I want Lich King Bolvar to become a major character.

A non-raid one, ideally.

>>49555311

I hope he forces Kel'thuzad to serve him. So we don't have to raid him again.
>>
>>49555148
For Pathfinder, Vitalist's (3rd party psionic class in SRD) methods are suspiciously similar to priest specs... one heals, one creates shields to mitigate damage and the last one drains enemy health and gives it to the caster and his party.

Of course, with class details changing in every WoW expansion, it may no longer fit.
>>
>>49555148
Demonology warlock I've had ideas for in 3.5.

With a sorcerer, conjuration focus, and maybe diabolist from book of vile darkness or malconvoker from complete scoundrel.
With a warlock, get to 12 warlock for the "craft anymagic item regardless of spells" thing, grab "scribe scroll," max out use magic device, high charisma, then use tons of scrolls for an army of demons. Planar Binding will act for an actual pet.

Adapt these for pathfinder, I guess?

I'd like that a lot. I personally like the idea of Pandaren, DKs and Demon hunters being factionless. None of them should have any overriding loyalty to a faction given their tasks/place in the world. Bolvar leads the third faction and the remnants of Arthas in the helm lead to sweet banter with Illidan and everyone else.

How many people here have seen the warcraft adventures playthrough or played the game itself?

I thought it was great in that they kept the general feel of Warcraft 2 but expanded on the characteristics of the Horde.

I haven't seen the cinematics, though. If anybody has those, I'd appreciate a link.

Yeah, the Ebon Blade being semi-independent is part of the fun of playing a Death Knight. Plus, I just love there being a somewhat active Lich King again, and him speaking to the Death Knights once more.

Ideally, he'll stay as a somewhat well-intentioned extremist, and stat away from full villainy. At least for a while.

The Ebon Blade kinda leaning into Scourge Lite territory again is fun to me, in part because the Scourge was my favorite faction in Warcraft III.

Yeah, but I feel like Blizzard won't do Wrath 2.0. I think they'll stick with Lich Bolvar being on the okay side for the time being.

At most, if Lich Bolvar does take a turn for the worse, it'll probably just be a 5-man or even a Death Knight-exclusive scenario.

That said, I hope he doesn't become an enemy.

It's either a total retard, or as some here have speculated, a villain in disguise.
>>
>>49562068
What I find more interesting is that some drakes are apparently non-sapient. Some quests around Coldarra and Dragonblight suggested that, and it's not a matter of age: we've seen intelligent whelps.

It may be leftovers from Dragonmaw's brood from Second War, it was mostly red dragons in WoW and in Day of the Dragon, it was mentioned Alexstrasza somehow made the dragons hatch retarded, but it's an interesting thing anyway.

Any idea about rune magic?
did the scourge pick it up from the vrykul?
Is it related to the legion since the legion made frostmourne?
>>
>>49571635
Rune magic is titan in origin. Vrykul are plausible vector to get it to the Scourge, or perhaps they got it from some minor titan facility/artifact
>>
>>49571635
I think rune magic has changed and been forgotten a few times.

I've seen it referred to as safer arcane magic.
Titanic connections, I think around the time Taurens and Dwarves met the dwarves willingly shared their knowledge of runes, Taurens had known about runic magic in the past, but had forgotten them.
I think there's a mention on the tauren chieftan how the chieftan carries around the clans totems on his back which have powerful runes on them.

Runic magic seems to be part of ritualistic spells even if the caster doesn't have any titanic connection or have learned it that way.
Gul'dan put up runes in the tomb of Sargeras.
The high elves had their runestones.

The ogre mages after the runestone of caer darrow placed runes on the ground that exploded.


As for the scourge I think getting it through Vrykul who got it through titans makes sense, but I don't know if you need to justify it that way.
Shamans on draenor like Ner'zhul may have had some discovered some arcane knowledge of runes themselves and used them for rituals.
>>
>>49571635
Runes is natural magic that's always active
>>
Reading on warcraft rpg.

