I realy do envy horde boxers

[thinus]

Why prot? What ability do they have that does massive damage?

Invulnerability.

lol that doesnt put ouch much dps though. I guess if you wade into a group of attackers and cast consecrate (wooptie!) you might get decent damage, but one mage casting one blizzard will easily beat you.

Retribution aura?

hmm I just dont see that outdoing people that can AOE mass amounts. Hunters, Mages, DKs(<-- OP sunsofbitches in AoE), Warlocks, hell I bet even warriors are better. I just find it weird I guess.

If geared right (stack SBV) Prot pallies do a lot of dps in PvP

Check out http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...n&n=Hoboshocka though it looks like hes in PvE gear right now

This. ^^

Good guide on prot pally pvp here for those interested: http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread....31193285&sid=1

Kinda sad when Prot is more competitive than Ret for PvP (solo play that is).

Oh noes a 2 second stun/silence that has a 8 yard range and a 2 minute cooldown. Warstomp even has a cast time. Seems like you are overreacting to me.

just take a look at the 100 top 5v5 teams... it's 75% horde

Have you never lost due to a well timed kick, blind, ghoul stun, repentance, hammer, silence,death coil, shadowfury, spell lock, fear, psychic scream, howl of terror, silencing shot, concussion, sheep, wind shear etc, etc, etc?

75% of the top 100 arena is horde - That doesn't prove that a blood elf silence and warstomp are the difference, there are any number of factors (or a combination) that could affect it.

I think the core problem with this perceived overpoweredness is that the majority of the boxers are running shaman teams - all standing right on top of each other, unable to perform independantly and take avoiding measures (like standing apart, moving in different directions etc).

Any good arena team will have a raft of interrupts, crowd control coordinated, the Belf silence and Tauren stomp will just be one of them.

I think your guess is as good as theirs, perceived OPness or not horde is top 75%. What would help is what % of arena pvpers are horde. If it's even then there is a problem and I dont think you can just poopoo it away with "horde are better pvpers"
