Raiding Alliance/Horde

holydevil · 03-08-2005, 08:58 AM

Most everyone pretty much seems to agree that Alliance has it easier at raiding than Horde. Paladins and Fear ward help a lot so far. My question is if the devs have ever addressed this? Is it intentional for Alliance to have an easier time. Do they feel that the sides are actually balanced, or possibly it is only more difficult because some horde abilities are not working as intended, like maybe grounding totems for instance? I am just curious this isn't a nerf paladin thread or soemthing I just kind of wanted some insight. The is a huge disparity between Horde and Alliance in terms of difficulty or access to raid useful spells. I could be wrong, I know right now FoH is the top Horde guild. I raid MC but I haven't gotten to Rag. This is more of just a question, is it harder, and if it is then why.

Thanks for your time,
G

The horde v alliance raid debate is kind of like the whole paladin shaman one. Its a smoke screen that the horde uses to make their e-peens feel bigger by saying they're playing "the real game" on "hard" level.

Hah I play horde and fuck my E-peen I want it easier...everytime I do lucifron it pisses me the fuck off that purge only effects charmed people and NPCs. This means that the horde's main healers also have to be main dispellers. This pushes up your minimum required amount of priests to have because you either cant do phase healing because the off-phases have to be dispelling or the current phases need to dispell the raid and heal the main tank at the same time which is insanely difficult. Then the paladin can actually off-tank mobs in MC. Shaman? haha yeah right. I am not saying shaman are gimp though because I love having them on raids. My main gripe is just that our main healers are also our only dispellers....and that whole fear ward thang.

Cleanse makes Molten Core a lot easier, there's just simply no denying that. I doubt they'll nerf cleanse, so hopefully they do a better job with future raid zones.

The whole Onyxia key quest for Horde was just a pure slap in the face. Thanks for fixing it now that we've already gotten ~70 keys... fucking cunts.
