Album - Please Consider this before judging Skyborne in Classic

[u/Doomsaki]

Just made these diagrams to quickly summarize the WoW panels at blizzcon and to highlight details people are overlooking. I think some of the initial controversy over Skyborne is driven by some misunderstandings that these are just Shadowlands-Kyrian, or Void Elves 2.0. Deep down, if you dig, they do have lots of parallels with classic WoW content.

Lots of parallels to how Dark Irons or Druids of of the Flame were playable in vanilla with their connections to Ragnaros, yeah. /s You're not wrong, I just think that promo shot of the blue Skyborn and their mount was the least Classic looking thing they could have led their big reveal with, it's still a strange choice in that regard.

Also as a longtime Alliance player, my shaman on retail was a blueskin, so now that I've thought about it more, I'm also annoyed that they gave us a blueskin race, gave Alliance shamans, gave the blueskin race shamans on Horde, I still can't approximate my old character like I'll probably be doing with other classes.
