We're also subject to snares but are a bit better off in being able to use seal of freedom to get out. Usually by that point we've run out of immunity though. We have more reliable escape options but to say that the Shaman doesn't have any is fallacy.Two things. I never claimed that pallies had better means of escape in any of my posts and I also never claimed that the shaman doesn't have any reliable escape methods. I said they aren't as reliable as rogue and mage escape methods (ignoring vanish rank 2 bug that blizzard won't recognize. Rank 1 really works well though).

And as I said, I would never actually call alliance "easy mode" myself. Some things horde have better (\o/ for the Kalimdor flight paths! Easier bear quest for the druids), some things alliance has better (easy quests for the rogues, more attention to detail to the Eastern Kingdoms and alliance quests there). For me, alliance has always been easier (with the exception of gnome rogues in redridge ;) ) than horde. And I have played through all the starting areas with all races. After the starting areas, the race differences within the faction don't matter much in terms of questing rather than racial traits. Maybe life really, really changes for the horde past 45 and makes life easier for them than for alliance, but I doubt it. It's still probably about the same with Alliance having a slight edge. And that slight edge is basically just the difference in populations. More alliance means more business and competition at the auction houses.
Intolerant monkey.
