MOCKERY: so grateful that Riot MMO will have race/class restrictions

Community General Discussion

that’s cuz the riot MMO is being made by devs that know what they’re doing. plus their story writers are obsessed with their game’s universe, which is great - and I think plays a huge part in class/race fantasy design :dracthyr_heart:

i like the idea of class/race restrictions, as long as there is good writing to back it up. Opening up everything, for no reason… including your most special classes is soooo boring

For example, If dryad/cenarions are introduced into WoW, how the heck are you going to make a mechagnome that’s half stag? :eyes:

I’m not talking about DF. I was talking about specific NPCs in Wailing Caverns. Those aren’t actually Shaman.

I forgot that game was even in development.

REBUTTAL: regular dragons can’t even use power from other flights, some Dracthyr can’t even do this.

So being a Evoker is a very special situation

REBUTTAL REBUTTAL: It’s a fantasy story. They can come up with any number of reasons for weird stuff to make sense. Tauren can be paladins because Sun, but still have the exact same toolkit as humans.

ADDENDUM: If you try hard enough, you can make anything make sense in a fantasy world. You’re pretending to be a star wars character in the WoW universe. We all have our foibles.

They were hybrids.

They use lightning bolt : 3

Wow has a bunch of npcs that can multiclass. The classes themselves are like generalizations of units that the races have. Rogues/hunters can represent scouts, assasins, pirates, ninjas, jousters, pet masters, poison experts etc

Night elves also have some shamanistic lore with Queen Azshara with the restoration healing artifact and there element mastery over elementals. So they do have ties to some of what shamans represent already. Mostly the elemental magics.

Also the firelands druids are sort of a mix of shamans and druids for example.

Thrall for example was trained to be a warrior, and shaman.

Learn to read, clown.

I covered that. Thanks for telling me what I already knew.

You, on the other hand, are trying to prove they are Shaman, when they clearly aren’t.

Those are no more a Shaman than Anduin is a Paladin.

Thanks, Captain Obvious.

Got any more mansplaining to do?

53

No.

54

…Anduin IS a Paladin

Or, more accurately, he’s a Priest that took up the role of a Paladin in the place of his dead father

55

Wow you are sorta toxic. But yea I see night elves flinging lighting like my own shaman. I will call them a shaman. Even if they are hybrids.

Anduin was being trained to be a paladin, and wielded a sword as such. Illidan was a mage training to be a druid, then became a demon hunter.

I will enjoy my new race/class combos though. If you don’t want to play them then stick to old race combos.

Hopefully one day Blizzard realize how most people don’t care about world building and just want to play their favorite race with the class they want.

Best change that will ever come to WoW a long side of completely destroying factions.

57

The only class/race combo restriction that makes sense is Demon Hunters and Elves. Every other class is essentially a religion, which any race can believe in.

58

I know you’re prolly trolling, but I’ll bite. If they give us velf pallies, make it so they can’t use the void appearances so we can be helf pallies in everything but name. But also, there are belf pallies running around with the darkfallen appearance. Just saying.

59

Because of culture reasons. Nothing is stopping tauren and draenie from physically becoming locks and DH.

Maghar on the other hand turn green of using fel magic which would mean they are no longer maghar.

So how can a maghar be a lock or DH while still beging maghar.

This is a game and is supposed to be fun, so I think any race/class combo should be available. The lore hasn’t made sense in a long time anyway. Of course they already added the combo that I wanted in Legion (Gnome hunter).
