Lets make a thread - i'll start

Party member using reflecting prism was an orc male, looks like it put my female trolls skin on his model. He also used the item right as my casting animation was done, no idea how easily re-creatable this is with others but uh. yeah. Im not sleeping tonight.

She’s shy , show her some love

Honestly it's like RuneScape 3 community all over again who just destroyed a unique server I feel like the classic community here is doing the same thing. They're doing everything in their power to destroy this and make it classic which it's not it's wow forever.

I cleared all 9 tier-11 chambers as a solo mage. A lot of them twice due to previous bugs. It was a bunch of work over hours.

I got to Kindo'jan. I took a flask, applied all the raid buffs, ready to burn through my attempts to hopefully get the Let Me Solo Him Achievement.

I did 3 attempts and it got to bed time. I logged out, but hey, this is literally marketed as a thing that you can play as your own pace, figured I'd pick back up tomorrow.

Turns out that was a fucking lie, when I logged back in I'm outside the Labyrinth. I went back in - no chambers completed, would have to start over from the beginning. I didn't even get to go to the treasure room for my previous 9-chamber tier 11 clear.

I feel like I'm being punished for being excited about this content and trying to clear it. This has been a completely miserable experience for someone who tries really hard to stay positive about the current state of the game.

You all talk as if the Alliance still has the same leaders it’s always had.

Varian is dead, and Anduin is just a shadow of his former self.

Malfurion and Tyrande are no longer the leaders of the Night Elves, and Shandris doesn’t have half the charisma they do.

The dwarves are led by a trio, and Moira’s son, the supposed future king of the dwarves, is just a teenager. The only person with less charisma than him is Arator, who manages the impressive feat of being a 40-year-old bore who acts like a 17-year-old.

Genn Greymane has effectively retired and vanished, and Tess Greymane isn’t even a Worgen.

Velen is the only Draenei who has been truly relevant to the story since Maraad’s death, a death that served merely as a stepping stone to build up Yrel, only for her to be discarded into a secondary Horde questline just to justify an Allied Race.

Mechagnomes are a bad joke.

Jaina and Velen are the only ones among the current Alliance leadership worth anything, much like Thrall and Lor'themar on the Horde side.

The Lightforged Draenei are led by a human, which is ridiculous; it completely erases their own agency and hands the spotlight over to yet another human.

So, in this regard, I actually agree with the Horde players. By the Light, I hope Turalyon dies, maybe then Blizzard will finally make Captain Fareeya the leader of the Lightforged, give her a proper character model, and provide her with at least some focus and development. I’m so tired of this whole "Light and Shadow family" soap opera; the entire Alliance storyline has revolved solely around Turalyon and Alleria ever since Legion.

Just wanted to share. Achieved the 50k mark yesterday.

Started playing on WOTLK, off times every now and then. At the end of Dragonflight i just started collecting stuff for Taivan with something around mid 20k achievement points and somehow i kept attached to it. Lets see how far it will go

Sargeras.

This is some shit I would have expected out of someone like Dimensius. But here you have this giant void monster throwing hands with a space god . The balls it takes to do that. Respect to whoever the hell this void dude is.

https://www.wowhead.com/news/rexxar-shop-pack-removed-from-battle-net-store-383464

The absolute state of this game where even the cash shop items are bugged lmao

Post title says it all. Blizz pushed some hotfixes, which I appreciate. But I'm still experience run-bricking bugs I reported back in the PTR.

Current bugs I'm still dealing with:

- Run ending when I die once despite having multiple lives left

- Floors still not existing, apparently

- Boss deaths still not registering

- No rewards after bricked runs because I can't interact with Kinduru

- Enemies appearing in the loot chamber still attacking me after I die, sometimes leading to a permanent cycle of dying repeatedly in the loot chamber in a combat I can't escape.

- Valeera is made of paper skin and glass bones, but is ready to go to war

Given that it seems like 90% of the development effort for this patch went to the Labyrinth, this is honestly pretty shocking. I know things have been bad lately, but this feels like a whole new level. I genuinely don't know how Blizz thought this was acceptable to release. Genuinely might just unsub until the next patch/expansion.

This is at the pillar near the portal to Harandar. Click the wreath

Sorry I didn’t get a screen shot. But how is this dude so massive. I checked buffs and nothing. Both druids pictured are night elves.

Warcraft lore is packed with Rogue archetypes, but in game every Rogue plays and looks almost the same regardless of race.

