Roderick, of the Mal’Ganis Server estimates, “I’d guess I know maybe ten girl players on this server.” Roderick ran a guild of over 200 people, that’s a staggeringly low percentage. With that sort of male saturation, girl gamers can have a tough time breaking into the “boys club” that exists beneath the surface. The male population of the any online community, wow gold included, is highly competitive, and the general feeling in an aggressive activity is that girls cannot perform on the same level as boys. On the virtual battlefield its far from true, but girl gamers are still considered underdogs and have to prove themselves worthy. They may come under harder scrutiny simply because they are female. Because of the disposition some of the guys have on women gamers; some girls actively try to hide their gender. This isn’t hard, since according to Cezzani of Mal’Ganis, “Ninety percent of female characters are played by ten percent of the guys.” Whether or not those figures are close to accurate, the point remains the same. There are enough girl characters running around wow gold that a real female can hide her gender simply by not admitting to it. Those that hide their gender do it for a reason, to avoid the stereotypes and sexual harassment. It may be due to the age or maturity of the individual talking to the girl gamer, or perhaps because there are seemingly no repercussions in an online community where you can log off and not have to deal with the consequences. WOW has a strict policy against any sort of threatening or hurtful communications that removes the anonymity from it. In severe cases Blizzard will revoke the players account, taking away their character and possessions. But the same problems that exist in the real world exist in the virtual world. Many of the women who go through the torture of this abuse will never report it.

While it doesn’t discourage ‘ganking,’ killing a player much lower in level than the attacker, it provides purpose to fighting the opposing faction. At the core of every good video game is a high quality user interface. It’s the way the player interacts with the game environment. WOW provided a fine interface at the start, but as the game progressed, it became clear certain things were lacking. Thankfully, Blizzard supported Custom User Interfaces by allowing ‘add-ons’ to be incorporated easily into their game. Using these custom interfaces, players can get exactly what they need out of the game to play to the maximum efficiency. The best of the interfaces have been incorporated into WOW’s base user interface. Blizzard does a lot to make sure their games are of the highest quality when they are released. After a full year of beta testing, wow gold was a much better game than when it started. Though at that time, the game was not perfect, and perhaps not quite ready for retail. Over the last year, the game has made leaps and bounds to become the best massively multiplayer online game on the market. With a larger test group, and user input, Blizzard has been able to shape WOW into the game it should have been on release.

On release, there were a lot of mistakes, a lot of imbalances and a lack of high end content. Since then, Blizzard has fixed many of its issues, and added enough content to keep the hardcore gamers interested, for now. The first month that blizzard had the game live was sketchy at best. The realm servers were constantly being taken down for maintenance. The player base was upset with the state of the game. Problems will be inherent in an undertaking as large as WOW. To those on the affected servers, the response time from Blizzard was abysmal. Some servers were down for days. Blizzard made amends by giving free play time to the players with characters on those servers. Since then, blizzard has picked up their service, and the only significant time the servers have problems is the day or so that a new patch comes out. The raid content of the game on release was limited to The Molten Core and Onyxia. For the first three months that was plenty, the most avid wow gold players were still busy leveling and getting good gear from the high level five man instances. The top guilds, however, would have these encounters mastered in short order once they got into them. After two months of raiding nothing but these encounters they became tedious. Many players lacking faith in Blizzard grew bored with the game. Blackwing Lair was released a few months ago, and has proven to be a sufficient challenge. Ahn’Qiraj was just released. Those finished with Blackwing Lair will be looking forward to the new challenges it presents. As long as Blizzard can keep up with the progression of best raiding group, no player can complain about lack of activity at level 60.

They will accept kindness, and will often times be friendly, but that is no indication that they are less of a gamer than anyone else who plays in a virtual world like WOW.

