thats actually the blood elf racial description on the official WoW game site
here is the description for a void elf
alleria considers blood elves her kin as well as teaching them to control the void is as deep as your lore goes. no mention or claim to being a high for thousands of years
and im done. no more bumps for this troll thread from me
There is no canon source for their, “Explosion” theory.
They say because the Titans said that Holy and Void energy interacting caused the Twisting Nether that it means Void Elves would explode if they used the light.
The Titan’s opinion on those things has been pointed out to be suspect in Shadowlands.
Also, that’s more of a large, universal amount of those energies. Not someone channeling the light.
They’re also over-estimating just how void corrupted your average Void Elf is in the first place.
Shadow doesnt heal for free, the lore and in the text for shadow mend is healing for a price, it heals you but also starts slowly eating you as a small dot, dot increases with more use.
Shadow doesnt do stuff for free and corrupts the user, giving them a taste for blood,understanding faceless language, developing psychic powers and void is more harmful than light, with greater destructive prowess.
They just are not similar, embracing the void does so many wacky things to you that the light does not, they can not remotely work as a class skin.
Also the idea of class skins needs to die, it isnt real forget it, the game has not run out of ideas.
Undead paladins make more sense because death and light have shown to be able to live together, despite it causing great pain, the pain is brought on by restoring undead senses and puts them in a perpetual state of agony, but other is doable, we already fight undead paladins.
I mean that is a pointless post you just made what? Void elfs ARE blood elfs and BLOOD elfs are High elfs. They are all High elfs. What stupid post you just made.
I think a lot of people have a harder time with lore-bending decisions when they just blatantly make no sense. For instance, people have wanted Blood elf Druids for ages, and despite there being some examples of Blood elves having interest in the power of nature, Blood elf players have never really pushed too hard because it would feel a bit dishonest to add a class with a thematic that pretty much stands as an anti-thesis to the race its being given to.
So when Void elf players jump into the forums “Demanding” Paladins while dismissing the opinions of players who’s problems with it lies heavily with how nonsensical it is to the lore, it’s gonna cause some problems. We don’t have to agree on everything, but pretending the opposition doesn’t have a foot to stand on feels intentionally inflammatory.
There are in game Forsaken Paladins… Sir Zeliak for instance… and this is fine. who cares? If Forsaken want to play Paladins let em’. There are lightforged death knights. How is that different?
And blood elfs are also guess what corrupted by fel, again what a dumb remark. Green eyes is a sign of fel corrutpion in the blood elfs that is slowly fading away. as High elfs are very susceptible to all magics as that is why they are now getting golden eyes as well but magic also fades from the fast too.
