Return of Reckoning

Blorcs with the the kd buff are now much closer in power to bgs

However ib because their such dam good tanks are are till miles ahead of sm


Blorcs only need 4 things

Some form of superpunt

A buff to WAAAGH to make it worth taking

Make rock ard affect your defensive target

A buff to da greenest

Maybe make you missed me proc on both block AND parry since blocs have a nice parry rate due to ws buffs

With these changes I think blorcs will be viable options as second grp tanks

Actually some form of anti superpunt would be sufficient.
Give us the leap!

Exactly what I think! BO doesnt need any huge buff just these things.
SMs may be a different story.

I played Chosen/BG last week. Man, i had forgotten how much better than BO they are. Since it seems we will never get the 1.4.9 changes in RoR, i already rerolled to BG.

Good luck to the remaining UP classes of WAR, but i am done playing them (AM, BO, Shaman, SM, Engie, Magus). After 5+ years of being gimped, it is time to play FOTG.

For once, I agree with you, lol. If you can't beat them, join them.

But I still think we should try and nerf what I like to call "the power-classes" (We all know who they are *cough* BOMBING *cough*), and then buff the underdog-classes, that never really shined in T4 on live. I really, really want to see some kind of variety in classes compared to live. I'll go nuts if I see another **** bomb squad with 1/3 WPs, 1/3 Knights, and 1/3 BWs...

I'm not rerolling.

WAAAGH!

By all means, stick to it. But having playing a sup-optimal class for 5 years, I can personally say, I cba to do it anymore. I played a Knight, and now I'm playing a Chosen. Was originally planning on maining a BO, but it just feels so cluncky with it's Plan/Stance mechanic (You can't even perma-snare an enemy for crying out loud!), and I honestly will wait for it to be buffed up in line with the rest of the tanks. Besides, I've tried the BO, now I want something a bit different, and Chosens are pretty badass, too

And just to make this a little more clear: I'm not a reroller. To put this into perspective, I've played an Elemental Shaman (Spell caster DPS) in WoW since vanilla (10 years), and been primarily focusing on PvP. For those of you who know about WoW PvP, will also know that if you play a Shaman, you pretty much have to be specced Resto (Healer) in order to be viable in serious PvP, like high ranked Arena. But I've stuck with it, and I've raged so ****ing much, whined and cried (Very sad story, I know lol). I've tried every single class in the game, but no matter what I played, I always came back to the Shaman. The spec that's maybe been viable in like 30% of WoW history. It has it's short moments of glory, but generally, it's just an awful spec, and no one takes serious. It's actually so obvious that there are insider jokes about them in the WoW community:

Me neither.

Though it saddens me to lose players like Razid and Penril to the FOTM classes ;(

Especially since they are both obviously very knowlegable about SM/BO and vocal on forums.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything wrong with rerolling.
Just that it's my choice to keep maining Black Orc. Sure, the FOTM classes will continue being FOTM for a while, but i'm confident that Az will nerf them in the future, after proper discussing has been made.

I haven't lost my faith yet. Blorc will get better...in due time, I guess.
