Zandalari Trolls will finally be playable and my collector's edition arrives tomorrow; I guess I'll finally play this expansion on Tuesday.
Still no /dance animations for the Zandalari Druid's Moonkin form or Travel form, this is likely not the final build. Should be easy enough to just make the arakkoa model do the funky chicken or something, and the raptor form just shakes its head "No" and growl or something. (I have been informed there is a Robot Chicken skit with Velociraptors learning stage dance)The racial, coming from someone who plays horde, is a problem with a very simple fix. Add a "Can not be used in combat." to it and all the flavor of the original trolls being able to fully heal remains, while not allowing shenanigans from Zandalari Paladins inside of a bubble.
Not sure if it was changed in this build or the one prior, but within the last couple builds at most, the Portals to Exodar and Ironforge that were missing since the start of 8.1.5 PTR were finally returned to the portal room in Boralus.
I’m less and less excited for the Zandalari racials. All racials, both Horde and Alliance, are becoming more and more watered down. Most of them are hardly worth putting on your bar anymore. :(On the upside, druid forms still look cool. At least there’s that. :)

ZT's Regeneratin' is now useless. People saying it is OP because Paladins can bubble+pop it to top off? Seriously? If they are Draenei they can just pop racial and a few flash heals and they are full health as well. If they could be trolls berserking+flash heals would probably top then as well. I really hope the Embrace of the Loa is tuned OK, so it's not a huge detriment to race change to ZT.
I wonder how much time until the Alliance player base start rioting.
I'm disappointed at the bonded souls healing nerf, but seeing as I'm the only one (as far as these comments go, anyway), it can't be all that bad?

Regeneratin' is totally fine like this. Not OP but still might have some uses.6 seconds is a LONG time to not be doing any dps or healing. Also the first ticks are weak so in many instances the draeinei racial is actually better. It has a 2.5 minute CD and breaks on damage. I really cant think of a situation where this could be broken. There are some usefull scenarios. You can help your healer a bit between packs on m+. During raiding you would only ever use it if you know there is damage incoming and you might die if you are not topped. I guess it is good in arena if you can get away from your enemies but I dont really do that.I play druid and in most cases I can do more and faster healing to myself with the tools I already have. Same is true for shamans, paladins and priests. And while those heal spells do use mana it does not break on damage and is not bound to a cooldown.
The Zandalari Troll racial nerf was necessary and i don't think it was the last nerfjust remember Dark Iron Dwarf racial was called OP at first too and know yes its still strongbut i don't see too much DID so relax ^^i don't think that the majority of horde players will switch to ZTsame as the majority of Alliance didn't switched to DID
I think having it start small and increase over the 6 second casting time is probably a good compromise. I don't think it ever needed to be 100%, but Blizzard seems pretty adamant about it. I don't PVP so this really isn't an issue to me. I suppose there will be a lot of zandalari paladins who think they are utterly indestructable and will end up disappointed, though.