When Ragnaros retreats, he spawns 8 small fire elementals to attack the raid party. They don’t do much damage to melee fighters, but they do have a nasty aura effect seen elsewhere in wow gold that steals magic users mana, and damages them for it. Each warrior in the group, ideally four to five, should try to grab and hold two Sons. Healers need to keep the warriors alive, so they can hold them while the rest of the group takes out the Sons one by one. Ragnaros returns to the playing field after a minute and a half or when all sons are dead. It is a good idea to have a Warlock banish one of the sons, giving everyone a moment to get back into position before Ragnaros returns. Hopefully in the transition between stage 1 and stage 2, many of the players survived. If too many died during either stage, the remaining portion of the Ragnaros fight becomes exponentially harder. When Ragnaros pops back up, it’s the same fight as stage 1. If the group was abe to get Ragnaros down to about 40% before he sank back into the lava, chances are they can do the remaining damage within 3 minutes. When Ragnaros dies, prepare for a lot of congratulations, great loot and look forward to a long raiding career in WOW. To the dismay of much of the population of WOW, and the online community, girls do play video games. What makes a girl play a game online? Are they looking to pick up boys? Are they so socially inept that they can’t talk to anyone in the real world? Are they just plain ugly? Or are they really just a guy pretending to be a girl? None of these things are true. They play the game for the same reason everyone plays. They play for entertainment. Though women in the real life are striving for equality in a male dominated world, and arguably making progress, the ladies playing online games have a much harder task in front of them. The exact ratio of female players to male players in wow gold is not known, but it is a far lower number than in the real world. Roderick, of the Mal’Ganis Server estimates, “I’d guess I know maybe ten girl players on this server.” Roderick ran a guild of over 200 people, that’s a staggeringly low percentage.

In Ancient times, he fought in the name of the Old Gods against the Titans. Eventually, his power was sealed into the Molten Core. When a dwarf unlocked the bindings holding Ragnaros captive, Ragnaros began to create an army of living stone. The Molten Core is the easiest of the raid instances Blizzard has provided its maximum level player, but is by no means a push over. The key to many of the boss encounters in Molten Core is teamwork and cooperation. Getting forty players all on the same page in regards to who does what and when, can be a taxing task. It is essential during the Ragnaros fight that everyone is playing to their top game. If one player fails at their role, the entire raid can crumble. The fight doesn’t start until a player, usually the main tank, talks with Majordomo Executus, the boss right before Ragnaros. This allows the leaders to talk about the strategies they will use, and placement of the group. The room is huge, after all, it is the domain of a fire god. There are rock outcroppings sporadically placed along the edge of a spiraling land mass surrounded by lava. As the spiral pulls towards the center, where Ragnaros will eventually be, it becomes very thin. The main tank and off tank both stand fairly close to each other at the tip of the spiral. The melee group positions itself further back on the spiral, near the last outcropping before the spiral begins to tighten. The ranged damage players spread out over the rest of the board, within range of the soon-to be target. The healers assigned to each group get close enough to heal their players. All players prepare for one of the most awe inspiring moments in wow gold . The Ragnaros encounter has two stages that will repeat. The first stage is an all out brawl where Ragnaros will take as much damage as you can dish out. In this stage Ragnaros has a couple of attacks in his retinue. The Wrath of Ragnaros is signaled by speech and text saying, “Taste the Flames of Sulfuron.” This attack knocks back all players within melee range, potentially throwing them into the lava and out of the fight. All melee except the main tank back out before wrath occurs. Ragnaros will use wrath every 25 seconds. It can be resisted, so having the main tank in fire resistance gear is mandatory, and melee damage suggested. If the main tank resists wrath, the melee fighters can run right back in and join the fight. If the main tank is thrown, the off tank runs in and picks up Ragnaros, and the melee group gives him a few seconds to gather more threat. Ragnaros also throws a fire ball at ranged fighters, damaging then, and knocking everyone around them into the air. This attack does not affect the person it is casted on, but those around him, thus why the ranged units must be properly spread out. This first stage lasts for 3 minutes. If the group hopes to take down this powerhouse of WOW, he needs to be at or below 40% life at the end of 3 minutes.

