Troll or UD priest?

[Caloric]

Never played on a private sever where the troll racial abilities worked correctly. So assuming they do here is Troll just as good as UD?

[Lotharx]

It might be good in right hands , just like any other race..If you know how to play.

UD Always, devouring plague + Touch of weakness just outshine troll priest spells Hex of weakness and Shadowguard. Besides WOTF > berserking

I played a troll priest on retail and Blackout procs on Shadowguard were especially useful. It was a good spell for leveling, and a great spell for PvP due to shadowguard. Hex of weakness was really handy for PvP as well due to the mini mortal strike debuff. For PvE it had its uses against normal 5 man instance bosses. The damage reduction did work and added up with other character mitigations (healing stream, stoneskin totem, etc)

On every private server Blackout procs do not work like old retail, especially for Shadowguard. I think it's because the devs lacked the skill or mangos lacked the flexibility of coding it when you're dealing with shadow damage coming from different sources and having Blackout go off from just spells 'owned' by the character.

If Blackout is working properly, I'd roll a troll priest and feel comfortable with it. I like the fit of the two spells as tools and what they give me. If it isn't, Forsaken all day erry day.

This is mainly what I was questioning. Has anyone tested this? I would hate to get a troll to 60 and find out it was not coded like vanilla.

dunno about trolls, but I know touch of weakness doesnt proc blackout nor shadow weaving.
So I guess nor will troll racials.

Devouring plague is usefull in all situations, troll racials only against melee..

I'm pretty sure the Troll shadow ward can proc Blackout.

If the racials are scripted properly troll is the superior choise. Wotf is overrated.

There's barely any difference here. Pick the race you think looks cooler.
