No, it doesn't. You're arguing semantics to back up your points. It doesn't mean "dragons first and foremost."
Because, BY YOUR OWN RULES, we need to have a VIP NPC representative of the class to allow for the class to be introduced. This is what you always say: "we need a BARD hero with unique BARD abilities".If the Evokers are playable versions of Alexstraza, how can she not be the hero that spawned the class?
And despite me and others constantly asking you, so far you have been unable to provide even a single EVOKER hero, much less one with unique EVOKER abilities.
Weren't you the one who argued that "vampiric runeblade = blood magic" and "Icecrown/Frostmourne = frost magic"? Yes, you were.Yeah, but we didn't have any Death Knights from Archerus who could wield frost magic and blood magic.
The death knight class isn't defined by "being human", so this point of yours is irrelevant.Nor did we have any Death Knights that were Draenei, Goblin, Worgen, Blood Elf, Gnome, etc.
You're being dishonest. I can point at WC3 where we have a unit called death knight, and I can also point at several mobs in WoW pre-WotLK that are called death knight, as well as point out a VIP NPC in the lore that is called a death knight.Are we now going to say that the DK class came from nothing?
So far, you have repeatedly failed to do the same for the evoker.
But Onyxia is not an evoker, which is the whole point of your arguments. You argue that we "need a VIP NPC of the class" before it can be made into a playable version, and, like I pointed out, you failed, repeatedly, to provide a single example of an evoker that existed before the Dragonflight expansion.They don't share the abilities of those NPCs. They share abilities with NPCs like Onyxia.
They're not evokers because they fail at the fundamental definition of the evoker class: to be able to use all five of the dragonflights' powers interchangeably and at the same time.So they're not Evokers because the Evoker abilities that they use are not all housed under one roof like the Evoker class?
You wrongly believe you have. Because, again, dragons are neither dracthyr, not evokers.I already have, multiple times.
Because she wants to.Yet Alexstraza does not.
So you like to claim. Yet I haven't seen any evidence that the class is "based on Alexstrasza". And considering we also have the other four dragonflights in the class, that is unlikely.She's the hero this class is largely based on.
It doesn't. Your poll is misleading, because it's asking a different question than your OP's title and thread.The poll says otherwise.
Because you know that when people think of the bard concept, they don't think of the ETC. Again, your entire OP and poll question were manipulative.It came out exactly as I suspected it would.
It doesn't mean anything. Because, as per what the monk class has demonstrated, we don't need a pre-existing "major lore character", or even need a hero at all, as shown by the evoker class.Which doesn't bode well for a Bard class in WoW until a more suitable hero character emerges.
