Goblin

🛡️ Identity

The goblins of the Bilgewater Cartel are cunning, profit-obsessed tinkerers who fled the destruction of their island home of Kezan and threw in with the Horde out of pragmatism as much as loyalty. Brilliant engineers and ruthless dealmakers, they bring explosives, gadgets, and an unshakable belief that every problem has a price tag — and a rocket-powered solution.

⚔️ Racial Abilities

• Rocket Jump — Activates your rocket belt to jump forward a short distance — a free gap-closer or escape. Shares a cooldown with Rocket Barrage. (1.5 min cooldown)

• Pack Hobgoblin — Calls in your friend Gobber, giving you bank access for 1 min. A strong out-of-combat convenience for managing inventory and selling on the go. (30 min cooldown)
• Time is Money — Increases your Haste by 1% — an always-on offensive secondary-stat boost that benefits every spec. (Passive)
• Best Deals Anywhere — Always receive the best possible gold discount from vendors, regardless of your faction standing. Saves gold but has no combat impact. (Passive)
• Better Living Through Chemistry — Increases your Alchemy skill by 5. A profession convenience with no combat impact. (Passive)

📈 Min-Max Analysis

• Raid — Time is Money's flat 1% Haste is a clean, universal throughput gain that every spec appreciates, making Goblin a strong default for Horde raiders. Rocket Jump can reposition for mechanics or close distance, and Rocket Barrage adds a tiny bit of burst, though both are minor in a raid context.
• Mythic+ — The 1% Haste from Time is Money is steady value on every pull. Rocket Jump is the real highlight in Mythic+: an extra mobility cooldown to skip gaps, dodge frontals, or chain pulls, which can meaningfully improve routing and survival.
• PvP — Rocket Jump is excellent in PvP — a free movement burst to engage, escape, or reposition that most classes would love to have. Rocket Barrage adds a small chip of guaranteed damage, and Time is Money's passive Haste is a constant minor edge. The mobility is the standout.
