    So congratulations.
    Blizzard choosing not to focus on certain classes for my favorite race is Blizzard's choice. I just choose not to stomp my feet about it, because I don't mind it.

    To be honest, I'm quite happy with the aspects that they do choose to focus on, because they have spent more time with perfecting the Blood Knights (Paladins), Farstriders (Hunters) and Magisters (Mages.)
    I'd rather have 3 expansive stories than get 10 half-baked stories.

    Do Blood Elf Warlocks look cool with green fire and a green Dreadsteed? Yes. Are Blizzard going to give them some amazing, interesting story? Probably not - likely just tie it to a Blood Elf Magister story.

    To me, Pathstalkers are just more in line with the farstriders, hence why we just see more blood elf rangers than we do blood elf rogues, barring Valeera, who's more Alliance anyway and doesn't truly represent Silvermoon.

    What's the point of this if not just further erasure of BE warlock themes?
    blood mage are not warlocks. the uses of blood magic is different from fel magic. Moreover, it can be said that it would be more related to the magic of death because they use anima.
    kaelthas the most famous blood mage is not a warlock is a mage.
    The warlocks are not they do not represent anything in the quelthalas society, they are there obviously but they are as important as the monks can be.
    You know that the origin of the "verdant spheres" is not Fel, right?
    by the way pathstalker is an organization within the farstriders that is true, in the same way that blood knight is under magister.

    You also dismiss the obvious overlap of the Fire and Destruction Specs. You are making an arbitrary call by saying that Blood Mages are "99%" mage based, when the NPC's we have seen in game use elements of both mages and warlocks. That's simply bias.

    Right now we don't have one class to represent Blood mage fantasy, both mages and warlocks can, because the overlap is obvious. So I don't get your insistence that only mages fit the bill.
    we also don't have a playable class that represents botanists or spellbreakers in the game
    I want to play botanist!

    Not really. They do their maledictions in a basement in the cutthroat district, and hide until dark. Ironically, the Silver Covenant's warlock practises his craft more openly than Silvermoon's trainers do.

    I do think void elves poaching so much of the blood elf aesthetic entitles the BEs to a few unique customisations, but going hard on the fel shit would be silly after TBC's ending and their draconian laws on Sunwell-threatening magic. There are far more relevant and appropriate themes to explore.

    We know that Fel crystals are no longer used now mana crystals are used.

    the warlocks are not important in the quelthalas society I would say and I am sure that you will also agree that the rogues that make up the pathstalker are more important

    It's kinda disingenuous to portray BE warlocks as having the same level of canonical underground feel that humans get when BE's have never gotten flack for openly practicing fel, like at all. You bring up the Warlocks in Silvermoon being secluded, while dismissing all the other BE Warlock trainers just chilling in other areas of Quel'thalas. As disingenuous as making the connection that the lone SC Warlock someone speaks more of a races views of a class than a race that has dozens of Warlock NPC's in the world :/

    And that's a matter of opinion, because there are also a lot of BE players that do not want BE's to further go into the light worshipping aspect of the race. We can all ahve our personal opinions of which themes would be more "fitting" of Blood Elves, but they are subjective, and a long cry from speaking from any authority on what Blood Elves "should" be in the future.

    It's almost as if would be better that blood elves would be allowed to explore several themes rather than being pigeonholed into one and the others diminished.

    See this is the sort of asinine stuff that makes me completely dismiss your opinions. Guy literally has warlock and mage abilities, but to you that means "mage". FFS

    The only blood elf warlocks with any racial flavour literally operate underground and hide their activities until nightfall. I would argue this is a better indicator of their status in blood elf society than the smattering of warlock trainers twiddling their thumbs in the wider world; humans also have a couple trainers breaking the masquerade in broad daylight. Fel was a tool, shoved in crystals to keep the city empowered, and explicitly hidden from the public. Chronicles even flat out states the entire reason the blood elves turned on Kael'thas is that he "embraced fel magic".

    You make my point for me. We know as much about the Silver Covenant's warlock trainer as we do the two or three blood elves performing the same function. They're all non-entities in the story, and it's bizarre seeing you try to pass them off as this essential cornerstone of blood elf society. You could remove warlocks from the blood elves' class pool and not a single thing about the race's narrative or character roster would change. Like Jesus Christ, in fifteen years the only notable Horde-aligned BE warlock is a missable garrison follower. And even she's a goody two-shoes.

    If any more cultural aesthetics get folded into blood elf customisation, I think a full-blown "fel elf" would be wildly inappropriate. Incongruous mutations are far harder to reconcile with the race's story direction than, say, runic tattoos or Farstrider camo would be. Blue eyes/green eyes/golden eyes are a poignant enough "through the ages" signifier IMO.

