With the PvP changes being implemented on ERA in the coming weeks… I’m suggesting a new Rank 14 weapon to be introduced. Something to match the Alliance GM Swiftblade / Horde HWL Quickblade… but in axe form.
k thx

i would like this aswell
Great idea for balance reasons although I think this would be something for the next season.
But then you would have to give up Hardiness orc already has 4 combat racials, no one else even gets close.
You trade Hardiness for +5 skinning, we call it a deal.

I LOL’D!
“If you can use a racial you need to give a racial up!”
Ok. So Thunderfury should have an Axe form now right?
Basically this is what he’s asking for.
TLDR; “I want buffs”
They may as well give UD +5 swords and Daggers now too right? Seems fair to me.
Which is exactly what the Horde needs in the next season otherwise we will end up in the same situation SOM had. A dead version of WoW.
It needs to happen.

That is not the reason everyone played alliance…
they all zug’d alliance for the exact same reason everyone zugd to horde in Classic 2019, because Everyone plays where all the best guilds / players go.
There is a very good reason for this, because dog piling the same faction gives you the advantage of getting groups and being able to play with other skilled players more easily.
This is the exact reason why Everyone plays Horde in Retail; overall it has zero to do with what is Best, it has everything to do with where everyone is playing…

Such a ridiculously false statement. I was in the meeting with multiple Horde guilds that agreed on going Alliance. Over 400 Horde members went Alliance due to the FACT that they are immensely stronger.
Let me ask you this. Is Alliance stronger than Horde?
Well so long as everyone is playing on the Whitemane cluster, Horde or Alliance, it’s all for a good time.

itt: horde player wants equalized itemization to fit weapon racials
alliance players demand orc nerfs
This is why Paladins cant have nice things.

Excluding the situation that Horde speed clear teams are objectively superior in every way… When min-maxed to the max possible N’th degree Horde parses are better because after you have a geared tank “SALV” is no longer a concern.
Salv only works out well when you have a bad tank OR a badly geared tank.
That’s the only time when “paladins” provide advantage in the present meta where Warrior DPS is BiS by a mile.

There has also been ZERO Horde guilds to ever complete the hard mode in AQ40.
The game is balanced for Alliance success. Period.
You moved the goalpost to speed runs for some reason. WF = Damage. Kings = Damage, suvivabilty, Regen, Mana pool.
65 Alliance guilds cleared AQ40
15 Horde guilds cleared AQ40.
Speed is not everything, in fact…it’s nothing when it comes to getting a raid cleared.
NO… I simply said that in Classic 2019 literally every one went Horde because its BiS.
A certain group of more influential people went alliance in SoM because they wanted to do so.
Because all the good raid teams rolled Alliance, not because the horde is bad.
So I dredged up “Vanilla Classic 2019” speed clears of AQ40, from back when only the most sweaty players were playing Horde; who have now moved on to TBC then Wrath.
Again, its not that Horde is bad, its that people Swarmed alliance because with bad gear in pre-raid alliance is easier until the point where tanks can hold threat without even trying anymore.
https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/1005#metric=speedIts for the reason that “The best” set the trend, the rest all zug in right behind them on that selection choice. As a result, the “BEST OF” the players who went back and played SoM selected alliance (most likely because its easier in very early raid content) that everyone else went alliance.
Its not a mystery, we already know how it all plays out.

This is again a ridiculous false claim with no evidence to back it. We have PROOF that no Horde guilds have cleared AQ40 on the hardest.
Yet again we are talking speed runs when this is not related to the topic in any way.
Additionally you are pulling Classic 2019 information rather than SoM.
SoM pushed the difficulty high enough to push Horde out of being a playable faction. The original game allows Horde to actually play, a step higher results in exactly what we had in SoM1 1. 80% of the population being Alliance once BWL drops.
We are looking at 90% population on Alliance in Season 2 if they launch with the same lack of faction balance. People are far too knowledgeable of the issues the Horde have, EVEN MORE PEOPLE WILL ROLL ALLIANCE THIS TIME.
I will be here to say “I told you so” if Blizzard makes this mistake yet again.
I have a feeling they learned their lesson and steps will be taken to resolve this horrible faction imbalance.
You’re wrong, I know you cant admit it but you are wrong. Just because no good raid teams existed on Horde side does not make horde bad…
Actually it does, Speed clears are done by only the best players for a very good reason.
We all literally knew what we were getting into when playing Classic 2019, SoM was just a MEME of Classic 2019…
Pre-Nerf just about everything has always been done by Horde, and if No hord raid teams cleared it in SoM was simply because there were no good players playing Horde this time… I know that’s kinda annoying to your narrative here but dude… horde is not bad, its just fine.
I cant believe people still think Horde is bad after we proved it is BiS in Classic 2019.
EDIT: One thing you have likely failed to consider here…
Its highly unlikely “Hard Mode” PVE will be a thing on SoM2 after all the wimps cried over it. Especially since after BWL (according to everyone I know who played it) DIED the death not long after BWL and the final nail went into the coffin after gates were opened for SL mount, then everyone dipped.
If blizzard is ever been considered predictable, its unlikely that an unpopular function will remain in game.
