Yesterday, Blizzard shared a long post on the official forums about WoW Forever's racial abilities before launch. In this post, it turned out that not all races received an update. Night Elf, Gnome, Troll, and Undead were missing entirely.

If you want to read all about yesterday's race changes, we have a detailed post about those ready for you:

However, just now Blizzard updated it, and they added a few more changes! Some races are still missing, but Undead and Trolls made the list as well.

Touch of the Grave's internal cooldown has now been reduced to 15 seconds (it was 25 seconds before).

On top of that, Troll's berserking duration has been increased to 15 seconds (from 10 seconds before).

And Orcs also got an additional cooldown reduction for Blood's Fury, which went down to 2 minutes instead of 3 minutes.

Skyborne Buffs Disappear When Entering a Raid

Skyborne also got an additional clarification, and Blizzard confirmed that both Charged and Attuned are now removed upon entering a raid:

  • Charged persists through death, and is removed upon entering a raid.

  • Attuned persists through death, and is removed upon entering a raid.

Charged comes from using Skysight at an elemental convergence, and Attuned is granted by using Read Leyline at a Ley Line. Both last for one hour, so you keep those after dying, but they get removed if you go into a Raid.
