Which faction will you choose?(PvP perspective)

[That Druid 6]

We have 10 more days and it's time to decide which faction to choose. I think I'm not the only one who is concerned about Horde/Alliance ratio pvp wise. I always join the weaker side to keep game interesting so here comes the poll. Why do you choose one faction over another and why there should be more pvp forces on one of those sides than it's intended to be?

Gnomish Mage for PvP, for only they qualify as Magnificant Lil' Bastards.

I chose nothing. I was born and this is what I am.

Alliance, warrior. My former guild will go on to play for the Alliance and, overall, a lot of other well-known guilds from Nosta/Kronos too and I want to play with my friends. A simple. Over the years in the game I noticed that the Alliance has a little better in PvE and PvP page was worse, but PvP for the "blue" always enjoyed more.​

Yeah, Alliance racials are a BIT better in PvE, and Horde racials are a BIT better in PvP, but it's very balanced in Vanilla.

For example, a Dwarf is as effective against Rogues as an Orc, and Gnomes are often more annoying than Undead in PvP. At the same time, an Orc melee can be as good as a Human melee, and Cows make slightly better tanks than Hippies.

Hah, that's funny. Keep denying the supremacy of the gnome race.

Well, not only from the poll but also from experience I think it's safe to say that we can expect more PvP forces on Horde side. By looking at Valkyrie's General PvP-standing we can see 164k alliance characters and 151k horde characters which makes 52/48 (Alliance/Horde) ratio. If population of Valkyrie is going to be a big part of Elysium population I believe it can lead to more balanced PvP with a lesser bg waiting time for Horde and more decent PvP-ers for Alliance. Anyway, nobody know for sure before the launch.

It's quite balanced tbh and depends on which class you want to roll. I would say that dwarves are overall the strongest race for rogues, as stoneform removes blind, devouring plague and poisons/bleeds, whereas other racials are a bit onesided.

[WTFBoomkin 1]

Alliance because shadowmeld drinking and the 1% dodge are too awesome to give up for a boomkin :-)

Also: SALV!!!

[LAMBDA471 2]

Alliance because I like the apperance of the races better.
