And Void Elves are… really 90% of the same thing, so there’s no reason that they should be left out. We know that much of Eversong Woods is maintained by nature magic, too. We’re moving on.īlood Elves are really easy because, again, we’ve had Blood Elf Druids since The Burning Crusade. “But how can an undead being channel life?” Same way they can channel the Light, which is supposedly anathema to them. Ditto Gilneans, especially since the Forsaken have full access to Gilneas at this point, and I’m willing to bet there are some corpses there for Druidic purposes. ![]() It’s not as if Kul Tiran characters who die suddenly forget being Druids we’ve had them roaming around before. There are Kul Tiran Humans who have the more slender build, there are Gilneans who haven’t been afflicted by the Worgen curse, there should be Human Druids. But whatever right now, there’s no longer any justification for it. So, sure, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense that Humans couldn’t already be Druids if Gilneans and Kul Tirans (both of whom are human) were being Druids for ages. So what can justify all of those?įirst things first: This column is operating from the point of view that while you could convincingly argue that later developments have made prior events kind of nonsensical, the lore right now is the lore that is. Yes, I’m sticking specifically with non-hero classes here and excepting the Dracthyr for obvious reasons that still leaves 230 combinations in total, and 49 of them are currently unavailable, all of which are under four classes: Paladin, Warlock, Shaman, and Druid. Seriously, a better answer would have been “we really don’t want to make all of those additional druid forms.” But because “narrative” is the reason we were told, let’s go ahead and play with it and provide narrative justifications for all 49 combinations of the game that currently aren’t available. ![]() But part of this is simply because the narrative justification is not actually difficult. Part of this is because it’s not like we had some important narrative justification for making Gnomes able to play Hunters or some big revelation in 10.0.7 that explains Lightforged Draenei becoming Monks. ![]() As I implied in a recent post about the most recent Ion Hazzikostas interview, the line about making sure that there was a narrative justification for adding “missing” class/race combinations in World of Warcraft irked me.
