Can’t decide on faction

Struggling to figure out what faction to play on this Fresh going into TBC. Plan on playing a rogue this time around because I am tired of healing in every iteration of this game.

Been playing this wonderful game since 2004. Started as Alliance and raided through AQ40. Switched to Horde in WOTLK, and have been since in Retail (not that it matters now)

In 2019 I rolled Alliance, hit 60, then Rolled Horde and hit 60 again to play with friends.

SoD Went Alliance, then Rolled Horde to tank as a shaman but now I’m healing.

This time around I want to stick to one side since I will be rolling on a PvP server and if they keep the usual server rules of one faction per pvp server (unless multiple servers are opened, then maybe ill level a 2nd character on another server?)

Any advice? I would either be an UD or Human.

Go Horde rogue so you don’t have to lose every sword to a human warrior.

Common consensus is: When you go horde rogue, u get will of the forsaken as an undead making u counter warlocks to a degree. Alliance doesn’t get that luxury. Unless u want a pve bonus with weapon skills. Whatever is more important to you.

Imo: Racials only help slightly, so pick whatever race u want to play.

Guess my Retail guild helped. Going Horde PvP. See yall there on my UD Rogue. Happy hunting

BG queues will always be longer for Horde. Horde will have a higher win rate than Alliance.

with enforced faction balance, I am hoping it is not as bad as your usual pvp realm. We will see though.

I have played and enjoyed both factions so I kind of know how you feel. I would suggest Horde if you plan to mainly PvP, and Alliance if you plan to mainly PvE. Best of luck out there soldier.

I never had that problem as a rogue.

Completely torn between UD Priest and Nelf Druid. Lots of coin flipping going on between now and Thursday :person_facepalming:

Almost the same experience I have had with the game for the past 15 years, Played mostly Alliance. Going Horde This time around UD Rogue going be fun. What I am doing.

What would you like the TBC race to be next year if a goal?

That is how I picked.

I wanted a paladin. Space goat or horde barbie. Horde barbie won.

I’ve made cata very alliance centric with recent service sales changes. My horde 85’s…are now alliance.

So with cata alliance favored…era is horde for balance.

Leaning to undead rogue since I’ve never really ran forsaken before. And one day the BE paladin comes with a nice start that rogue will make the money to have lol

Go horde or you won’t get gear.

13

For me I would rather lose a bunch and play than play waitcraft

14

The clear choice is between gnome rogue and tauren rogue. You decide.

15

Go alliance so less queue time for me :slightly_smiling_face:

16

Will que times matter with the faction balance stuff being used?

18

Well horde still has a longer queue than alliance even though there’s faction balance in SoD. Back when they were tweaking matchmaking, a solo queue on horde could be hours, meanwhile alliance was instant no matter solo or group.

I’m not sure if they bother balancing around active accounts or they include inactive accounts.

Undead, its BiS always BiS; FOREVER BiS.

20

Tauren rogue has BiS stealth skills, just sayin

21

Yeah but to unlock that you need full T3 on Every Race of rogue unlocked on your account; ain’t nobody got time for dat.
