Blodelfshamy

Blodelfshamy was a level 7 draenei shaman that made his fame with the thread "Nerf Holy Tree." This thread was made in a time when priests felt like they were ignored by the WoW development team, and felt like they were replaced by paladins as main healers. The topic goes as follows:

Seriously, blizzard really took paladin too far in TBC. I remember the wow classic days where priests were always main healers. Now a hybrid can out-heal a priest That's such bs And how about bubble? Pallies already have a crapload of armor, and gladiators will have maxed resilience. Why does a priest get such a horribly scaling shield, and paladins get lolimmunity for 15 seconds?? And how about mana efficiency? That build in pvp takes literally zero skill to use. Drain all the pally's mana, and 5 seconds later he's healing. Roll your face across the keyboard and you'll keep a warrior topped off and win any fight. Go ahead, try it. The first time i saw paladin healing in TBC, I was shocked. I was in west philadelfia born and raised on the playground where I spent most of my days chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool and all shooting some b-ball outside of the school when a couple of guys said were up in no good started making trouble in my neighbourhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said youre moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air. Since then, i've seen the deterioration of the game as the hybrids, especially pallies become more and more powerful than the pure classes. They have lost their role as utitlity class and have replaced priests as primary direct healing. Other than spirit and fort, there's nothing a priest can do better than a pally when it comes to healing, and even arena! Thx blizz for TBC, you really screwed up big time.

At first, it looked like a topic with genuine concern over advantages paladins have over priests, but... Unbenknownst to all the first readers of this topic (including the first responder, who later edited his comment), Blodelfshamy "Bel-Air'd" his post.

What made the thread unique was that multiple times on each page of the thread, somebody acknowledged that it was a Bel-Air. Yet, as the thread grew, so did the angry posts on Blodelfshamy's complaining about holy tree imbalance. The posters did not read the thread in its entirety, and just as they approached the wall of text, the Bel-Air kicked in. This is what made the post so effective.
