Why High Elves Don't Work: A Primer

Oi! That would have been so much better right there. >.<

Going forward though they really should just have a scenario where whats left of the High Elves choose or are made to become Void Elves.

Just… They need to find a way to make it clear that the only two Thalassian Elves left are Void and Blood… or Blood and Void. Blood came first after all.

You? Lying?

You’re no liar.

SC npcs have tended to use bows or stealth. the group is a farstrider knock off right down to their leader giving herself the title of ranger general. i wont deny they were able to attract a couple mages but they are styled after rangers rather then magisters. during legion they joined the hunter class hall and not the mage class hall. the real farstriders joined the hunter class as well. that the SC consists mostly of former farstriders is the most logical explanation. claiming they are primarily a magister organization is a joke and everybody knows it

Exactly, they could have solved the issue, the issue they themselves created by continuing to reuse High Elves once and once again. But they didn’t, because apparently they don’t care enough. Hence, we continue with this discussion until WoW itself folds.

That’s fine, the rest of us know you were objectively wrong with your original assertion. Anything after that was just noise.

It might not be fear, per se, but anybody arguing against the inclusion of something that they could completely ignore between 50 and 95% of the time is most certainly concerned that Blizzard might actually pull the trigger on it.

This post here is from a day ago:

This. The story almost writes itself during Legion:

Alleria sends out a call to Vereesa for aid as she fights the Void beings on Argus and Vereesa responds by leading the entire Silver Covenant and every High Elf mage from the Kirin Tor she can convince to come…and off they go.

Once there, this force - convinced they have the strength of numbers on their side - sweeps into Mac’Aree and engages the Void forces there. Fully committed, they are taken by surprise by Netherprince Durzaan and a host of his followers, bolstered by their own army of beings brought through from the dozens of portals he’s torn open.

Before the beleaguered Elves can mount a defense, they are overwhelmed and Durzaan begins the process of transforming them. Only at the last moment does Locus Walker arrive, with a force of his own, and he, Alleria, and our Champion mount an attack that forces Durzaan to withdraw…the transformation interrupted at the last moment, leaving the Silver Covenant survivors High Elves no more.

Glorious! Like really… There were so many ways for them to do this… but they decided to use a small group of Blood Elves that for all intents of porpoises looked to be scholars, mages, and the like. >.<

Some of these we’ve suggested could be applied RIGHT now too with some modification to end it. lol

Maybe the other option is maybe similar to the Worgen 2 Forms looks. Virtually allowing Void Elves to have the options for 2 forms.

And it would seem Tyrande was absolutely right not to trust them as well.

I still find the story of stepping from Legion into BfA pretty stupid, especially at the end of Legion as well.

Like, one moment we’re heros and then, we become warriors to fight each other.

Why so insulting?

Wasn’t trying to sound insulting.

burning the tree wasnt the original plan

I thought it was Nomi’s plan all along though.

Aww shiz.

Are you Fyre?

Cause you are using the same ridiculous arguments.

-The Silver Covenant is clearly a multidisciplinary Faction. We have literally seen them have all classes, with Mages and Rangers being the most numerous. These are facts.

-The Silver Covenant is a Dalarani organization, and their mages are numerous and more reocurring that their Rangers.

-That the Silver Covenant Rangers joined the Unseen Path does not, in any way, mean they are just a Ranger organization, specially when we have explicitly seen them have Assassins and Warriors as well.

-That the “SC consists mostly of former Farstriders” is a baseless headcanon, they might as well be simply Dalaran elves trained by Vereesa. We really don’t know.

-And again, compared with Umbric’s group, the Silver Covenant already was explicitly a multi-class faction and not just a group of scholars.

That’s a good point. Doesn’t mean all of the Nightborne were ok with it though even if Thalyssra was, the game rarely delves that deep into something that might be conflicted feelings.

True, but there was no outrage…more just like a short moment of shock at the genocide.

where is the evidence they have numerous mages that appear more then their rangers? why was there never a SC mage on the council after aethas was ousted? you do know youre seeing the same group of SC npcs each time right?

the majority of high elf mages in dalaran are kirin tor

So, tell me, where in Surumar does any of those High Elf mages say “Kirin Tor Mages?”

We saw SC battle mages in several alliance settlements in Northrend as part of the seventh legion, most of the SC vendors are mages. The mage guardians during the tournament were mages. The mages on the battleships were also SC. Isle of thunder? full of High Elf mages. Legion? the SC mages march on Suramar.

I’m not gonna say they are as numerous as their rangers, but we have seen them in more places. Rangers and Mages are their most represented classes and. But for some reason, you seem to believe they only have a handful of mages? Just like Fyrebushe.
