Not at all. Only the top 5% of players will ever play at a level near where racials actually matter.
Not in the way you seem to have taken my post(s), if you even read them.
It is.
Never said it wasn’t, simply my response to the “ree reroll alliance then” crap that you folks love to spew on here. As if that’s somehow a better fix than merc mode.
As a general rule, they don’t. Again, for the 8th(?) time in this thread, queue times for BGs wouldn’t be so disproportionate if they did
Everyone rerolled Tauren? EVERYONE?? And not because any of them like Tauren, or because Tauren is the only Horde choice for a decently popular class, but because of a nonsense claim like this?
kevin jordan (vanillas class designer) fought him on a lot of things, like death wish being in the arms tree.
Warriors in tbc get everything they need, its quite comical the retail crowd goes around saying theyre useless in tbc when they become the best dps by sunwell.
If I were serious about it I’d be farming leather while in queue. I plan to do so, but I can’t sit in queue at the same time. Not really a downside, but I can’t work towards gearing while farming my epic mount at the same time.
Agreed, but you know as well as I, that everyone mimics the top 5%. It’s plastered on wowhead on basically every class page what the best race is for each type of content. Don’t tell me you believe it doesnt influence player choice just because its not as important as they think.
What’s this bit about? it’s like your replying to something I didn’t say. There are literal posts, one of which gained quite a bit of traction at launch of Taurens wanting the hitbox change not to go through because of this.
I didn’t say ‘everyone’ once, and you emphasized it twice, what’s that about?
this is a load of bull honky. it doesn’t take being in the top 5% to have your game come down to a warrior resisting a rogue’s stun only to turn around and 3shot him. It doesnt take being in the top 5% for rogues using WotF against a priest at low health to kill them when they instantly break the priest’s fear.
the problem with the horde racials is that they are focused at the very core of all pvp, which is using cc/healing/damage in order to kill your opponents. if you remove complete elements of one of those 3, you break the game. that is why blizzard completely removed orc stun resist from the game and added an alliance equivalent to wotf in wotlk. they even made the alliance equivalent BETTER than the horde version, which caused the one and only massive migration of pvp’ers to flock to the alliance with server transfers and rerolls.
but yeah man only 3.3333% improvment with a fear and charm immunity (all guides said not to make a warlock unless you hate life on the alliance because 90% of the horde would be Undead) An AOE SILANCE, a stun immunity that stacks, a free AP/SP trinket, and a free haste trinket. the horde have it tough man alliance is truly the easy mode pick.
Thank GOD we can remove one Snare with a cast time with knockback, and see stealth from further away
rogues are mostly used for control in arenas. the big deal with orc stun resists is that it immediately puts the person who was attempting to stun at a disadvantage with no skill on the part of his opponent. every single stun in the game has a cooldown attached to it to balance it. however, orc stun resist can cause an orc to resist every stun with no cost and no cooldown. but its ok, you keep saying how only the top 5% of players are affected. the numbers dont lie. there is a reason almost everyone who plays a warrior/hunter/shaman all play orcs.
how about you hop on your main tbc character so we can see which race/class combo you main. my guess is either orc warrior/hunter or undead rogue since those are the only people that use racials as a handicap then argue tooth and nail to keep the status quo.
and I do have some orcs. Not once have I resisted chain stuns, especially in the manner you seem to be convinced it happens. Hence, you living in magical christmas land.
You folks thinking the majority of players are making their choices over this are definitely huffing something.
The point is, with the stun resist, it is nearly impossible to chain stuns because you will resist at least one of them. Not that you will resist them all. All it takes is 1 resisted stun to cause a rogue to go from the offensive, to the defensive. And that’s the point