A portion of the game is attaining the maximum level; level 60 in WOW. Only the people who have achieved this feat can possibly hope to have any influence. At maximum level, one would think there’s not much left to do in the game, after all, there is no more improvement that the character can strive for. With the Player versus Player (PvP) ranking system, and “end game” content, that’s hardly the truth. Through the PvP system WOW has put in place, players may view their characters rating against all others that they play with. The PvP system rewards player for each enemy player they slay. The more foes killed, the higher the rating. Players are ranked on quantity rather than quality, meaning the players with the most time to dedicate to the game get the highest rank and reward. The “end game” content is mainly made up of raid instances, challenging dungeons and content that requires a group of forty people to coordinate and spend six to eight hours a night to complete a dungeon. There are currently three such instances in the game, meaning a raid group who wants to do all three, as they often do, would have to dedicate a minimum of three nights of eight hours to just those instances. That’s the equivalent of a part time job playing WOW. The players gain nothing tangible for their time, but their characters have a chance to get some new armor or a new weapon for the time spent. The majority of the subscribers to wow gold are not these same video game junkies that would kill for their online world. Just like classic pen and paper role playing games, most of the players know the clear cut line between fantasy and reality. The amount of time needed to dedicate to a WOW game just to stay on top of the curve is more than any casual gamer has. The competitive nature of video gamers push many of them to spend more time than they can afford to have the most powerful character possible. Plenty of college students have failed out of college because of the downward spiral that wow gold addiction can cause. Once a student gets behind in a class, they can become depressed. WOW can be a good way to take your mind off the problem. A planned hour of play can easily turn into three or four. Soon, the once small problem of turning a project in late becomes test material left unstudied Tags: wow gold , world of warcraft gold References: http://wowgoldshopping.tooum.net/ ,http://wowgoldshopping.weebly.com/index.html http://wowglodshopping.blog.com/ , http://wowgoldshopping.blogr.com/ POSTED BY wow gold shopping AT 11/21/2008 1:14 AM  |  0 COMMENTS  |  POST A COMMENT  |  DIGG IT from WOW The gear is in place, the talent build is good, but the most important thing to tank effectively is the skill. Its not hard to tank. It just takes knowledge. Sunder Armor is the staple of every tanks retinue. It is the most efficient way to gather rage early in a fight, and it makes the enemy easier to kill by lowering its armor rating. Another ability widely used is Heroic Strike. Some tanks use these two abilities and they manage to control the monster. In a prolonged fight, this will not be enough. There are three abilities other than sunder armor that allow the tank to gain as much agro as possible. Shield block, while not an threat generating ability in itself, it guarantees a block, which in turn allows the tank to use the Revenge ability. Revenge is the lowest cost and highest threat generating ability in the game. Finally, Shield Bash, a high threat producing ability used primarily to stop a spell wow gold from casting can be used liberally on non-magical foes to generate high amounts of threat. Each of these abilities should be used when they are cooled down and available. Once the basics of tanking are understood, each individual player can add their own flavor to the game and improve on their own abilities. There have been many horror stories lately, some true, some fiction about players of wow gold . The stories have a wide range, a kid leaping from a building claiming to be reenacting a spell from WOW, parents not feeding their children for days due to their in-game needs, to a real life stabbing over a virtual theft. After playing the games online for a while, it is evident that some people will inevitably take the virtual world too seriously. It’s a game, meant for fun. There are plenty of casual players, but some take things too personally or too seriously. That’s when it begins to borderline on addiction, and becomes dangerous. In an America where everyone is becoming more enlightened and in touch with themselves, there seem to be twelve step programs to help contain the addictions of every sort. Now the kids who grew up playing video games are growing older, and still playing them. Video games are a form of entertainment, a method to escape from the toil of every day life no different than television. WOW offers its players a chance to adventure in a virtual world that many of their customers are familiar with from the Warcraft franchise.

