Which is funny, cuz even in MoP the worgen partake in some of the âmonkâ quests in one of the areas, with the trainingâŚI donât remember the name of the area, but it does show them kicking and such.
One major difference between Worgen and Sethrak though, the worgen have claws where as the Sethrak do not, or at least not to the extent on their hands as the worgen do. Punches and the like would work much more easily with a hand that can be closed more easily into a fist like such. As for their feet? WellâŚlook at the Draenei or troll, they have awkward feet and do just fine! Plus a tail like theirs makes for great balance while fighting!
The reason I say paladin: if I remember right, all one needs really to be a paladin, is to be a priest that also takes up the role of a warrior. I mean, look at Anduin, he was a priest himself and now he is more as a Paladin than a priest. A melee fighter that uses the light is what a paladin is based off of, so I donât see why itâd be as far-fetched :3
Technically a Paladin is a armored warrior infused by religious light meaning a race with no Priests could still by right be Paladins, Humans, Dwarves, HighElves/BloodElves and possibly in the future Gnomes were created through Priests as a desperate need to combat the Old Horde in the earlier games.
Draenei Vindicators are Light Worthshipers off the bat and infuse the light through themselves more constantly and willingly, Tauren Sunwalkers arenât even close to this and are only Paladins due to gameplay limitations in the lore theyâre actually buff armoured Sun aligned Druids (remember in Cata there was Moon/Sun mechanic for Balance Druids), Zandalari Trolls infuse there light through zealot like worthship of there Loa namely Rezan and possibly another unknown Loa with light capabilities to become Prelates not Paladins by right, Dark Irons i canât pinpoint 100% myself but theres two outcomes here the easy option A which is they copied the Mountain Dwarves of Ironforge with Light or option B theyâre using the Light of Flames as there religious infusion meaning theyâre Flame Paladins (which would honestly fit them better).
For Sethrak as Seije said it (ps i loved your post mate good job!) would be the flash of light within Lightning coupled with religious Loa worthship this is a combination of logic from Tauren Sunwalkers and Zandalari Prelates but there variant isnât in Lore a Druid but more likely a Shaman or Priest/Shaman.
I finished the horde of the horde, in which we see the funeral tributes to Rasthadoop!
We see several inhabitants of Zandalar, among them Kiro, representing the Vulperas and several tortolans!
But I did not find any sethrak among the public!
I remember seeing a Sethrak in dazaralor, but I did not see any altar dedicated to Sethraliss! Was she forgotten by the trolls?
The zandalares and sethraks have a good coexistence?
After all, the Sethraks live in Volâdum!
And it is in Volâdum that the Zandalares exile their criminals!
I do not know how they can have a solid relationship of good neighborhood, like neighbors, when the zandalares send thieves and throat cutters, to the backyard of the sethraks!
I would not have a good relationship with a neighbor throwing his trash in my yard!
I donât really see why that has to be done. I mean sure, itâd be great to have the starting areas and such, but the way AR are currently done, they donât have a starting area. Just continue the trend and spawn the character in at the same location as other characters of the same AR at the level the hero class starts at, and then just let them go quest as normal.
Thatâs the easiest way to handle it.
Currently there needs to be more of a lore reason for some of the AR races to be a DK though, as it doesnât make any sense for some.
Maybe thatâll be fixed in a death themed expansion as is speculated.
I think DKs would be easier to explain than DHs. DKs could have been raised recently by the orderhall leader (Morgraine?)
DHs would be much more tricky, especially since the lore for DHs in Legion would drop them off with a bunch of NPCs they havenât seen before that are suddenly looking to them for leadership and referencing past history. I know that they donât need a story to make them playable, but the same could be said for all the other classes that they added to races later like NE mages and Tauren paladins; I just donât see blizzard implementing a class without having a lore-based reason for it.
that said, iâd love a Sethrak DH. Sethrak with wings would probably be the closest thing weâd get to being able to play actual dragons.
Iâm curious what would you guys do if they wonât become playable? 8.1 has passed and 8.2 was revealed ot doesnât seem like Sethrak will feature in any future patches and not only that but for the Alliance too.
The Sethrak arenât even Acknowledged by the devs compared to vulpera
what would I do? Honestly, I donât know. If I continued playing, Iâd remain on my worgen. The story and content would really have to draw me in though. It also depends on what the other options would be for Alliance as ARs.
What do you mean by this, though? Iâm not sure I follow (am also quite tired, so itâs likely Iâm just dumb atm)
Has the dev team referenced vulpera? If so, iâd count that as good news for our friends over in the other megathread.
As far as what Iâd do, my sub has been expired since January. I check in here from time to time, but the recent Q&A got me posting again. Iâll probably calm back down and go silent again in a few days.
Iâve been wanting a reptilian race since Naga were rumored before TBC. I donât have a whole lot of interest in coming back to the game, but Sethrak would be the one thing that would draw me in. Iâve been wanting to try an RP server, but if i do, i want a character i know iâd enjoy regardless of gameplay. As someone that is usully drawn to the Kobolds and Lizardmen and Dragonborn of tabletop RPGs, Sethrak would scratch that itch perfectly.
The thing is, Ion said that they are looking at feedback. What have been the major megathreads going, nonstop, since ARs have started to be talked about? Sethrak have support. People have mentioned wanting them, constantly. This thread is among the popular ones.
Even though I donât see any Sethrak warlocks ingame, I think it may be worth giving players the option to play one. Being a snake-man that can summon demons would just be too cool to deny! I donât even play warlocks and it would be cool seeing them run around.
It would kind of make sense from a faithless perspective, however I donât really see devoted being ones to dabble into such a demonic power. Of course I could be wrong~ I love warlocks as well and itâd be pretty awesome to see them running around, I agree!
Keep in mind, we didnât get Nightborne until Legion was virtually over, despite the bulk of their story happening in the first patch.
I think itâs fairly obvious Sethrak werenât initially planned to be an allied race (they donât even have a generic female model) but Blizz could still potentially add them due to fan demand. If they donât, then maybe theyâll at least consider the possibility of some other reptilian race down the line.
I am in full agreement with the start of what you said. I think itâs highly likely their involvement will likely be yet to come.
And although the models arenât used in Volâdun with the, clearly, female voiced Sethrak, there is a model in differing proportions (albeit slight) found within the model of Sethraliss. The race itself has undergone extensive changes since Beta first launched. Hell, there wasnât even a devoted faction of Sethrak added until a little (couple months) before launch as well! They have already changed so much of what the Sethrak originally were because of the feedback they received on them upon first exposure.
During the BFA beta a Dev came in the game using a vulpera character during the time the hype was happening itâs small but at least itâs something
Feedback could mean many things, iâm sure Ion was refering mostly on gameplay PVP/PVE and bugs which they have been actively monitoring.
Thatâs fair but also thatâs the point iâm trying to make look at the sethrak, the work it would require to make them may far exceed Vulpera, Nightborn, etc.
There has already been a whole lot of work done for the Sethrak towards making them playable. We havenât seen anything new regarding their models nor anything of the sort sinceâŚJuly? The same can be said for the Vulpera. It just so happens that the Vulpera were much further along than the Sethrak before they put the lock down on them.
Sethrak have: had their models shrunk greatly since the original Beta, had Devoted added to the region (was not originally a thing), had Geosets made for them, have the Heart of Azeroth animation, have an appearance already made for talbards resting on their tail. So if youâve done the research and digging, youâll find that there is a lot more to the Sethrak than you might think.
Youâve put in a lot of time and effort for your findings so I keep my fingers crossed for you as well~
