If they make any change to racials, the safest thing to do is just delete them from arena. I would be a big supporter of this. Just let people play the race they like.
What do you actually suggest to balance racials? I’m with you that the TBC racial balance isn’t great, but it’s not so bad that I would roll the dice with blizzard making the problem worse but flipping the flavor of the month. Alliance had 35% of top arena spots season 1-3, and 60% season 4. This is bad, but nothing close to the disaster of every man for himself in wrath beyond where alliance hold 99% of the top spots. If blizzard won’t even fix the significantly worse problem from wrath, why would they fix it in TBC which at least has both factions playable at a competitive level?
I’m just not sure what the point of playing a Classic game is if you are going to ask for things to be changed significantly.
Aren’t Human melee the best in Vanilla and TBC because the best weapons in the game are Swords and the occasional Mace?
Bloodfury is a good racial. It also makes sense in the lore that Orcs have this. I’m just not seeing it being worth such a big change for what amounts to WCL ranking envy.
You know if they do this (I’m not 100% against it) that you have to give Tauren the Escape Artist racial and Undead get Shadowmeld.
Do you know if same faction BG’s were a thing in TBC classic 2.0? I don’t remember. If not, choosing a faction for Bgs is extremely important in regard to queue times.
faction bgs came out like 4 weeks into classic tbc s1 after the horde had a total meltdown over insane queue times and alliance premades, i don’t know if this version of bc will have them
PvP racials are balanced because more people pvpd seriously than did pve in 07’. If we had more dragonslayers then this would be solved(horde also wasn’t majority then so they had other reasons not to nerf).
Let me get this straight. WE just played 2019 classic fresh… you rolled Ally because Ally has pallys and is the better faction in vanilla. Now you are asking for changes in TBC because ally dont have the better racials? Just ask for a faction change and give blizzard their money. Everyone that rolled horde this fresh did it for the long game, just because ally players want short term bis faction doesnt mean they should get their cake and eat it to. Leave it alone and re roll like the rest of your guildies are.
The Sweat must flow.
And the Horde will now be overexposed to excessive hair care product use and daily condescension at mudhuts just so that can happen.
I just wanna get some coffee and hang with the windchime in Shattrath. But yeah. If Blizz is gonna offer a 58 boost (and they will) then they can free the faction swaps as well so sweaty whales rejoice!
Just because parselords would sell their souls to the devil to squeeze out extra dps doesn’t mean that -50% healing isn’t a balancing factor. Especially in pvp, self mortal striking yourself is a massive gamble.
The original game wasn’t designed exclusively for parselords.
