BE Paladins and Shattrah

[Gregorius]

It's not Draenei shaman that suck - Draenei have been shaman since they were first introduced. It's the Draenei Paladins that are the horrible mismash of craptacular retcon. That's all wrapped up in their new origin and their pewpew spaceship.

The Naaru in general were an entirely ridiculous idea. They had to be strong enough to repel the Legion...but too weak to really fight them? And they're just captured so easily? I guess the point is that all their amazing powers are psychic or something, which is how they're so technologically advanced despite an inability to move? At all?

I actually don't see what's wrong with the Blood Elves being Paladins on a general...I mean, they used to be "good" and all, and they knew magic first. Maybe it's just circular logic, but I don't see why Paladins *have* to be "good." Arthas was tainted, anyway. I wish the Blood Elves couldn't be hunters, more. Aside from the lore implications (haha), it would be so awesome for them and the Tauren to be totally mutually exclusive in terms of classes.

And technically, NE males are the Druids and females are the fighters, although this obviously goes ignored in the game.

Would it have been so terrible to leave the Draenei as "the broken"? Put their starting zone near the portal in outland, say the NE have taken pity on a band that want's to break free from Illadin, and gave them a flight point to the portal, with their 10-20 area an adjunct to the SOS. Remove Pally/priest, add rogue. The A'dal can still be powerful beings drawn to fight the legion and restore outland... they just didn't give the Draenei a spaceship or save them from the Legion.

I'm going to go ahead and admit that I wouldn't be playing a Draenei if they were ugly.

One thing I'm missing is any motivation for the BE to go after Kaelthas, other then T5 chests. I haven't played through the whole BE start, but as far as I've seen its all "Yea Kaelthas!" If he really has the cyper of damnation... So? I'm dedicated to the survival of the BE nation back on Azeroth. I could care less what A'dal has these scryer traitors doing.

I dunno, I don't perceive the Elves as a society/nation so much as an enormous group of individuals who really are trying to keep themselves alive just another day. I haven't gotten there yet, but I think the point is that Kael isn't really looking out for them anymore.
