Hard Counter. Doesn’t win you the fight
Reapplied after Stoneform is gone. Doesn’t win you the fight.
First one only useful to Mana Dwarves, so Paladin and Priest. Second, lol…Stoneform to remove Serpent in PvP.
It’s biggest claim to fame. This is what makes Stoneform a good racial, but hardly what makes it a great racial. Rogues don’t -need- Blind to win fights.
All reapplied after it wears off. Rogues have the best bleeds in Vanilla, and all the Rogue has to do reset the fight to reapply if they desire. Also they won’t be factoring a blind into the equation if they’re bleeding the opponent. Bleeds break a blind. Warrior bleeds…the only thing it does is making restealthing a bit of a chore. Good Rogues can vanish reopen, or simple stealth reopen if they drop combat, between bleed ticks. It’s not hard. Done it many times myself. Ferals will have Faerie Fire, so using Stoneform as a Dwarf Rogue to re-enter stealth is…pointless. Feral Bleeds in Classic, on their own, are not nearly as strong as they are currently in retail WoW.
When you state Alliance has better PvP racials overall over Horde, its trolling…or just ignorance. I go with trolling, since the game is 15 years old now.
See above
Stoneform is strong, but only hard counters Rogues, and only because it removes Crippling and Blind. It’s use against Druids and Warriors is laughable, and even more so against UD Shadowpriests…thats right, ONE RACE / CLASS combo can use Devouring Plague, and they won’t need it to win against any class that Dwarf can play.
Hardiness doesn’t have to work in a vacuum against a single opponent. It’s RNG, with no interaction from the player. A single resist of a kindey shot, or Hammer of Justice, is all that is needed to win. Zero skill. It’s always there, ready to resist whatever stun comes your way.
It was Venruki (Forsaken Mage) 1st, Snutz (Forsaken Warlock) 2nd, and CDew (Orc Shaman) 3rd, in the Tipsout tourney. LvL40 PvP is not an indicator of how the game plays out.