If the goal is to play the higher intensity raid instances, a lot of time will be spent gathering up the equipment. For a tank, there are three main things to look at while gathering gear: Stamina, Armor Rating, and Defense. Stamina gives the character ten hit points per point. That may not seem like a lot, but just like pennies in a piggy back, it starts adding up. Armor Rating lowers the incoming damage percentage. Defense ups the skill of the same name, and lowers the chance that enemies will critically hit the tank by a percentage point for every twenty five points of defense. Thankfully, wow gold offers many different dungeons to crawl in order to gather equipment with all of these perks. On epic pieces of armor, players will find bonuses to blocking skill or dodge percentages, and those are nice too, but those will only come after time spent tanking. There will be a long time when the characters will be relying on uncommon and rare equipment that is much easier to obtain. Of the 51 talent points wow gold offers its players, eighteen of those should be dedicated to the protection tree. For a tank to excel at his job, it is in his best interest to send points on the talents Defiance, Toughness and Last Stand. Neither five point talent on the first tier of talents a warrior can access truly outdoes the other, one raises the chance to block with a shield, the other raises the characters natural defense. Both are good options, yet not required for optimum tanking. On the second tier, five points in Toughness gives you ten percent more armor contribution, and at the high armor ratings a warrior can achieve this talent can decrease all incoming damage by up to five percent. Also on tier two is the Improved Bloodrage talent. This two point talent is useful, but not required to tank. It is required to gain access to the tier three talent Last Stand. Last stand increases the warriors current and maximum hit points by thirty percent for twenty seconds, great for the times when that heal is coming just a second too late. Lastly, the Defiance talent raises the threat generated by the warrior by fifteen percent. Without all these talents, the warrior is not able to tank to the best of the class’s ability.

While there are a handful of classes in WOW that have the capability to tank, the Warrior stands above them all with more talents, abilities and equipment geared for the role. In a group setting, if the warrior dies first, they died knowing they did their job to the best of their abilities. Some players are better at holding the agro from the monsters than others, but it’s a common adage that effective tanking is 10% gear, 10% talent build and 80% skill. A large part of effective tanking is outside the hands of the warrior. One common fallacy held by the players of wow gold is that if a tank loses control of a monster, he’s a bad tank. While this very well could be true, the case could actually be quite the opposite. There is a limited number of things a Warrior can do to generate threat on a creature. Assuming that the skill, talents build are in place and the gear collected, he can build a lot of threat. There is an upper limit to the threat obtainable. When a character is assigned to tank, he will not be generating the majority of his threat from dealing damage to a target. Outside of the Warrior class, dealing damage is the best way to increase threat on a monster. Over a period of time, the threat from damage caused by another character can overcome the threat generated by the tank. In such a situation, as long as the warrior was using all his abilities to their maximum effectiveness, there’s nothing else he could have done to keep the focus of the enemy. A party who knows this, and can manage their own threat makes the tanks life that much easier. At lower levels, the group tends to blame the tank if he loses control of the wow gold In the end game forty man instances, the smart groups tend to blame the player who pulled the target for not managing his own threat.

Miyu is in every way responsible for my knowledge and success. In Summer wow gold 2005, I had never once picked up a shield; instead, I was working on storyline movies and swinging my Arcanite Reaper at Tarren Mill and Southshore battles. I did not know what tanking was. I had not been in any instance since Maraudon. Miyu contacted me regarding the movies; she detailed some things I could do with Adobe Premiere, and I learned a significant amount about technical editing from her. As we gained a friendship, she talked about how much she enjoyed tanking, and what the new content in Blackwing was bringing -- this sparked me to start asking questions. What was tanking? What was raid tanking? Miyu became my sensei, so to speak. She taught me everything. I learned from her before I ever developed my own style. All of the Heroic Strike information in Miles to Go and Hold the Line? Miyu taught me that. All of the weapon recommendations, all of the Threat layouts, all of the stat allocations from Miles to Go? Miyu taught me that. Two days after Miyu gave me an extensive list of gear to get, I had farmed every single piece from Dire Maul and Upper Blackrock Spire and talked with her again. I wanted to apply to Dawn Eternal and leave my casual guild, Eventide, behind. This is where Mirarain comes in. This is the other great Warrior and woman responsible for my success. Her and I were close friends already and I considered her an excellent tank. I confided in her that I was applying to Dawn Eternal. She challenged me -- What are your goals? Through talking to her, standing atop a perch deep inside Blackrock wow gold Mountain, she helped me realize my goal. I was to become a main tank myself, to lead a guild, not simply follow the lead of another. Mirarain convinced me to begin raiding -- to actually do it -- with Eventide. We joined another guild on their raids, Legacy Reborn, for two weeks before I fell so in love with raiding that we broke off and began our own raids and our spectacularly successful guild. Miyu and Mirarain were hugely influential to myself. They were both amazing Warriors, both very talented, and both among the best teachers a person can have in life. Katanaa Katanaa impressed me for her tanking through PUG runs, as well as her breadth of knowledge in discussions I had with her. She is a talented tank for a top-200 guild, hopefully the Main Tank at this point. There's not a whole lot I can say regarding our conversations; however, I cannot make a post about impressive female Warriors without including her.