Runes need to be empowered with magic, but they don't need to be drawn or carved by the same person.
So you could if you were a runecaster who had power over people, like serfs, followers or whatever.
You could have them carve and write the runes for you, while you just go and empower them.

Different types of edge.

DK's were forcibly raised into service of the Lich King. We don't see many struggling with the urge to submit into being a semi-mindless killing machine.

DH's willingly submitted to training and self-mutilation, knowing fully well the end result. We also see Demon Hunter NPC's lose their struggle with their inner demon and drink the Legion kool-aid left and right.

People also like to forget how much DK's were hated when they came out.

>People also like to forget how much DK's were hated when they came out.

Which bugs me, as a Death Knight roleplayer. Part of the fun of being one is being widely hated, especially since the Third War and events of WotLK really weren't that long ago. Hell, people in the real world are pissed over things that happened before their lifetime, nevermind roughly a decade ago.

Shit, the Scourge wiped an entire kingdom off the face of the map (very nearly two) almost entirely through genocide and desecration, and made more than half of the Lordaeron continent, about 1/3 of the Eastern Kingdoms, virtually unlivable.

Sure, most Death Knights were involuntary servants of the Lich King brainwashed to do his bidding; some people may get that. Hell, a lot might. But there's still going to be a fair amount of animosity towards them, even if it's a quick feeling of anger of revulsion that's overridden by understanding.

Thankfully, of the 8~ actives in my guild, there is one that is strongly opposed to my character, and the others are universally against him doing anything too necromantic, so there's a little abrasion for me to work off of in order for things to be fun.

As a Warlock player, I feel like the red-headed stepchild of the expansion. We're bashed over the head with the Demon Hunters' EDGE of all EDGE because of their struggles to control the demonic energies inside them.
Meanwhile, Warlocks are going around basically saying "Gib Kool-Aid, pls" to all things demonic and yet treated like it and them are totally normal.
I mean, in this expansion, we take command of our own army of demons. Literal demons, not just the EDGE inside one little demon hunter.
And the game still tells us Demon Hunters know more about demons than anyone. That's happened a couple of times and I just have to shake my head.
To get the Scepter of Sargeras, we have to pretend to join Gul'dan in order to steal it from him. I wish I could join him for real. Fuck all y'all and all your little baby problems with writer waifus and furries and Mary Sue Illidindu nuffins.

That's definitely the Warriors.

I totally get where you're coming from, though. It seems kinda odd and funny to me that Demon Hunters are running around acting like fighting fire against fire with the Burning Legion is some kind of concept unique to them, even those that's supposed to be the the primary point of the Warlock class, too.

>To get the Scepter of Sargeras, we have to pretend to join Gul'dan in order to steal it from him. I wish I could join him for real. Fuck all y'all and all your little baby problems with writer waifus and furries and Mary Sue Illidindu nuffins.

I kinda want to do that with my Death Knight, too, if Lich King Bolvar ever goes over the edge (I really hope he doesn't, though). But that's probably just my nostalgia from playing the Scourge in Warcraft III talking.

I've been told that Warriors in general got the worst of it when it came to their class hall campaign. Vrykuls everywhere, and nothing else.

Not only that but the campaigns were all bugged so they took half as long as blizz intended; except of course warriors.

Still the lore is pretty weak, the weapons fuck ugly, and the rotations are boring.

Try BM hunter. So busted. Literally gaps of 'wait for focus' in the rotation. Pets no longer tanky. Cool down on mend pet. I've tried just about everything at this point. BMW hands down my least favorite now.
>>
>>49575387
I remember Warlock tanking Twin Emperors and Illidan. Those were fun times. I also tanked Onyxia a few times because the MT died. Learned pretty quick to stand near her head or I'd kill half the raid.
>>
>>49576878
Oh yeah, forgot to add, I seem to be one of the very few people that actually liked Dark Apotheosis in Panda. I could actually hold my own against multiple melee characters and being Alliance on a PVP server meant Undead Rogues and DKs were a constant threat.
>>
>>49575387
>>49576878
How did you tank as a warlock ? I only played as warrior / paladin during those times.