    I mean, a whole Mage tier was named "Bloodmage Regalia" so...
    What I recall these very few blood mage NPCs seen in action use mixture of both mage and warlock fire spells plus spells not available to any playable class.

    Sure, we've seen them use arcane spells and even frost spells which points out to mage class, but only various drain spells (life drain, mana drain, blood drain) and banish spells, so that leads to warlock. On that matter, I feel that blood mage is supposed to be a combination of mage and warlock archetypes.

    Also don't forget that blood mage siblings (plus a gnome blood mage Kasim Sharim) in Blasted Lands who display extraordinery knowledge of demonic magic.

    Also note that blood magic was something not defined in the game until WotLK and introduction of DK blood spec. Until that time, no blood mage used "Real" blood magic as we've seen later in WoD and BfA. Before that, blood mages were known for their usage of fire magic, which is something that leaves the impression of demonic magic and could be mistaken by such magic. Both warlock and mage spells fill the bill here, so I'm not surprised anyone is connecting that fantasy to warlocks too. Soul shards floating around your character made that fantasy even more approachable.

    As for racials. I don't find the racials personally that intrusive, but I would be cool that we got more ways to customize our racials aesthetics.
    It was discussed here before. Getting option for more pitch black dark entropic embrace, or more astral/cosmic look (perhaps like Wizard Archon spell from Diablo 3) or option to have just slight Void corruption on hands for those who don't like the visual effect at all. There are also several corruption effects from BFA which could be implented too, so there is potential indeed.

    I can think of racial customizations for other races too. Dwarf Stoneform looking more like Earthern, various Naaru runes for Draenei during Gift of the Naaru, Shadowmeld being Invisibility Spell instead of stealth for players who play their night elf as Highborne, etc.

    But it's not proper "Warlock" is it.

    Actual Blood Elf Warlocks are still Warlocks and they don't do anything, all save 1 from WoD.

    But they are not proper mages either, since they Draw to magic considered dangerous or dark.

    Also, I'm not arguing if blood elf warlocks as organisation do anything or not. They were mostly present in Kael's forces, so great number of them were killed. A portion of Sunfury rejoined Silvermoon after Sunwell restoration, so it's possible some of their warlocks rejoined too. I had the feeling warlocks kind of fall under Magisters jurisdiction, but I might be wrong. Even priests seem to reside alongside Magisters, so I always thought they unite all kinds of thalassian spellcasters.

    "...and became the Legions pawn" very interesting how you cut out the phrase by half, as if to obfuscate its complete meaning.

    Sure we even had a Warlock character on WoD speaking of how she was in route of helping Liadrin's forces in Aunchindoun before joining our garrison. As if blood elves hold no prejudices or segregation solely based on class. Man, this whole narrative that the fel was a secret just doesn't add up.

    Almost as if use of fel isn't a signifier of morality! Who would have thunk!?

    Okay but the bit about "you could take Blood Elf warlocks out of the story and wouldn't change anything" did make me laugh. I mean sure, lets just take away the neon sign that literally said "beware of elves now, they are rude now." Like, the whole level of missing the point to not understand the function of BE Warlocks as the bare bone-est signifier that Blood Elves are the edgy version of High Elves and that they will do anything to survive.

    And they did, and Warlocks continue to be a part of Blood Elf society, to the point Warlocks work with Paladins.

    If any more cultural aesthetics get folded into blood elf customisation, I think a full-blown "fel elf" would be wildly inappropriate. Incongruous mutations are far harder to reconcile with the race's story direction than, say, runic tattoos or Farstrider camo would be. Blue eyes/green eyes/golden eyes are a poignant enough "through the ages" signifier IMO.
    And I don't even get why it's an either/or scenario with you lot. The obsession people like you with things like "the race's story direction" betrays a misunderstanding that groups are not monoliths and that there WILL be different point of views. We literally see it with Umbric's scholars, the problem with them is that they were a pointed threat to the Sunwell itself.

    Like for real, I just do not get the notion that a race HAS to have one single narrative direction/motivation. It's entirely unrealistic to believe that. Silvermoon was rebuilt on fel, and thankfully, unlike fans like you, Lor'themar is not going to oust its users as long as they are law abiding citizens.

    So let's retake this if Fel ever gets banned from Silvermoon, shall we?

    In the meantime, I will keep hoping for more Fel, undead and farstrider options for Blood Elves, and you can clutch your pearls if you want to.

