Could you link this for me please? I’m curious
you just sold me
velf paladins for df please
I’m unable to post actual links, so this is the best I can do for now. To unlock the quest, they finally made use of Nat Pagle’s Guide to Extreme Anglin’ which references the location of Ashbringer. A nice touch, imo.

Oh it’s for the hidden skin, I mean I guess it works but I think it’s more of a tribute to how people thought you could get Ashbringer back in Vanilla than official lore
Yeah, I think it’s more of an inside joke and reference to what players believed back in the day.
However, tribute or not, it’s still a questline in game where the Highlord and Lord Maxwell Tyrosus travel to Acherus and exchange some spicy dialogue with the Four Horsemen.
Hey if it’s official lore, I’m not gonna knock it
They changed the paladin quests in Legion.
The idea was to actually raise Tyrion as a DK and the skin was suposed to be because of that.
But to many outcry from paladins back in the days made they change.
I would not call a joke as the search for the ashbringer back in Vanilla was one, if not the most amazing quest chain they never did.
A lot of thinking and searching in game was made.
Some will even call that event as the start of the secret find community.
And I’m sure House Lannister would have their own objections
House Stark FTW.
Just because you don’t agree with it doesn’t make it a troll thread lol my lord.
We already have VE priests, please tell me the big deal of letting them be paladins as well?
blizz already ruined muh immersion, might as well open up all classes all races.

They’re the embodiment of light, though. And if any of this crappy lore stating they explode is to be taken seriously, the same would happen. So, if it works for one, works for the other.
I think the concept of someone using dark powers despite the fact it hurts, a masochist of sorts, fit the idea just fine.
the only requirement for an undead paladin is to be insane. only way it makes sense and able to endure the pain
void elves would just explode and just sound dumb. besides they wouldnt feel any different from a blood elf paladin which has been there since 2007 for anyone to play. rather have gnome paladin or another new race then blood elf clone wannabes. whats up with all these void elf troll threads latley btw

Paladins using necrotic magic huh? The quest you let them use the currupted ashbringer appearance?
Don’t see anything about paladins thinking using it is beneficial, but it is a reminder of paladins and death knights links.
Remember though, the weapon does not make the man, in this case the light is the man, the ashbringer is just a weapon to use at the time.
Edit: to continue on this, it had always been seen like this in WoW that death knights and paladins is the opposites of each other but linked in a form or way.
In a sense the “anti paladin” had always been playable through death knights as that is what they are.
As for the appearance it clearly did not alter the paladins light powers, they still used light. While the weapon took on the currupted appearance, we need to remember that during legion we where just grabbing any magic source and cramming it into the weapons we used anyways. So the weapon in a sense would be a mix of all magic types not just one type at that point.
Also note, the adventurer (you) in varies classes had always swapped magical equipment of varies cosmology powers constantly. It did not effect what magic you used by that.
It is since paladins are strictly about the light, while priests is more about spirituality and all of WoW’s religions in a single class (yes shadow priests is a reason to let VE be priests)
That is a terrible of the events on BC because we did indeed fought against keal and he did indeed used the curruted sunwell to summon kiljaden. The playable BE how ever was not apart of that group.
I would laugh if Void Elf Paladins on creation would just cause your character to die over and over. You run back to your body, boom dead.

This is what happens whenever I spec holy priest on my void elf.
It also occurs when I spec shadow priest on my LF draenei.
The game shuts down and runs an auto-uninstall protocol as well. It’s complete chaos when I do something the game seemingly allows me to do, and it’s very inconvenient.

Kind of tired hearing about velf paladins but I do agree with you on the troll paladin thing they worship a dino and get light powers? what makes even less sense is that dino was dead almost all of bfa which means they should now have zero powers.

There’s next to nothing in-game supporting playable void paladins, void elves are thematically incompatible with regular paladins, paladins are inherently a Light-based class, and priests already occupy the role of the class with a Light/Void dichotomy. I don’t think there’s anything said here that hasn’t already been said.
I also don’t know where this belief came from that this game’s definition of a paladin should be warped into its thematic opposite just to appease a vocal minority of players, namely because reverse paladins aren’t referred to as such. When I think of the classical definition of a paladin and then think of the opposite of that, I think of a death knight, or a dark knight in other works. We’ve already had the former for almost a decade and a half.

Eh, I just don’t think I have a problem with it if it’s some other source in canon. Or if light becomes corrupted. Or if players specifically stay not in canon.
Even if we don’t use canon as a reason, by allowing paladins to use void animations we also limit ourselves of a possible class “void knights”, “black knights” or “dark knights” from the game due to developer laziness. I would rather we avoid that notion.

This is why I also support class skins.
