So void elf + demon hunter = most powerful character possible?

[Nomads]

Let's set aside the ridiculousness of void elves for a moment and say a player makes a void elf demon hunter. Lore wise they are imbued with both fel and void magics. Shouldn't this make them one of the most powerful beings in Azeroth?

How about a lightforged death knight? Would that even be possible? 7

Void Elves can't be demon hunters.

Also doesn't Void and Fel have a dangerous reaction with each other

We know Void and Light do. Poor Turalyon can't stick his light forged cock into Alleria's voidy vagina.

That moment when not only they can, but they've been making void light babies for millennia.

Hmm, i'm not sure how much xhul'horac was cannon in the sense that void and fel mixing cause explosions.

It's hard to say, but xhul'horac did exist as a half void half fel being - therefor it doesn't mean it'll explode the host anyway.

Void elfs should be able to be DHs, just not able to start at level 20 for obvious reasons.

They'll need to figure it out for dark iron dwarves no reason they cant for velfs.

Also if a blood elf dh studies void and gets outcast then they're a velf dh now...so

lore-wise it could make sense, needs to be implemented ingame in a way that makes sense if they do.

I would go void elf dh in a heartbeat. I'm bored of being a nelf.

What would that monstrosity even look like?

EDIT: I GOT IT!! It would be a purple version of Dobby from Harry Potter.

Void Elves can't be demon hunters.

An elf who was already a Demon Hunter and turned into a Void Elf after would be both at the same time.

It should be possible, although currently the option isn't listed on the Allied Races page for BFA.

sounds like the makings of a great fanfic.

The ultimate edgelord. You can't get more edgy than that.

Demon Hunters are essentially already their own race, being a Hero Class with their own entire faction, being limited to Horde and Alliance only because of gameplay restrictions. No demon hunters were sitting in Silvermoon messing with that void cube thing trying to gain another metamorphosis form. A demon hunter's reaction would not be the same as a blood elf's reaction to the event which changed the physiology of the void elves, the void and fel would react violently to one another and probably kill the dude.

There's anecdotal evidence to suggest this (Xhul'horac). However, we never see big explosions when Void and Fel interact anywhere else so my assumption is that it's due to Xhul'horac's origin. Based on the fact that he becomes unstable when fully absorbing both portals and has trouble the weaker he gets holding one form for very long, I suspect a viable lore reason is that he was simply an imperfect amalgamation much like the first twilight dragons created by Sintharia (who were themselves mergers of different magicks).

If Void and Fel always had adverse reactions when they came in contact, Shadow Priests and Affliction Warlocks would be the bane of the Burning Le... *looks at Antorus logs* Nevermind. But seriously, fel-infused enemies would just be constantly exploding as they were assaulted by the Void magic of locks, spriests, and even sub rogues. It seems that if stable sources of Void and Fel come in contact with one another nothing spectacular happens.

Void elf demon hunter honestly is a VERY viable thing to happen, given that it's existing sin'dorei that become ren'dorei. Also Warlocks as a class already harness both void and fel, so why can't a demon hunter become a void elf and do the same? The biggest hurdle is for gameplay reasons; namely that a void elf demon hunter cannot feasibly have participated in the DH starting zone for timeline reasons (like Panda DKs). They could do the starting zone as a BE and become a VE when they transition to the current world, but that isn't the only issue.

I will say: If void elf demon hunter becomes a thing, I'm main swapping.

About as viable as a forsaken void elf.

Well, they could have been. Illidan's training took place during the Burning Crusade. They very well could have taken a trip to Silvermoon during their training, turned Void Elf, and went back to complete their training when all the crap during the starting zone took place.

[Katie45]

where did this meme of void and light blow up each other started, we have disc priests that use both

[Razion]

Well, the elves did exist at the time of Arthas dark massacre across the Eastern Kingdoms. It's not like training under void energies is entirely dependent on Valeera. There were a lot of elf priests who would have been killed by the Scourge during that period, who would have been experimenting with shadow. If they were risen under the Scourge, while far-reaching to say they achieved a state of power to become a Void Elf... it would be inaccurate to say it's "impossible".

The Demon Hunters in Legion and beyond were those who had been imprisoned by the Wardens after the events of the Burning Crusade expansion, ergo none of the Void Elves could possibly be Demon Hunters due to the timeline. Moreover, I sincerely doubt that the Illidari would continue to recruit more Demon Hunters, especially those already facing the temptation of the Void, following the Legion expansion as the threat of the Legion has, more-or-less, been put to rest.

I also want to put out there that the quest Dabbling in the Demonic implies that at least the fel rune - Dregla - requires the arcane rune - Talar - and the death rune - Taam - to be present to stabilize the spell; however, Talar is unable to work in tandem with void magics, and the shadow rune - Xiur - states that it will have adverse reactions with arcane magic (and rituals with multiple types of magic). It's not direct proof, but I think it would at least indicate that arcane magic and void magic is volatile when used together, while fel magic needs a catalyst of some kind (arcane magic) in order to stabilize it. I think it would be fair to conclude that using fel and void/shadow magic in tandem may not work for beings which would be adversely affected by unstable fel magic, such as the Void Elves.

Like I said. They could have turned Void Elf and went back for training in time to be captured by the Wardens.

Except they couldn't, because Void elves don't exist until after Alleria teaches them not to go insane...

Except, as said, they couldn't. The elves in silvermoon which have been exiled don't get turned into void elves until after Alleria finds them and guides them on absorbing the void.

The proper question would be

"Does that even work?"
