Why Void elfs can be DK?

I was wondering, in the comic of Alleria they said the void really want Shylvanas death because void cant control undead, or something like that

but then we have the Void elfs, also the Worgen doesnt make sense either, their curse supposed to make them inmune

i really think the inmersion of wow is gone since long time ago

just a metter of time until we have gnomes demon hunter because someone in the writing team said, players gonna love it !!

dont trust me ? how do you explain mecha gnomes ?

Blizz gave up on lore for race/class combos. Our characters always existed outside of that anyway.

Undead may be resistant to the Void’s whispers/powers but that doesn’t mean they’re mutually-exclusive. At worst I could see it weakening VE’s connection to the void but it wouldn’t cut them off entirely.

Worgen work sort of like pallies: they’re immune to the generic plague of undeath but not to the more powerful magics that are used to create DKs.

i really think you are making that up, like a fan trying to find an explanation to the things, but the reality is just the writers just dont care, quit caring long time ago

and this is in big part the community fault since keep asking for thigns that doesnt make sense

that is how we ended with Void elfs who are now just Bloor elfs, and from that ovelvo to three dwraf races

the identity of the fations is gone, and now we have a Goblin being the secodn in command of the IV 7

that has all his fairth in a goblin in the horde and even yet he side with the faction that is hunting him

sounds good when you just read few lines but when you see the whole paint, just doesnt make sense at all

Yep, read up on the Defias Brotherhood history. And do Deadmines.

haha, really ?

why on earth we just hear of this guy then ? this is what warcraft needs, more goblins, they are hilarious

The Bildgewater Goblins joined the Horde, it’s even on the Tabard. Can you point out where it’s explicitly stated that Goblin is from our group? There are plenty of Alliance friendly Goblins in WoW. Ratchet, Booty Bay, etc.

As for Void Elves as DK’s. A while back, I want to say Legion, DK’s raised new bodies for more troops. Raising a corpse to Undead isn’t exactly void controlled. More akin to how some Priests can control void power without going crazy.

The lore reason for the death knight void and worgen is that they were raised by the lich king himself, with the helm of domination. DK undead isn’t the same as normal undead, it is perfected undead they bypasses certain restrictions

Also, I think there already was a gnome demon hunter in tbc.

Correct, people should really stop trying to connect lore reasons to race/class combos. They’re completely unrelated.

He isn’t making it up, that was the legit reason given for worgen DK all those years ago. Same with the void elves.

im pretty over lore reasons for classes. just open up all races to all classes but classes like druid for less work in general.

Not really, evokers is entirely tied to dracthyr race.

At this point, I think it’s safe to say the Lore is more like guideline than actual rules.

And as Garry “never drops his shoulders on Mythic” Hellscream once said: “Times change.”

I know in general the Void ain’t a fan of Undeath… but… I suppose as a long shot you could say it’s something to do with Yoggy being ‘the god of death’ and having control over decay magic that lets them be DK.

It’s not a great explanation… but it’s all I could think of. :dracthyr_shrug:

They have a reason, It literally is just because the lich kings magic is stronger than regular liches, especially with the helm of domination. Playable DKs aren’t just undead, they’re perfected undead.

No decaying, no losing ones mind to mindlessness.
