Hmm, I don't know about NE. Normally, I don't have any problems vs elf. But NE is always a strong race, even though they may see this patch as a really bad patch for them.

They nerfed the dryads and the staff i think thats enough for the moment we will see how much will change after this patch.

Sure, it was really necessary :)

It's very good that they patch the staff. Should have been done a long time ago.

Definitely. Night elf was the strongest race so far. The staff was TOO good and dryads were far too expendable and good for their low cost. They still have to nerf the warden

I don't think the NE nerfs were completely necessary, but I think they were good changes nonetheless.

I would have preferred to have seen bear research/build times increased, or AoW creeping nerfed. I think this would have broken NE vs UD less. I also think the staff nerf was bad because it harms human much more than elf, so I would have changed each staff individually, perhaps making the elf staff cost much more, and making the human staff unable to staff mechanical units.

I believe the orb nerf was necessary, but the dryad nerf - i'd of rather had a cost buff like 145- 165 gold for instance. The thing that made them imba before was that the elf just could carry on making them - and they still can, its just elfs will have to micro alot more now which is good, but a cost nerf would of been better imo.

When we compare an archer or a footman 130/135 gold to a dryad 145 gold, i know which i would prefer personally - a spell immune/fast moving/dispelling slow poison ranged unit.
