I know Warriors used Thunder since Vanilla,
But not to this extent like Mountain Kings. While I think Mountain Thane animation and theme wise looks amazing I cant wrap my head around it for my Orc… At that point he is just a beefier enhancement Shaman. Which is cool… but I already have an Orc Shaman lol
So, I guess my head cannon atm is he will be like Thrall. Not much connection with elements anymore , but still is able to weild the power of the storm… I guess? Orc Warrior + Thunder magic needs some explaining.
Ramble over.
Orc warrior faced a dwarven in battle to the death, warrior learns how to use eletric warrior moves by simply observing his oponent because he is that good at battling.
Or with how the factions worked together in several events, soldiers shared techniques over the years and thats why alliance warriors can bladestorm.
In general, I often interpret most of the magical-seeming effects of Warrior abilities as being artistic exaggerations of otherwise mundane (but no less impressive) feats of strength and or expressions will. One could argue support of this in the fact that none of such abilities that do damage do magical damage, only physical; Thunder Clap itself has even always been described as though it was a non-magical feat, but I digress.
You could also just ignore it entirely. It’s not like anyone’s forcing you to headcanon/rp your characters exactly as they are portrayed through game mechanics.

Warriors are not mundane, they command the forces of Legend itself.
