When there is an exception to the rule, you can no longer make absolute claims about said rule, such as “X is Death Knight a trainer, therefore X is a Death Knight.” The rule obviously doesn’t hold up at that point, and becomes a general guideline, and not a hard line of logic as you tried to present it. Being a Death Knight is clearly not a requirement for our training, and lore-wise, we learned our magics from three separate sources: Blood from the San’layn, Frost from liches, and Unholy from general necromancy. We are not the sole purveyors of this knowledge.
Let’s look at your exact words again and see if I’m actually being disingenuous.
This literally argues that the color association of each spec somehow didn’t happen until after Wrath because we weren’t locked into singular specs prior. Which makes absolutely no sense for what should be obvious reasons. There is no misunderstanding of the words you wrote. If what you wrote is not what you actually meant, then that’s on you.
I understand that you’re essentially trying to argue here that this Unholy trainer has “enough points in Blood” to have red eyes, but that’s a self defeating point. They’d be clearly slanted towards Blood then, so why would they be the Unholy trainer? And I guess by comparison our Blood trainer doesn’t have enough points in Blood for red eyes, or isn’t as trained in it as the Unholy trainer? It’s all very nonsensical when put in perspective. Lady Alistra is an outlier, and we have no explanation why at present, only a few educated guesses; but it’s clearly not a class centric thing when she’s the only example. And weren’t you the one who just argued that exceptions don’t stop the norm?
Again, because the arguments don’t hold up. You’re trying justify an unexplained exception as a norm. And you’re actually being dishonest with this line, given that you lump in green eyes and claim them as “apparent” as if they already exist on some other trainer somewhere. They don’t.
And you absolutely do harm the class fantasy when you want to throw in things that screw around with, or don’t make sense within the lore or magical system, and frankly have no justification other than just because you want the pretty colors to match.
Nice strawman; no one made this numbers argument. The only thing needed for customization or cosmetic options is probable cause, and not unique circumstances. A single character with “X” unexplained trait is most certainly not probable cause, let alone the dubiousness of said character fitting within the group you’re then trying to apply the trait to in the first place.
