Ding! (Grats!) Posts: 47 Joined: 5 Nov 2006 | Same here. Posting too. Overpowered means "not countered". There is damage vs control confrontation in almost every PRG game. And by control I mean crowd control. Without one the game would be just a DPS race. If your DPS is higher you win. Crowd control is hard to balance. Let's take for example 5-second stun. In the hands of the palladin this stun in ok because palladin just can't bring you down withing 5 seconds. In the hands of rogue stuns are deadly. In the perfect world pure DPS classes will always lose to pure contol classes. If you're crowdcontolled you just can't do your magnificent damage at all. In the World of Warcraft every class have some sort of CC abilities and counters. It's now wise to give a single class all the counters. Have your ever seen mage vs mage mirror duel? It's a counterspell/polymorph war. Basically if you time your counterspell right you'll win. So if every class would have counter to every CC the game would become "press your counter first" kind of game againts every class. (I can counter you, you can counter me. Spotted a rogue? Press "anti-rogue" button before he pressed his "anti-warlock" one.) That's why CC is different and every class can counter only some sorts of CC. That's why "this game is not balanced for 1vs1 PvP". Basically it means that if your enemy can CC you better than you can CC him, he's "overpowered" against you. For example, frost mage destory melee classes not because of his uber DPS but because of kitting. (Have you ever seen "rank 1 frostbolt vs rank 14 warrior" movie?). So what's the most overpowered class then? The most overpowered class is the class that has the most uncounterable CC against most classes. You name the one you like. In so-called "mass PVP" every CC can be (and should be) countered/dispelled/prevented by your party member. Just stop making mass PvP unorganized DPS race and you'll be fine. Overpowered just means "not countered". It does not mean your enemy has more "power" that you. You just can't counter his abilities and it makes you feel helpless and powerless. Play smart (yes, shadow reflectors do count). Play as a team. Learn every class. Reroll warlock. (Kidding) PS. I'm not gonna name The overpowered class. The is none. Some classes are just favor of the month and nothing more. PSS. Here's some essay about class balance in WoW I wrote: http://spectator.ru/technology/software/games/WoW |

Cry... well. i gotta at least post it :(
The most overpowered class in the game is the female Night Elf rogue. Clearly no other class in the game can match her moves on top of any available platform.
Her ability to memorize any unsuspecting pubescent WOW player makes her the most powerful being in all of Azeroth. Blizzard has not included any resistance gear that will make you less susceptible to her siren call. Blizzard compounds the issue by making her even more powerful by cladding her in dark, tight, leather.
Itâ™s even worse when they travel in packs. The only thing worse then a dancing night elf rogue, is multiple dancing night elf rogues; dancing together.
Fixes:
1: Make a set of resistance gear that will allow players to resist her taunts.
I would start with an engineering schematic for a type of welding helm. The helm would need to automatically go opaque as soon as a female night elf rogue pops into sight. Of course, being gnome engineering, it would have a chance to fail. So, it wouldnâ™t be over powered.
Or, perhaps, A new set of boots that automatically turn 180 degrees away from a dancing night elf rogue and run at high speed toward the nearest cliff to where you can comfortably jump.
2: Give all classes a special version of the mage polymorph spell that would only work on female Night Elf rogues. This spell would render the night elf in a polymorphed state that looks surprisingly like Barbra Streisand. The spell would last long enough for you to flee the area before you are rendered unconscious.
3: Make a new set of cloths for the female night elf rogue that are less appealing. Their armor models need to change as follows:
The first object would be the leather moo moo. A rectangular cloth of leather with crude stitching that that is normally worn by a morbidly obese persons.
Any kind of leather pants that look more like a G-string then armor needs to be remade into a flowery frock that resembles something that grandma Clampet would wear.
Its sad, but there are certain players that have a fetish for feet. Just the sight of a female night elf foot would be enough to make some unsuspecting traveler unresponsive for a week. Changing the female night elf boot model to resemble something more along the lines of Herman Munster.
In conclusion, something needs to be done to nerf the female night elf rogues from taking over the World of Warcraft. Clearly they are the most over powerful class in the game. Something has to be done.
