The WoW Forever gnome racial nerfed report concerns Eureka!, which Wowhead says no longer benefits periodic effects in the latest beta build. The report also notes that channeled spells do not count as periodic effects, and links the underlying Blizzard beta development notes.
What changed
According to Wowhead’s report, this follows an earlier Eureka! nerf that reduced the percentage of its resource discount. The reported adjustment removes the periodic-effect benefit and lists separate changes for eligible classes.
The listed adjustments keep the next three non-periodic abilities as the relevant scope. The report describes 10% resource-cost reductions and 10% increased damage for energy, rage, and mana variants, plus a mana version that also covers healing. The snapshot does not identify every class attached to each entry.
What this means for WoW Forever players
The observed change narrows the racial effect’s stated coverage in the beta report. It may matter differently across eligible classes because the listed ability adjustments are not identical, but the supplied evidence does not provide enough detail to calculate a rotation, damage change, or final class ranking.
The snapshot does not establish the build number, whether this version is live for players, whether the change will remain in the final game, or how much it changes Gnome performance at launch.
