Halfling PvP domination.

I mean, isn't it? This race is so obviously dominative when it comes to PvP. Just look at PvP guilds, all competitive PvPers have halfling GWFs/TRs/HRs(oh these ones are annoying) and even CWs. And those GWF halflings running around in domination are simply surreal. I am not a big buff of 4e as I only had the time to read the 3.5 handbooks back in my school/college years but I do remember halflings were not able to wield great weapons. Outrageous.
Okay, enough runt, here is my constructive feedback:
In my opinion, bonuses granted to this race are too good comparing to the other races. I don't really mind the 10% CC resistance even though it's too cheesy too but the flat +3% deflect chance is too good, especially in combo with Bold racial passive. For example, take Wood Elf's racial bonuses, they only got +1% and 10% more resistance against slows. Just 1% and 10%...against SLOWS? Isn't that ridiculous? What race may provide bonuses as good as halfling's?
The only race I could compare to halflings in terms of racial feats effectivness is probably dwarves but still theirs are too vague for me to judge.
Somebody may say that the other races got really good racial passives for DPS but let's say that straight - PvP is about defence and how much you can take before you die and halflings is the best choice for that. There must be some variety. Halflings' flat +3% deflect chance should be either decreased to 1% or changed to +3% deflect stat bonus similar to Versatile Defense of humans. I do know the deflect stat is kind of hard to stack but it'd would be still rewarding if they focus on that, plus they still have 10% CC resistance which works well with tenacity.
Ty for reading, tatty bye ^^
P.S Lazaroth, sorry mate xD

yes yes its focken brilliant!
Somebody would actually start picking Illusion Shimmer boon instead of 250 arp
It's not like I hate them but I always had an apathy for that race, tbh. Don't know why but I always try to keep a distance from them >.>
Both RP/Game wise.
WTB Class Reroll please
lol even when you RP? why? I think they're adroable, especially female halflings lol.
But I seriously despise them in PVP.
:mad:
Actually, I agree with you. Problem isn't that the halfling bonus is too good but the other racial bonuses are too weak. I.E Half Elf 1% gold find... really?
I don't have enough D&D knowledge but I would like to know if these same racial bonuses appears in the books or were added by the devs.
NERF EVERYTHING BECAUSE I LOST A FIGHT
Something needs to be done about this as more serious pvp players will always choose this race. Either a change of the hafling or changes to other racial bonuses to make them have their own attractiveness.
I say the only way we can ever end the whining in this game is that everyone is only allowed to play the same race and class. And everyone starts out with the same gear and enchants and can never upgrade.
Oh <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, that wont work either because than the whiners will cry that the other guy has a better internet connection and that is not fair.
Seriously people. GET A LIFE
A Harvard study shows that 100% of people who tell other people to get a life over the internet need to get a life.

Pretty much this. I have a hard time rolling other than halfling for pvp, or horc or human for pve.
Drow need either a much longer timer on the debuff or a much higher proc rate. (and a fix for clerics if it's not fixed)
Dwarves last I knew were pretty much broken
Helf needs it's bonuses put to 2% or maybe 3% each
Moon/Sunelves need their ap gain boosted farther, not sure how much I'd put the % at.
Tiefling are probably good.
Wood Elves raise their crit to 5%
It may be a trend among PvP-ers, but is it really unbalanced or just a popularity case? What about all the other top, well known PvP-ers that don't use Halfling because its not what they originally chose when starting? Or those who don't use max CON or perfect stat rolls? I don't notice disadvantages in their fighting from a very minute racial bonus.
All for the sake of coming ahead in anyway they can. This has always been the case and it always will. Let them. I dont personally care. Trying to balance that wont make a difference, as they'll do the same in some other area. That small slight bonus isnt anything major in the grand spectrum of things.
For PvE there are better choices for most classes already. Not sure drastic action is called for TBH.
Aelar Hawkwind - Archer
Karrin Feywinter - Mistress of Flame
Errin Duskwalker - Executioner
Darquess - Soulbinder
Now imagine... Halflings getting a class feature - rework. PvP guilds filled with tons and tons of sad midget like characters.
I do however remember races could not be certain classes do to height, weight, size or religious affiliations etc.

I could never roll a Halfling GWF/GF/CW/DC/HR because it just doesn't look right to me. I'd only feel right with a Halfling TR. Also, Elvish & Tiefling GFs and GWFs don't work for me either. I struggle to picture a Half-Orc being anything but a GF or GWF. I once saw a Dwarf TR ninjaing around PE and thought that looked unnatural.
There shouldnt be that much of a difference in them to make them the only viable class for pvp. In other games people were taking races for less then .5% bonus to one stat, which is all negligible in the end. Which is what racial bonuses should be..

That is a boring way of doing it. That makes the choice cosmetic. Instead make every single bonus useful rather than the 2 or 3 useful races we have now, and then people have to make hard choices when making a character. Hard choices are good.
Or roll a HR, have combat spec, farm profound set and get healed from both set and the boon. Then have fun dominating and jumping over your enemies which can't provide a competition for your broken build.
What I am trying to say is when everything is already max'd, 3% is a big advantage. Also I've noticed that all those +% aren't actually % but something else. E.G why does Wild hunter's passive proc's so often if it only has 3%? For me it procs like every two encounter rotations.

And they all have butt-ugly toons. I wouldnt roll a halfpint to save my life
