Belf Druids

This race/class option has been discussed now and then every since the release of Burning Crusade, now about three years back down the road is it? There is at least one in existence, as a boss NPC in the Botanica instance, High Botanist Freywinn. Most would agree the dude looks kind of cool in that Tier 1 Druid set. I would say so anyway, and I always agreed that if druids became a playable option for blood elves I would consider rolling one.

That was then, and today nothing's really changed. I still wouldn't mind rolling one. Though I do think it would just sit their and collect dust as I played my goblin mage. ;)

Well here we are with Cataclysm on the fringes, and Blizzard has opened up with brand new race and class combinations. Holy Cows, human and undead hunters, dwarf shamans, orc and nelf mages, and troll druids.

And some people blinked, when they went down that list of green checkmarks, looking in the row for blood elves and the column for druids. Lo and behold, there was no green checkmark there! People blinked, and they began to freak out.

"Wait! You let trolls be druids, but not blood elves! OMG!"

Honestly, as much of a fan I am of belf druids, I think trolls do make more sense. They're a bit more tuned with nature than the arcane addicted blood elves at this point, who care more about magic than the natural world. That's all there is to it. Sure, Kael'Thas employed a few of his followers as druids, which I did find a little odd. If not there, why not here?

Good question. Hopefully Blizzard might give this some thought, but if they do give in then they also have to give one of the alliance races access to druids. Who would that be? Dwarves? Humans? Gnomes even? Possibly draenei? No. Not one of them is really in tune with nature at all. If it's not machine, magic, or in someway connected with archeology or the light, it's not worth paying attention to.

Personally I think Blizzard made the right choice in this.

PS: Night elves are getting mages, the supposed favored class of blood elves. This is also an arguement for blood elf druids, the supposed favored class of night elves. Honest trade!
