    If Anduin didnt have Mass Rez?

    If Anduin didnt have Mass Rez?

    Watching that cinematic again it seems like had Anduin not mass rezzed his Army he couldve lost that battle.

    It seems after Sylvanas Banshee screamed wiped out the alliance front ranks and rallied the Horde the Horde was about to break the offensive and score a crushing defeat on the Alliance infact it looked like Genn was even killed.

    So how do you think the battle wouldve played out had he not had that OP spell?

    "Banshee Sylvannas" and Mass-rez Anduin looks like a very localized event. In the end, it's still the combined might of Stormwind/Ironforge/Gilneas roflstomping Undercity

    Was it even mass res or was it just aoe healing magic? I always though true resurrection was just a gameplay mechanic and didn't actually exist in lore, otherwise important lore characters would never die (unless they were burned to ash through fel magic).

    It was a Heal. The Soldirs seconds before Anduin is channeling his heal are moving. They are hurt and wounded but not dead.


    So that means here we see what happens on a daily base in PvP: The side with more healers wins. And since the Horde had none, well...

    And if Sylvanas didn't have that.... dark shitty magic, whatever, that rallied her troops, whorde would've had their asses handed to them on a plates, deep roasted. Just another pointless fight with 2 leaders flexing their abilities, where no side can win or lose.

    It does exist, but is exceedingly rare. Medivh would be a prime example, but there was a time Anduin did in fact revive Varian (not in a non-chalantly way, super emotional and likely a fluke)

    I think the Alliance would had still won that battle because from 30 seconds in, you could see just how large the Alliance army is based on the view. There were like a dozen or so of those siege machines and like at least tens of thousands of troops.

    Let the Forsaken use the plague, the only one alive in that battlefield would have been Genn

    Tirion was able to mass res us in Icecrown Citadel. That was real in the lore and not just a game mechanic. It can be done but it's super duper rare.

    If Anduin hadn't cast that spell, the dozen or so soldiers she hit would have died and been replaced by the ranks behind them like nothing had happened.

    Following that, the Horde forces would have promptly been crushed because they were being led by a commander who was so inept that she thought that the best way to defend an underground city which is only accessible via a handful of small lifts, which is inhabited by people who cannot get sick, don't need to eat and don't need to drink against an enemy with both numerical and technological superiority was to charge out the front gates.
    Garrosh did nothing wrong.

    If Sylvanas has just ordered her forces to camp underneath Undercity than the Alliance would secure all exists, trapping the Horde forces inside or even worse destroy the entrances so the Horde gets trapped either way.

    Anduin cast Power Word: Barrier and an aoe heal at the same time. He's op like that. He didn't rez anyone; how ridiculous would it be if Genn was killed by that one random lightning strike to the side.... lol no. They were just injured and he healed / protected them to regroup. Derp.

    Terenas Menethil rez'd us not Tirion.
    Ideally no one has ever hit the level cap of the last expansion, looked at their dungeon blues, and thought "I win."

    And then the mages open portal and they leave, abandoning the Undercity with no casualties. GG?

    Varian was close to death.

    This, it's just a heal, not a rez.
    A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don’t have one, you’ll probably never need one again.

    Pretty sure Sylvanas' banshee melt killed about 5-10 guys.

    Anduins heal/ress hit about 30 people.

    It just looked cool for cinematic.. The battle looks much bigger than just these events.

    We, the players are even meant to be there at some point and we'll tear like a 100 mobs to shreds.
