@,@@Steel Accord,  

 

I'm curious.  How exactly was it decided who would be sacrificed?  Would these sacrifices be revered before the slaughter, or would they just get their hearts ripped out unceremoniously (I mostly speak from my history lessons of the Aztecs up until the Spainish invaded, mind you)?

The slaugthers were part of the ceremony. They belived that the sacrifices would allow for newer generations to spring up.

The sacrificed people consisted of both volunteers and prisoners of war. There was actually surprisingly many voluteers, but they perfered prisoners as they did not want to sacrifice too many of their own people.

That only further cements why they wouldn't be a class if they were so exclusive. It's also why only Magni was "Mountain King" as not only a title but indeed his class, or why Gelbin is a "tinker" even though he's functionally a warrior.

Well that is why it could be a hero class. Tinker is another word for field engineer. Magni is the king of the mountain. Not really a class. An alliance counterpart could be blademage or something idk.

blademage

 

Couldn't you just make a blademage by taking a mage and slapping a 1h sword into their hands?

Nah, I'm just interested in mythology and history in general.  I have no interest in sacrificing people.

None at all...

What I mean is, Shadow Hunter is exclusive even by Hero Class standards, plus "blade mage" doesn't really exist in the lore as a class and the function is already kind of filled by Death Knights who are specifically sword wielding spell casters.

Well the silvermoon guards are more of mages than warrior. But that is kinda close to paladin. I see your point.

LET ME DREAM OK? It is a class in DnD

While they may share similarities, WoW is not D&D, kickass as they both are. In fact, part of what brought me back was that the monk, my preferred D&D class became available in my favorite fantasy setting. (Aside from the Four Nations.)

 

That's pretty much how it works out. I like the almost limitless possibilities of D&D but I like the more concrete given world of Azeroth.

Shh, let me keep dreaming about shadow hunters and blade mages.

Anyway, WoW has a strict lore and we will probably not have much more expansions before warcraft 4, so maybe one day....

Ah that's the think I'd rather keep dreaming won't happen. I don't want WoW to "end" anytime soon. I understand it must after awhile, but I would at least like some closure before it does.

I mean more of a lore resupply break.

You know one warcraft game can give A TON of new bosses and lore.

We are starting to lose cool bosses. So we will ned to introduce more soon.

Why should wow end anyway? Its a giant money factory.

Let's especially with a new expansion coming. One I might be able to experience in real time directly as opposed to learning through second hand account and catching up myself after the fact.

I agree with that then, but it simply must after awhile. No one can keep an MMO going forever.

Going back to that, I STILL am biting my hooves/claws in frustrated anticipation about new information regarding the class orders, drip feed us more Blizzard Goddammit!

No you are not. That would ruin the immersion when we have the expansion. I just want to see what artifact I am getting on my holy priest. xD

Well we already saw one of them. That teaser with Gul'dan- HEY WAIT A MINUTE! Gul'dan is supposed to be dead! Are you telling me we traded Garrosh for Gul'freaking-Dan?!

I want to see that AND the order halls!  Nothing else until the release!

And yes.  Yes we did.  I wish they redeemed Garrosh or at least gave him a better death instead.

I personally would not mind the in-game cinematic. Not clamoring for it but I wouldn't mind it either. As before, I'm more interested in the Class Orders, included the Halls and artifact weapons, even for the classes I don't play.

I would probably say Chulorn, being a centuries old Vindicator.

 

That Wei Yu is a more or less normal mortal who's still growing into his training as practice rather than theory, is part of the point of the character.

 

Although you can sort of tell just from how many words are given in description to each, that the most powerful character is not always the most fully realized one.