Was it a mix of theose warlock armore spells + leech effect from drain life ?
>>
>>49574566
>while Muradin would go on to claim Frostmourne?
Why would muradin claim frostmourne because he didn't meet arthas?
>>
>>49576960
I found the best way for old school lock tanking was going Demo for Soul Link (when it was 30% damage absorption for most of Vanilla) and spamming Searing Pain, which generated high threat. Affliction drain tanking was fantastic in PVP, but in raids, you usually could rely in the healers to keep you up.

didn't Muradin leave with Arthas? How would he not come across him

>>49577097
>didn't Muradin leave with Arthas
No Arthas met Muradin in Northrend.

When they found Frostmourne Muradin realized it was cursed and wanted to leave it.
>>
>>49577097
No they met in Northrend
>>
>>49576960
Speck demo for soul link (which transferred a percentage of damage taken to your pet), stack tons of stamina and spam drain life, basically. There were a few fights in vanill and TBC that required a caster offtank, which usually was a 'lock due to them being durable for casters due to having lots of stamina.
>>
>>49577116
>>49577082
That actually sound really nice.

>>
>>49577080
He went to Northrend in the first place to find Frostmourne no?
>>
>>49577137
Yes but he also realised it was cursed and would have left it alone
>>
>>49577135
Vanilla tanking was super easy, even as a caster. There were very few mechanics that required movement, so you really would just stand there most of the time.
>>
>>49577482
Yeah, but rage mattered then.

Which meant that the most difficult part of any tanks job was the initial pull, after which, most of the tanks job was actually handled by the DPS just not DPS-ing too hard
>>
>>49577482
This, you literally just spammed Sunder Armor + Heroic Strike with the occasional Revenge thrown in.

People could literally just macro-AFK some fights and still do fine.
>>
>>49577165
You're right, but that would be a huge waste of an expedition just to find out the blade you sought and sacrificed for will eat your soul if you claim it.

>>
>>49577534
Yeah. I kinda liked that tells fights actually required the DPS to not be retarded face-rollers the way modern DPS are.
I ambivalent on the lack of berserk mechanics. On one hand, it meant that synergy with the raid was important. On the other hand, some fights could drag on for 15 minutes because your DPS was scrubs. But then, if if Lucifron had had an enrage, I wouldn't have been one of the 4 people who survived to kill him for the first time with my guild.

>Rune magic is titan in origin. Vrykul are plausible vector to get it to the Scourge, or perhaps they got it from some minor titan facility/artifact

They also had the runesword Frostmourne to reverse-engineer it from. That came from the Legion, but that could just mean it's Titan magic handed down by Sargeras.

Which would actually explain how Arthas was able to win the Vrykul's loyalty, if they saw him using crazy Titan magic that they knew he hadn't just stolen from them.

Either way I don't think you need to track the origin.
It's like tracking the discovery of the wheel, it doesn't matter too much and it could've been invented independently by a lot of people.
>>
>>49577610
Plus with no Arthas, his expedition would have had a much harder time getting there. Maybe by the time Muradin reaches the sword to discover it's cursed he's the only one left and just goes full "fuck it!" mode.
>>
>>49584819
Or he goes home.

Doesn't strike me as the type of guy who goes fuck it mode when offered a cursed item.

>>49584640
That's a pretty good one. Very often when we have quests killing a whole broodof dragon we end up in front of a lone mother and her "feral" level minded children.

Did any of the Outland Black Dragons ever go back to Azeroth during Cata? Because the questline made it seem like there were a few, that one with the dragon cult for example that weren't that fond of Sabellion.

So why haven't the humans have a Sigmar like figure yet? Someone to bind the human kingdoms of the Alliance together to one mighty Empire?

>>49585457
His name was Thoradin, and he's been dead for at least 2,800 years. He also didn't ascend to godhood, so it's no wonder the empire of Arathor broke up.