Some wow gold Guys become attached to women to the point that they can't handle the inevitable rejection. They feel so ashamed by the whole ordeal that they feel the whole guild is looking down on them, when frankly, no one really cares. The woman, thoroughly disgusted, often acts completely blameless in the situation -- "but I didn't know when I sent him those dirty tells that he might take it the wrong way!" As if this wasn't bad enough, there is a tendency among some women to try and flirt their way through the top. This is terrible because it tarnishes the legitimate business and personal relationships between leadership and other players. I'm not going to say that we should have all-male guilds, and you'll realize this as you read farther. However, most raid guild leaders have thought it at some point. Nihilum even has a joking No Girls Allowed policy due to past drama. The Right Stuff -- Profiles of Great Women My wow gold guild was unique in that we had a lot of strong women from the very start. We had strong women in the guild in every kill from Lucifron to Kel'Thuzad, with all content in between. We recruited well and, while we made plenty of mistakes, we came out on top. I'm going to name a large number of women who have impressed me. I was not on the best of personal terms with many of them, but it would be dishonest for me to not show respect for their work. These are strictly women I have raided with or have influenced me directly; this allows me to vouch for their player skill.

Cliques are terrible things for an organization, where a small group of people acts totally independently of the guild for a long period of time, while simultaneously taking gear or loot from the guild. If you offend one person in the clique for any reason, no matter how rational or irrational, the others will leave the wow gold guild immediately. Further, the separation that they build makes them feel distant from the guild, and allows them to reinforce any bad feelings they have with each other. It's a quick, vitriolic spiral downwards that usually builds from unfounded gossip. This is what happens with many couples. Though this can happen with either the guy or the girl in the relationship, often the guy will leave with the belief that he might actually get laid by this woman. Yeah, right. This is compounded by the fact that -- from a management perspective -- it becomes impossible to address very serious issues in wow gold gameplay with one person without running the risk of losing the other. You lose the ability to say, "your DPS isn't up to par with the others in your class," because that will often be quickly countered by the significant other in private tells, "how dare he single you out, when that other player is performing so badly!" Another issue that stems from coupling and from established relationships is a difficulty in picking good leaders to advance in the guild. Three times in our guild we had major issues stemming from players who demanded their significant others have full access to Officer chat. This made us very uncomfortable, as we were unable to talk openly about many player issues. This, in turn, led to another wow gold problem -- one woman logged in her husband's Forum account, saw a criticism in a business-style memo where we listed DPS issues from our casters, and promptly began sulking and lashing out at us. Posts we thought were entirely private began funneling out to other members. Until we asked all three couples to leave the guild we could not use either Officer chat or our private Officer forums. This had left many of our Officers feeling devalued because there was not a clear communication between them and myself.

Blizzard doesn't occur during a Flame Wreath, after all! Disregarding the fact that the woman had already pointed this out exactly, and disregarding he was repeating it verbatim, he took credit and the others listened to him. Some wow gold women may lack confidence or be afraid to make mistakes as a result of those sexist overtones. They, like everyone, want to be seen as equals, and be recognized based on merit. However, to become great players, all players must first make mistakes, and have friends and guild members who understand that those are mistakes everyone goes through, not mistakes caused by being women. If you disagree with the above inequalities, you will probably disagree with the entirety of the following post. Guild Leader's Perspective Many wow gold women -- certainly not all -- either knowingly or unknowingly inject a large amount of drama into a guild. More often than not, bringing in a new, single female player is a gamble that winds up costing more than it gains. Let's take the best of the bad scenarios. There is some mutual attraction or legitimate relationship built between a current member and the new female player. This can help the guild in the short-term because both players are working together to help gear each other up, farm gold, and perform other necessary functions; their effort always produces more than the sum of their individual efforts would have.

