Draenei Warlocks? You ARE kidding?!

Except when it doesn’t. Lore has always been inconsistent when it comes to the different cosmic forces mixing. That being said warlocks don’t need to use fel. The only fel spell warlocks have without doing the green fire quest is chaos bolt.

No it’s In game character choice.

Not really.

And yet no one is a slave to their culture. Most people are born into a culture and can leave it if they wish.

Except for the 100 year old Draenei who’s only known Draenor and Azeroth. Not all Draenei are that old.

It’s not like warlocks are friends to the legion anyhow.

Nothing. Progress is inevitable.

Naw.

Humans aren’t the only race with free will. Not a single player race is a hive mind in world of warcraft. Each race has their own culture. No not every member of every race is a slave to that culture because that’s not how free will works.

Sounds like every fantasy and sci-fi setting.

Their culture yeah, thousands of years ago 1/3rd of the Draenei population rejected the legion’s offer. But that doesn’t mean that all modern draenei are physically incapable of being warlocks. Hell in AU draenor we say a group of Draenei defect to the legion and call themselves Sargeri. Which is WAY more extreme than being a warlock which is not a friend of the lgion.

Yes Draenei were considered traitors and hunted. But the legion is gone now as a unified force. Warlocks aren’t pro-legion etc, etc.

Who says the army of light is allowing it? People are allowed to break taboo or even gasp the law.

One or a small group embracing it doesn’t mean everyone embraces it. If a human were to steal IRL does that mean human culture embraces theft?

That’s not the point of Illidan’s arch. He didn’t reject the “gift” because he’d lose access to fel magic. But because it was forced on him to try and change his destiny and erase his past.

Warlocks rarely if ever use fel.

Warlocks aren’t DH.

Your understanding of the lore is a joke.

Religion and understanding of it can be changed. In addition, people can quit their religion.

They’ll work fine.

That’s not gonna happen.

Sounds like a good weapon then.

Calia Menethil says otherwise.

Every non-undead warlock spits on the cultural identity of their race. Since nearly every race is anti-demon. A lore tid-bit is Varian tolerated warlocks for their battle prowers but banned the summoning of demons or other dark magics in public places with a punishment of death. Thus, why the warlock trainers are in the slaughtered lamb or w/e it’s called. It’s a sort of “Don’t ask, don’t tell” sort of deal until it comes to the battlefield. Not sure on Anduin’s stance on the matter but without any additional lore I’m assuming he kept his father’s law regarding the matter.

It sounds like modern blood elves would probably outlaw it considering they outlaw the use of shadow/void magic. So not just spriest but also warlocks.

Warlocks have always been outliers in their culture. It’s nothing new. The only culture that seemingly embraces warlocks is undead.

Source?

What’s weirder the dev’s “forcing” an npcs to do something you believe that wouldn’t or the devs forcing a player to be unable to do what their character would? Cuz imho some weird god-like power taking away free will from individuals is more weird to me and violates the lore.

Correct. Not only does it not cause physical damage but it HEALS the effects of undeath. Very slowly and very painfully.

You said lore friendly race/class combos. Which is all combos.
