I wouldn't call them a class.
They were used to pump-up the spirit for war.
I want it?
Just observe class additions throughout the game.
-_-I literally explained how the concepts are different.
Illidan is the Demon Hunter from Warcraft 3. This HotS version of it is nothing but an upgrade and a modern version of it. You've got to be mad to call it a different concept. You can't really expect it to work the same way as it did a decade ago, could you?
I do it, as well. Though it hints more at what class, from the WC3 heroes, is coming next rather than what Blizzard uses to determine which classes are added. For example, if any classes are added in these expansions: from the Light/Void theme of BFA, i infer a Shadow Hunter class ("The Shadow Hunter walks the line between light and darkness"), and from the Dragon themes of Shadowlands i can't, really, infer a Dragonsworn class, so i'm left with either an old Dragonman samurai sketch (Blademaster) or Dragonman Alchemists from Cataclysm. If you ask me about prominent figures, i infer a Dark Ranger & Priestess of the Moon class from Sylvanas and Tyrande, with either a Sea Witch or Warden as a third supplement.How about watch what Blizzard is doing right now with the game, which characters and concepts are they adding? Like how Shadowlands literally has expanded the idea that music on its own can have magical power?
Sure thing, buddy.Mostly the sources outside Warcraft, really.
Let's just ignore the whole Pandaren lore Blizz had. They had the race, almost, ready for TBC, for crying out loud. But, you think they didn't have enough sources of their own.
So, what does it mean? Covid?Being chinese themed does not mean "martial arts monk."
Come on... be realistic.
Again, not really. They had the pandaren, and had this idea that the pandaren are about ales and are Chinese-themed. More than that, came from outside sources.
Yeah... nothing martial artsy about that, huh?
That's brainstorming stage. Nothing concrete or on a playable level.We don't have to, because Blizzard themselves told us: "the runemaster was one of the three runner-ups" means that the runemaster made it up until the point where they decide which concept to realize into an actual class in the game.
"Pandaren are formidable monks, following their philosophies to the letter and perfecting their martial arts as they see fit." - from the RPGBut the majority of the class' concept has been taken from outside sources. The basis of the class itself (the 'monk') is also sourced from outside Warcraft since the franchise did not have oriental style monk characters.
Yes, Mistweaver and Windwalker were taken from outside sources, but you can't point out where or relate them to a known character, like you can Brewmaster.
Cooperation, that is.No, he hasn't. All they have argued about is that Z'rali is now the jailer of Sire Denathrius. Nothing more, nothing less.
Plus, forsaken were hurt by the light, as well, yet Blizzard managed to make them priests.
Of course it is. They took it from the Runemaster.
Nowhere have they been depicted as such, and the whole point of them being martial artists is unarmed combat.No one is arguing that Death Knights use martial arts, however you’re arguing that Runemasters don’t use blades. Where’s your evidence?
The martial arts.What Runemaster abilities were placed into the Monk class?
What Runemaster abilities were placed in the Death Knight? you can't name them. You can just say runes.
You can't take from outside sources.
But, if you wish so...:
Sigil - an inscribed or painted symbol considered to have magical power.
Death Knights used Sigils as their relics.
Because NPCs, rarely, represent their classes properly before the class is added to the game. Especially if they're some unknown, negligible ones.
*facepalm*Are we to believe that WoW planned to create two monk classes? It simply doesn't add up.
No, they didn't.
They combined it into the overall Monk, itself.
No need be naive about it.
I like it that you stole my WC3 prediction concept and made it your own.
Runes.Really? What abilities from the TTRPG Runemaster were brought over to the DK class?
Nothing elf-centric about Humans and Forsaken.
Giving it to everyone without a justified explanation is the shallowing of lore.
By name.literally pointed out the thunderlord rangers and the draenei rangari, in the very link you provided, stop pretending
Draenei Rangari, as i've said before, i can see being viable. Less so Thunderlords, who i see more as Beastmasters. Plus, they don't have a dedicated group for such Rangers. Though, i could always be wrong.
Relax.which you define? who the fuck are you? its for you to define or decide, they are rangers, period, you liking or not
If they are teaching dark rangers, every race can be, if void elves get, every other race should, period.
This is about your personal taste and headcanon, put that in your head, you are full of biases
Rangers could, also, mean Power Rangers. I mean, there are Gnomish Elite Aerial Rangers, but they are more of a pilot/Tinker group than your traditional Ranger.
You see, there's a need to distinguish between the different Rangers, because basically everyone could be called one, but they are very different to the original meaning.
Teaching is how we got Pandaren martial arts and beliefs distributed to every race. This is not uniqueness. This is not lore. This is just lazy-ass writing. The Human Monks should be akin to the Scarlet Crusade ones. Draenei Monks should be akin to the Auchenai ones, and so on. If not in animations, then in lore.
What? where?
*excitement rushing though the body as my prediction might be correct* (drawing upon Sylvanas' raid boss abilities as well as HotS)
Hallelujah!
I might be right!
Typical Teriz...
Always the party-pooper.
