Night Elf class combinations

In the Deadmines, if I remember right, there are Night Elves casting Lightning Bolt and other Shaman spells so why can they not be playable Nelf Shaman?

In the Paladin order hall Night Elves became Paladins. And Night Elven society has powerful warriors that use light so why is that not used to say they can be Paladins? I mean the Tauren are sunwalkers. They’re not using the same source of light as Humans when they’re Paladins but thats the lore reason they can be, so why not Night Elves? Plus the Draenei and Tauren are or were close allies to Night Elves so surely they can teach the Night Elves. One of the lines Night Elves use when you X a chat box with an NPC is “may the light guide you.”

This one is me somewhat pushing it but, Night Elf warlocks make sense too. Since DH are back with the Kaldorei so too should Warlocks. One of the people that was a Warlock before becoming a DH was Illidan, no?

Will Blizz not do any of these because Night Elves will become too OP? Lorewise a reason can be made for all of these. Dwarves and Trolls have the most options available but the Dwarf ones half of them don’t even make sense. They learnt Shamanism from who and why exactly?

Just one side note. Blizz said they don’t care about balance with the new races but…
Core races on Alliance:
3 Paladin
3 Shaman
2 Druids

Core races on Horde
2 Paladin
5 Shaman
2 Druids

Allied Alliance races
2 Paladin
1 Shaman
1 Druid

Allied Horde races
1 Paladin
3 Shaman
2 Druid

If anyone was in any doubt that there is a Horde bias at Blizz HQ that is proof.

No. Illidan was a Mage, not a Warlock.

A warlock needs not go through the life threatening trials that a Demon Hunter must go through. Look at the Blood Elf Warlocks.
Silvermoon Warlocks didn’t need to go through the Illidari trials because that’s not what a Warlock is.

Also, members of the Illidari such as Jace Darkweaver was once a night elf mage and Allari the Soulbinder was once a Blood elf mage. They both remember the arcane but can hardly use it.
Neither are recorded server being Warlocks.

Arguably, the Blood Elf spellweaving forces at Karabor were the “Illidari Warlocks” as they were summoning and binding demons and we’re using warlock spells like incinerate and shadowbolt.

Sadly a one off event or npcs in the game being able to do something does not mean it’s something that’s available to us. :sleepy:

I don’t remember any Night elves in Deadmines. Maybe you are thinking of Wailing Caverns.

In Wailing Caverns the Druid of the fang can shoot lightning, but they are Druids not Shamans.

According to Wowpedia it says:

“Lightning bolt - Blasts an enemy with lightning, inflicting Nature damage.”

So then give us Druid Lightning :v:t3:

Ugh, why should you? What makes night elves so special?

There are too many nelves already as it is. We don’t need more of your kind.

9

The fact that they’re so strong they had their own faction.

Not to mention, what makes humans, dwarves or trolls so strong to have almost every option available to them?

10

What horde bias?
Being able to play ugly druid’s on it?

Hmmm. Have you seen the customization Nightelves are getting in SL? They’ve practically won the lottery.

12

Yeah, I meant Wailing Caverns.

Lightning Bolt is still a Shaman spell. They can cast it as Night Elves so unless there are duoclass hybrids out there I don’t see how that’s possible. It makes a load of sense for Nelf Shaman to be a thing.

Your idea of winning the lottery and mine are different. They have less customisation than Blood Elves.

The Night Elves got more homeless looks with a few scars and 3 eye colours. The males still have bad posture and ugly faces and their hair is still a mess.

Ugly druids? You picked Horde you shouldn’t have any good looking races on there anyway. Wantt good looking druids? Jump to Alliance or play a Troll female. You guys have more druid options than we do. We have fat humans, ugly casters (worgen) and then Night Elves.

Makes no sense in any way to have Blood Elf or Nightbourne druid.

For starters Trolls are the oldest civilization in Azeroth so it’s normal that they have almost every class. Plus they are your ancestors (and mine too I guess). :rofl:

If Dark trolls stayed trolls I’m sure they would be Shamans. But instead they discovered the Well of eternity, Focused on arcane magic while throwing away the Troll culture completely, and became Night elves.

You said you have proof, that doesn’t make what you say an opinion, it makes what you say a fact if you have proof.

Point being, you’re being far too over dramatic. There’s bias on both sides.

Elves come from them too.

Night Elf paladins and Nightborne druids, thanks.

My mistake.

In that case Night Elves are special because they’re one of the oldest, largest and strongest civilisations in Azeroths history. No empire has ever or will ever come close to theirs.

The proof is the info given. Not to mention they’re muddying what the Alliance is in lore as well just to appease Horde players. They’re turning the alliance into a fractured faction with races having selfish roles and in fighting amongst the races which is basically what the Horde are. The fact you’re blind to that is why you think it’s an opinion.

Night Elf Paladin makes sense, there are Nelfs in the Paladin class hall.

Nelf Warlocks don’t really make sense as they generally hate demons and wouldn’t want to enter contracts with them or consume Fel energy. Demon Hunters may be an exception on the Fel part, but they do it for vengeance, not for power.
