Horde · RACE GUIDE
Troll
Trolls combine a casting-and-attack-speed cooldown with two forms of Health recovery and extra damage against Beasts. Rapid Regeneration needs a safe channel, while Berserking is the active combat window. Warlock joins their available classes in Forever.
THE RACE BEHIND THE TOOLKIT
Meet Troll
Driven from Stranglethorn, the Darkspear found allies in Thrall's Horde and crossed to Kalimdor. Their identity remains distinct within the alliance they joined.
Their racial abilities separate combat pace from recovery. Berserking accelerates attacks and spellcasting, Regeneration provides a passive Health-regeneration benefit, and Rapid Regeneration offers a stronger channel that can be interrupted. Beast Slaying adds a bonus limited to a particular enemy type.
What this means while you play
- Berserking increases spellcasting and attack speed by 10% for ten seconds. Its speed bonus applies across several class styles, without establishing an equal percentage increase in final damage.
- Rapid Regeneration can restore half your maximum Health over six seconds, but movement, actions or damage cancel it. Find a safe opening instead of expecting it to finish under pressure.
- Beast Slaying only increases damage against Beasts. Keep that enemy-type condition separate from Regeneration's passive benefit, part of which continues during combat.
Practical interpretation of the listed abilities; this is not a damage ranking.
