What changes for the Orc and Troll active racials (Blood Fury, Berserking) and for the crit-chance racials that replaced weapon skill

Resolved Updated Oct 27, 2026

Detail

What changes for the Orc and Troll active racials (Blood Fury, Berserking) and for the crit-chance racials that replaced weapon skill. Blizzard said on Oct 8 that changes are likely in the next beta build. Resolved (2026-10-27): the Oct 15 build set Blood Fury to a 3 min cooldown and Berserking to a flat 10% for 10 sec and replaced the weapon-skill racials with crit passives; Blizzard's Oct 26 final pass then removed those crit passives (Orc Savage, Human Ruthless halved to 1%, Dwarf Earth Fury swapped for 1% hit) and gave Orcs Command back. The active racials were not changed again. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/wow-forever-beta-development-notes-%E2%80%93-updated-october-26/2360696/7