"Neutral" in that in the case that something actually threatening the Alliance's well-being happens, they'll swing Alliance because apparently Sylvanas did something poo-poo meaniehead to her sister.

>Fuck, even DH have Alduis, they have 1 guy that we knew already. That's a link.
Two, actually. They also have Loramus Thallipedes, a demon hunter involved in a long questline in vanilla, where he tasks you to collects items from around the world to fashion a weapon to defeat a powerful dreadlord. When that doesn't work he gets himself possesssed by the dreadlord and seals himself in a soul prison to contain it.
Turns out somewhere between vanilla and Legion the dreadlord got free, but Loramus's soul is stuck entwined with the demon's, and maintains control over its body most of the time (they have to keep him in a demon cage, though, as the demon occasionally takes its body back stand starts yelling about how he'll kill them all if he gets free).

Loramus is/was a cool guy. Rather than being a whiny bitch like Illidan, or spending all his time yelling "WHAT HAVE YOU GIVEN!" at random people, he kicked demon ass and sacrificed himself without a thought to stop a powerful demon (as far as he knew, he would have spent rest of eternity trapped in a soulgem with an angry dreadlord).

One or two of the Black Dragons (probably female one among them) were back in Azeroth during Cata. Sabellian didn't gave a fuck. I bet Sintharia had part in convincing them to go back, and she's likely not Sabellian's mother.
>>
>>49589529
Is he the oldest of Deathwing's kids? or is that Neferian? And yeah he did seem pretty happy just chilling in Blade's edge once Gruul was dead..
>>
>>49588569
Not anymore, with Khadgar hijacking the ride.
>>
>>49589685
It's an interesting question. If we take Beyond the Dark Portal novel into account, when Deathwing took all the black Dragon eggs to Draenor, he took Sabellian with himself, and left Nefarian and Onyxia to get control over Black Tooth Grin/Blackrock under command of Rend and Maim.
In the attack on Dalaran, Teron Gorefiend had a ride on Deathwing himself, while the other Deathknight (I think it was Raz the Soulripper) was carried by Sabellian to retrieve Jeweled Scepter of Sargeras. In a way, Sabellian was entrusted more relevant tasks than children of Sintharia.

Also, he decided to finish out the revenge upon the Gronn for what they did, and I wouldn't be surprised if he took all the whelps in Blade's Edge Mountains under his wings.
>>
>>49555165

Alterac was possibly the most amusing example of Not!Switzerland I've ever seen in a fantasy setting, and a good example of when NOT to be Switzerland.
>>
>>49589847
Yeah he seems to be trusted more. Although it seems like the other two were always a bit off. Maybe Sabellion was simply more with it. Although it would make sense for him to be the oldest regardless.

Was Sinestra always the main consort?

There's a chance the ones who went back during cata went because they all felt the call but Sab wasn't keen on getting exposed to the old gods again so only the ones who didn't like his leadership returned.

>>
>>49596843
The problem isn't them trying to undo the "IDK, he's crazy or something, now kill him and take his stuff" characterization from TBC, but they're turning Illidan into some kind of messianic figure who can do no wrong and was unjustly slain by us foolish mortals who should feel very bad for killing our lord and savior, "the boy destined to end the age of demons".

Illidan wasn't really a villain pre-TBC, but he was definitely an antihero. Even when he was fighting on the good side, he was selfish and uncaring of any colleteral damage, and he's got a habit of fucking things up in some way.
It turning out that the seemingly villanous stuff he wa sup to TBC was done because he considered it to be necessary to fight a greater evil (ie. the Legion) would have been perfectly fine, and bringng him back as the guy nobody really likes or trusts, but who is very good at fighting evrybody's mutual enemy, would have been reasonable. But turning him into some kind of half-demon Jesus sounds dumb as hell and is not at all fitting his characterisation from any previous materials.

He burnt it all within a minute of joining the battle.

And he couldn't even use any spells until he ate his mages. He was basically using a big wand before that, for all the good it managed.

