Anyone even tangentially familiar with WoW would know how massively fucking overpowered everything in that universe is, with its entire population of special snowflake sorcerers facing off against the infinite forces of otherworldly powers intending to extinguish all life.

You could argue for weeks with hordes of fanboys frothing at the mouth about how powerful a certain spell is, or how a character could totally solo an entire army of demons, or whatever playing the role of monster-of-the-week.

I know this isn't /tg/ or /v/, but I think that people actually familiar with the capabilities of weapons might actually have better answers than people who think employing zerg rush tactics for the purpose of establishing pyrrhic victories is a legitimate long term strategy.

So, I pose my question; if you had all the resources you think you'd need, how would you go about conquering a magical realm of assholes?

Marine and medic spam.

Send in scout teams, verify guns still kill them (and considering swords and other physical damage works to some degree, they probably do).

Figure out what is effective defense from their magic, to my knowledge it seems to rely on a lot of thermal energy (fireballs, lightning bolts etc) so most modern armor, on both armor and infantry should work just fine.

Assuming the our weapons and armor is effective, the war would basically win itself. The bulk of their armies are completely defenseless against a modern, mechanized force. Only the special snowflakes, mary sues and demigods would pose any problem, and considering they fight mostly in melee or within a couple hundred metres, they wouldn't be much more than a nuisance.

So, how do you kill an army of the undead in a frozen wasteland.
>>
>>30980566
Multi-box at least 30 guardian druids, 1 shot everything with instant cast moonfire. Can't be killed because lol guardian druid. Moonfire 1 horde per second, self heal as needed.
Walk through Ogrimmar like a nexus of death.

Because a modern army fights in a single, big fucking cluster with no screening, reserves, patrols, etc right?

Idiot.

>>30980651
Blizzard has made guns all fantasy and stupid. Only remotely interesting one is from kahrazan and impossible to farm.
>>
>>30980669
> Body armor is just kevlar

And if bullets, swords and other physical damage didn't work, it would render roughly half of the in game classes completely unable to cause damage.

I always hated hunters so goddamn much. I played warrior and they always seemed to have more skills to keep me immobilized and out of my range than I had skills to get close to them.

in the new expac if they want they can take a talent point that does away with their pet and basically makes them a Ranger. it also increases their damage by like 20-30%

Yeah. It's at least "interesting" most are ugly and extraordinarily bizarre to the point of absurd stupidity.

>>30980914
Everything else aside, the way a magnified optic works, you would not see or know it was there.
>>
>>30980980

I don't know if that would be better or worse. The more damage would suck to fight against, but at least I wouldn't be disarmed by a hunter's pet eagle. I keep having an urge to play some WoW again, but my needs can no longer be satisfied by the current game.

>>30980669

Hard plates would stop a sword, would help stop a fireball because ceramic is one hell of a thermal sink.

Hello CIA. Your plan goes fine until the radio controlled cat you spent millions on to sneak into the frozen throne accidentally gets tamed by a troll hunter and the informant you relied on is actually Timbermaw dissident that gives you bad Intel and to make matters worse your team gets dismounted over Wintergrasp in the middle of their attack.

I used to joke that with some of the gun models it was like you could hear the designers thinking "Nerf or Nothin'!" all those neon colors and fat shapes

I need 3 teams per capital city.

Team 1 is the kill team. They work in unison focusing 1 target at a time and killing them. The 30+ Multi-box guardian druid is perfect for this or they can just all moonfire a designated/marked target one shot'ing players. Protect paladins would also be a good choice. These are tough self healing classes with a ranged ability.

Team 2 are resto druids with cat form affinity. They come in behind team one but remain stealthed and rez any fallen players. A group of healers sticking together, they unkillable by smaller groups.

Group 3 is comprised primarily of warriors with a couple healers. They go to the horde gy and aoe anybody that ressurects. Picture 20 warriors in the gy casting bladestorm.

Oh they work, it just takes 5 years to kill anything.
