Quote:What I'm trying to say is that blessing of freedom is hardly "game breaking" as Sir Die claims. No one whines about polymorph in PvP, nor that druids can shapechange out of just about everything, or a rogue can sap, etc. All you hear is whining about Paladins - so much that Blizzard finally had to add them to the Horde.
If only alliance/horde had polymorph people would whine something fierce and rightfully so. This is an extremely powerful spell but both sides get use of it. I have seen people complain about chain polymorph, they just don't cry faction imbalance. Druid shapeshifting I think less so, but yes that too.
I am not speaking in terms of all bgs either, just WSG. For AV/AB this doesn't make near the impact it does in WSG since the WSG PvP objective is completely different from the AV and AB one. This spell renders you immune to all snares and stuns for a realitively long time, and removes any that are on you at the time (just that alone would be huge in WSG). Yes CC can stop someone who has it on but I don't know of a CC that works when a player takes damage. It can be removed but requires certain classes to be present, in range, and aware of the cast to do so. Give me a faction ability the horde has that comes close to being this useful in an event where the entire goal is to walk from one side of the field to the other. Simply no faction ability aids this basic strategy of WSG like BoF does.
