Undead being Undead

Post by Sylveria » Tue Mar 28, 2023 7:51 am

I'd like to invite you to a little mind game (more than a real suggestion):

What if: Undead players would be considered as Undead again? (They used to be in WoW Alpha)

Pro/Con:
- Undead Players are attackable by Exorcism, Holy Wrath, Turn Undead, Shackle Undead
- Undead Players would be immune to Polymorph, Fear, Psychic Scream(?), Intimidation Shout(?)

Anything else i haven't considered? Your thoughts?

(I'm looking at it from an Rp-PvP-Angle, than real Balancing.)

I think such a change is way to polarizing for the way classic 1.12 differs from alpha.

A passive fear/poly immunity massively changes how certain encounters can be played. It trivializes bosses such as Nefarian or Gluth if the tank is passively immune to fear.
Its also extremely polarizing for PvP, as paladins are already strong as is. Giving them more burst against undead players would for sure be pushing the Winrate even further into alliances favor. While the Undead only get stronger against Warlocks

RP-wise i think it would make sense, but imho it is way to impactful for race choice. Especially considering Paladin is right there to REALLY ruin your day if you ever step into PvP

Passive inmunity to fear/poly is insanely op in pvp. This is why they removed it from Alpha

Hmmmm I wonder if undead could be classified as undead, except for battlegrounds. Cause like in wpvp who cares, its cool flavor, wpvp is never competitive. The only concerns are ever for arenas and bgs.
Zaas - 60 High Elf Warrior
Saere - 60 Night Elf Priest
Splendra - 59 Inferno Mode Warlock
I play a few other classes on my friends' accounts.
Slowly leveling a Resto Dryad and a dorf pally with my buddy.

I can imagine, why undead imunne to fear, but what is the reason to immune polymorph? This magic spell untouch your dead brain, it change your body.

I think we can all guess what class you play.

IMHO this post sounds like a paladin crying for more power in PvP which is a sick joke.
