    You can see there is like a metal clasp where the shield attached to the shoulder, which seems to be on a sort of track to allow it to slide to the front

    One of the guy's in Hallowfall mentioned finally getting a prosthetic arm prototype working but she turns him down cause she states she has already learned how to do everything in her life, including fighting, with one hand. And if she got a prosthetic now, she'd have to spend who knows how long re-learning how to do everything again.
    realistically getting hit by a large enemy (like most nerubians are) would probably do at least one of these:
    1) break the hook
    2) break the shoulder armor
    3) destroy her shoulder
    i find this design kinda dumb and impratical. getting rid of the shield and only using the other arm would have been better for her. also, doesn't she need help everytime she has to equip it?

    Warcraft is known for having armor designs that wouldn't make sense irl. Like those massive and iconic shoulderpads.

    Yeah, lets not appreciate the thoughts put into a character but argue logic in a game where you can shoot fire out of your hands.

    If Blizzard wants to continue with this foolish nonsense that the Light is Evil, they will simply use the new Emperor of Arathor. A fresh canva, an unknown, that can be developed however way they see fit, instead of assassinating Turalyon or Yrel.

    Rejoice, Turalyon is not going anywhere. Especially since Stormwind has experienced an unprecedented period of stability and peace since he took over.



    Ah Yes, I am so happy, words cannot possibly express how happy I am that nothing will happen to Turalyon and there will NEVER be a Siege of Stormwind. (Instead, we'll have a Siege of Avaloren with Emperor as the final boss)

    the setting having magic doesn't justify dumb design choices unless it's explicitly stated.

    again, what happens if she gets hit and the shield slips out that little hook? lol

    Realtistically?

    Realistically more than half of wows character roaster, including our own characters, should've accidentially killed themselves by stabbing their own skulls with their shoulderpads.

    Character and armor design in this game has never and will never be designed with realism in mind.
    It's all suspension of disbelief and rool of cool.

    So Xe'ra getting killed right in front of his eyes and him just shrugging it off 5 mins later means he was blind af for the light?

    Again, almost every character and armor design in this game makes no sense on any lvl.

    "Shield attached to shoulder" is if anything the least unrealistic character design decision Blizzard has made in recent years.

    This is such a weird nitpick.

    haters gonna hate, people want to be angry with her (for whatever reason) instead of appreciating the nice things.

    Really? The least unrealistic? I don't mind it, I assume the Light empowers her to the point she can do this but this is a damn weird design.

    Why suddenly this one triggered the "unrealistic" in you, and not dozens of other armor sets?

    What about this ridiculous shoulder armor that comes from the same zone?

    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    Realistically, getting hit by a large enemy like most nerubians are while holding a shield normally would break the shield and destroy your entire arm and shoulder and ribs on that side, and throw you into a nearby wall where you'd die from blunt force trauma.

    Taking hits from large enemies is entirely impractical to begin with. Force doesn't magically dissipate into nothing when you block a blow, it's tranferred, as you so clearly understand. I dunno why you're trying to apply physics here, but not with the other 20 years of regular humans casually parrying dragons 20 times their size as if it were a tennis ball being thrown and not several tons of muscle.

    Yes, the least unrealistic.

    Her hanging shield does require more suspension of disbelief than most characters being clad in so much plated armor, that gravity alone should've ended their existence ages ago.

    If Anduin can hold up shalamayne with one hand, a sword that's as long as 2/3rds of his height and as wide as his own thighs, or Alex can walk around covered in spikes and a giant metalic dragon spine on her lower back, or Talanji/Elisande wearing giant plated boxes on their heads 24/7 without it pushing their skull into their torso, then Faerin can dangle her shield without issue.

    Let alone the PC.
    Our armor designs are ludicrous and have never made any sense.
    My main shouldn't be able to raise her hands without stabbing her temporal lobe.

    I just don't like her name. Reminds me of those individuals who go by fae / faer ... too far.
