just disable racial abilities in instanced content, a pretty controversial move but the most fair one in my opinion, level the playing field for everyone, let the choice of a particular race be purely cosmetic
Good change. It's never too late to squash drastic racial advantages, I just hope they continue to do it for other racial problems now (e.g. Shadowmeld) and still address any racial problems that pop up in future patches too.This change was made in plenty time too. Well done Blizzard.
Gotta love the alliance tears in this post. "BALANCE IS OKAY BUT NOT IF YOU DO IT TO ALLIANCE!"
Something needs to be done about the faction ratio. The leaderboards (R.io, hall of fame or whatever) can't be interpreted in any other way. Racials is part of it. Plenty of mythic raiding guilds on my server (Ravencrest) transferred to the Horde for Shadowlands, but I don't see any actions from Blizzard on that part. In fact I haven't seen Blizzard talk about faction balance at all.Being Horde has no real downsides, while being Alliance got plenty. Something gotta give and since racials is mostly a symbol (at least until there's more competition) I propose hitting the horde in the gold.
The all-Dwarf raid is still on, right?
The Generals bleed mechanics are integral to the fight. If you can dispel them the fight is broken. This change isn't a nerf it is fixing an exploit. Stop crying and go play FF14 if you're so upset.
You know there is a point. Everyone keeps bringing up Jaina in BoD and how horde had the advantage because of the troll racial. However, everyone was Horde on that fight. The last three bosses, alliance got turned into horde. So both sides experienced it and it wasn’t a faction imbalance. XD
yeah i never understood why exorsus changed 2 months early instead of the day of or before the mythic raid opening
There is a massive difference between a racial leading to slightly higher DPS, or giving just enough burst to get over a hump, and a racial removing a permanent dot that is meant to be the hard enrage on a fight.
Oh man, I had heard that some guilds had already transferred to alliance because of stoneform. Ouch
