Yes, again, you stated the class fantasy doesn’t suit you. The mechanics do but not the class fantasy, which go hand to hand. It isn’t for you. That is it.
You’re not the first one to drop a class because of class fantasy. Like how my friends can’t play horde paladins because all the animations are for humans and the dwarves with the church of light thing. Well they can play blood elves but they don’t like elves.
They can just race change to human or dwarf and keep on raiding with their friends because cross-faction guilds and grouping is thankfully a thing, contrary to whatever muh lore garbage.
Evokers cannot race change into something that’s not a goofy gecko with idiotic huge wings again because of muh lore garbage, and it’s an awful design decision.
I’m not alone in this, many people who stuck with Evoker use whatever means they can to change their model and prefer playing as murlocs to the stupid lizard.
Locking an interesting class with really fun specs behind something like this is just crazy bad design.
Lore wise, the horde and alliance do not fight each other anymore. Also they don’t like humans or dwarves so that is a no. Like you. You don’t like dracthy so evokers are a no.
Evokers cannot race change into something that’s not a goofy gecko with idiotic huge wings again because of muh lore garbage, and it’s an awful design decision.
Yes, and that is something you gotta live with it being part of the class fantasy and design. You don’t like it so of course you skip it.
I’m not alone in this, many people who stuck with Evoker use whatever means they can to change their model and prefer playing as murlocs to the stupid lizard.
That is on them. They found a work around but that is still just that, a work around.
No, it is called class fantasy. Not bad design. Just because it isn’t popular doesn’t make it bad, it just doesn’t fit with everyones taste is all. And that is okay.
No, it’s called trash design because you arbitrarily lock something behind a feature nobody likes. Class fantasy is irrelevant. Gameplay and player experience are relevant.
Neither are irrelevant, that is what makes it a fantasy game. Class fantasy is needed at times. You can be mad at it, doesn’t change that it isn’t trash design. Just a specific design and mindset. The dragon powers can only be used by the dragon form. That is it.
Drakthyr are dragons though…
There’s that.
Yes, it’s a specific case of trash design. Blizzard will eventually walk this back like they did other Dracthyr classes, they’re just often very stubborn in their trash design choices.
They will not, other dracthy classes don’t use dragon aspect powers. Hence they’re allowed to use use normal magic or just their bodies to fight.
It was like that manga with Kalagos I think. He would fight in his elf form with simple arms and simple spells but when things got heated up, he turned dragon to use all his dragon abilities.
how?
this games class lore is contrived AT BEST and is FULL of contradictions.
This dates back all the way to WoW existing, how much Warcraft 3 class lore was thrown out the window?
More than you think.
Let’s go with worgen for example, they can be preists but not pallys?
Why?
They are literally humans.
Also, being death knights back in cata, makes no sense. Lich King was already dealt with and by that precious “lore” of yours, the PLAYABLE worgen race is strictly Gilnean.
There is nothing “devalued”.
Especially in a rpg VIDEO GAME.
Let me play the class I want on the race I want.
It ain’t gonna break or devalue anything.
We are also talking about a game where a warrior can dress as a magical girl.
“class lore” is such a contrived BS excuse.

Explain
Especially in a rpg VIDEO GAME.
Yes and in RPG video games, they have fantasy and lore. If not, it would just be fortnight.
We are also talking about a game where a warrior can dress as a magical girl.
And? A warrior is literally just someone who fights. Their outfit doesn’t change that.
“class lore” is such a contrived BS excuse.
No it is not and so many people saying so is how we get another shadowlands.
Edited it in right there.
CONTRIVED fantasy and “lore”
“class fantasy”
that’s the excuse for dumbly gatekeeping classes right?
works here to.
already provided proof that it 100% IS.
What about undead priests?
by LORE they shouldn’t be allowed to be anything more than SHADOW priests.
yet I can be holy.
Almost as if GAMEPLAY and GAME MECHANICS trump lore.
stop worthlessly gatekeeping classes.
Let me play the class on the race I want.
your “class lore” is a FLIMSY, BS, EXCUSE.
Let’s go with worgen for example, they can be preists but not pallys?
Why?
That is because of animations and mounts. They literally do it with every paladin class or upcoming ones. It takes time. It took them forever just to get the monk fighting stance right for them.
How does it not make sense? THe ebon blade literally said they would be sell swords to keep their cravings at bay. That is the literal lore, they aren’t just going to die off.
of yours, the PLAYABLE worgen race is strictly Gilnean.
You do know that they made a whole cutscene about that for Death Knight worgens right? You’re not gilneans.
CONTRIVED fantasy and “lore”
Nothing contrived about it. If that is contrived than lord of the rings is contrived.
“class fantasy”
that’s the excuse for dumbly gatekeeping classes right?
works here to.
Yes, and I agree some classes should be gatekept.
Literally ignored Vanilla wow with this one. Undead could always use holy light, they just didn’t use it because it hurt them a lot or regain their senses so they taste their undeath and that was not something they wanted.
It took real conviction to use the light as an undead and only a select few could do it. It also was because being undead made you neurotic in nature, mostly with a negative Misanthropic outlook, which the light doesn’t go for.
Yes they will whenever whatever relevant metric falls below some treshold. Blizzard is just incredibly stubborn in their stupid decisions because of course they know best.
Then you shouldn’t play a fantasy game.
Wait you mean
GAMEPLAY TRUMPS LORE???
WOW thank you for PROVING MY POINT.
The playable race description says otherwise.
Ever wonder what CONTRADICTION is?
yeah, thats one of those.
because of CONTRIVED bs?
Once again CONTRA. DICTION.
are we connecting the dots yet?
No, more like it will come when they get their animations right.
It does not. You were a silverpine worgen captured and turned into a death knight personally by the Lich King.
because of CONTRIVED bs?
Because of fantasy lore. They are already pushing it with lightforged warlocks.
Once again CONTRA. DICTION.
are we connecting the dots yet?
Nothing contradicting about it. You wondered why and I explained to you via lore why they could use the light. That isn’t a contradiction at all.
yes, that CONTRIVED, CONTRADICTING
BS.
Are you seriously THIS BLIND?
Yes it does.
Go to the character creation screen, right click worgen.
It says it RIGHT. THERE.
you mean the thing that has NEVER HAPPENED?
Face it bud, your argument is dumb BS.
yes, that CONTRIVED, CONTRADICTING
BS.
Are you seriously THIS BLIND?
You can keep yelling in caps, it doesn’t make it true. Still no contradiction shown.
That is just a character creation screen for the race. In the game you’re a silverpine worgen. That is where character creation screen is just an RPG base concept. Like a character sheet. It can be modified during the campaign. Which it was for worgen Death Knights.
They literally said it was coming when they get the mounts and animation done.
ignoring the blatant and obvious doesn’t mean it isn’t there.
stop lying to yourself and use your EYES.
Wait, you mean a contradiction between LORE and GAMEPLAY?
And yet you say it doesn’t exist.
bruh, DO YOU NOT SEE YOUR OWN ARGUMENT?
You do know character sheets are just a base concept in fantasy games right? That they can be modified in the game. You’re still a worgen, you’re just a silverpine worgen. That is it, the lore hasn’t changed.
