Playable Ethereals, how would you introduce them?

Ooh, ooh! Lemme try too!

Inorganic Body: Increases all resistances by 1% and reduces the duration of physical damage effects by 15%.

Expert Digger: Mining skill increased by 15 and allows you to mine additional ore.

Trading Specialist: You receive 100% more gold for selling items to vendors.

Nether Surge: Allows you to burst forward with extensive speed, dealing arcane damage to enemies caught in your path and knocking them away. 2 minute cooldown.

The Last Resort: When your health reaches zero, you will shed your wrappings and armor and emerge in your unbound form, allowing you to fight additional 15 seconds before dying. This can only occur once every 6 minutes.

before i read The Last Resort it soundt like a mining goblin lol, though also on that wouldve reduced the Last Resort to 5-10 seconds else every tank would be Ethereal to this day

I LOVE the last one!

I think I'll add all racial ideas to the first post ^^

Edit: all racials added to first post

[Tauren]

alliance only

[Azalar]

alliance only

Please no D:

[Deleted]

the best way to make sure they'll never get any additional story and development is to give them to the alliance

so neutral it is

[Deleted]

the last racial sounds like the ghoul thingy dks used to have at the beginning of wrath

That's sad, but also true. The Alliance has quite a few great characters that are dramatically unused ingame, like Tyrande, Moira or Mekkatorque. Their appearance in Pandaria felt more like a cameo than anything.

Yeah.

I wonder how did this thread get revived. But I think it fits the French leak of Ethereals becoming playable. Duh.

Neutral race, please. Gimme gimme gimme.

As to the people saying they can't wear gear, uhh... what? They just put it on over the bandages. I also love the idea of them having pseudo Egyptian Death Masks for faces, and maybe wigs made of colored bandages. It would allow for a good level of customization to set them apart and make them more 'humanoid' in appearance when dealing with other races.
