Because there is no frost zone in the Shadowlands.
Looking at the Frost Mage, we have Bone Chilling with an image of a skull, Chilled to the Bone with the same image, and Frostbite with another skeletal image.blizzard has already said they are unlike mages so they aren’t using mage frost and Amal’thazad and a few other Quest givers calls what he teaches a dark art.
It acctually does, because necromancy is more than just raising the dead. It's absorbing the lifeforce of another being and spreading diseases and decay.The word Necro has nothing to do with warlocks, blizzard went out of there way to separate the two groups and the closest you can say the two come into play is when warlocks were outlawed in the horde so Gul’dan used his dead warlock souls to make DK’s gave them necromantic powers instead of fel.
Do you read what you send to the very end?I can only assume your quoting this just because it say's shadow bolt in it?
Here's how warlocks function according to legion, they don't use death magic, don't deal with actual diseases, don't deal with necromancy.
"Affliction warlocks are masters of shadow-touched powers, but unlike shadow priests—deadliest when pushed to the brink of insanity—these warlocks delight in using fel forces to cause intense pain and suffering in others. They revel in corrupting minds and agonizing souls, leaving enemies in a state of torment that would see them undone in due time. Even the most battle-hardened warriors can be deceived, landing blow after blow against the warlock, only to succumb to their suffering as their very vitality is siphoned away by the dark spellcaster." - that's an aspect of necromancy, shared by Forsaken and Dark Rangers.
So, they aren't represented?there Necrolytes's not warlock or priest blizzard went out of there way to make them a sperate group with a separate origin and separate power source.
Unless of course you want to say all groups must fall into the ingame classes in which case dark rangers would of course be hunters.
To show you it was Fel that raised them.You Literally were talking about infustion.
You don't believe it?again stop reading Plain text on wowpeida with no citation's and taking it at face value.
Okay. And i explained to you that i wasn't talking about souls. I was talking about life draining.There really isn't further context as what the dev was replying to was delated so it's just the same quote in a tweet.
You asked me what i didn't understand.
You base everything on class halls?
Hardly. It says the Bronzebeard dwarves might have learned from them, not that they are them.The same way Dark skinned Dwarf customizations and their options to play as Mage and Warlock classes (which were added to represent Dark Irons in the first place) exists alongside an actual Dark Iron Dwarf allied race.
Dwarf (Mountain King) and Tauren (Chieftain).What does that even mean?
Please tell me, what single race represents Fury spec? What single race represents Arms spec? This seems like a completely arbitrary value you're equating to specs. I'm calling bullshit on this.
Count the number of races and see if they outnumber specs.
He claims it will be about the elements.Then that is vague as fuck and could be up to complete interpretation. What expansion concept would you say has nothing to do with Cataclysm? Cataclysm covered so many topics that you could connect it back to every existing expansion, and every future one as well.
If we're talking about 11.0 and all the possibilities, Cataclysm could easily be connected to Time Travel, the Emerald Dream, to Old Gods, to Azshara, to Light vs Void etc. Like, honestly I could connect any current expansion back to being a Cataclysm 2.0 too if we're playing with vague connections, especially if you're implying BFA has anything to do with being a Wrath 2.0
And overall, the guy had zero predictions on future class, which is the topic here. Not what vague connections a future expansion could have to Cataclysm (which literally can be anything).
"Each dragonflight treats its dragonsworn differently, and grants them slightly different boons for their service."Yes, and gameplay reasons like this were predicted and speculated on in depth, with the only difference being in which colors were matched with others. The concept of pairing two or more dragonflight themes into one spec was absolutely accepted into Dragonsworn concepts though, and you can see literal examples of this in multiple Dragonsworn fan class concepts.
Through discussion, the idea of having 2+ dragonflights being represented in one spec was normalized and well accepted among people who were actively discussing the concept. It was more widely accepted than fan concepts that had 3-5 specs representing individual dragonflights.
"It’s possible for a servant to dedicate his life to a flight without any real notice or recognition — especially for the shorter-lived races, such as humans."
The RPG lore talks about pledging loyalty and serving one Dragonflight.
And as a spec?I did not say there isn't enough.
I was making arguments for a standalone Dark Ranger class and argued that they could easily exist alongside Hunters and other classes as recently as 2018. My opinion has since changed with how Blizzard themselves have regarded Dark Ranger as an broad identity rather than a clearly ambiguous one that had room to be expanded into its own class, as well as passing them over when the idea Setting and Story presented itself. Its chances to be a standalone class in the future dimished significantly, to the point where I no longer believe Blizzard is interested in taking all the gameplay and story concepts for a standalone class and making it real.
Everything has been pointing at them being a much broader identity that merely represents Darkfallen Hunters. I mean as we're edging closer and closer to 9.2.5, the evidence continues to grow in this direction. Interviews openly talking about customizations instead of denying them outright. Datamines of quests involving Dark Rangers. Hell even in the last page here, someone posted Texture updates for Dark Rangers like Delaryn Summermoon with red eyes; tweaks they haven't done since 8.1. It shows that these characters are coming back in 9.2.5 in some form; that they have a part to play somehow. So with all this information, what reason do I have to expect a standalone class?
I personally have no reason to expect a Dark Ranger as a standalone class, therefore I do not have the same hangups that you do when discussing them as potentially being anything else. That doesn't mean I don't maintain a *low chance* that they could still be their own class. Cuz otherwise, what do you see of all the talk and evidence by Blizzard about Dark Rangers being customizations and the datamines of 9.2.5? You really think they're not doing anything here?
You say Dark Ranger would be a customization option, but what Wardens or Night Warriors. Would they, too? And i'm not talking eye color. I'm talking gameplay.
No, i'm saying she can use them to replace her Val'kyr.So are you talking about playable Dark Rangers all being Mawsworn?
Could happen as well.How would that happen. Like, is there literally zero reason for her turning good? We just assume it because it's possible?
Because I could say:
'But, like all evil characters who remain evil, she will become a raid or dungeon bosses and get killed off'. There's nobreason for me to assume she would turn good. Every evil character turned good had a reason to do so, and I've been asking for any indication or theory for that happening. Otherwise, an evil character remains evil.
This 'what if' goes both ways, and you already know where I stand when discussing Sira Moonwarden. I'm open to discussing other possibilities, but you literally can't even give me a hypothesis to discuss. You literally don't know how it could even happen. I'm not what you expect other people think when you can't even present a theory for how it would actually work.
For example:
"We could have a Starcraft themed expansion. How? I don't know. But it would work"
Would you be convinced? Would you consider this legitimately discussable? To me, there is nothing to plausibly discuss, because it doesn't present what it means or how it works. There is no speculation being presented here, just very vague concept left to anyone's interpretation.
You know what? I'll be more happy if she does turn into a raid boss. Doesn't nullify the option of Wardens, just like Arthas and Illidan didn't.
Of course it is. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called magic.
You still have science alongside it.