    That's kinda my take too -specifically, one of the WoD garrison BE Warlock followers holds the title Magistrix-

    I think it's just kinda wild to claim Blood Mages are proper mages when there's so much more overlap between them as concepts, and at the end of the day, the fact that Blizzard gave Warlocks the Verdant Spheres ability -and now fel shards- makes obvious that the Blood Mage/Warlock link was intentional.

    Indeed, there are so many racial effects that could have a layer of customization. And a lot of them could be added through Glyphs tbh!

    The last time we heard anything about the Sunfury was that they had indeed, returned to Quel'Thalas but they were providing aid to the Farstriders.

    Ok, but where, except the one, Aeda Brightdawn. Where else have we seen, prior and after that, did we see Silvermoon Warlocks working with Lady Liadrin's Blood Knights?
    I mean, the Arathi Highlands was a Magister (Mage) and Blood Knight effort.

    I mean, honestly - do you think me of all people, would be saying this is the Warlocks were a big thing in Quel'Thalas? No I wouldn't, but I have to face the harsh truths, no matter what Blood Elf Warlocks look like and I admit, they do look really cool - especially with green fire, but we have to face the facts. The Warlocks are a tiny olive branch, to the Magisters - the Mages of Quel'Thalas.

    Now my hunter can look like the farstrider she was before the catastrophic accident when she fell into the void trap(speaking of which, racial traps like Nighthuntress Syrenes Arcane traps when???)

    While my Mage's affinity with the void where she infuses Arcane magic with the power of the void is still strong, blasting enemies back to the Twisting Nether.

    Options are nice ey.

    Look, if you have to make the sort of "Okay, but except this one...!" kinda arguments...

    My point is that Warlocks are as valid as any other role of BE society. Nothing suggests they are shunned, nothing implies they have to hide. Aeda herself proves the opposite. Countless other warlock NPC's support it.

    So just like any other way I would like to see BE society grow, I think more fel options would be cool. Note that I also think Blood Elves should get Dark Ranger options because of efficiency, and because Velonara calls "both sin'dorei and forsaken (her) kin."

    That's my point, Warlocks (and fel) are still a part of BE society, and unlocking DH skins would be both a way of showcasing that AND most importantly, showing that Illidari are not limited to demon hunters.

    The only way I don't have the same proposal for Night Elves is because they are thoroughly Anti Fel, unlike Blood Elves.

    Let's not miss the actual source of this whole tangent, which is that I think that unlocking DH and DK skin options would add so much more possibilities, so efficiently, in terms of personal immersion.

    Yess, that IS the mood.

    Okay but let's get silly: Let's bet on those hair colors.

    Under the assumption we are simply getting BE hair colors instead of new -or from another races- These are my picks.



    I know the safe bet would be to pick a red over that light blonde, but imagine if they truly keep red only for Blood Elves hehehe. A riskier bet from my end, but who knows!

    Returned Sunfury were stationed to defend nation borders in Ghostlands, which helped Farstriders in return, because they were responsible for the protection of thalassian borders. It does not have to mean they were merged into Farstriders. Some probably did join them, I guess former rangers most of all. There are also several sanctums, so I can certainly imagine former Sunfury magisters, blood magi or warlocks being stationed here. Most rangers would not probably know how to maintain sanctums properly anyway.

    But this is the problem of Quel'thalas being frozen in time. We could actually see some sin'dorei warlocks doing things, but the whole in game area stays in weird period of TBC/WotLK transition with no updates. Over years, blood elf roles within the Horde was reduced to some Rangers/scouts here, some paladins there and mages maintaining portals to bring real powerhouses (read orcs/trolls/undead depending on the current Warchief) to the action. You see almost nothing else of them, completely ignoring their potential.

    This representation makes poor justice to the original image blood elves had when they were introduced. It's almost on the level of pumpkin farming night elves in Stormwind.

    I really hope they are working on class skins as a means of class customizations for next expansion.

    Yeah, I think WoW could use some sparkles now, and shaking up the classes with a lot more customizations would be a great start.

    And, Star and moon infused skin for playable Night Elves when?

    Legion brought transmog overhaul and some of the best transmogs (artifact skins included) game has to offer.

    BfA brought Allied races as a race customizations.

    Shadowlands brought vast character customizations through Barber shops.

    I guess class customizations are possibly in development too. Possibly by other means then inscription glyphs. At least I hope so.

    Fingers crossed for next expansion.

    I hope they make the "new" hair colors from scratch because the brunette colors on the Belves have this ugly mustard yellow tint to them that looks ugly on the darker skin tones. They need warmer browns.
