It’s a desperate moment in which they are trying to do anything - anything - to stop those visions from playing in their head.
It isn’t a moment of honor, it isn’t a moment of noble sacrifice. That’s why Demon Hunters put out their eyes. That demonic blood caused visions that allowed the fledgling Demon Hunters to see - to really see - the vast, unstoppable might of the Burning Legion, and every atrocity the Legion ever committed. But that was only the first aspect of the ritual. It looked deceptively simple at first - kill the demon that wronged you, devour its heart. That left them in a state where they were willing to do anything to see that accomplished, which is the only way they’d accept what was to become of them. No hope, no family, no friends, just the desire to see the Legion pay for what it had done. They had nothing left in their lives but vengeance. They were all driven to the Black Temple, and to Illidan, for one very specific reason - vengeance. In the novel Illidan, it was made very clear that each of the Illidari-to-be were elves that had gone through tremendous amounts of suffering at the hands of the Burning Legion. Please note: There are obviously going to be some spoilers for both Legion and Illidan in this column.įirst things first: Being a Demon Hunter isn’t a walk in the park. For roleplayers, that means we suddenly have a more solid footing on where to begin with our characters. In the novel Illidan, the experience of becoming a Demon Hunter and what that entails is spelled out in full, horrifying detail. For roleplayers, it’s a chance to create a new character with a new background…or advance an existing character’s story.Įither way, the Demon Hunter background is a little more convoluted than expected, and carries a lot more weight than we’d guessed. For most players, it’s a chance to learn the class and get a handle on how it plays before tackling the Broken Isles.
World of Warcraft: Legion is coming on August 30 - and if you pre-ordered the expansion, you’ll have access to WoW‘s latest class a little earlier than that.
