Even warlocks are a stretch, given their history!?
Dude, Orcs are in lore the OG warlocks. Warlocks are practically fel-corrupted shamans. Gul'dan and Ner'zhul are the poster boys of warlocks (and bad decisionmaking). Both are Orcs.
Maybe you confuse it with the Blood Curse. Breaking free from that had nothing to do with cutting Orcs off from warlock powers, though.
Have you ever played Warlock on the Horde? Orgrimmar NPCs are fairly hostile to you and one admits that the entire class is on thin ice and only welcome in the Horde by the grace of Thrall, who only actually wants them there so they can be watched instead of left to their own devices.
He’s not saying Orc Warlocks don’t make sense. He’s saying playable Orc Warlocks don’t make sense.
He’s saying playable Orc Warlocks don’t make sense.
He's literally not saying that. Apparently he meant to say that. Which is rough, because it's rather easy to express that sentiment, yet there is not a single word about the distinction between what should be possible for a race and what should be playable for a race.
Are you the same guy on an alt account, or why do you feel so strongly about this?
You can agree with both, though. Orc Mages seem stupid to me. Orcs are shamanistic. Even warlocks are a stretch given their history. Undead Spriests make sense but not Disc or Holy and certainly not Paladins. Forsaken are destroyed by the light. Yes, I’ve fought Four Horseman. That’s a retcon being used to justify a nonsensical addition.
Tauren Paladins I’m not a fan of. But I think Gnome Warriors are dumb too. Let’s tank Onyxia as a 2.5’ 45lb garden ornament with a 1h sword roughly the size of a butter knife.
But at the end of the day it’s a fantasy game. All of the lore is made up, rarely consistent and often contradictory. Let people play what they want. It’s not a serious game with serious lore.
What you're saying is straight up not in the comment. Is this some weird gaslighting attempt, or are you lost and think of a different comment?
All good, the crazy part is that your quote even reads like an edited version of one of the sentences in the comment replied to. So I was starting to question my sanity.
