Faction balance in SOD

recently shared buff between faction seems to be unfair a bit. I wish all the best to hunters and shamans it is not personal.

paladin kings has been granted as a raid buff to horde while the hunter is given 10more stats atop of kings. Probably better to make it a party buff to support more hunters in the raid when the spec is on low dmg end as marksman now. After watching ziqo video about the interview before pug, it looks like it is not best time for range hunter.

blessing of salvation has been granted to shamans while buffing their ap by 20%. i think it is pretty good and powerfull.

on the other end.

alliance got str+agi totem as party buff for paladin sharing slot with Martyr and divine storm. I did not experienced this buff in both phases as no ret/prot will take it. And as a horde buff migrated to alliance it give nothing else to caster no 20%AP or 10% stats.

alliance got tremor totem as rune for paladin. again rune shares a slot with exorcist and avenger shield. it means that if taken the paladin will sacrifice again huge part of his dmg. No 20% ap or 10% stats on top.

Aliance got WF for ferals whom again, did not got anything atop of the buff to party. It would be great if there would be 10-20%, crit chance, stats buff or hp buff for feral using wild strikes. Ferals need some love and alliance need more ferals.

Faction balance really doesn’t matter outside PvP

What they really should balance is classes, so that people do not have trouble finding groups because they deal less damage than tanks

It does for finding groups, pugging and competing for things like Dark Riders.
It’s not fun to be on a server where it takes ages to find groups or when the opposing side snipes the quest mob from you.

Paladins’ blessings being worse than what shamans have to offer has little to no impact on open world competition

Oh, right, those, I meant more about population numbers and not the actual skills :d

Yeah that obviously matters
The OP was complaining about other types of imbalance

I just woke up, my brains fried

Just nerf shamans/rogues tl’dr.

It is interesting to see that once you will make a post from an paladin, most people have only their bubble in mind :smiley: not able to react on the actual message.

So.

BoK - agreed, hunter’s lion sharing with kings is stupid.
BoS - no issue with horde having it too.
Horn - Holy paladins take it, if there is no ret paladin in the raid.
Inspiration - again, Holy paladins use it when needed, otherwise, personally, I use Sac for damage control if boss doesn’t have Fear or Sleep.
WF - no issue with it.

Seems like 99% of the population plays dps so they don’t even realize there’s options out there.

it is not about the fact that those buffs are shared, but about the fact that all blessing shared with horde has a good bonus on rune outside the buff for the person using rune.

hunter 10% stats for themself on top of kings to all players in raid.BOS 20% ap to sham whom cast it on tank.

horn is useless as you would have to take a melles spot from Wf to buff melles(never used with ret, and only use is to buff hunter in range group as holy). horde borrowed totems have just the effect of totem without any boost and no further buff to player and on slots where it compete with good runes.

WF, tremor, str+agi totem….

Ferals could really get some more power on top of WF and have it switched with skull bash.
