Greetings, fellow CoTHians!
I've been wanting to play a draenei for a while; however, they are rather alien to me, and no matter how many "how-to" guides I read, I'm still pretty unsure whether or not I'm ready to embark on this challenge.
Mainly, I have problems with details.
1. How would warriors differ from Paladin? Are they fighters like the holy knights who do not worship the Light as fervently? Would they still have any blessing of the Light (Gift of the Naaru seems to suggest all Draenei do)?
2. Is the approximate date of "Two thousand summers" since the Draenei's arrival on Draenor, mentioned in the novel "Rise of the Horde" trustworthy at all? Speaking of which, would Draenei who were born after they were exiled and before they arrived at Draenor simply be born aboard the vessel / a random planet?
3. I read somewhere that the Draenei who stood to fight against the orcs were all corrupted. Does that mean non mutated Draenei from the Exodar would have all fled from the battle?
4. Not really directly related with Draenei, but still applies...Weapons made of crystal such as The Oathkeeper and Merciless Gladiator's Gavel look pretty nice on a Draenei, but would these be reliable in combat, or obtainable at all? Also, the shields Draenei guards use (click for model) look nice, but they're incredibly small. Would they include any sort of magical trick, such as emanating a shield made out of energy from the "jewel" at the center to make up for the size, or is the shield just small?
Thanks in advance for the replies. More questions may or may not be underway, depending on how this rolls.