A racial archetype for every playable race, focusing on how we could distinguish them through race specific visuals (only visuals), unlockable through Glyphs, or a new customization option like a talent tree or something else. The outcome matters most, not the way of unlocking them.

This is a list combining lore and some of my ideas. Let me know if I missed some lore, or feel free to drop your own ideas. Or tell me it is a list of bllsht. For visual clarity, these customizations could be toggled off in rated PvP. Additionally players could choose to enable individual customization options rather than being forced into all of them at once.

Warning: because every playable race can be a rogue this will be a long list ! !!

At the bottom of this post, you'll find links to my other race/class combinations, as well as a step by step breakdown of how I created these concepts.

Alliance

Human (SI:7 Agent)

Mathias Shaw. This is a no brainer for me, although for the outlaw spec the rogues of the defias brotherhood or ravenholdt would be better than the agents of SI:7.

• Barbershop: Ability to change your model to the “thin human” model introduced in Battle for Azeroth.
• Stealth: Also adds a midnight black cloak on your back and head
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A small crossbow shot
• Stuns and Blind: Leaves a dagger with a “wanted” note on your target for its duration
• Distract: A small stormwind banner on a pole
• Shadow Abilities: Are now almost transparent in colour to be even more stealthy

Dwarf (Hidden Circle Thief)

Hulfdan Blackbeard. The hidden circle is a dwarf rogue organization, for me the dwarves are treasure hunters so a rogue could go for a thief.

• Crimson Vial: A pint of dwarven ale
• Stuns: When you stun a humanoid enemy it will also drop (only visually lootable) gold 
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A dwarven small blunderbus shot
• Pick Lock: When you successfully pick a lock you also shoot a victorious blubberbus shot in the air
• Pick Pocket: Add a money pouch on your belt for a brief time, the pouches can be multiple if you successfully pick pocket more 
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens are replaced by a blunderbuss shot
• Distract: A small smoking fake titanic relic

Gnome (Covert Operative)

Kelsey Steelspark. The members of the Gnomeregan Covert Ops are special agents, using gnome technology to fulfil their missions.

• Crimson Vial: Instead of drinking a potion, you patch yourself with a first aid band 
• Stealth: Surrounded by a smoke 
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A small gnome handcanon
• Poisons: Your poisons will have a radioactive green colour
• Shadowstep: You step through a smoke
• Sprint: Your feets release small thruster flames
• Distract: A gnomish mechanical cube releasing gas
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens are replaced electric small energy bolts

Night Elf (Sentinel Shadowblade)

NPC Sentinel Shadowblade. Maiev Shadowsong. Lonika Stillblade, Illiyana Moonblaze I was considering the warden with their toolkit of abilities as a rogue archetype but they are a mix of more than one playable class. But I decided for a lore wise safer version of a rogue in service of the Sentinels. 

• Crimson Vial: A vial with moonwell water
• Stealth: A dark purple stealth reminiscent to the shadowmeld racial ability
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A quick bow shot
• Blind: Sentinel owls poke the eyes of your enemies
• Shadow Abilities: Are accompanied by fine moondust
• Shadowstep: step through a dark night cloud
• Sprint: Leaves a trail of fine moondust behind you
• Distract: Emits light purple moondust
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens are replaced with smaller sentinel glaives

Draenei (Star Sailor)

Star Captain Barabos. NPCs Star Sailors. This is only a very lightly touched relatively new lore to the Draenei rogues, the star sailors in Exodar with Star Captain Barabos listed as a rogue trainer. I also considered the Rangari because they are scouts and hunters, but I didn't find any Rangari that are listed as a rogue. This is only my speculation but they could have learned to phase shift from the Ethereals from their space journeys.

• Crimson Vial: A purple draenic brew
• Stealth: You phaseshift like an ethereal
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A purple naaru tech pistol
• Poisons: A luminescent light purple poison
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens are made of arcane/void energy
• Shadowstep: You step through a nebula like shadow
• Sprint: Leaves phase shifted decoys
• Distract: An arkonite bomb emitting purple smoke

Worgen (Greywatch Infiltrator)

Tess Greymane, Greywatch Infiltrator. The new queen of the Gilneans Tess Greymane is a rogue. For the name I choose the NPCs mentioned earlier. For attacks there will be an option to attack with your claws instead of your melee weapons. So a worgen rogue is combining the victorian gilnean feel with ferocious attacks.

