So one of the things I did when the expansion dropped was go and unlock all the Alliance Allied Races (except mechagnomes) and it took me about 2hrs maybe less. I steamrolled through it. The only thing that stopped me was having to queue to do the Mechagnome dungeon. I did all of these at level 50 on paladin.
I decided I would go and do the same with the Horde too, also level 50 but a warrior this time. Firstly, I noticed that I didn’t seem to get a choice who I unlocked first (I might have mis-clicked or something I haven’t checked yet) but the first race I was sent to woo was the Mag’har Orcs. This involves heading to the caverns of time and fighting Gul’dan. No problem I thought… How wrong I was, I seem to do no damage at all whilst getting absolutely smashed to pieces! I gave it a few goes but after my 5th death I hit Google to see what I was doing wrong. I could only find some discussion about it being tricky because of his heal at a certain part of the fight and that a few people had suggested it was meant to be done at level cap (?)
So basically, I’m just wondering whether I missed something? Are the allied races easier to unlock for alliance, even after the removal of rep grinds and such. Are you meant to do it at level cap, and paladin is just so OP atm that it was easy? Am I just a big dumb idiot? Please help me
You’re certainly no idiot. Thinking about it, Alliance does seem to get it easy with their Allied Race unlock. For example, finishing the Argus campaign will net you two Allied Races - Lightforged Draenei and Void Elves - and meanwhile, the Nightborne unlock is quite lengthy.
Level squishes and scalings have messed with a lot of enemy damage and survivability, so I would personally suggest to do things at level cap/outlevel as much as possible for anything.
With the new changes, all I had to do with my alliance character was go to the embassy and choose which one I wanted then do an easy “scenario” with a couple of stages, usually some lore related exploration and a boss fight at the end. Then they were unlocked and that’s that.
With this Mag’har Questline it is go to caverns of time, go to the portal, get humiliated by Gul’dan a lot.
I think I’m going to log in now with my horde and see if I can choose another allied race to unlock instead and see how easy/hard that one is.
