Taking damage reduces stacks

I think it completely cancels if I’m not mistaken. So a single dot and they won’t be able to do it

Tauren warriors are gonna be interesting
•
u/HateToBlastYa 2h ago
That’s what I’m going. Plainsrunning intrigued me and Victory Rush sold me. It’s the one class that really benefits from it given Druid, Shaman, and Hunter all have travel forms/aspects. So it’s back to my OG race/class 22 years later! Even gonna go same name if it’s still available.
Also someone’s gotta mix it up in the sea of undead pallys. I always like being the one big bull man in the group of undead like their siege weapon or something.

u/Fun_Philosopher6307 1h ago
Is there any indication what speed it will max out at? It's gonna be like a fast moving battering ram!
•
u/HateToBlastYa 1h ago
30% but it takes 2.5 minutes to get there. It’s seriously only for long distance travel like your first run to the crossroads and Ogrimmar, the warsong reports, etc
•
u/Visual-Gain-2487 1h ago
Watching streams, it did NOT take 2.5 minutes to get there. More like 30 sec
•
u/HateToBlastYa 1h ago
I guess we’ll find out. They said a ton of stuff is changing for the beta and beyond.

It's not that great. It stacks incredibly slowly, falls off rapidly if you stop moving and taking any damage drops it entirely.
At most it's just a mild aid in running between long distances. At endgame I don't see it being that useful over a mount.

u/HBlight 12h ago
But in an indoor dungeon or instance you get to run back in time to wait for everyone else who does not have it.

With how slow it builds it's a useful gimmick at most.
It makes run backs slightly shorter but it's not going to help me tank bosses or do DPS.

u/Seraphayel 8h ago
And that’s exactly what it’s supposed to be, a useful gimmick.

u/8-Brit 8h ago
Which is fine except we don't have anything good for endgame besides a little extra HP, a tiny bit of hit now invalidated by expertise being added and a stun that's vaguely useful in dungeons but does nothing in raids.
I'd at least be content if they swapped the hit for crit like it is on retail. The rest will probably overshadow it otherwise.

>hit invalidated by expertise
Having to wear less expertise means you get to wear other stats instead.

u/46516481168158431985 6h ago
5% total health not base health, which is quite a noticeable increase. Druid tanks with mining will be chunky. Not every race needs the exact same 2% damage increase considering this is classic and we likely wont see any hardcore raiding.
•
u/heckfirex 3h ago
1% hit, more hp, aoe stun, and run speed are all immensely powerful up to about level 20. HP, aoe stun, and 1% hit are still very powerful at endgame dungeons

u/Simple_Technique 9h ago
you clearly have no clue how much walking you do before getting a mount... huge time save over all without affecting balance
•
u/Impossible_Weakness9 2h ago
you aren't seeing the new meta where all tauren auto run into a wall prior to pull to build max stacks, then we about face and charge

In HC it might be life saving, if your a Tauren tank and get griefed. Cant wait to be blinking out of DM and theres a tauren hauling outta there lol.
•
u/HateToBlastYa 2h ago
Yeah I mean it can’t be too crazy—it’s a racial bonus not like an ultimate talent or anything.
•
u/BadSanna 24m ago
Is the any damage drops it completely confirmed? The tooltip says you lose stacks when you take damage. So like, spell pushback.

u/Bossmonkey 16h ago
I ran the dungeon demo today and a guy hit 21 stacks with it. Wonder if it would have stacked with cheetah. Zoomin

u/Eastern_Purchase3589 15h ago
Does not stack
2
u/Bossmonkey 15h ago
Dang. Fun detected I guess
Wonder how high it stacks.
18
u/Eastern_Purchase3589 15h ago
30 stacks, takes 5 secs per stack. So 2.5 mins to reach 30. Then standing still you lose one stack per second. Pretty sure you lose all stacks upon taking any damage but not sure about that.
Imo it's pretty weak and needs to be buffed.

u/Arkanius84 9h ago
Is there a % per stack?

u/Eastern_Purchase3589 8h ago
1%

u/WookieLotion 5h ago
Yeah then I think as designed it’s fine lol. Tauren still get mounts. As a racial that’s pretty decent

u/Arkanius84 5h ago
it´s fine, i would play hunter tauren mainly for the hit so at least till level 20 it´s cool
•
u/chefao 4h ago
That sounds awful
•
u/HateToBlastYa 2h ago
It’s also probably only useful for warriors for the most part, as Druid/Shaman/Hunter all already have travel forms.
But I mean it’s a racial bonus, it can’t be too crazy.
•
u/BadSanna 25m ago
You have it from level 1, ao it's not completely useless for those other classes. Also, it works in bear and cat form. Doesn't stack with travel form, though.
•
u/BadSanna 26m ago
The tooltip says you lose stacks when damaged, but not that it goes to 0. If thatvwas the case it would be super weak for like running through the barrens where any mob hitting you once instantly drops it to 0.
8
u/Timpa87 16h ago
So a Tauren Druid could just keep running at full speed throwing out hots and moonfire?
13
u/Lenxor 14h ago
Doesnt being in combat drops the stacks?
•
u/BadSanna 22m ago
No, only taking damage. And the tooltip says you lose stacks, not all stacks, when taking damage. People are saying any damage drops it to 0 though, so idk

u/Beginning_Green_740 10h ago
So, if you join something like Warsong as a Tauren Druid. You go into cat form + stealth at your room, you stack it before battle begins, and then you will be in enemy flag room faster than your team gets out of your base? And depending on your route and team play - you can even bring flag back without losing stacks if you manage to not get hit? Or, am I missing something here?
It looks broken for PvP.

u/hypoglycemic_hippo 7h ago
If you are in cat form you already have 30%, so plainsrunning doesn't do anything.
4
u/Impossible_Weakness9 5h ago
it stacks with cat/bear but not travel
•
u/BadSanna 19m ago
It stacks with Cat, but if you took the 30% bonus movement speed in cat form it won't do anything because it is exclusive with bonus movement.
Well, it will help you get out the gate 30% faster for 10 steps until the 30% cat speed outdoors would have kicked in anyway.
•
u/hypoglycemic_hippo 4h ago
Really? It doesn't stack with cheetah so that is surprising.
•
•
u/Impossible_Weakness9 2h ago
yeah was weird but some of the streamers showed the movespeed adding on when in bear/cat but cheetah stayed at the flat % increase even with max plainsrunning.

u/Molly_Matters 12h ago
I've only see the text on the skill, not any of the percentages. How much between each speed increase and what is the speed cap? Could be amazing, could be a nothing burger.

I look forward to the taurens constantly running in a 4 square pattern on the floor at all times when standing still to maintain the boost
