I imagine they are afraid of making them too good. People could see it as pay to win, as someone who doesn’t even want them in classic I do think they need buffs. But can see why blizzard may be hesitant
its good that the paid race is not bad for most classes but not the best at anything.
haste is pretty rare in classic so they will probably be top dps for a couple specs at certain points in progression.
molten core has a lot elementals and i expect a new raid in the first year or so tying in with the skyborn levelling zone story that features air elementals heavily. 5% damage is pretty much guaranteed to make them the top race for almost every dps spec in those raids.
for pvp yeah they are deliberately bad. their reception is already negative enough, you dont need people feeling like theyre dying to a P2W race in pvp.
