    And how does that justify that you basically pay 25$ to get a 5% damage increase? How does that change the fact that every other race will be outright inferior for every class? Why should two equally bad (or good) players have a 5% difference in damage purely based on the race they chose at the selection screen (or if they are willing to pay 25$ or not)? How does the game improve by having everyone play the same race, purely because it's stronger?

    How about we remove any sense of 'uniqueness' to every class, and just make them all the same. geez.
    Most players think that there are ways to make races and classes different without making one class outright stronger/overpowered, maybe based on how the skills function, what utility they bring and so on? Do you also feel like mages need to deal 100k dps more than everyone else, just to ensure that they are different from other classes or could this possibly be arranged in a different way, for example we could give them different skills?!

    See, the point is that they don't have to if they're a troll on one of those fights.

    Entire guild race changes to trolls to get Realm Firsts.

    Blizzard puts in 7 day delay period on race changes.

    Most players are retarded then -.-
    lets change how skills function...obviously whichever one performs the best will be OP
    ok...lets make them them bring different utility..again...one utility will be better then others for certain fights

    the absolute only way there are no advantages are to have 0 racials...which would be extremely bland

    At the end of the day it's still going to be the same handful of guilds capable of competing for world first anyway.

    You can achive about the same thing in many different ways. Classes or races can be stronger or weaker in certain areas but combined give a relatively equal contribution to the raid. Do you think that some classes just should deal more damage than others without any drawbacks and that this would be ok (and if this was the design purpose we'd hardly need any balance changes)? I'm entirely fine with certain classes or races having (relatively small) advantages on different fights/situations, but no class should just be outright stronger in every/the majority of situations, nor should any race. Again, do you feel like mages need to deal more dps than every other class to ensure that they are different?

    not a big deal
    But that was ONE class and still was mediocre dps. Trolls can be everything but paladins This means the strongest dps will be even stronger if they roll troll. Not that i care, i don't do progression stuff at all.

    Trolls are already the best thing for a caster type last i read anything about it. And warlocks and mages are pretty top dps classes atm.

    Pretty sure they will bench the paladin class in these world firsts because of this. But we'll see.

    Less time spent on "easier" Bosses -> More time on harder Bosses.

    And secondly, i'd like to know where you already learned which Bosses are pretty easy and which are hard?

    The position of a Boss doesn't always reflect it's difficulty.

    Examples:

    Spirit Kings Hc, those 4 guys were harder than Elegon and Will by far
    Zor'lok Hc, Tay'ak and Garalon are pretty easy compared to this guy
    Majordomo Staghelm, aside from the broken Dps requirements in 25 Hc this Boss was a joke
    Trial of the Grand Crusader, Northrend Beasts were harder than Lord Jaraxxus and Faction Champions
    Ulduar, General Vezax is easy for a penultimate Boss

    Nature Resistance without Dps loss (compared to Hunter), Insane Melee Dps Support, Mana Tide, Tremor.


    Fear Ward was just wanted because most Tanks were too dumb for Stance Dance and Fear Ward did their job for them.

    Tremor Totem would like a word. Fear Ward wasn't anything special at all. It was merely a crappy light version of shamans' hardcounter. The only advantage of fear ward was that it prevented fear, instead of dispelling it in pulses 2 seconds in between.

    I would get a laugh if every world first was achieved by a guild full/mostly full of trolls (at least for dps/tanks). Besides, it would be a true old school Horde raid...no paladins. :P

    They've proven they see no sacred cows, and iirc, trolls have had this racial since day 1. It's basically been a laughing stock...until now. Orcs have had Command since day 1, and it got nerfed going into this expansion (from 5% to 2%). Sure, it didn't affect every class available to orcs, but it affects every encounter for those classes it does affect.

    You're trying to compare a flat DPS boost across the board, to one that's to a minimal number of bosses ever?

    this is an incredibly stupid comparison.

    in wotlk, naxx had tons of undeads and paladins were balanced around it. they got a buff to stay competitive in ulduar. balance tweaks continued to happen throughout the xpac.

    secondly, auto-crit exo wasn't nearly worth 5% overall dps.

    thirdly, you can only bring so many paladins. you can bring a shit-ton of trolls.

    fourth, horde and alliance both have paladins.

    i'm not sure how many beast bosses there are in the upcoming tier. if it's more than 2, or if the roadblock heroic bosses are beasts, then guilds will faction change. that sucks.

    There's still no any valid arguments for why this should stay.

    It dosen't make the race any more unique, outside of raiding it's close to irrelevant, they already have zerk, you can't honestly pull the vanilla card either..

    Just rid dps racials overall, and have it be utility/cosmetics only...
