Blood elves are literally just humans with longer ears, so No, it makes perfect sense. Especially when ugly gremlins like the goblin and gnomes can be Warriors too.
In fact I would say that the Thalassian elves, ironically, look CLOSER to irl humans than the actual humans. Irl, it's way more normal to encounter a human with a lean body build like the elves', than the massive body build that the Stormwind or Kul Tiran humans have. Those people look on steroids.
So I never understood why Blizzard thought it didn't make sense for Thalassian elves to be Warriors, since they are not frail or anything. As I said, they look like irl athletic humans with a lean but well-built body. They don't look skinny or scrawny at all.
And of course all of this can be said for the Ren'dorei too, as they are Void-infused Blood elves.Last edited by Varodoc; 2021-01-04 at 06:17 PM.
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!

Blood Elves could always be Paladins and Death Knights, why would Warrior be off the table from a lore sense?

All the high elf lovers would love to have a word with you. As blood elves are literally high elves.

A warrior is, litterally, just a strong angry guy with a sword. E V E R Y O N E can be that, even gnomes.... Originally Posted by Narwhalosh Whalescream

Why do people complain about Blizzard listening and giving them what they wanted?
If you didn't make the complaint back then, then don't bother whining now.

Anastarian was a warrior and he was the king of Belves at some point. I get that people still can't get over Bloodelves being in the game and the most popular race after 15 years in WoW but this is kind of silly.

No, why?
Doesn't take much to be a warrior you basically get angry and smash stuff with anything happens to be in your hands , but not warglaives, it takes thinking to avoid sticking the pointy parts in you eyes and as a warrior that's a no-no.
Basically we're the palas that didn't make it.

Warrior is the most basic bitch class in this game. Obviously anyone can be it, including silly elves.

If that were true there would never have been the thousands of threads asking for High Elves to be given to Alliance. Originally Posted by prwraith

I liked that they used to be the only race that couldn't be warrior pre-Cata which made them more unique. Blood/high elves were always known for their magic, Light-based skills and archery and I don't think they should have been good at everything. Being a warrior would mean to be a lot more rugged and tough which isn't fitting for a blood elf. An argument can be made that they had warrior units in WC3, but they were their weakest units.

They had spellbreakers and warriors in w3 and ofc they had paladins since their introduction in bc. Like I said it was nice twist, but it realy didn't made much sense to begin with. They tried to make it seem more like a society thing, but in the end they obviously couldn't stay behind with the only race not able to be a warrior. It was dumb in practise realy.
