Fantasy rpg conventions have traditionally demanded the holy trinity of Tank, Ranged Fighters and Healers. But how is it fair that a melee character must fight with sword, axe, spear etc. Face to face with an enemy while that enemy is shooting them from 30 yards away with guns, arrows or spells. It is bad enough that in Wow guns and arrows exist. But Melee Heroes are also forced to confront Magic Users! Ugh!
So it’s not only do Melee heroes have to face arrows and bullets. But now they got to face all manner of Magic User that can set them on fire from a mile away. Again I ask, how is that fair.
I propose that Wow allow only Melee characters to be created. That way, only real honorable melee fighters will be able to meet on the field of battle face to face in a true competition of martial skill.
I mean you don’t see Conan the Barbarian or Red Sonja casting death from above using magic spells do you. Nope they fight with sword and axe. A fight between two melee warriors is a fair thing. A pure demonstration of courage and skill.
Imagine a Melee Warrior charging across a battle ground with their sword and shield and being shot to pieces by bullets, pincushioned by arrows or being fried by chain-lightning before they can even reach the enemy.
So yes, Allowing only the creation of Melee Heroes, and Removing all the Ranged and Magic classes should usher in a new era of fairness and honorable combat for Wow.
While we are at it might as well remove all caster and ranged mobs from the game. Bosses should only be allowed to use melee weapons. And stop them from casting AOE on the floor that has the Melee Heroes jumping around like cats on a hot tin roof.
My point is that Wow should eliminate the use of magic casting and ranged weapons from the game to even things out so that Melee Fighters get a fair break. Just saying.
Now come on people. Would you really march off to save the fairy princess brandishing your sword and shield and then realize that your facing off against Fire Mages, Hunters, and Warlocks that can all kill you in some real gruesome ways from 30 yards away?
I mean just imagine the scenario:
Your advancing towards the aforementioned group of enemies with your trusty sword and shield. Then you realize who your facing. Don’t even worry about the Mages yet. The Hunters and Warlocks are going to release their pets on you who are gonna make you into doggie chow. Meantime they are all gonna be targeting you with enough fire power that would make a nuclear strike small potatoes.
Ok, Then. Now, if you survived all that. We can talk about the mages. Who are gonna first freeze you into a block of ice, and then barbecue you slowly while they laugh.
So lets see what would happen if Wow removed Ranged weapons and magic from the game? What would casters and ranged weapons users need to do? Oh I know. They are going to have to pick up swords, axes, pikes, daggers, and maces like everyone else and fight fairly.
Sunday thread and all but warriors and rogues were always PvP chads and mages had to be good to hold their own. It’s always been easier to be Conan, Jack Sparrow, Grey Mouser Aragorn, Mash Burnedead, or Asta than Lina Inverse or Megumin.