Here are my premises: Women are often not taken as seriously as men; Women are often not considered as good as men; Women are often seen as sex objects, even in a cohesive guild; Women have to work harder than men to be accepted and viewed as equals. All of this is amplified by the anonymous nature of the Internet. For being the progressive, forward-looking future of our world, there is some irony at how rampant racism and sexism are by comparison to the 'real world. In an early Karazhan raid our wow gold guild completed shortly after the release of Burning Crusade, one very pronounced example of these stereotypes came up. One of the women in our guild, a Harvard student, quickly and correctly identified the Flame Wreath mechanic on the Shade of Aran. Don't move during Flame Wreath. She followed it up by noting that the Blizzard could not occur during a Flame Wreath -- another necessary observation for our guild, given we were doing this long before any guides were written. She was completely dismissed. Instead, two of our DPS classes began having a shouting match with each other about the mechanic, not listening at all to the women. This led to confusion once we entered Aran's room, as the DPS'ers refused to follow the actual approach we were going with -- hers -- and wiped the raid.

That's fine, I'm not here to change your beliefs. I would suggest, though, that guys are all pretty well the same. We all want to have children. Biologically, our body is not designed for ourselves, but for the next generation. If you doubt this, imagine the pain difference between getting punched in the shoulder and getting kicked in the primal nethers (or, for some of you, the motes). In other words, the point of gender separation is not about keeping us pious, but keeping us focused. Now let's put this in the realm of wow gold . In a raiding guild, an organization of dozens upon dozens of men, adding women into the mix causes certain reactions. Especially if she's single. Especially if she's talkative and has a nice voice. Especially if she's posted an attractive picture or video of herself. They, like everyone, want to be seen as equals, and be recognized based on merit. However, to become great players, all players must first make mistakes, and have friends and guild members who understand that those are mistakes everyone goes through, not mistakes caused by being women. If you disagree with the above inequalities, you will probably disagree with the entirety of the following post. For most men this produces no reaction either way. They are either married, dating, or simply level-headed enough to realize it's a worthless pursuit. If there is some attraction at any point, they carry themselves in a non-creepy way and keep private life out of guild wow gold However, the issues never rise from most-men, they rise from the lowest common denominator -- the guy who starts stalking this particular woman, or gets in a relationship that causes guild drama, or reacts irrationally elsewhere. Sometimes this moves to the point of multiple GM tickets, server transfers, and even phone number changes.

So are a lot of women. As you read through the following article you may have a gut reaction to either wholeheartedly agree or wholeheartedly disagree; I would hope that -- in either case -- you catch the nuance of my arguments. This is a gender issue that deals with problematic relationships in raiding guilds; as such, the article does not give as much credit as it should to the genuine friendships and solid couples that are the foundation of many guilds. Understand I do not intend for extremity. You will find that I clarify twice that there is no realistic difference between men and women in gaming. I do not want to reinforce any view or tone that suggests this; as such, it becomes difficult to expand on the genuinely good aspects of both men and women and the non-gender issues that arise for everyone due to the context of this article. Bit of background. I grew up Mormon; this meant I was raised in a semi-segregated setting, as many other large church organizations are. There was a Young Men's and Young Women's wow gold organization. While Sunday School was mutual, many of our other activities and weeknight get-togethers were based on age group and sex. In Boy Scouts, I would often head on long hikes where we'd head out, play Capture the Flag, fire slingshots at coyotes (this was a bad idea looking back at it), and generally handle all of the mischief that boys do. Through one 50-mile hike, we struggled together, and five of us nearly died on a glacier dropoff (which also marked the first and only time I've heard a Bishop swear). The Girl Scouts in our ward were also going on hikes and other activities -- but not with us. As I moved from this period of my life and graduated High School, I enlisted with the US Marine Corps -- which was so heavily segregated between men and women that women were only trained on the other side of the nation. The only woman I saw during boot camp was a female Drill Instructor (scared the heck out of me).

