Why are undead healable by priests and paladins?

[Jatarri-zuljin (Jatarri)]

Reminds me of a scene in Johnny Dangerously with Michael Keaton.

Character is blind and running a news stand. Stack of papers hits him in the head.

“I can see! I can see! Who an I?”

“positive emotions” in combination with the pain, would make them leave the Forsaken faction, which was pretty clearly evil.

I think this would be an interesting way to introduce a schism within the Forsaken. One faction moving away from Sylvanas and the BfA/SL events and moving towards the Light, and the other faction more or less embracing the way things are and moving away from the Light.

I had to look up the movie reference, and I’m glad that I did! I’ll have to watch this now Thank you!

[Jatarri-zuljin (Jatarri)]

That movie is awesome! Keaton, Divito, Piscipo, Henner and the rest.

Blizzard, I want to holy light undead players into oblivion. What gives?

@Vior-emerald-dream

Wouldn’t they be damaged instead?

@Kittredge-azjolnerub

Yeah, Forsaken and Death Knight stats would have to be front loaded to compensate for no healing or interaction with the light. It’d be a bit absurd, but probably pretty interesting.

Here’s an idea: holy spells damage undead, BUT shadow spells heal them.

Affliction warlock and Shadow Priest are now a top-tier healers for any group tanking with a blood DK.

You’re welcome.

Only if I get back my permanent sleep, fear, and charm immunity.

Ha, could you imagine if they could only be healed by shadow priests.
