PVP - Can There Be Class Balance? (go back »)

Before Arena, was PVP and class balance a large issue."even better, maybe we'll get to see an as-yet-unknown reason why a Paladin of the Silver Hand, headstrong as he might have been, decided to slaughter an entire town even before he was under Frostmourne's corruption " I rather like both of the new pages. Has there always been a class that was considered over powered.Not only should the information be helpful (if sad) to any newbie wondering where they can get that awesome ghost wolf, but the pages were a nice walk down memory lane for this old hunter. When Blizz tried to make it a little less over powered did another seem to take it's place.I remember when I made first Tauren Hunter, I was always disappointed that Swoop wasn't an actual bird pet skill, and I was considering a pet crab for my Dwarf Hunter at one point, and would have loved to have a thorny pet to add a bit more damage and threat power for tanking. What about once Arena had been added.Crabs could probably use some love anyway, as they seem to be competing with the likes of Sporebats and Bears for most neglected pet family. Better or worse. In the meantime, she's also added a few new pages to the library, namely the Retired Pet page and the "Fake" Pet Skills page. wow lvl From a PVE stand point, were there many issues with class balance.The former deals with formerly tamable pets that can no longer be tamed, while the latter deals with pet skills that are present during the newbie hunter taming quests, but not on any permanently tamed pet. Was there a time when a single specific class was considered to be better than all others. But hopefully the Infinite Dragonflight storyline will be continued in some way -- mucking about in time isn't exactly safe, so there should be good reasons the Bronze Dragonflight sends us back to these past events.

I read many of the posts about issues people have with various aspects of the game.Watching history firsthand is fun and all, but the lore of the Bronze Dragons falls apart completely if they just start opening up theme parks in the past. wow power leveling Many stem from PVP but aren't a big deal.But anyway, if you're a Hunter, and you haven't checked out Petopia in a while, it's worth a look, there's some pretty cool stuff going on over there. I have noticed many involve Arena.egarding melee hunters.. Cases where a specific class will not stand much of a chance when fighting against another specific class.yes, the thought is laughable to most.Of course, we don't exactly know what's happening in the Stratholme of the past -- maybe the Infinite Dragonflight is causing problems there that we need to stop (or, even better, maybe we'll get to see an as-yet-unknown reason why a Paladin of the Silver Hand, headstrong as he might have been, decided to slaughter an entire town even before he was under Frostmourne's corruption -- maybe there's more to Arthas than we saw in Warcraft III). Ever quest platinum It looks like the larger the Arena team the less an issue it is. . Other players on the team can fill in for what that one class is lacking. Going over various posts, it looks like there have been situations where X vs Y didn't work at all so maybe blizzard made a change to make it more viable. wow europe The result was X vs Y now works but Y vs Z doesn't work. Another attempt at balance and now X vs Z doesn't work. There are also the side effects that ripple out to the PVE aspect of the game as well. gold in wow A player who was class X that never even did PVP so certainly never fought Y, now finds that something they used to be able to do has been removed or changed and hurt their play.

My examples were overly simplified for making my point but it does leave me to wonder, can there be balance. Players are always adapting.
