Warlock Title (15chars)

We know for warcraft cosmology that discord/disorder was the progenitor of fel / chaos magic.

We also know that the title of “wizard” is common in the warcraft universe.

That raises the quest, why are warlocks called “Warlock” instead of “Chaos Wizard”, because I feel that the latter is a lot more interesting of a class name.

Because warlocks dont have only chaos/fel magic ?

Why Druid isn’t called a Nature Wizard? Why Shaman isn’t called Elemental Wizard?

Why is anything called how it’s called? Because someone someday name came up with those names and they sticked.

Can’t we just rename everything and place ‘Wizard’ after it?

Nature Wizard
Chaos Wizard
Regular Wizard
Elemental Wizard
Smite Wizard
Stabby Wizard
Metal Wizard
Death Wizard
Eyebeam Wizard
Pet-taunt Wizard
Alcohol Wizard
Deus Vault Wizard

See how much better everything now sounds?

Can’t say I’ve seen much mention of the word wizard in WoW it’s mainly mage.

As for Warlock, you could probably trace it’s origins back to Daenor since the first 'locks that we see are from there or perhaps the word can be traced further back to a world the Legion conquered. A bit like most words in the English language come from other countries or past civilisations that we have anglicised.

Isn’t warlock the male version of witch?
As in someone who dabbles in dark and forbidden magic?

“Wizard’s Sanctum” where all of the portal are located and “I only counted 99 kills, wizard” Kargath’s quote.
Those are the two that come to mind straight away.

This!!! I would definitely play on my rogue more if it was renamed a Stabby Wizard!

Can we start a petition to get blizzard to implement this in 9.0??? :rofl:

They are former wizard’s, or priest’s or anyone who saw legion power and was fascinated by it. Because in lorewise fel was far far more stronger magic than any other type in the game is presented. Dark magic is not allowed(because of it’s destructive wake) by most of azeroth races, so most of them are outcast’s for using it. It is also much more simplier to learn, that’s why u see some primitve mobs or lesser creatures use that magic :frowning: . Power of user depends how strong he is to master this kind of magic :sunny:
That means Warlock is something like Dark Wizard :crazy_face:
