Not exactly true, especially when you have things like ‘touch of death’. There’s more to monks than ‘life magic’ and ‘defending oneself’.
Worgen also don’t always have to be ‘bloodthirsty’, if they were just bloodthirsty murder machines they’d have a very limited class choice I’d think! Especially with the starter zone helping those with the curse helping control all such things.
Those classes, as playable don’t really have anything as close as monks would be as far as ‘using ones body as a weapon to fight’ which monk takes quite literal.
I mean if you’re saying Worgen bodies are less ‘tough’ than say human monks, orcs… (Ah, the bloodthirstiest of the bunch, I’d argue.) It’s a tad silly.
Create a macro
name it " Break Neck "
Set an image with Break neck
/cast [@target] Touch of death
and you got it : no blood splitted, and realist spell.
they are by definition bloodthirsty. They are even more bloodthirsty than the orc drinking the fel.
Goldrinn rage is a curse that even Elune or other power has not been able to cure, even Goldrinn struggle to maintain his own when he’s contacted.
What Vassandra Stormclaw given to the gilnean is a “pause” to tempter. But even that Genn Struggle too with it.
That why they can’t be paladin , monk or anything that need a calm behavior.
Do the pandaren killed the mogu and the mantids to 100%
For the mogu the pandaren fought for their freedom. That why you could find mogu still alive in Pandaria. They fought for freedom, not for killing mogu.
that because of shao shao lesson taken by the white tiger
I recommend you give a check to the book Vol’jin: Shadow’s of the Horde. The monks there literally punch their hands across chests.
Being a monk isn’t about avoiding bloodshed, but about utilizing your body as a weapon by accomplishing balance with yourself. The pacifistic side of it comes from the pandaren way of thinking, but even having a simple look at how the Shado Pan operates you will see that the Jist of their training, on top of achieving inner balance, is to make their own body a weapon.
Which is actually something I can imagine worgen do already, just in a more savage way.
Keep in mind that the feral urge they had cannot really overwhelm them after the ritual performed by the night elves.
Not really, LFD kinda disproves a lot of that stuff in the first place. Not very hard to get ‘imbued by teh light’ which doesn’t seem to exist in the afterlife either so shadowlands kinda debunked a lot of light-themed stuff.
They got priest because they already workshipped the light before the wall and the curse
And when the Order of the Silver Hand come out Gilneas Wall was already closed
Now with their curses they can’t be paladin or priest.
Only the priest that was priest before the curse was priest.
Like the forsaken, if they weren’t priest before the light tend to punish them more than they benefit to them.
The ritual only paused the curse, making the human mind and worgen mind in balance.
The curse is not gone.
That why in Heritage Questline Vassandra Stormclaw still seek a cure because no one has been able to sooth Goldrinn rage.
And for the monk part difference, i can’t imagine a worgen doing pelerinnage in Pandaria, summoning a extension of sha just by themself
The LFD ritual isn’t exactly something every and their mum does. The only individuals whom get imbued with light are LFD.
Priests invoke the light.
Paladins are a conduit for the light.
It’s subtle but significant. A priest calls upon it to act for them. A paladin calls for it to act through them. Worgen are cursed, undead are…undead. this is why despite them being able to be priests they can’t be paladins as they cannot behave as a conduit for the light.
Also the light most certainly does exist in the afterlife, albeit separately from the SL. Revendreth questline explicitly goes into detail as to how the Naaru waged war on the Venthyr and caused the hole in the sky creating the Ember ward. Rather than show the Light doesn’t operate in the afterlife, it shows us it appears to care nothing for boundaries of life or death, just like the void. It makes no difference to them whatsoever.
As for the light holding claim over the dead, it’s still speculation but there’s plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest the light can pawn souls and take them rather than have them cross over, Bridenbad for example. We assume they simply move to whatever realm the light is from where life and death isn’t a thing at all. It’s not the given rule though, as Uther didn’t. This may be because his soul was fractured, or maybe the Light was aware he had a part to play in going to SL. Like the Void they’re cosmic chess players, so it’s reasonable to assume they have plots and schemes regarding their behaviour. It could be as simple as they only take souls they want/think are useful and Uther didn’t make the cut.
Let us not forget the light as force seems bound to the principle of unswerving obedience and belief in a singular right way, abandoning all doubt. Uther may have been a great paladin on the surface, but he was still a bit of a freethinker and didn’t mindlessly follow orders. The light reportedly doesn’t much care for that. You only have to look at the behaviour of the lightbound and LFD to see this. They quite happily kill themselves to further whatever they believe is the lights mission and will quite happily massacre other races because a glowing chime told them to do it without pause.
I thought so too, until I realized Azuremyst Isle which is still in the TBC timeline has a Pandaren monk (trainer) that was just randomly on that island cataloging wldlife when the Exodar crashed.
Oh? But I thought all paladins were imbued with light?
Ah, and whoever paladins choose to imbue with their light and…
Ah, Illidan they tried to make into lightforged without a trial… Hmm. Then there were the literal legion demons becoming imbued with it… Ah, woops.
Also, could go with ‘oh hey with 9.1 the light now chooses to imbue… Worgen! :D’ lore fixed, I guess. Just like they do with any other lore in the game. Arguing something shouldn’t exist cause of existing lore is pretty bad, tbh. :3
this is just something they added/made up to make it work, kul tirans had no such hiostory prior. Likewise they could make up whatever for worgen/goblin monks. I think it’s weird, both cata races, hardly have anything in common, what can be the reason they share for not being able to learn monk style. weird cata code? xd
Thing is that even if they do make such up I am fine with it, as long as it makes some sort of sense. Like Gilneans having harvest witches sounds plausible enough for me, but on the other hand some class combinations just seem way off (Draenei shaman and Goblin shaman for example.)
In the end I just do not understand why they keep these classes away from these characters. Reducing the selection for druids, shaman and paladin? Yeah, I guess I can see why they would do that, but monk is borderline everyone class like warriors and hunters are.
(also like the martial arts aspect of it ngl)
