Death Knight Drakthyr?

Or they were a Warlock Before they got lightforged.
Reminder that warlocks are not nearly as tainted by Fel as Demon Hunters and the light seemed to be doing a good enough job at converting Illidan until he decided no.

Did you not understand what I wrote?

You’re literally making my point for me, i.e., there is no reason that dracthyrs cannot be a DK.

The point is that a Death Knight like the class that is currently in game is firmly linked to the Helm and the King, both of which are gone and officially none have been created since the start of Shadowlands. As of right now, it’s assumed we can’t because the magic needed to do so simply doesn’t exist anymore. Like trying to transmute without a philosophers stone.

We’ll probably find out more once we start focusing on DK things more again when we go back to Northrend. Either finding a new way to make DK’s like us in a 5th generation, of just leaving it as no new races can become DKs. We just have to wait and see how it plays out.

I’m going to assume you can’t or don’t grasp how dumb it is to say both

while at the same time saying

So, by your logic, and I use that term very loosely, it’s okay to make things up out of air (like a LF being able to call on fel…) for certain things but not others… And people like this are confused why devs don’t interact on the class forums…

I don’t think so, Draenei warlocks were not part of their society like this, they were villains. Draenei warlocks are the Eredar.

There is, you just chose to ignore my comment above. Also it would be interesting to see Dracthyr DKs doing the Legion class campaign for the class mount and killing dragons in cold blood and then corrupt one of them with shadow magic. It would make so much sense indeed.

That doesn’t really make sense. The light would have abandoned them once they are using fel magic, these things do not coexist. Same for Death Knights.

Actually, LF Draenei only makes sense with paladin and priest, but more paladin once priests stills use some shadow and void magic.

Of course there is a physical reason they can’t be rogues… Come on…

first gen DKs bring the concept of attaching a soul to a reanimated body. later gen DKs just happen to use their own body, but the concept remains the same. that said, we saw with nathanos that it is possible for undead to switch bodies.

from a gameplay perspective, you can play like a first gen DK, its a sub spec for unholy that really has viability in epics as a support class functioning as a large team fight disruptor, like wow’s version of a EA-18G Growler.

we literally already know how, we just don’t because in lore DKs generally see themselves as sort of cursed. raising someone into undeath to become a DK outside of extreme need is sort of morally wrong in their eyes. however a small minority of DKs were willing volunteers.

IMO for Drakthyr a special instance where one is raised as a DK by a subfaction of willing DKs could be used to create a narrative of conflict between willing vs cursed DKs later on. also they need cool undead skins with patchy wings and gothic armor and stuff.

im not sure about earthen, when they are alive are they alive? if we put the memory gem or whatever back in and power the body via necromancy instead of whatever animates them currently, wouldn’t that just still leave them a self aware rock that moves? im not sure that is undead vs just its normal state.

Why would you want to? Aesthetic? The racials don’t do much for the class.

Because your comment is nothing more than conjecture and your opinion. In short, it’s meaningless. Blizz completely ignores lore anytime it suits them, which makes lore pointless as a metric for whether something can happen or not. Nothing you say on the topic is relevant.

About as much sense as a LF using fel and summoning demons…

dracthyr dk would be cool. theme them after sindragosa. instead of regular dracthyr you could just have them be dead sundered flame guys and have sarkareth brought back as the dracthyr dk representative guy. it’d be an interesting way of doing it at least, considering the worgen dk are meant to be from arugal’s pack and the goblin dk is from the steamwheedle cartel as opposed to gallywix’s

And what is that? What is it that a people with a long culture tradition of hunting suddenly can’t do when hunting the most dangerous game? A thing several NPCs of them have done since the beginning. Especially since that cinematic back in BfA showed that at least for some rogues Stealth is a magical thing.

There’s some cool stuff they can do with them, and I really hope they add them in Midnight. Granted I’d just love to have most of our transmog options.

a knockback, doublejump, and glide are huge for pvp, especially wpvp and epics. then add in 1% mastery and its very compelling against night elf.

Could have sworn glide gives no movement speed at all in pvp now

maybe in rated, but in epics just having any slowfall is life saving sometimes.

Exactly, it doesn’t make sense.

What you said here is that you don’t care about lore but whatever your brain wants even if it makes no sense because it would be cool to have a Dracthyr DK. You are not the sort of person to argue with, you don’t care about logic, you care about Blizzard satisfying your desires. That’s why we will have Void Elf Paladin at some point in the future. Even if it makes no sense.

If there is someone else who’s guilty about the decisions Blizzard is making except from Blizzard itself, it is this sort of player. We might as well ask for Dracthyr DH, or maybe for every race to be able to be DH. Who cares if it makes no sense? It would be cool, right? None of these class and race combinations are, by the way.

Hunting has nothing to do with that, and the Tauren were never stealthy people. And you, indeed, can’t be sneaky if you are built like a Tauren. Your argument simply doesn’t work.

you have never been around bison, they can in fact be sneaky. spend a week camping in Custer State Park in South Dakota if you don’t believe me.