>On the subject of succubi, though, I find it weird that I have not found a single one serving the Burning Legion in Legion.
I'm not entirely sure if it's the case in Warcraft, but succubi are pretty often portrayed as acting as spies and infiltrators for demons. WC succubi's two primary abilities being turning invisible and seducing people, they'd fit that role pretty well as well. However, they're not all that useful on the battlefield, being pretty weak and squishy compared to fel/wrath/doomguards, so now that the Legion is doing an all-out attack they don't have much need for them.

Or at least we don't see any. They they totally should put invisible succubi skulking around Dalaran and other major cities.

There's some in Court of Stars. I guess the toned down on the Succubi now that they have female Eredars.

>Even moreso, we've got this Inquisitor assholes floating around as the Burning Legion's prime interrogators, even though that was the job of the succubi.

One minute before that he had the Moon Guard mages focus their power on him so that he could use some immensely powerful beam of Arcane energy; as far as I know, there was no harm in doing that repeatedly. But NOOO, he had to sacrifice and consume the souls of some of the most powerful mages Elven society had ever seen because he could not be bothered to bind Innervate or Evocation, or to use Arcane Blast to get rid of those arcane charges.

There's actually something about the Illidan scenario that bothers me more than just the team killing fucktard and Xe'ra's shilling.

Broxiggar and Rhonin are there. Their time travel shit is irrevocably canon. And that's fucking awful.

Cata and MoP focusing heavily on the orcs? Sure, Garrosh is an orc supremacist that happily shit talks every other Horde race in front of their ambassadors, so it's no surprise.

Warlords being an orc-and-ogre expansion? Sure, it's their homeworld. And we got more arakkoa lore.

But I draw the line at Broxiggar. When you invoke a shitty time travel plot to have an orc go back to what is arguably the single most important point in Azeroth's history and save the fucking day by fighting fucking Sargeras, you have passed the event horizon of shitty orc-centric writing.

Think about it: The night elves blow up the Well of Eternity to nuke Sargeras and thwart the Legion's invasion after their queen cocks shit up. But now their success is in large part thanks to an orc. Before orcs ever invaded Azeroth.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that there were orcs on fucking Argus when Velen decided to haul ass! And if Broxiggar is any indication, the orcs would be integral to the draenei escaping, too.

I don't hate orcs. A lot of their lore is actually interesting. But it seriously feels like Blizzard can't write anything without shoving an orc in somewhere.

I forgot about that sidequest, if only because Broxigar's existence reminds me of Med'an's.

If Blizzard wrote an elf, would they shove an orc in there?

So, The ebon blade now has it's own reanimated frost wyrm brood led by Voragosa. They are flying in the good old necropolis. The games never really did a good job of showing unit scales it feels like.

Apart from DK who have given A LOT more than pretty much everyone else, litteraly everyone did more than the DK.
Any class cannonicaly has been around for more than 10 years, kicking ass left and right, saving the world before, during, and after BC, while the DH were either jacking each other off or on ice.
Then they get out and say they have done more while they have been asleep when we saved the world from complete destruction 4 times. And that's only counting the end game bosses, and not the countless other times where we single handedly or in a small commitee stopped Armageddon.

Gee, I'm sure you did more than me while you were sleeping and masturbating to your one victory where Ilidan did everything on Demon World#5385, fuckhead.

The guy he sent adventurers off to kill was using a book of demon names to super charge himself. That doesn't seem like a good idea when every demon hunter is a ticking time bomb of fel energy.

It wasn't 'inconvenient', it was 'those fuckers be crazy.'

I am not crazy, so no worries. And if I DID go crazy, I'd want someone to stop me before I undid all the hard work I put in killing demons. So yeah, Altruis is a bro.

That map is amazing.

I do kinda agree, though. Maybe go the Guild Wars 1 route, and instead changing PvP to focus on guilds (making them actual lore entities, too) and independent factions.

All races can join guilds regardless of what other races are in it, factions are race-based but does not prevent content with other race/factions.

It'd be neat.
