True, even the Legion used voidwalkers and void along with fel.
You’ve a valid point, especially with the ‘more extreme’ part. I just couldn’t immerse myself when I used to play a Void elf warlock, for me she could only summon void walkers.
Says the human.
I’m a fan of draenei, this char was made for rep bonus, but it did not end well. Melanie is waiting the start of Big Love Rocket farm, then after the even she will die.
And yes, humans are ugly, if no rep bonus, I would not create the char.
Belfs are garbage go human
Why do people call blood elves “arrogant”? I’m always civil to the lesser races of the Horde
Such a shame I prefer people like that either tall or thicc.
Not true they are the best Horde has at least for my taste.
And there’s the issue you call them lesser races thus proving our point of arrogant belfs .
Step 1: Dont play a warlock
Step 2: Choose night elf
Step 3: Choose hunter
Step 4: Choose your name something like legolas, legolass, liegolass, legolais etc.
Step 5: ???
Step 6: Profit.
Ah you watched Nixxiom video on how to be a hunter.
I agree, although nelves are my favourite class. I have made humans simply because, when push comes to shove, the 10% rep bonus is too good to turn down in some cases. It’s why this poor sap of a rogue has been nominated to start the bfa content (I keep putting it off) when I have 3 other non human contenders ready.
To OP if rep gain isn’t a factor go dwarf or undead imo.
go with destro belf, op
Both have merits. Humans can have the whole John Constantine angle (Though I actually used that idea on a Blood Elf female) of a Warlock, but one who isn’t bat guano insane, and generally is a -good- person, if somewhat amoral, or they can go full on Doctor Faustus, all about it for personal gain, or even a proper Ming the Merciless type, chewing the scenery and cackling like a madman. Transmogs are nice, but as many have stated, the models aren’t great. Actually, no, let me rephrase that. Human Female model is actually quite good, it is in proportion, it is not too skinny, not too hulking, its like “Yes, I see women with that build all the time” in real life.
The male human model…Oh deary deary me. Someone at Blizzard’s character design studios must have watched Conan the Barbarian too many times, (The original) and then went “Like that dude, but even bigger!” The male human doesn’t even look like a human being. If you saw someone like that in real life you would find it freakish, some sort of Government Super Soldier experiment that had escaped. Their facial expressions don’t help either, they always seem to look like Constipated Space Marines…
Blood Elf on the other hand, Well, their merits are a bit different. I mean they have a complicated love/hate relationship with Fel, and with Demons also. They seem to have a “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, similar to the United States Forces views on Homosexuality until 2011. Basically everyone knows someone is doing Demonology, but we just don’t talk about it, and that person is never going to volunteer the information themselves, because as long as they are discrete, the State can just go “La La La, no one needs punishing, everything is fine”. Problem cases or the blatant probably get bundled into the back of whatever the equivalent of a Sin’dorei black van is and never seen again.
We know they ‘tolerate’ them, there is a Warlock on ‘Murder Row’ who summons their Succubus, -but only at night, in daytime he is just stood there on his own. There are Succubi keeping enslaved Leper Gnomes under control in the basement of the Tailoring trainer in Silvermoon (Its pretty grim, you can even hear the Leper Gnomes sobbing and weeping).
Its pretty clear that if you’re discrete, the State doesn’t care. There is also the whole Fel Crystals thing. Now Silvermoon is trapped in TBC without an update, so the massive great big Fel Crystals with eyes aren’t there anymore, they were ditched before WotLK in lore. Also don’t confuse their purpose, they weren’t there for random Blood Elfs to start draining, like Gluesniffers huffing bags with Evostik in them, they were there to keep the buildings up, the floating ones. An actual Blood Elf who snorted too much Fel ends up looking like a Felblood like Selin Fireheart from Magister’s Terrace. I bet though, that some of those smaller Fel Crystals are still knocking around, doing a shady little black market trade by clandestine sellers and buyers.
Oh sure, Silvermoon is the ‘Shining City’, but it has a Dark Heart…
The Transmog options again, are fantastic, as for humans, the models actually have the reverse problem. The Male Blood Elf model actually looks more like a Human, than the Human male model does. It’s bizarre, but the male Blood Elf looks like an Olympic Athlete or MMA cage fighter. They’re ripped, but not hulking. They did used to have a horrible stance, which made them look like they had scoliosis of some sort, but that was altered when they got the new faces, They still look like they’re standing to attention, but at least their spine curves the right way now. As a small aside, if you want a proper ‘Evil laugh’ then Blood Elf Male is for you, they literally sound like “Mwahahahahahah”.
Blood Elf females have excellent animations (Apart from /Salute, which looks like the most sarcastic salute ever, in fact it is a visual form of “Yeah, Whatever -Sir-”.) Transmogs look great on them, They do look skinny. Now for a Warlock, that’s not so much a problem, it more is for your Farstrider or Blood Knight types. I mean they do look like, if you saw one as a human, you’d think superwaif, but then people actually went for that look a few decades back., or in 1970’s New York, so it isn’t ‘unrealistic’ at all.
I think given the complicated relationship with Fel, the more realistic models, and the fact that we see it in Silvermoon, I think I would have to come down on the side of saying Go Blood Elf.
Pretty much because everyone wants to be Robin Hood, and no one wants to be the Sheriff of Nottingham. It is the fantasy of being the shining good person against the wicked darkness, which, don’t get me wrong, is a compelling narrative, but without the darkness to stand against, where would the story be?
As a long term roleplayer myself, I find the narrative slightly more interesting playing a ‘Good’ person, like Brigante, who never touched a Fel Crystal, is an honourable soldier of his people, never mistreats prisoners or civilians and was sickened by the events at Theramore and Teldrassil, but somehow trying to reconcile that with the fact that he works for a pretty grim regime. It isn’t for everyone, which I guess is why some people want to just play the ‘good’ guys.
Blood Elf. Easily.
I assume it’s also easier to play the good guy. In my DnD group I way to easy sacrificed the dog on the altar. The others were shocked
Human racial lets you run relentless in PVP, belf racial lets you purge a debuff and generate your primary resource still I think(?)
Personally find both races too bland to want to play myself.
Personally, I love the look of Blood Elves as Warlocks.
The whole “Kael’thas/Sunfury/Illidari” type thing of TBC - I do have the hots for.
Also, I love Blood Elves with green fel-fire and their green eyes.
As someone with many humans and many blood elves, make it a blood elf.
Human. Ofcourse. As the Grand Marshal himself said, “Never trust an elf!”