• Claw Attack: You can hide your weapons and attack with your claws
• Finishing Moves: You finishing moves will have distinct ferocious bite animations
• Stealth: Performed on all four
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A compact crossbow shot
• Shadowstep: A wolf pounce
• Sprint: Performed on all four
• Distract: You throw a gilnean rose
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens are gothic glass pieces

Void Elf (Voidblade)

NPCs SI:7 Scouts and Blacktalon Assassins. They are transformed by the shadow, so it's no surprise they are good at slipping in it. 

• Crimson Vial: Drinks a mana tea
• Stealth: You become only your shadow on the ground
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A fast bow shot with void made arrows
• Blind: Creates a circular shadow around your targets on the ground
• Poisons: Transformed into purple void infused poison
• Shadowstep: You travel on the ground as your shadow
• Sprint: Leaves on the ground a trail of your shadow
• Distract: A bomb that creates a small void vortex
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens: Throws shurikens made of void energy

Lightforged Draenei (Lightveil Artificer)

Zuronar. Zuronar is a rogue that created the “light flashbang” so my idea is that the lightforged draenei rogues will be rogues that use arkonite crystals and light to blind and also hide from their enemies.

• Crimson Vial: A golden liquid in it
• Stealth: You appear shining with a golden light, but for your enemies you are still invisible
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A naaru technology gun 
• Blind: A flashbang light blind 
• Poisons: Your poisons have toxic yellow colour
• Shadowstep: You step through a blinding light
• Sprint: You leave small light sparkles behind you
• Distract: A golden bomb emitting light sparkles
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens are made of shiny yellow metal

Dark Iron Dwarf (Grim Saboteur)

Dark Iron Saboteur. Hulda Shadowblade. Dark Irons are shadowy and dark so there are many rogues. But they have no archetype, so I mixed the saboteur with a made up lore that the dark iron rogues come from the Grim Guzzler tavern as the primary base for them.

• Crimson Vial: A bubbling effect vial
• Stealth: Accompanied by a thick black smoke
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A dark iron pistol 
• Blind: Also ads a small burn effect on your targets
• Poisons: Orange lava poison
• Shadowstep: You step through the ground with the help of a mole machine
• Sprint: Leaves a black smoke behind you
• Distract: A small erupting magma bomb
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens: magma disks

Kul Tiran (Proudmoore Privateer)

Flynn Fairwind. The Kul Tiran rogue is a Pirate. My idea is that a kul tiran rogue is a pirate that is loyal to the proudmoore loyalty. So I chose a pirate from the Freehold (because it has the most pirates active in one place), who is now a Proudmoore privateer. 

• Crimson Vial: A bottle of rum 
• Stealth: Performed in an upright position where you act to be as much slim as you can
• Kick: Becomes a haymaker-like punch
• Poisons: A sea green colour
• Shadowstep: Accompanied by a splash of water
• Sprint: You leave behind small barnacles and seaweed
• Distract: A clam with a shining pearl
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens: Shurikens are small grappling hooks
• Barbershop: You are able to add an eyepatch on one of your eyes

Mechagnome (Nanoslicer)

Didn't find any. So I made up a concept that the mechagnomes that calibrated the machines that cut the body parts of the gnomes and replaced them with mechanical parts. Very good in anatomy and inflicting pain, with some help of technology to hide from their enemies they were secret agents of the rustbolt resistance. The name itself comes from a melee attack of some mechagnome NPCs. 

• Crimson Vial: A fast injection 
• Stealth: Surrounded by a transparent holo cube that makes you invisible
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: Shot from a gun hidden in your hand mechanical replacement
• Blind: very small drones hover above your targets
• Poisons: orange/black rusted poison
• Shadowstep: You break a holo wall
• Sprint: You fly very low above ground, with the help of feet thrusters
• Distract: A holo projection of yourself
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens: Shurikens are saw disks

Neutral

Pandaren (Wu Kao Assassin)

Taoshi. Tenwu of the Red Smoke. Wu Kao discipline of the Shado-Pan includes hunters and rogues. I imagine a pandaren rogue as a ninja-style rogue.

• Crimson Vial: A pandaren brew
• Stealth: Performed with arms extended behind the torso while leaning forward- ninja style
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A great shuriken toss
• Finishing Moves: Have an animation of different kicks
• Shadowstep: Dissolves into a red smoke
• Sprint: A trail of fine red smoke behind you
• Distract: A red smoke bomb

Dracthyr (Blacktalon Agent)

None. This is only my speculation but Wrathions Blacktalon agents are rogues of different races that serve him, so why not include some dracthyr, who have the abilities of a visage form at their disposal and Wrathion teaches them how to perfect it even more. I am aware of the different dracthyr weyrns that have scouts among their ranks, but the blacktalons sounds to me a great mix of new and old lore.

