We have Dark Ranger Paladins and druids running around everywhere…
Its ok ro give nightborne the customizations too at this point
You lore people are holding the game back and have been for years. Nobody knows what’s going on any more lorewise, not even Bellular. Nobody wants to read 100 books to piece together wtf is and has been doing on
Neither one of these breaks lore.
Cross faction makes sense in lore as most raids are done with both factions working together.
Dark rangers make sense for the most part.
Some combinations of class doesnt but thats a side effect of adding customisation to be something other than the race you’re playing as.
Its been that way for ages. Its non canon so no big deal.
When I read about the unlock, I thought it was limited to…you know, Hunters. Dark Rangers are RANGERS, not everything under the sun. Very strange choice.
I’ve been a huge lore fan of Warcraft for years, and it’s become pants on head silly with some of the twisting and turning, especially when we have NPC examples in game.
Let players play whatever class combos they want at this point.
They recently expanded the meaning of Darkfallen to include Dark Rangers, I would assume any non hunter is simply a Darkfallen Elf, presumably raised by either Arthas or Sylvanas at some point in time.
They seem to be allowing player agency in that regard.
Night Elves and Blood/Void Elves now have undead options that the Forsaken don’t even have… THE FORSAKEN… let that sink in.
A Forsaken can’t be a paladin because they’re undead. An undead Blood Elf can be a paladin because … why?
Forsaken can’t be druids because they’re undead. An undead Night Elf can be a Druid because… why?
The Forsaken can’t be given better posture because thematically it’s problematic… Night Elves, Blood Elves and Void elves can now turn on and off their undead status by spending 10 gold at the barber…
As a I mentioned in another thread, another option is for Blizz to write a little story about how darkfallen nightborne came to be, and then everybody wins.
The lore may have gotten wonky but throwing it out entirely gives me Fortnite skin vibes, which is blegh.
I’m a 33 year old bitter warrior. Dark Elves were pale broads that used bows. These new Dark Fallen Paladins and Dark Ranger Night Elves are different and I don’t like it! chews rock
