okay, what did you think of my idea about the evoker to dk scenario?
Evoker to DK? Do you mean Dracthyr DK? Cant happen. There is no Lich King to create more Death Knights. Even if you created a new Death Knight now, it takes place in either Wrath, or between the events of Legion and Shadowlands. There cant be more without a new completely different version of DK like the difference between the 1st gen DK’s and later gen. Blizzard and their poor writers that have since been canned wrote the furthered existence of the DK class out of WoW.
Cant do anything with the Crown of Wills, cant do anything with some tombworld of Death Knight Dracthyr below ICC that Arthas was too stupid to use during the attack on his castle, cant do anything with the Ebon Blade because they dont create Death Knights “but the player raised the 4 horsemen! its clearly possible!” yes because THE LICH KING GAVE US THAT LIMITED POWER TO DO SO.
It all comes back to the Lich King and Death Knights. No Lich King, no more Death Knights that we know now. They would be completely different and only similar in name only as someone else in this thread has pointed out. Looks like there was only 1 person that gave a damn enough to actually do any research on this matter.
No Lich King, no DK’s, its that simple.
assuming you could make DKs, what do you think of my idea?
Also side note: Why can’t Night Elves be Shamans?
I bet Zepla would love it if Night Elves can be Shamans or Paladins.
they are into the wrong recreational substance to be shamans
Wat
I dont know what your idea is nor do I care, but its probably not good assuming my other conversations with you like your “make WoW single player” rant you had that people were agreeing with me on.
DK’s are over thanks to Blizzards crappy fan fiction pushing department that has been canned. Fan fiction should stay out of IP’s and stay on tumblr where they belong. Star Wars, Star Trek, what they are doing with Tolkien with the Rings of Power, Dragonage, Warhammer 40k to an extent and many many more are being ruined due to poor writers and fan fiction pushing ideologs.
DK’s are done. Get over it.
In game universe, I don’t think there’s anything actually stopping them and we’ve seen night elf Shaman’s in dragonflight.
Actual reason why not, they require extra art assets that blizzard hasn’t made yet. Feel like they’re expanding the race/class combos to where every species can be near any class, but so far they’ve only moved forward on the classes that don’t have unique art assets. Sharmans, along with paladins and druids, would need more work.
I feel though that they could do the same thing with them that they have with warlock daemons and put them in the barbershop so you can choose from the assets they already have rather than inventing new ones.
Oh come on, what a load of excuses from a company that probably made a metric 
-ton of money off of the Brutosaur.
Clearly they can make a decent art for the Kaldorei Shamans, Paladins, Drakthyr DK or god-forbid Mechagnome Druids.
Right?

They should be able to do it without too much problem, and I really wish they would.
The bureaucracy of getting things done in a company that big and all the hands that something would need to pass through to get green lit is pretty big, and that is just allowing people to work on these things like Night Elf totems, different race mounts for paladins or anything else and then the results have to be approved that doesnt even mention the time that would have to go into all of this.
They also have to weigh the cost of the time investment compared to what they would make as a result. 4 people resubbing for Dracthyr Death Knights isnt good enough.
I know California and Hollywood has been throwing millions upon millions if not billions down the drain, but that isnt a good thing. TWW hasnt been good enough for Blizzard to just go the cosmetic route for things. Even the 20th anniversary launch was rough. Level 70’s have an easier time with the combat in these things like Chromie and the timewalking raid or at least they were because of some wonky scaling.
It’s a question of timelines, to be fair. Certain classes have unique animations and stances that need to be modeled, and unique forms/mounts/totems to evaluate per race in terms of design.
A lot of it is just a question of time, which is why as the other person pointed out the more normalized classes get brought to all races first. I imagine Druid is a special kind of headache for Blizzard due to unique racial forms + potentially adding recolors to existing Legion forms for other races.
Can’t create an DK out of something that was never alive
