In World of Warcraft (WoW)'s latest expansion, The War Within, players can unlock the new Titan-forged Earthen race after following several significant steps. From the first look at the Traits for the Earthen race, I'm sure many players will decide to create one and maybe even use it as their main.
Let's dive in and discuss all five Racial Traits for Earthens in The War Within, which just seems perfect for the subterranean world we are diving into come 22 August (Early Access) or 26 August (full launch).
WoW The War Within Earthen Racial Traits Detailed
As their Racial Traits, the Earthen in The War Within have one spell (Azerite Surge) alongside four passives. Check out the important details for each Racial Trait for the new WoW race below, starting with the powerful spell!
Azerite Surge
The earthen draw upon their inner strength using an empowered spell that, when released, invokes the power of Azerite in a cone in front of them, dealing Fire damage. The Azerite Surge spell has a 2-minute timer. As it is empowered, the spell gains additional effects, namely:
- I: Deals Fire damage
- II: Heals allies hit by the effect
- III: Deals additional fire damage to the enemy's health, most affected by the effect.
Now, let's move on to the Earthen passive Traits!
Ingest Minerals
Earthen are always Well Fed thanks to this Racial Trait, but you cannot consume any food. Activate to consume a Khaz Algar gem and change the benefit granted to you by Well Fed:
- Amber (Stamina)
- Emerald (Haste)
- Onyx (Mastery)
- Ruby (Critical Strike)
- Sapphire (Versatility)
Hyper Productive
This Earthen Trait increases your character's Finesse by 2%. Finesse increases the chance of gathering additional materials when gathering.
Titan-Wrought Frame
Base armor from equipped items is increased by 10%. Makes the Earthen fantastic when combined with a tank spec.
Wide-Eyed Wonder
When you gain experience for exploring any location, gain 200% additional exploration experience.
Clearly, the Earthen racial traits are absolutely perfect for delving into the subterranean worlds underneath Azeroth. In fact, I think these are some of the most powerful Traits in World of Warcraft.
Time will tell if Blizzard decides to nerf or even slightly adjust one or more of the Earthen racial traits. For now, you can catch up on the story so far to prepare for The War Within with the awesome video from Blizzard embedded below.