• Barbershop: You can have visage forms of any playable race of your chosen faction, with some dragon scales elements added, dragon horns or dragon pupils. 
• Crimson Vial: A vial with liquid flame
• Stealth: In your dracthyr form, you can retract your wings to your back so they will not be visible.
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A fast dragonbreath that creates a magma bolt
• Shadowstep: A fast wing assisted pounce (changes you to your dracthyr form for the duration if you are in your visage form)
• Sprint: Leaves a molten ground behind you
• Distract: You burn with your dragonbreath a small patch on the ground that smolders
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens: The shurikens will have a dragonwings design

Earthen (Unbound Skulker)

None. The unbound are earthen who left the edicts of the titans. Again only my speculation, but maybe some of them go even further. They ambush the nerubians, use stealth tactics and the nerubian venoms to bring them down.

• Crimson Vial: A hot geyser water
• Stealth: When you stand in stealth you also transform into a solid stone statute with moss
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A small stone crossbow shot
• Stun: When you stun an enemy it will get coated in yellow paralytic nerubian poison for the duration of the stun. 
• Poisons: Can also randomly change to yellow, red or blue colour, a study from the poisons of nerubians.
• Blind: You throw gemdust into the eyes of your enemies
• Sprint: Leaves gemdust behind you
• Distract: A stone cube that shines with gems
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens: Are made of solid stone

Haranir (Rootstalker)

None. My idea is that the rootstalkers are the haranir that traveled the most through the rootways, to observe the outer world, but when an enemy revealed them, they used deadly tactics to bring him/her down, so that no one would discover the existence of rootways or haranir. Nowadays these rogue-like combatants see that such a fighting style is common among the other (playable) races.

• Crimson Vial: An indigo blue root potion
• Stealth: Instead of going transparent and shadowy you look like the terrain you walk upon, but you are still invisible to your enemies.
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A fast shoot from a gnarled bow
• Shadow abilities: They become more dark blue 
• Poisons: Your poisons apply small roots on your weapon
• Shadowstep: You step through a swirl of leaves
• Sprint: You leave small leaves behind you
• Distract: A spore that emits smaller spores
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens: Throwing stars made of gnarled wood

Horde

Orc (Shattered Hand Assassin)

Thega Graveblade. Garona Halforcen. The order of the shattered hand serves as a horde organization of rogues. They are assassins that use brute strength a little bit more than other races' rogues.

• Crimson Vial: Orcish Grog
• Transmog: You have the option to hold your offhand dagger weapon with its blade facing ground
• Stealth: You are in a more red hue colour stealth, collecting your rage for the strike
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A fast orcish axe throw
• Blind: You throw black powder from smithing into the eyes
• Poisons: Your poison abilities can leave a green poison scar on your target for a brief time 
• Shadowstep: A red rageful mist is added
• Distract: You throw a smoking skull on the ground
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Small orcish axes

Troll (Darkspear Throatslicer)

Jes'rimon. Darkspear Throatslicer. Not much lore is stated, but I imagine a troll rogue as an expert on venoms through revering the poisonous spider and snake Loa, but also the darkspear troll loa of cunning Kevo ya Siti.

• Crimson Vial: A purple mojo flask
• Stealth: A shadow tiki mask appears on your face when you are in stealth
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: You use a blowpipe with darts 
• Blind: Spiders are on your target heads
• Poisons: Critical strikes with your poison abilities attracts small spiders
• Shadowstep: A mist appears behind your target when you use this ability
• Sprint: You leave poisonous footsteps behind you
• Distract: You throw a spider nest
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens: Sharp small tiki masks

Tauren (Shadetotem)

Boarton Shadetotem. There is also Perith Stormhoof, not a typical rogue but more of a messenger that delivers important messages from the chieftain called a Longwalker. Not very original but I named them shadetotem. 

• Crimson Vial: A mulgore green tea
• Barbershop: Option to cover your hooves with leather to be silent
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A small javelin throw
• Blind: You perform a heavy stomp that throws mud into your enemy eyes 
• Shadowstep: Leaves a small crack on the earth.
• Sprint: A bull rush animation
• Distract: Throws a small smoking totem
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens are sharp wooden boomerangs

Undead (Deathstalker)

Belmont. Great lore for the deathstalkers, with the help of the royal apothecary society they are one of the most deadly rogues.

