Came back to level a hunter specifically I got lucky and have the name Lannister on my main Horde realm now so I am content, that being said I took him to the new island (a Blood Elf) and the BE hunter they added on the island flat out says “Baladash [insert elf talk what ever it is they say] I will gladly instruct a fellow Blood Elf in the way of the Farstriders”, so I loved that and thought here’s to the reminder for Blood Elf exclusivity over Farstrider tattoos.

Is there a bug with the male blood elf paladin animations? It’s like his entire torso get’s twisted.
Depends what you mean. I know you’re asking on male BE paladin animations.
But I recall there was a bad contorting torso animation for male BE with bows and that was fixed for em when VE got added (as they fixed it on both).

For reference.
Hi! 
I just noticed this Blood Elf thread on the EU forums and thought that maybe it might interest you guys!

Excellent!! I dig the effect of the rune in a class different to a “Magister” (that´s a druid, yes?).
See people? Not only mage characters can use this rune scarification design and look cool. Ty for the contribution, Lilock.
If you notice the scarification rune, the design kinda calls back to “magic circles” irl (cues examples of a “magic / spell circle”):

As Drede pointed to me back in January, the old RPG explained that “rune scar” of the artbox as the way the Belves used to execute their spells while they lacked a magical source (remember that at the time the Sunwell was destroyed). I´m a dirty anime fan, being FMA one of my favorites… and in that anime, the “Alchemists” use “transmutation circles” (cues example of FMA´s Transmutation Circle):

to combat or achieve some magical effect (like resurrecting people, though this last one usually endedup going BAD for the Alchemist). Don´t you think the explanations sound similar? My personal headcanon is that some artist DID take inspiration from FMA to explain the magica runes (too much coincidence).
Why was all that I mentioned above relevant to your question? Cause in FMA, THIS exists:

That´s the FLAME alchemist´s personal transmutation circle, and the cute animal below is a Salamander (ergo, my question about “mythical animals”).
Such a nerdy thing to mention but… what can I say? I like my stuff with some side of actual historical basis, and Fire has been associated in myths with the Salamander. i think including mythical animals on the “magical scarification runic tattoos” would improve them sustantially.
Happy to see you in here!!! Feel free to check the ideas, we have been working hard at creating an unique image for the Belves considering the base aesthetics are well… not unique anymore.
As a matter of fact, Fallynn very kindly gave me permission to post this in here (in different colors I think it could work as “make up” and/or facial warpaint available for both female AND male Belves regardless on class -think a general option not necessarily linked to Dark Rangers or San´layn per se-):

No, thanks to you, for letting me use the art proposed in your thread.
Man, every time I see that Human Transmutation circle I feel so nostalgic… maybe it´s because I´m a chemical engineer, but that anime will always have a special place in my heart.
Hehehe… frankly the only reason why I rather don´t get the class is my perpetual dismay and lack of trust on the lore team. I can see thembotching the Belf druid characters SO easily my heart breaks.
VERY cute, he just needs to replace the crescent moon with a Sun, put on a rando rune and he´s basically perfect!!!

No problem! Also derp, I didn’t even notice the moon 
Yes, the sun would be a good design for that fellow, I agree!
Hehehe, no problem. The artist was a very good one considering he had to work with the available model a.k.a. the Nelf one.
I rather prefer Shamans as a class for the Belves, less chance they get demoted to “glorified messengers of FOTM Alliance / Alliance flavored character”. I don´t mind them being second rate to the Orcs or the Tauren, after all these are waaay more experimented in their craft as Shamans.

Hehehe, nice one too. Pretty specific color though.
i take it you guys think on shades of red for the “Belf druids”?
Omg, that´s literally the same as this character, just a touch longer:

A nice longer style, less “elaborated”, more simple but just as femenine and beautiful.
I WANT TO BE A LYNX DRUID PLEASE BLIZZ!
I would play a druid in kitty form for a change.

I honestly adore druids and sorry… I’m not interested in Tauren or trolls, which currently are the only druids on Horde right now 
So either Vulpera or Blood Elf druids would be ideal to me personally! I don’t mind night elves though, and my night elf is a druid.
I just wish she could be in my guild before I stopped playing -.- As she is neutral, and so is my guild as a whole.

I love trolls, but I’d really really love a belf druid.

Be carful getting those. They might cost you an arm and a leg.
Hehehe… I thing I can manage even on that case!!! If a 12 yo could, my toons deffinitely can do so too!!
-though I´d rather not face the Truth, now that is one scary individual-.
Damn… how is it that a manga written for boys between 12 and 16 has a better narrative than a game dedicated to mostly adults?
