Like what lol
Apparently they make a deal with the elements?
What the heck does the air want from a goblin? Lol
Like bruh
Chill
When you think of a goblin, you don’t think of an environmentalist lol
They’re greedy not tree huggers
So like what lol
Why
Lol why genuinely curious why those exist
Genuinely curious
If you play through the shaman class hall, there is a lot of negotiations needed with elementals. Shaman are not tree huggers, at all.
Goblins make the best shaman tbh.
We’re gods at making oil rigs.
Siphoning elements in our handmade Totems are kinda the same thing, eh?
…
But in all seriousness, your guess is as good as mine. I wanted Monk training, but evidently we’re not “tranquil” enough…
…pfft…you gimme a well-balanced ledger with everything in the black, and I’m at peace with the world, ya know?
…tranquility…pfft…
What do the elements want from Bro-Orcs?
We’re the OG’s
Shamanism is in goblins roots. In the early days before goblins became super intelligent, they were very tribalistic and living with lots of exposure to zandalari trolls. It makes sense how they can be shamans. Plus modern day goblin shamanism seems to incorporate some aspects of tinkering in it.
If you look at everything from the “Blizzard hates Shaman” lens, it makes a lot more sense.
Shaman are unique in that they’re the only class in the game that has to make a bargain with an intelligent being to get their power.
Priests and paladins call on the the light, but the light isn’t a real being and it doesn’t care whether the thing you worship approves of your actions or even exists.
Warlocks make deals with demons but that’s for the assistance of the demon itself. Their fel spells are just spells, and they could be used without the demon’s cooperation.
Even Druids just learn how to Druid from Wild Gods. They don’t get any kind of power from them. Just knowledge.
Shaman on the other hand need the constant approval of a being other than themselves in order to have power. Which means they need to make a deal. Goblins are the kings of one-sided deals.
I don’t think shaman are environmentalists.
They are more like geologists - they understand the elements and can know how to best exploit them. Where do most geologist work irl? Fossil fuel companies.
Goblin Shaman make perfect sense!
Aight when you think about it, Goblins are the elements most reliable servants. Those little buggers are willing to anything for anything valuable - and how how do you think it is for a fire elemental to make a diamond, or for a water elemental to whish up a pearl? The elementals don’t care - they just want their bidding done. As goblins usually don’t want anything more than riches, they don’t have to worry about being killed for their power, being used as recources in the creation of an ascendant, or ESPECIALLY about any of their servants morals.
Goblins are the best elemental servants. Just not in the scope of the world. Remember that the elements, if they weren’t balanced, would be more than happy to destroy the world at any time.
Right they pollute the air and water they blow up earth and use fire to destroy stuff.
Why on earth would the elementals work with them xD
The elemental plane has their own politics and way of life. That involves dealing with mortals. Mortals like gold.
Makes sense to me.
It’s exactly how it sounds. They made a deal.
What was that deal? Well, you’ll have to ask a goblin shaman to find out.
Nah, draenei do because they use it for the correct purpose. Defending Azeroth.
A goblin will make a deal with anything if he think’s he’ll come out ahead.
because there is money in cleaning it up, so why not use free labor such as elementals to clean it up?
Correct according to who?
Elementals aren’t like mortals. They have more basic needs that don’t revolve around organic life.
For example, Fire just wants to burn, and goblins can certainly provide fuel. Night elf trees, for a start.
Wrong, they refused Gul’dan their power because of his murderous intent. They have moral to some degree.
Goblin Environmental Engineers.
You have one goblin creating a windmill; need to make a deal with the elements to give you wind for your invention.