Oh, man, where to start... Ok, how about the simple answer. NO! Ok, now the complicated wow gold explanation. I'm not a proponent of similarity. I do like balance, but to me that does not need to mean that both sides have the same abilities. A prime example was the Paladin / Shaman split pre-Burning Crusade. Each side had their own abilities that was separate and unique to them, yet they were fairy well balanced, each bringing something unique to the table. While I understand Blizzard's reasons for allowing both factions both classes (balance issues around encounters), I still don't agree with or like the idea. This is the same with fear ward, I understand why, I just don't like the solution. For a change, there was an amazingly clear, insightful and witty comment in the official forums on this topic, and yes Hell must have frozen over. A player named Scooperman made the following comment, that I agree with whole heartedly: Hey, let's just make everything the same! I love this trend Blizzard, keep it up. Soon I'll be able to MS on my mage for 2k while dual wielding and shooting my bow. Also, I'll keep enemy pets banished and healers feared while I frost nova all the melee classes right before I bubble and hellfire. GG In case you can't tell, he's being sarcastic. Blizzard is known for the amazing balancing act they do with characters, classes and races in all their wow gold games. I just don't understand why in this and a few other cases they have chosen to take the easy way out, rather than finding some way to continue to have something that allows each faction to play in a distinctive and different way. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer things to be different. I am all for faction specific classes and abilities. I am all for forcing different strategies on different factions. If over time an imbalance appears, I am all for finding a way to fix it. I just don't believe that watering down the difference between the two factions is the best way to accomplish that. I've had my say, now you can have yours. What do you think? Should a class have the same abilities regardless of races or faction, or should there be some distinction? Tell us your opinion by visiting the forums and posting!

Honestly, I can't say it was any harder or easier with either faction. Sure they are different and played significantly different (until the cross faction pally / shaman release with the Burning Crusade), but we got through each encounter given time and skill. The presence or lack of fear ward, never made or broke a fight. Alliance guilds have generally been the first to complete any new encounter in WoW, however generally not that far ahead of the Horde. This I believe has much more to do with the Alliance having a much larger population to draw from than anything else. After all if one team at a race can enter 30 cars and the other only 10, which is more likely to have the winning car? A prime example was the Paladin / Shaman split pre-Burning Crusade. Each side had their own abilities that was separate and unique to them, yet they were fairy well balanced, each bringing something unique to the table. While I understand Blizzard's reasons for allowing both factions both classes (balance issues around encounters), I still don't agree with or like the idea.

Also, I'll keep enemy pets banished and healers feared while I frost nova all the melee classes right before I bubble and hellfire. GG In PvP, I can see a huge advantage to ignoring a fear, however it is just one of many ways to ignore, get out of or cancel a fear. There are many others. While I have never been a PvP fan, and rarely play PvP (the rare exception being on my undead priest), if fear ward was such an imbalance, why do the Horde own the battlegrounds on most servers? Surely such an overpowering ability for the Alliance would allow them to completely dominate the lowly horde. Yet, for some reason the opposite happens.

Word came down from Blizzard at this years BlizzCon that all the Horde would be getting fear ward at some point. While no real specifics where given, there was a strong implication that all priests would be getting the ability. This has been discussed over and over again on the official forums and it seems there is some truth to it, as mentioned by "blue" in the European forums and discussed here in the North American forums. The questions now are: how good is it really, and should everyone get it? Plucked straight from the ongoing discussion on the official forums, I take on this hot topic. Since the beginning of time, hmm, ok, since wow gold 's launch, there has been disharmony among men (and women) who play priests. The problem has been the inclusion of several "racial talents" and the perceived lack of balance between them. Some are very good, some are down right useless. The most controversial though has always been the dwarf Fear Ward ability. Fear Ward, for those who may not know, is a spell that puts a buff on the target that allows them to ignore the next fear causing effect. Once you have been feared, the buff is used up and must be recast on you. The buff lasts 10 minutes and the spell has a 30 second cooldown. This means that in most cases it can prevent most wow gold PvE fears. It is also very useful in PvP where it can be used to ignore the fears cast by many opponents. Players very quickly learned what an advantage this was in Raids and PvP encounters that many players rolled Dwarf priests just for the ability. Many times despising the dwarf race completely, but wanting the ability and its perceived strengths and advantages. The dwarf being an Alliance race, led to the belief that the Alliance had a huge advantage in both Raids and PVP.
