Goblin racials in WoW Cataclysm

Goblins in WoW Cataclysm have some amazing new racials. These traits will allow them to jump from nothing to being one of the most powerful World of Warcraft races in the game. Goblins have always been known for their number one racial ability, making money. They are also famous for their engineering skills – like gnomes they own their own branch of World of Warcraft engineering (Goblin Engineering) and have some of the most amazing inventions in the game.

What else can we expect from the Goblin racials? Let’s analyse each one in depth:

Goblin racials

1 – Goblin Racial – Best Deals Anywhere – Always receive best discount regardless of faction.

Goblins like to make money, so what better racial talent than the ability to save gold? They will always receive good discounts, regardless of the faction of the vendor. Magic for the bank!

2 – Goblin Racial – Pack Hobgoblin – Calls your personal servant allowing you bank access for 1 minute. 30 mins cooldown.

Your personal assistant, meaning almost unlimited bag space and those long farming missions will become like a dream for miners, herbalists and other grinders. Fill your bags for 30 minutes and then empty them in your Cataclysm bank!

3 – Goblin Racial – Better Living Through Chemistry – Alchemy skill increased by 15.

Alchemists should rejoice – the Goblins are coming to create potions, flasks and more. Combined with their ability to call up the bank for unlimited access to their herbs etc, this looks like a lockdown for the wow Cataclysm profession choice of goblins.

4 – Goblin Racial – Rocket Barrage – Launches your belt rockets an an enemy, dealing fire damage. 2 min cooldown.

Depending on the power of this rocket, it could be a gamechanger for new rolling Goblins. Can this rocket be used while stunned? Can it be used while sapped? We wait for World of Warcraft Cataclysm’s release to find out.

5 – Goblin Racial – Rocket Jump – Activates your rocket belt to jump forward. 2 min cooldown.

This is just like the rocket barrage – if it’s powerful or useful then this could almost be an imba racial for the goblins in World of Warcraft Cataclysm. Otherwise it could be just another wasted racial. We’ll see.

6 – Goblin Racial – Time is Money – 1% increased attack and casting speed.

Not a game changer, but a welcome boost for all casting Goblins – a 1% inceased cast speed (or even attack speed for melee Goblins) could prove a nice DPS increase in raids.

That’s all the info we have about Goblin racials in WoW Cataclysm right now, but check back for more info as and when we get it.
