Undead is Where It's At

[Twystyd]

I think one difference is the servers we play on. You just dont get too many Paly on the PvP server. They are very rare. Almost as rare as Druids. Good feedback Sirion and no my comments were to everyone reading the thread. I'll just rolled an undead grp with some friends. Well see what the changes are soon ~

btw hunters and druids get track humanoids also correct? so wouldn't both teams be able to run circle jerks around each other?

[Sirion]

afaik undead cant be either hunters or druids

[Sirion]

and you are right, there could be a vast difference in the number of pallys on the pvp server vs the beta server (although we still do have pvp nightly more like in daoc where you can participate if you want to) but im not sure thats how it will be for release. if it becomes apparant that alot of people are playing undead for release (which it probably will be since they are the coolest horde race by far imo) the equally skilled groups as yours (and i know you guys play good just from playing daoc with you, so read this as good groups) will almost always have a pally with them because almost always a horde group will have at least one undead person in it.

the primary concern would really be that if both your priests got shackled and your mage or warrior got turned, you are going to be down a person almost instantly with exorcism + smites + warrior on your warlock... but anyways, tell me how it goes because i would be interested to know.

exorcism is a dot type spell isn;t it? and can't a priest get a spell that ups there holy defense in the later lvl's wouldn't that basiclly make them neutral to holy?



guess it is going to take a good bit of time to find all strengths and weaknesses of all classes



lat day of stress test i beat a 20 pally on my 18 undead priest i damage didn't seem much higher than a normal melee would do and i beat him


i think a mixed group would actually be best but have a few undead and a few others

"the primary concern would really be that if both your priests got shackled and your mage or warrior got turned,"

Agreed but any 5 man team could be CCed. Group composition at this point was not my concern as much as racial advantages for horde. Classes will be balanced and added to every push I would imagine (ie talents, nerfs etc.). The main reason to take a 2nd priest IMO is to be able to remove effects off the other one and vice versa. Otherwise bring a second mage to 4 shot everything that moves. I do not put great stock in armor type or tracking at this time.

FYI, there is a chance they will be tweeking races a bit as well.
