Would it be possible for Anduin to go on a similar journey like Varian did? Like to where Anduin goes back to Pandaria and learns to become a Monk instead of using the Light? I would’ve assumed that the Light abandoned him because of what happened to him in Shadowlands. Wouldn’t it be better that way? Anduin was forced to become a Death Knight, the Light abandons him, then he goes back to Pandaria and learns to become a Monk. Please tell me this makes more sense then him being hard on himself over losing the Light and trying to get it back. It doesn’t make any sense with how the Devs went about it.
That is what he thought but then when he had to cure Khadgar he found out that the Light didn’t abandon him after all.

The Light didn’t abandon Anduin it feels like, more like he thinks he is unworthy to wield it because of how he felt and what he did, even against his will. It seems more like a mental, mind over matter, conflict with himself than anything else.

Anduin wouldn’t reroll monk. They’re trash this expac and Anduin is a known fotm guy.

I kinda wish he’d fall in battle at this point. Kid’s been nothing but a dissapointment.

He’s had a close call before. Remember that time when Garrosh broke every bone in his body in Pandaria when Anduin was like 12 years old?

A part of me still wants him eaten by the Nerubians.
So, inner conflict then.
Seems sketchy to me. If he couldn’t invoke the light throughout half the expansion I would’ve assumed he didn’t have it at all.

I’d rather just send him on a journey to the Firelands, one way, without sunscreen. Then dump his ashes into that outhouse in the Searing Gorge where a dwarf has been taking a continuous dump for the past twenty years.

I saw the ad for Super Mario Bros 3…
Or… No.
Even after all this time even the writers don’t know what class to make him.
One minute he’s acting like he’s a priest,next he’s acting like a paladin,then kinda turned into a really lame DK and now back ot kinda paladin. No way he’d even make monk.
At this point Thrall’s kids are going to pop up(since last we saw them was the Orc Heritage questline) would have figured out what they are ages before Anduin.
What does it even mean for “the light to abandon you” and why should we care at this point?
In the new cosmology of WoW it’s not even clear “the light” is good, it’s just another cosmic force working for its own end. In the current cosmology, Azeroth is basically the God of Free Will and Creation, and all of the cosmic forces are trying to manipulate her and corrupt her for their own ends.
With Anduin they’re seemingly still working from the old conception of the light being a truly divine force related to some kind of universal good (and also the titans) before they retconned everything in WoD/Legion and especially SL.
Anduin has his own path to follow, it’ll be sloppy writing to copy/paste Varian’s story.

Honestly the writing was better when the light was just good and the fel/undead were just evil. The whole " its just power with zero variation " reeks of lazy writing and catering to people wanting and edgy dark but misunderstood to cool for you character.

He was experiencing so much guilt that he believed the Light must have abandoned him. He was afraid to try. But when it came down to saving Khadgar he overcame that fear and gave it a shot. It worked.
