I wonder when future SL raids are announced and horde racials are looking to be beneficial in it, will they nerf them in advance of the raid? I think not.
One rule thee, another for me.
From what you have decided that they will Nerf it?
Ofc they wont, the reworked Belf racial was known to be a cheese for Zul and KR adds even during Beta, however it remained in the game.

Excuse me, but can you elaborate on your question I simply dont understand what you are asking me ? I dont get to decide anything.
I mean, the stoneform wasn’t the only thing nerfed.
And from blizzard’s reaction, it seems that the Stoneform / Kyrian Phial severely broke the raid.
What happens if the racial in question was a horde one? would it still be okay for blizzard to nerf it? ( Hint : Blood elf racials put on GCD and no longer a silence )
I think this is just double standard from the Alliance players.
Being on the less represented faction doesn’t mean you should get free advantages.
My opinion on this though, if stoneform and the phial significantly reduced the difficulty to the point where they broke the game, then yeah the nerf is needed, especially since its not a nerf to the ability, rather the bleeds from the specific raid.

Okay, now this is kinda funny. I didn’t think they would do something as pathetic as this.

Oh you mean like KJ were goblin jump was the key to victory, or voodoo shuffle on jaina and lets not forget the so called Belf one getting nerfed so that its an advantage on Zul.
However you do have a point that these were a bit too OP but lets face the facts the Alliance really needs some incentive.
Lets not forget voodoo shuffle on jaina.

Blizzard on Goblin Rocket Jump on Kil’Jaeden and Blood Elf Arcane Torrent on Zul - Looks alright 
For the Horde! 
Blizzard on Dwarf Stoneform on Castle Narthia - This is not fine, to give the Alliance such an advantage, that’s not fair! Nerf it!

So true, if only this were satire. I’m sure the next SL raid will have a massive horde racial advantage and they won’t nerf the horde racial in question before, during or after the raid.

Oh im sure they could think of a way to make it so that Stomp is a boss breaker.

You are so exagerating this. Like dwarf racial is removed or something. And there has never been bosses better for alliance. Or … M+ is totally alliance biased.
Not really, there are three easy examples of important raids which were designed to be easier for horde. And people wonder why horde guilds often get world firsts 
World first raid KJ had 1 goblin. still it is “important horde bias”. these guys just leaped and used a warlockportal. You exagerate so much.

True but it was a viable way to bypass the mechanic and countless people rerolled to goblin just for that reason alone, alliance included. Same as the other examples, can it be done without them yes, but are they an important advantage also yes.

Sure but i quote.
I am about the exageration. I am not saying KJ (YEARS AGO) goblin was not useful…
At this point they should highlight DoTs you can self-cleanse, as the next raid isn’t the only exception.
I don’t see this as too problematic. Stoneform will probably still be very useful in many situations for M+ dungeons, like it was in the previous 2 expansions.
Atleast they change it before release, unlike ToT in MoP, where a lot of players switched to troll for the bonus against beasts, that got nerfed later.
I tried to forget that boss fight.
For my casual guild Zul was the point where we stopped raiding when one or even both our priest healers couldn’t make it to the raid because of work.
But Uldir as whole was one of the most unfun raids.

Weeeeeell…
You are biased, as you’re already identifying yourself as Horde.
And the vast majority of the playerbase spends little to no time on the forums.
So I don’t think any amount of complaining on the forums changes new players perception of the factions.
And if anyone thinks they can accurately judge thousands upon thousands of players by how a few posters act on the forums they’re dumb anyway.
The forums are a minority of the playerbase, the trolls/whiners/complainers are a minority of the minority.
Not at all representable for any faction as a whole.

Of course since ive been horde since TBC. I wouldnt change for nothing.
I’m just saying theres too much alliance complaining going on The racials werent nerfed it still works normally doesnt it? Just doesnt clear the bleeding in this raid which would have made it hugely OP so the fix was right thing to do.
So techically the title is wrong…the racial wasnt nerfed the boss mechanic was fixed. Or did i understand this wrong?
Boss still does their thing, but the racial was nerfed as it can no longer do all of what it could prior.
