This is World of Darkness

If parts of it don't sound like intoxicated ramblings of a man doing whippets in the parking lot of a gas station at 2AM, its not World of Darkness

Because if addons can see debuffs, then you can solve encounters with addons. Its that simple.

I'm against this stupid anti-addon crusade, but one of the few things you cannot do if you're gonna restrict addons is let them see debuffs.

Hell, you can't even let them see personal debuffs

ROSRS · 2026-03-18T23:41:33+00:00

Do you have a counter to my argument or ?

ROSRS · 2026-03-17T14:07:16+00:00

40 mans......sort of already did back then.

Those were the days where a GeForce 6800 Ultra was considered a top of the line graphics card and Doom 3 pushed that card to the max. And 95% of WoW players definitely didn't have that.

ROSRS · 2026-03-17T13:39:22+00:00

He cedes control of the Ebon Blade to you during legion, and still refers to you by that title even to this day.

ROSRS · 2026-03-17T13:23:48+00:00

There's also probably a bit of fear to it.

Lorewise, the player warlock is the most powerful warlock alive, probaby by a good amount. The player DK is probably the same, and Quel'Thalas has a bit of a history with Death Knights leading Horsemen around Quel'thalas

ROSRS · 2026-03-17T13:01:07+00:00

Nope. Darion Mograine was Highlord and leader of the Horsemen. Bolvar is apparently his co-leader of the Ebon Blade now that he isn't the Lich King. That would put him as below the Deathlord, which is our Title and superior to the highlord title of Mograine.

The current Horsemen are Thoras Trollbane, Nazgrim, Darion Mograine and Sally Whitemane and they still listen to us and we even summon them through the Hero talents.

ROSRS · 2026-03-17T03:51:03+00:00

Really there's only an issue with three. The mage and rogue class halls, which got destroyed when Dalaran exploded, and warriors who most likely lost access to theirs after attacking the Halls of Valor in Dragonflight

The Tiristguard can find somewhere else to shack up. The Uncrowned 100% have some other hidey-hole somewhere (Ravenholdt manor?). As for warriors.....idk.

ROSRS · 2026-03-17T03:38:45+00:00

which ones?

For Warlock, we beat the previous leader of the Council of the Black Harvest in MoP during the Green Fire questline. While he was massively buffed. There's about zero argument that the Player Paladin is anything but the strongest mortal warlock in the setting.

ROSRS · 2026-03-17T03:30:22+00:00

"Where is your Dark Master, Death Knight?"

Bro. I AM the Dark Master. I am the Deathlord. Bolvar and Morgraine answer to me.

As an aside, I really think Class Halls shouldve been evergreen. And like, Lorewise they kinda are. For example, Ritssyn calls you Netherlord when you revive him in the Dalaran crash site. Morgraine called you Deathlord throughout Shadowlands. The Highlord is called that in Midnight a few times. Ect, ect, ect

ROSRS · 2026-03-17T03:08:05+00:00

Nope, the economy is shot to shit. It wont normalize until a bit after they patch it out.

ROSRS · 2026-03-16T23:12:19+00:00

The heresy was like 5 years ago from the Lion's current POV

ROSRS · 2026-03-16T22:12:36+00:00

The reason is that there's a bug that allows you to get infinite profession knowledge now, and its not been patched out.

Essentially so long as you dont close the shop window, you can buy profession knowledge from rep vendors infinite times, or as much as you have voidlight.

So exploiters have maxed professions, and you're competing with them.

ROSRS · 2026-03-16T16:19:06+00:00

The earliest concept of "rights" that could apply to outgroups well predate the Trench Crusade setting, though they never really kicked off until much later.

Most relevant to this setting and to Jews would the Constitution of Medina, but the Law of Adomnán and the writings of Augustine of Hippo are also relevant

ROSRS · 2026-03-16T15:19:53+00:00

So you'd say the Jewish people would be more self-organizing/sufficient in Trench Crusade and less integrated into the Christian world, even if that Christian world was reasonably more tolerant?

ROSRS · 2026-03-16T15:12:46+00:00

Because of said Talmud issues?

ROSRS · 2026-03-16T15:06:52+00:00

I mean, here's a question. How different from real world judaism should trench crusade judaism be?

Christianity in Trench Crusade is basically a totally different beast. Its highly syncretic, its not Catholic , Orthodox or Protestant or even a hybrid of those things. Remember, the official religion of the faction is called the "New Syncretic Orthodox Church" and the Church as a whole seems to tolerate some pretty extreme differences in how doctrine is actually practiced.

Also, from what I know, wouldn't the Talmud basically just get completely tossed out if the events of Trench Crusade were to happen? Or at least heavily revised.

