Okay. What in the actual !@#$ is the logic of giving the Alliance their fourth (Fifth if you count the pandaren) shaman race and not give the Horde their third paladin? That's actual horse %^-*.

This has brought my piss to a boil.


I used to be against Zandaladins... Now I feel like they deserve it... Especially considering how Shirvallah's been portrayed to be a Light Loa (sorta)...

I know Kul Tiran have Tidesages but damn making them as Shaman is a bit much IMO... Especially considering them using water elementals, their ingame armor being cloth and not mail...

Press F for Zandaladins

THEY GAVE ZANDALARI MONKS! WHY!?


Zandalari being monks disgusts me as a Pandaren... Let's hope the idiot who taught them isn't a pandaren or else i'll have his head on a pike.

I have no idea why Mag'har and Nightborne get monks but those two don't.

It's like Blizzard took monk lore out back but didn't even give it the dignity of finishing it off, instead just leaving it there crippled and bleeding.
But let us not lose ourselves and get back to the most important news.

SCOURGE MEATWAGON MOUNT.

Also, alot of Scourge/undeath suddenly?

A meatwagon mount, Sylvanas going evil, the Lich King's daughter appearing...?

They saw one too many forum posts being all "urgh anyone can PUNCH so EVERYONE can be monks!" and actually took it seriously.

Force race change all monks to pandaren. Remove them from all other races.

No exceptions.

Wise words.
Now that is the good old sense-talking Elenthas I missed.
Can't imagine there is a pandaren on Azeroth that would be happy to share any monk training or techniques with the Zandalari, save for "make a fist, and hit yourself with it."

I'd be fine with that.
I think Zandalari Monks are for game balance reasons. Due to the exp buff Monks get, players will cry oppression if Zandalari are the only allied race that can't get that sweet exp buff to speed through levels.

I don't like it, though, it makes no sense from a lore standpoint, but... here we are. Tbh, it needs to be complained about now, before they become a thing, as when they're implemented into the game they will never be removed.
...

I think that might be the nail in my coffin.

I'm genuinely lost for words.

i want to die
Wyatt Cheng seemed to want to die too; he was choking pretty hard at the end :/
I mean...It was there, wasn't it? All the little teases? The outcry on the forums for them? The sort of subtle steering towards them with the addition of the Zandaladin boss in the new raid? Fostering hope?

I just...Why?
Oh, to point out: Since Shirvallah is portrayed as a paladin loa in Hearthstone now, WHY NOT MAKE THAT CANON IN WOW?!

They could remove the Zanda Monks, a hybrid class, and replace those with Zanda Paladins, another hybrid class, and explain it with worship of Shirvallah.

Blizzard is getting way too complacent with their status as kings of the market. This is just... sad. I'm not angry, just desperate.

i wanna die more

I genuinely thought they had something. I would have been content with a new Diablo 3 expansion. Hell, even a class pack would've been enough. Diablo 4 would have been the biggest thing they could have pulled, but instead they disgrace one of my favorite game series of all time, by devolving it into a mobile game.
The real intelligent redpill is understanding that Zandalari Monks are a good addition because it allows you to RP concepts like a Krag'wa monk who performs powerful leap attacks to confuse and take down his enemies.
'Mobile is a great opportunity to bring Diablo to more people.'

:)

The darkest timeline is ours...
The pain of roleplaying with male Kul'tiran monks is going to be a real and an intense irritation I'm not looking forward to.

EDIT: To put an image into your head, imagine somebody rolling brewmaster monk and essentially walking around like an in-character Gragas out of LoL.
Thoughts and prayers for Diablo. Gone, not forgotten. :(