• Crimson Vial: A green healing ooze in vial
• Kills: When you kill an enemy a small puddle of green blight will appear around its corpse for a brief time.
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A compact skeletal crossbow shot
• Blind: Your targets also vomit green liquid
• Finishing Moves: Are accompanied by a gruesome laugh
• Sprint: Leaves a trail of shadow behind you
• Distract: a smoking skull
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens are bone daggers

Blood Elf (Pathstalker)

Pathstalker Lontral. Also Valeera Sanguinar is a blood elf rogue but I have not chosen her as an inspiration for the archetype. There is also the famous murder row in Silvermoon, but no archetype or strong lore figure is present here for the rogues. The blood elf rogue trainers are called pathstalkers, so I chose them, as rogues of the farstriders.

• Crimson Vial: A mana potion
• Stealth: Looking more like the hunters camouflage ability
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A fast farstrider bow shot
• Blind: Blinds with a sun tipped arrow
• Poisons: A green (poison) / blue (arcane) colour
• Shadowstep: Added small arcane particles
• Sprint: Leaves a light yellow trail behind you
• Distract: An arcane torrent bomb
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens are farstrider arrows

Goblin (Bilgewater Opportunist)

Marin Noggenfogger. Renzik the Shiv. These two goblin rogues could make a goblin rogue archetype. Marin Noggenfogger is a rogue and one of the biggest alchemists, and Renzik the Shiv who served the SI:7 and was second to only Mathias Shaw. But they are not of the bilgewater cartel who joined the horde.

• Crimson Vial: A noggerfogger elixir like flask
• Stealth: You sometimes toss a coin when you are in stealth
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A goblin small hand rocket launcher
• Finishing Moves: Your targets also toss (un-lootable) gold coins from them
• Poisons: Poisoned targets will drip drops of poison from them 
• Shadowstep: Steps through a mist of toxic green smoke
• Sprint: A gentle toxic green smoke will stay behind you for a brief time
• Distract: A purse that spews out fake coins
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens are sharp fake coins

Highmountain Tauren (Waystalker)

Branami Darkhoof. Totally made up lore, but I imagine them as stalking defenders of the highmountain settlements against the drogbar. They use the mist and winds of the terrain as a way to hide themselves.

• Crimson Vial: Spring water
• Stealth: A transparent version engulfed in small winds and mist
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A quick skyhorn crossbow shot
• Blind: Performed by a small flock of highmountain eagles
• Shadow abilities: Will have a white/grey windy appearance
• Shadowstep: Step through a gust of wind
• Sprint: You leave a small torrent of wind behind you 
• Distract: A small highmountain totem
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Blades that are made of grey horn bones

Nightborne (Duskwatch Infiltrator)

NPCs Duskwatch Infiltrator. A secretive intelligence organization within Suramar and beyond, that through deceit captures and eliminates the enemies of the Nightborne.

• Crimson Vial: A Nightborne arcwine glass
• Stealth: A mage-like invisibility 
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A pistol made of arcane energy 
• Blind: Blinded by an arcane flash
• Poisons: deep purple arcwine poison
• Shadowstep: A blink-like strike
• Sprint: leaves small arcane sparks behind you
• Distract: An arcane bomb emitting ripples of arcane dust
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens are made of arcane energy

Mag’har Orc (Shattered Hand Mutilator)

Kargath Bladefist. Unlike the modern shattered hand, these rogues of the mag’har orcs still undergo the selfmutilation process of cutting their hand and replacing it with a weapon.

• Crimson Vial: A green orcish liquid
• Barbershop: Ability to change your left hand into hooks or blades, when you do so, your equipped weapon will not be visible on this hand.
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: If you used your barbershop option for hand replacement, you will shoot shrapnels from your hand replacement
• Stun: When you stun an enemy it will also be chained in crude chains for its duration
• Poisons: When you apply a poison it will also coat your hands
• Shadowstep: You throw a shadow chain on your target and you drag to it.
• Distract: A small bomb emitting green orcish poison
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Orcish hooks

Zandalari Troll (Madcap)

Khar'vaxal the Cracked. Zandalari Madcaps are rogues that bring chaos, madness and unpredictability to their enemies. Also the Madcap’s Outfit is a rogue armor set. My idea is that they use red chaos mirror images to bring chaos to the battlefield.