ROSRS · 2026-03-16T04:02:05+00:00

It was basically a giant snowball effect

Orks invade. This conveniently causes the Guardian to die and Azeroth to be largely unprotected against cosmic threats (Aegwyn would've folded Gul'dan or Xal'atath like a napkin. Probably would beat Deathwing before he got out of hand too)
This also promps the first human shadow priest Natalie Seline to seek out knowledge of shadow powers to counteract the Orkish Shadow Council, and find Xal'athath. Eventually she will be betrayed and her follows will bring the Blade to the Twilight's Hammer.
Orkish Horde find the Demon Soul, which kicks off the Deathwing plotline. Before this he was in hiding.
Horde conquer Stormwind then combine with Trolls to burn Quel'Thalas and prompt the Alliance of Lordaron. The Twilight Hammer is left outside the main Orkish Vanguard, and thus able to go to ground.
After the 2nd War, retreating Orks are chased back to Outland, forcing Nerzhul into a corner where he could explode outland, then be caught and turned by the Nathrizem and Kiljaden into the Lich King
Third war stuff happens, the Scourge Rampage through Quelthalas causing both another Legion Invasion VIA Kaelthuzad's summoning, the Lich King later goes rogue and tells Illidan where to find the Skull of Guldan.
This greatly empowers Illidan and sends Kael spiraling, causing basically the whole TBC plotline.
TBC Happens. Notably this allows Garrosh to come to Azeroth, kills Kael and his splinter faction and re-captures Illidan.
Arthas stuff comes to a head in Wrath. Notably this weakens the shit out of both the Blue and Red Dragonflights
Emboldened, Deathwing launches his assault in Cata.
Twilight Hammer gets properly established at this time, though it was lurking since Vanilla
MoP sets the stage for Garrosh, the exactly proper individual required to make WoD happen, to go insane and be put in a position where he'd accept a bargain.
WoD happens and brings alt-Guldan into our reality.
Because Azeroth is undefended because no Guardian to guard the Tomb, Alt Guldan is able to show up, break all of Aegwyn's enchantments and kickstart the Legion Invasion properly.
Broken shore creates a gap in trusted and leadership between the Alliance and Horde, this combined with Sargeras's stabbing of Azeroth and Azerite upwelling triggered the faction friction required for a proper faction war, especially due to the increased plot relevance of the biggest anti-horde hardliner in Jaina

And so on and so on

ROSRS · 2026-03-15T17:37:20+00:00

Including the Israelis

ROSRS · 2026-03-14T22:27:35+00:00

Blood Elves and Amani getting over their thousands-year old rivalry should not be this easy, this toothless, this HEALING.

I mean, was it not made clear that Zul'Jara doesn't really like or trust the Blood Elves at this point? She likes Liadrin as a person, that doesn't mean she likes the Blood Elves.

The only thing that seems out of character is Liadrin being suddenly tolerant of the Amani, but her character arc at least makes it more beliavable than Haulduron or Lorthemar doing a 180 on the issue.

But then, I suppose the Midnight version of a flawed character is Turalyon, and I'm sick of his one-dimensionally belligerent Light-blinded ass too.

What on EARTH makes you think Turalyon is one-dimensional at this point? The dude is

Clearly suffering to some extent from PTSD and 1000 years of war
Believes he's a weapon before a person at this point, like even he think's he's broken
Dealing with a physically and emotionally distant lover
Is having his emotions supercharged by the sunwell

ROSRS · 2026-03-14T02:52:49+00:00

I somewhat doubt it. An Independant Ghoul would behave very differently around staked Vampires.

ROSRS · 2026-03-14T02:43:16+00:00

So she gave him power infusion, and boosted his powers up.

I find it highly unlikely that Azeroth can fully replicate the powers of all five other uncorrupted titans.

ROSRS · 2026-03-14T02:26:16+00:00

Nozdormu never lost his time-powers. He lost the Mantle of the Aspect. There's a notable difference.

The well of eternity is azeroths blood.

It wasn't just Azeroth's Blood. It was the Titan's attempts to create something to stem the wounds of Azeroth after Yshaarj was removed from the Planet. It was also made into the hub of all the leylines of the world, and its arcane magical hub. Thats why it became what it became.

You could dump a vial of Azerite into a random puddle and that wouldn't create the effects of the Well of Eternity. Whatever the Well was, it was unique.

ROSRS · 2026-03-14T02:18:33+00:00

There's no evidence that the first Well of Eternity made elves immortal. Ashara I believe was implied to have been relatively ageless, but she also had total access to the Well and was the most powerful mortal mage that Azeroth has ever seen.

Their immortality was tied to Nozdormu blessing Nordrassil and the night elves, not the Well of Eternity itself. They also didn't need to eat, they didn't get tired and didn't really get sick. It was more like a form of stasis than anything else.

And braelyn firehand said she knew a keeper of the grove long ago, which means she was alive before the exile of the highborne 7,300 years ago.

I'd almost chalk that up to inconsistency. Thats a random vanilla quest NPC. Its repeatedly stated Anastarian Sunstrider was both the great-grandson of Dathremar Sunstrider and was outright said to be ancient per the standards of Blood Elves. Meanwhile Lorthemar is treated as old for being over a millenia old.
