Why don’t Forsaken carry deadly diseases?

With all that research into plague and blight, you’d think every Forsaken is a super spreader. Getting anywhere into 10 yards of a Forsaken should contract some highly contagious but slow lethal disease.

Instead of hurling blight bombs, Forsaken should be hurling corpses into enemy cities.

I just want to hug people and make friends. Not blighted corpses and skeletons. :pensive:

Bring back Priest racial traits.

Allow Forsaken Priests to use Devouring plague once more.

Re-skin Lightforged Draenei death racial trait to fit undead.

The whole deal where Priests had unique racial spells is one of my favorite things about Classic that I wish was kept. Makes the Priest fantasy feel awesome.

Dead people can’t get sick I suppose.

I dont think the rest of the Horde would want to fight next to some highly contagious disease ridden comrade.

I guess because it would deteriorate their bodies even further?

Strongly agree, it makes me want to make multiple Priests just for them alone.

But there is a ton of races that can be Priest now.

That is a lot of work and balancing to do.

Well the flesh they have has been restored to life, so a Forsaken can technically get sick. The magic that brought their flesh back also sustains the flesh. That’s why Forsaken can die and that’s why they’re returned to life and not just a skeleton, which is soulless.

That’s why they wear gas masks when handling the plague, silly.

they used to back in WC3.

my tinfoil hat theory is that the only reason they don’t anymore is so blizzard doesn’t have to change too much on the Chinese client.

I mean, just look at how scholomance ended up on the Chinese client.

I carry the deadly disease known as bad RNG.

Huh? But the Pandarens are having their own plague right now.

Because they live in society with non-undead people.

Like, you can’t do these things if you’re a super spreader:

You never played Warcraft 3 have you?

I mean death knights have a plague aura but it’s only for pvp which is lame. So many cool, thematic talents are behind pvp…

That’s because all the undead are made of turkey bacon

Gameplay reasons. The same reason they aren’t super weak to holy magic
