I'm Not Who I Was
Decision Point
We're three weeks from prepatch and less than 60 days from Battle for Azeroth's launch. It's time to stop waffling and make a decision. I have the new main narrowed down to three: Hunter, Monk, or Shaman. I've debated the pros and cons, watched videos, and streams, and played each on Beta. First out I need to eliminate one and that's going to be the Shaman. Both DPS specs for Shaman are a bit of a mess right now. The developers did call out both specs as known trouble spots for them so there's hope the situation could improve. This is good news for the Shaman community, but I have to go on the information I have available today. I don't love playing the Shaman enough to make him my main in the hopes Enhancement and Elemental get addressed before launch, nor do I love him enough to put up with a subpar 8.0 experience in the hopes of better days in 8.1. Now, maybe the developers blow me away with the next build, and I can always change my mind later, but ...

Its a shame that the server is that lopsided.... "stay good honors... stay good" [said as kiki from sluggy freelance]
have fun
Going from Dwarf to Blood Elf is just so wrong!
Now I must hunt you down and slay you. Horde scum.
Another Blood Elf Paladin and Blogger, this will cause a Cataclysm. It wasn't Deathwing doing :)
This also brings up the issue of is faction change going to make unbalanced servers even worse? I'm curious because the guild I run on Elune (PvE) has had a horde "sister" guild for years, and only in the past year or so has it really started to get going. Our server is unbalanced in the other direction (Alliance outnumbers Horde by a good bit) but we have people starting to transfer 80s to our Horde. I can see this happening to Explorer/Achiever types of people, but it wasn't the direction of travel I expected.
Any thoughts?
After you catch your breath, you might have to update your sidebar, which says:
"Honorshammer, Level 80 Dwarf Paladin, Main"
I can understand changing factions though on a PVP server to get to the side so you don't have as many issues.
But it is still a sad sad day.
RIP Honorhammer, the best dwarf paladin I knew.
He said in a previous post that his guild, or at least his raid core, was going to transfer to Horde when faction transfers became available. And his preference was Guild/Crew over Toon, hence the transfer.
-Vad
/gratz!
Muhahah, you have come over to the dark side!
Now let's go kill some Dwarves... just kidding!
Tell us more about this change. Did the whole guild swap to horde? why?
Anyway, enjoy it!
For the Horde!
I'll still read your blog though! :)
Trust me you'll come to hate Garrosh just as much as you did when you were Alliance.
You will have to let us know what difference you all were seeking with a faction transfer when raiding was your only priority and doesn't seem to matter which faction you are on when it comes to raiding, unless you need more numbers. At least your Tier Gear will look more bad ass as horde, only thing i can say looks better is that they look more aggressive in their T9 than we do.
Alas it is a sad day, the light has lost a great ally to the darkside and now must be hunted with the rest of the Sith....er Horde lol:P