• Crimson Vial: Vial with a gold liquid
• Stealth: Also a woven madcap mantle is added on your back when you are in stealth
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: You shot a dart from a blowpipe
• Finishing Moves: Also summon two red spectral chaos images that attack your target with you, without any additional power
• Poisons: Have a red colour 
• Shadowstep: A red chaos decoy appears behind your target and you switch it your position
• Sprint: You leave chaos decoys behind you
• Distract: A chaos decoy of yourself
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens have a zandalari skull form

Vulpera (Bilge Rat)
Captain Eudora. Omi. Vulpera rogues that were under the Bilge Rats banner, a pirate crew of captain eudora, are now rogues that serve the vulpera people. They combine their seafaring skills with their desert scavenging nature like Omi, which is not officially listed as a rogue but with her looks and abilities she is clearly one.

• Crimson Vial: A pirate keg
• Stealth: You are also swirled by fine desert sand
• Pistol Shot / Between the Eyes: A simple smaller pirate pistol shot
• Blind: Throws a sand into the eyes of your enemies
• Poisons: Your critical strikes with poison abilities attracts snakes to the your target
• Barbershop: You can add a pirate eyepatch on your eyes or a duststorm mask on your face 
• Sprint: You leave fine sand behind you 
• Distract: A small fake pirate chest that releases sand
• Shuriken Toss / Shuriken Storm: Shurikens are sharp calcified snake bones

My concept: step by step:

First I need to find a name for the archetype, because I have been a wow player for a long time and a lore junkie, some of the archetypes, like an undead deathstalker are simple to find out.

Then comes the race/class combinations that blizz have established very little or any lore at all. There I was searching for an NPC to give me an anchor to what to do next. The best sources I use are wowwiki and some reddit posts.

When there is no NPC or lore figure at all, I continue to make up a name according to the characteristics of the race, like a mechagnome are great engineers and have mechanical body parts, vulpera are resourceful scavengers etc.

When I get the names and NPCs/Lore figures for every race, I do a small description text to every race/class combination, to help me imagine what the archetype should look like.

The next part is the hardest, the visual customizations. And here in most cases I need to run my imagination wild. In this Rogue concept, the majority of the visuals are pure speculation with some lore or made up lore by me, to back it up. I mainly targeted the stealth, poison and shooting/throwing abilities.

There are some visual customizations that are really lore wise accurate and are not present in the game, like a night elf priest using holy light with a moonlight appearance, or a worgen warrior using claws instead of weapons. 

My idea is that every race/class combination can have these visual customizations, the lore of wow is so rich that it's a shame that its not present in the game.

The last part is to make an image, only to see an overview of the archetypes. So I use MS paint with downloaded images from the internet. I know I could use photoshop or something better for the image, but I really don't have the skills to do that.

If you read the post to the bottom, the next race/class combination post will be for warlocks, and also I am waiting for the 12.2. patch to do a second version of the paladin concept, with added undead, night elf and troll paladin archetypes.

I am an achievement hunter, and its very annoying that I have this achievmeent thats completed, but isnt.

I got this achievement back when it was just 'completed x quests'. But a few expansions ago it went from completed, to incomplete.

I have made new toons both horde and alliance and completed every step, but nothing ever triggers the completion of this achievement.

I've made tickets over the years and every ticket just tells me they cant do anything and to read wowhead. Up until end of last year no one else seemed to have this issue (now theres 3 different people that have seen it).

Eihter way, this has been broken for years now... if there some way to fix this im missing? or am i stuck with a broken achievemet forever?

I'm on like 4 hours of wipes in various PUGs (staying to help learn the fight until a critical mass of people start dropping group) and it seems like people are just incapable of not popping 3+ adds all at the same time, as soon as they spawn.

I'd like to think I'm not the problem, in most of the groups I've been on the top of the healing meters and among the last to die.

Think tomorrow I'm going to just start my own group instead of joining others to see how it goes, I'd like to at least get it on my vault loot table, but are there any tricks to suggest to people for how not to kill the raid?

My attempt at recreating Xal'atath in Aion 2's character creator

I am truly amazed that this thing lasted almost 16 years! IIRC, the order page back in 2010 recommended “replacing within 5 years.” 😅

It was working fine about two months ago, displaying the code with no battery warning. Yesterday, as I was getting my account ready for WoW: Forever, one of the display segments gave a faint, momentary glimmer before fading out completely.

Luckily, Blizzard has automated the process of replacing a non-functioning Authenticator, so I was able to replace it with its app-based counterpart with relative ease.

Part of me still wishes they’d kept the physical Authenticator fobs for old-timers like me -- not because they’re better, but because of the feeling that this tiny device is one of your prized possessions, holding the key to your favorite place to be.

Times change, I suppose, and so should we. 🥲
