Fact
Orc: Axe Specialization replaced by Savage (1% critical strike); Blood Fury cooldown 3 minutes (was 2); Shatter Curse now dispels Curses and Banes and reduces magic damage taken by 5% (was immunity and 15%). Troll: Regeneration health regeneration bonus raised to 20% (was 10%). Skyborne: Wind Blessed Haste 3% (was 1%); Skysight and Read Leyline castable while moving; Read Leyline minimum duration 30 seconds (was 20); Walk on Air cooldown 90 seconds (was 2 minutes); more spawn locations for Elemental Convergences and Leylines in most Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor zones. This follows the Oct 8 statement that the Orc and Troll active racials were under review. (Oct 15 beta development notes, as relayed by Icy Veins; Blizzard forum post not read directly.) Correction (2026-10-27): Blizzard's Oct 26 final pass removed Savage and re-added Command (+5% Hunter and Warlock pet damage), so Orcs have no crit passive at launch. Skyborne Wind Blessed was cut to 2% haste; Skysight is 15% for 15 sec (30% for an hour when Charged at an elemental convergence) and Read Leyline is 50% regeneration for 15 sec (100% for an hour when Attuned at a Ley Line).
