    I wouldn't say that the Dark Rangers are the best Rangers in the world (Sylvanas may be, but that does not mean every Dark Ranger is), but the part that Combatbutler mentioned is supposed to be contrarested with the use of Shadow Magic (That's the whole idea of it).

    Again, not saying that they are the best rangers in the world, though IMHO i think they would be better "assasins" than most rangers.

    I can understand horde work with shady shit (and backfire in their faces) since they do that since classic, but alliance ? It was a very painful throat shoving process that need to be fixed asap

    yes shadow magic should improve them, but Before The Storm came along and showed us a twisted version of forsaken that never existed in wow before, a weak near death crumbling forsaken who can't improve in anything in fact they just exist to suffer a very painful long death
    so yes lore is f8cked up (surprise) and dark rangers can both be some of best rangers (old lore) or total shit rangers since they are undead (BFA lore), they can use whatever serve them in that book

    Not sure if i totally agree with that idea, i do think that everyone is able to be corrupted, but i wouldn't call them a ticking bomb, though, to be fair, i don't think she's a ticking bomb in the sense that she will fall into corruption, is mostly that she would "spread" corruption, like with the Sunwell or the creation of more Void Elves (Those are ticking bomb, they don't have her expertise, some may, but not all)

    I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure BTS only laid out that being a normal undead is like that. I don’t think it comments on the higher levels of undead like DK’s, those who went though the dark mirror process or stronger undead like sylvanas.

    It could very well be that most dark rangers loyal to sylvanas are those of the none decaying kind.

    It seems i have to reread that book, cause i mostly remember it being like that for those that have... "resigned" themselves to their state -being those many that appear in the interchange in Arathi-, cause many forsaken just would "replace" what they needed as time passes.

    I don't think she's that bad. I mean, we've had so many people in the Alliance taken over by shadowy stuff, and none of them ever seem to have put on any kind of resistance to it. Not even the Light-aligned ones. Two archbishops of the church of the Light have fallen to the Shadow with apparently no means of stopping it or anyone else realizing it before it was too late. At lest now someone can actually teach how to resist the Shadow and in Legion she even made a potion to actually bring back the minds of Broken that had already been consumed by the void. Which.... somehow got fogotten and Wrathion had to create a new one and now gets to sell it all as his very own unique invention, but still.
    I think she is as much a danger as everyone else. A little closer to the void, because she has it in her, but a little more resistant because she knows how to deal with it, so it's even. And she may be able to teach a thing or two about it, before she falls (if she does).
    What makes her a sub-optimal pick against Sylvanas in my opinion is their relationship. Her emotional baggage may become a liability in several ways, which is why usually no one gets sent on crucial missions where they have any kind of personal axe to grind or that concerns an actual close relative.

    To be honest, I don't think that's likely to happen... because at the end of the day we already see what would happen thanks to the Visions of N'Zoth. So it's unlikely they'd literally do a carbon copy of that in the main timeline. If she does succumb to the whispers eventually, the consequences will not be so devastating and she might snap out of it.

    So at this point I don't want to say that Alleria and Umbric have plot armor... but since we already see them going mad in the Visions of N'Zoth, I doubt Blizzard will play with that idea again.

    Im still waiting for the Lightforged vs Void Elves short story that should've happened as soon as they joined the Alliance

    Im not even asking for full blown civil war.
    But are you telling me that the Lightforged who even captured Alleria because she was dabbling with the void aren't going to react to a whole race of Void crazies alongside them?
    This world don't give us nothing. It be our lot to suffer... and our duty to fight back.

    The Lightforged had no problem with her being there in Legion, not even after she 'ate' the naaru. Why would they suddenly have a problem with Alleria now? I mean, the other voidelves may be more of a problem, because they were not actually in control at the time they got turned and only snapped out of it when Alleria came along (but that is true for the void-consumed Broken as well and no one had a problem with them in Legion either), but that is none of the Lightforgeds' concern, is it? They don't actually interact much with them.
    I also don't think that the voidelves are suddenly being liked by everyone and there is no mistrust or something towards them. I mean, it's made obvious to you if you roll one, that you may not be greeted with open arms by everyone and you get politely asked to leave the cathedral, should you go there ^^. But that's also more of a Stormwind thing, not a Lightforged thing.

If i had a loss like that on my book, id talk a bit more slow.
    I think it's more fitting for his temper to flare. I just don't like how he's being babysat by "new son", or they can't explore his surly personality in different ways.

    an undead body decay and dies with time, the dark mirror process is only done to Danuser i mean Nathanos, and DKs are totally different story since they were risen personally by LK himself
    Of course in BFA we get a joke of LK rise rest so - as i said - the state of lore isn't clear at all, but the most recent, they should be mediocre at best for ranged attacks

    The Lightforged stood there doing nothing when some half-demon elf blew up the very incarnation of the Light they worship with Fel magic after he refused her blessing. Being this passive about their faith is par for the course.

    the lightforged are already kool with the regular draenei, the same race that literally run away and left them to fate worse than death because they are cowards and caused them to have a miserable life full of suffering for 10k years
    why would they be against void elves? of all races of azeroth they should have an agenda against most, it would be the draenei themselves
    blizz seriously missed a very good chance to give draenei model to horde races as they did with nelfs, not to mention it doesn't make sense lore-wise (not that they care about it), lightforge were openly hostile against draenei, but Argus fall and they forget literally their entire life ?
    I said 10k by mistake, the number is unknown, it can be up to 50k since draenei are immortals, how can u forgive someone who fucked u for 50k years after u meet him with few days or months at best!?

    he was in self (cringe edgy mode) defense as everyone saw, and Tyralion still raised his sword against him but if that sword failed, they probably don't have anything powerful enough to stop illidan
    or mostly blizz didn't give a fuck about personality and a race traits and just wanted the rule of 'kool' again to dominate

    Yea, because of Xe'ra and we did see how sane that thing was. Xe'ra wanted to outright kill her for not renouncing the void and Turalyon talked it into only locking Alleria up. And after she got free with the crash no one gave a shit that she just hung around. Not even Xe'ra

    Lightforged are not bad people by nature. Extremists like Xera and Yrel bring out the worst in them, but Turalyon is able to calm their darker desires. Thats why they have no problem chatting and teaming up with void elves.

    the process that the valkyr used on nathanos is similar to the one used on dks, the main difference should be only the fact that the lk has comparately "infinite energy".
    anyway golden's retcon not even survived the first patch, in nazmir there are clearly forsakens that have the old body sturdy as fuck
