10.1.5 and the addition of Warlock class to other (light-oriented) races

Thank you very much!

I mean go look at the Acolytes in the Shattered Halls. The only reasoning I can accept this is witnessing Priests and Paladins from the Outland Expedition led by the Sons of Lothar.

It still makes more sense than LFD Warlocks.

This one is shaped just like my castle in Lordaeron which I will one day reclaim. I call him Homie. He is my favourite.

It happens every time. Just look at when Worgen dropped.

Worgen still shouldn’t be beloved or trusted
 They can go crazed-werewolf on you any moment!

I always try to think creative within the possebilites of my characters.

A warlock in Dungeons & Dragons for example, they are pact magicians, draws power from sources beyond the material world or by powerful entites.

A Lightforged Warlock could be a expert in Banishing, Subjugate and Interrogate Demons - Using necessary methods of their enemies for the means for their victory and glory to the light is at their hand.

A Tauren could be the same but bit different and certainly if not mostly does it for the Earth Mother, too ward from fel corruption and evil spirit from its allies and were he resides.

I am for sure there gonna be a lot of creative that has way more amazing character concepts, which will be something amazing, I am very excited that perhaps at last any race any class combo becomes a thing. I will for sure make a Night Elf Warlock.

For me being a warlock doesn’t always mean having to do anything with the demons at all. Shadows and curses are always a thing, and you can’t always distinguish a shadow priest from an affliction warlock. Summoning shadowfiends and other such creatures can be done by either too, and for a Pandaren being a warlock can simply mean adapting mogu techniques and practices without touching any fel or demons.

Aren’t Mogu shenanigans more akin to (proper) Blood Magi, Blood Death Knights, etc?

But if you mean, a Warlock is someone who does evil bargain for evil power(like the Mogu), then yes I agree. But goodluck reconcile Pandaren Warlocks :thinking:

Not always. There were mogu kings that relied on sorcery and shadows, and one could, even if not without an issue, find books written by types like Zian of Endless Shadow in the Lorewalkers’ possession and learn from them.

Cultural appropriation shamans in tacky outfits from other more well established cultures coming soon? Coming full circle on the tauren issue with human crystal moms chanting in faux taurahe?

My best bet is them being written with the whole Old Ways thing from harvest-witches and making them have some sort of vaguely Celtic or ‘pagan’ vibe, or the humans learning it from the dwarves through their connection with them.

The harvest witches blend celtic stuff with some folk magic and what pop culture tells us paganism is, so that’s already a thing and kul tiran tidesages are already shamans, inexplicably donning mail armour when playable. Maybe one day we can mog cloth

I’m going to RP a LFD Warlock and none of you can stop me because I can’t read. Good day.

The connections to harvest witches isn’t even necessary considering humans had shamans in ye olden days.

A more interesting route for explaining human shamans would be Kurzen’s Expedition.

Vrykulaboo otaku nerds become more mainstream and share vrykul shaman knowledge with the rest of humanity.

Dunno what the vrykul equivalent of a maid cafĂ© is but that’s where they’d all hang out.

Having been grinding rep with TBC Factions recently, it’s occured to me that Draenei Warlocks (not LF) could feasibly be ‘Auchenai’.

Draenei Warlocks can be feasibly Draenei Warlocks as stated a few times in this thread

That’s more shadow priest’s department, really. Though with regular draenei there isn’t really much of an issue in the first place.
