Despite playing Alliance, after watching some videos and doing some exploring I’m really enjoying Bwonsamdi’s character. The way he acts and the jokes he makes when you die is brilliant and I’m definitely going to make a horde character to hopefully see more of him.
So this brings me to my question!
What class is Bwonsamdi most like?
I’d love to make a character based on him, but I can’t seem to find one that relates to him the most - just several similarities across different ones.
But death and void are being shown as antagonists, so it wouldn’t be the same thing at all. I believe it’s on the comic with the three sisters that came out before the expansion. The whispers tell Alleria that Sylvanas, death, is the true enemy.
I don’t think we have something that it’s similar to Bwonsamdi. Perhaps death knights because they are undead, but even so their powers and their lore are very different from Bwonsamdi’s.
Warlocks I would say are not at all related to Bwonsamdi.
Actually, in Chronicles there’s a image of all the powers in the WoW universe, and shadow and the void are clearly the same thing, and close but not the same as death.
I googled “chronicles wow magic” and the image appeared. Unfortunately I can’t post links, but you can search and see for yourself.
I never said it was strict, just that necromancy isn’t the same as shadow magic in WoW’s universe, and the only class that represents necromancy is death knights.
And light is also capable of creating undead, as we saw with Calia. So death and undeath aren’t the same as void/shadow. And Blizzard is pushing this distinction in the current expansion, going as far as putting death as a new antagonist to life and the void.
In fact with this thematic being so prevalent in this expansion and the fact with seem to be heading to an old god/void lords expansion next, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next class we see is necromancer. But that is just wishful thinking in my part
