Both seals

WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria Classic Discussion

So…you were fine with the imbalanced racials for PVE content in Classic towards the Alliance, but the minute the pendulum swings in the Horde’s favor for BC

We want to make sure we maintain faction identity, but also realize that there’s an imbalance between the Horde and Alliance paladin Seals…To address this, the Horde and Alliance will still get their faction-specific Seals at level 64, but when they reach level 70, they’ll also be able to get the opposite faction Seal as well.

Is there a special Alliance faction bonus “Dev Influencer” that I’m not aware of?

OK at the end of the day this affects one class and it’s a simple change it’s fine Speaking from someone that played as a blood elf paladin back in the day.

I personally always felt that both factions should have had both because I always felt it was really stupid that alliance got the worst seal just because their alliance.

On top of that let’s not fool ourselves here horde population is going to go up dramatically because of the power of the racial’s.

In pvp and pve Well of the fursaken, Blood fury and command, And the both of those can be hunters and warlocks.

I think a better way to say it is blizzard doesn’t want to give players any more reasons to roll horde.

I think of anything they should buff alliance racial’s because I would be very very surprised if we don’t see at least a 30% increase of horde population across-the-board.

Maybe Alliance paladins want to participate in level 70 content without feeling inferior to Horde paladins. Why does this bother you?

Maybe Horde Warriors wanted to participate in level 60 content without feeling inferior to Alliance warriors, why didn’t that bother you?

bro shut up it’s good for the game. No one would play Alliance Ret if it stayed like this.

Imagine if Alliance was the only faction that got fireblast on Mage, could you be okay with that?

Alliance was fully represented the 2 years of original Burning Crusade, with only the weaker seal

I mean, Blood Elves in general are still gonna slap in PvP. Horde still has nerfed Hardness and buffed Blood Fury, WotF and now Arcane Torrent.

And all of BC is going to be lame for dps classes that aren’t Hunters, Warlocks, and melee with Glaives. Should Blizz re-balance?

They aren’t rebalancing . Alliance Rets will do the same damage as Horde Rets.

Rets have it tough enough already. Let them have this one thing.

Then, in WotLK, nerf them into the ground. INTO THE GROUND BLIZZ.

Nah, druids and paladins get to shine. DPS shaman become relevant. Shadow is great. Class roles aren’t as polarized as they are in Classic.

I think this is a good change for pvp servers. I have a buddy on my server that has rerolled alliance. Hes raiding with one of the best guilds on the server. He told me last week most of his guild are rerolling horde in TBC because of stuff like belf rets doing 20% more sustained dps than alliance rets. Among other things.

Im hoping stuff like this common sense and needed change help dissuade some allys from rerolling to horde on pvp servers.

In truth Im just citing what others have. At least one though ran sims on it I think it has to do with in raid group comp.

I’ll bet the people complaining about alliance getting SoB were some of the same people last week saying stuff like:

“It’s not fair that BE pallies have a superior DPS seal”

and

“OMG Blizzard needs to do something to make alliance more of an attractive choice so that faction imbalances don’t get worse”

There’s no pleasing some people.

Horde had vastly better PvP racials and still will in TBC, where it matters even more. PvE content was never hard in Classic and the racials are therefore less impactful. That said, they are reducing the effectiveness of Alliance PvE racials while making Horde PvE racials better in TBC by how the game worked back then.

You also get the best tanking seal in exchange, so stop whining.
