You are right bro, Alliance will never be a faction to run WF PVE.
Alliance players should find another game to play. Wow has become toxic for non horde players.

An exploit is using game mechanics in a way that wasn’t intended, like the bombs that were used on the Lich King fight to bug the falling platforms. A racial that prevents bleeds, that is preventing bleeds in a raid, is literally doing exactly what it’s designed for. Blizzard just apparently forgot it existed somehow and now have to eat crow by nerfing it. Changing the bleeds to a different kind of debuff that can’t be cured or avoided would have been the best solution.
Well it will need to be tested but we have already seen examples of this kind of mechanic in BFA and “stacks” were removed. Look back at Mythic Wrathion for an example.
Blizz needs to hurry up and just let you do everything cross faction with war mode off
And by them crippling both those abilities…it was very clear that Kyrian and Stoneform werent supposed to behave that way.
They should rename the ability and re-word it’s description if this is the kind of change they want to make. It’s a bait and switch otherwise. Of course, this could just be a tactic used to bait more race change money. They might start making these kind of changes every time a new raid or xpack comes out.
The first 1-2 ally guilds just didn’t use a priest (considering raids stacked druids/rogues then immunity classes like mage/hunter/paladin that wasn’t hard).
The dark phase random orb drop location got hotfixed like 2 weeks after the first kill and made goblins back to worthless on that fight.
It’s hardly a massive reason guilds changed horde.

Not really.
Were you going to call it “kyrian favoritism” too?
Arcane torrent was nerfed massively btw.
Its horrible now.
It only functions well as a dispel.
Which is marginally better than priest’s mass dispel in Kings’ Rest and on a single fight from Uldir.
Alliance have been benefiting from Shadowmeld in M+ and PVP for how long now, but that was mysteriously not mentioned in this post though.
I wonder why?

It’s not supposed to prevent bleeds? Which is its… only function… lol
No, it’s far more likely that Blizzard just forgot the racial existed and said “aw hell now what do we do” and nerfed the racial, in this one instance and nowhere else. Guess they shouldn’t be making racials that affect group content if they don’t actually want them affecting group content.
It was removing the permanent stacks, which was the issue.
Yeah, it was preventing bleeds. Its only function. Like I said, put the “bleeds” in another category of debuffs to solve the issue altogether without causing problems. 
Theres a difference between preventing damage and removing the stacks. If it prevented the damage for that period of time…this wouldnt be an issue.
It removing the stacks which was core to that fight was the problem.
Also:
They literally made a covenant ability that did the same thing, so…I dont know what you are trying to say here.
Unless you want to also casually ignore that Vial got hit.

Except that’s not how bleeds have ever worked in game. If you remove the bleed with an ability or item then it needs to be re-applied. It has never just picked back up where it left off. When the Dwarves turn themselves to stone they are healing those wounds and sealing them. A new wound needs to be applied when it wears off.

Thats how they should have worked for this fight, at least. Blizzard has made special rules for abilities before in raids.
Since the bleed mechanic is core to the fight, then that couldnt be allowed.
The Horde has always been embraced by Blizzard, it is not the first nor the last time this will happen. I hope that someday everyone will migrate to the Horde and this game will finish de-characterizing itself.
The balance of factions is already destroyed even
Does it have to be a bleed? Could they not simply name it something else rather than spit in the face of an entire race of people?
Because outside of that stupid mythic+ tournament it means nothing. Hell you would think the teams of entire NEs are rocking the mythic+ leaders board. But don’t worry because they aren’t. Hell the top rated mythic+ clear was made of of 4 non NE races. I mean what hackery is that!!!
