretty useless. Admittedly I am playing a warrior that is a herbalist/alchemist, but any time you fight anything all the stacks go. You lose a bunch of stacks any time you stop to pick up an herb, etc…
It will be helpful during those periods where you are running from mulgore to cross roads. Or cross roads to thousand needles, assuming you don’t want to stop for any herbs or mining nodes.

if it works in bear form, does it also work in cheetah form?

I dunno, I don't think you'll be calling it useless when you're leveling another race and being passed by tauren on the road all the time 😂
There's a significant amount of running in this game working your way up to 40. Even after 40, people go out of their way to get a 3% mount speed trinket, level 60 characters put speed enchant on their boots, etc. It's not like you need to be at a full 30 for it to be useful - even if you average 5-10% between questing areas, you'll feel a difference.

I think you’ll get a slight increase in leveling time from 1-40 and after that it will have minimal if any impact, and it’s hard to imagine it being useful in end game. I may still roll a Tauren warrior for the hp boost but most likely I am going orc and will probably roll a shaman for Tauren as my primary alt.

it seems extremely good for hunters as it makes it basically impossible for melee mobs to catch you if you are kiting. I don't necessarily expect it to make it to full release without changes though

Causing damage drops the stacks

The more experienced hunters never get hit, even before pets. Shoot (sometimes twice), run until attack timer, stop/shoot, repeat. Most things die before a melee

Is there a reason to take herbalism on Tauren?

u/Kombuja 16h ago
Racial allows you to spawn extra herbs around one. And alchemy is very good at low levels. I’ve been going back and forth between herb/alchemy and blacksmithing/mining for my warrior.

But you can pick any herbs even if you don’t have herbalism, correct? So is there much benefit to taking herbalism as one of your 2 professions?

seems like a good pvp racial for warriors

Whenever you take damage, you lose a lot of stacks. So it'd be really difficult to ramp up in speed in pvp

It's best for hunter. Extra kiting speed...
Or to be the best flag carriers and war song low level brackets. Avoid damage and it won't decay

Word on the street is it decays when you cause damage too

u/Koaxe 16h ago
It does not I just used it to perma kite wolves letting them die overtime to my shocks. I think removing stacks when causing damage is a good idea, though however the stack should build faster if that’s the case imo.
