I main shadow priest in arena, even less defensives than a disc priest and I think it’s fine. I adapt and overcome. I think you’re just bad and whining for no reason.
It’s not that big of deal, sure it’s a strong racial but it’s no more annoying than perception is for rogues.
If I say I main shadow priest, you say, but you’re a HORDE shadow priest. And I say, I still must face UD classes.
Then you say, it’s different from an alliance perspective, and then I say, well I have an alliance shadow priest. Then you say, but you’re not 70 on your alliance priest!!! Because my arena partners are on horde, and I still face undead so it’s not an argument.
Yet here we are. Only those looking for excuses care about this kind of thing.
No, some of us are just good enough to play and adapt. You aren’t.
Horde aren’t whining cry babies and that’s why I have a horde priest, too. All the alliance does is make excuses, no matter what, and that’s what they continue to do, despite overwhelming evidence of the contrary and people from their own faction telling them to learn to play around it.
Horde rogues play around perception but you don’t see rogues coming in here complaining (when we know it’s a game changer at high rating for comps like feral rogue, it’s a win condition or a lose condition — mostly).
Yet there is a horde feral rogue team at 2400 on EU
I do think WOTF is better but EA not even being close? I disagree.
Then again people generally let racials decide their pvp outcomes all the time. Historically, on pservers and classic retail, the ladder has never been decided by race and I’ve never had issues getting high rated with multiple races.
It did change over time. Just not in the time of Burning Crusade. And why would he be rallying against it? Those were actual design choices made during that expansion in the game. I don’t think you’re making the point you’re hoping to here…
Yes but most people play horde by mob mentality. People flock to what is marginally better in disproportionate numbers all the time lol, this is true outside of WoW.
Just like in WOTLK and cata when every single person goes alliance for arena because of EMFH.
Why do i feel like you came here just to talk yourself up, which i honestly couldn’t care less about. Playing an adapting is one thing, overcoming a disadvantage that the other team doesn’t have is poor game design and should be looked into.
Horde absolutely are whiny crybabies (recent change proves that). Horde rogues 100% come to complain about perception, there’s at least one thread a week, and there were tons of them during TBC beta.
I’ve played feral/rogue to 2k, and without my alliance rogue having WOTF for a free fear escape (those druid/warrior comps rely heavily on that before kill phase) its hard to get past it. I’d also say my lack of warstomp + cyclone combo has a little bearing as well…but you know, racials definitely don’t matter in 2’s.
Horde love to cite the ironfogepro data that shows faction populations at 46/54 so using that statistic the data from Arenas should not be that heavily favoured to horde.
I’d much rather have perception playing rogue feral and you can ask spottman/petrax what they prefer as well.
Listen, I played shadow priest with the EU players on endless and atlantiss.
I was 2.2k on those servers (where the highest rated 2s was around 2350).
Mind you, these are a lot the players picked for the asmongold arena tournament and the most highly regarded TBC players of this decade.
If I can succeed with shadow priest against the try hard competition from those servers, I’m pretty sure it’s fine. I haven’t started ranking on live yet because I was on the fence about playing at all. But I assure you that I will be able to push glad ratings (2.2k atm, will probably go up as the season goes on) as a shadow priest. With a world full of undead.
Shocking, I know. A shadow priest, the class that, arguably, struggles most with undead. It’s not that big of a deal, you’re literally arguing for something that doesn’t even hurt your class and the people who it does hurt, likely don’t care, including myself.
I mean it’s just a concept that applies to anything. It’s right regardless of whether or not the IF pro data explicitly states it.
But yes, horde better racials, ally lesser racials. The faction divisiveness in classic is worse than IRL political discussions at this point. /endrhetoric
11/25 in 2s means ally have representation in 2s equal to their overall population. that’s including pve servers too. the stat wasn’t meant to be impressive, either. it was used as evidence against the statement that horde racials are just so much better.
what you see in 3s is what you get when one racial is distinctly better than others against the most common comps at the time (rmp, wotf). the point i was trying to make is that horde racials are not universally better, beginning with EA on warriors. same case with dwarf dpriests.
Yeah as a druid, WOTF doesn’t bother me. It does, however, hurt my faction, substantially. Again, please stop talking about yourself. I really really don’t care. You also mentioned Asmon, which makes your point of view even more of a joke.
The bottom line is, if I picked my alliance priest to get glad on instead of my horde priest, they would still whine and cry about WoTF.
They still would, there’s no point even doing it because even if you shower them with evidence pointing to the contrary, they still believe in their minds that it’s the reason they lost: not their positioning, gcd choices, offensive/defensive timings, communication, etc
More of a joke when the best TBC players of the decade like rivah, ghingis, mir, hydra, leekzy, tazar, xaryu, etc etc were all competing? The list goes on and on, but these are just a few notable names.
I think you’re confused and need to do some more “research”.
