ok. Wont push a fix til beta becomes official

beta

Beta or non-beta?

I think so, there's just floating heads and unattatched limbs.

Body of the armor?

The Spellbender is missing it's body on at least half of the various forms.

LOL

I smell magic in the air... or maybe barbeque.

I think part of the problem with blight damage is that it can refer to so many different things: disease, poison, acid, or even perhaps radiation. The last of these is perhaps the closest thing to WoW's fel magic but isn't as tied to nature as the first three. AoW's closest equivalent to fel is probably miasma or ghostfire, maybe. Since AoW equivalents don't really match WoW's lore, I'm going to respect the author's decision. It wasn't ever going to be an exact fit between the two games' lore and the author had to make a decision.

Im sticking to my guns. Its staying astral/chaos

I personally think the tome should be Nature and Chaos, since blight is associated with the nature affinity. Also, the green and orange combo draws my mind to those two affinities, similar to Visie's arcfire tome.

I agree with Vectra too.

@SkeletalTiger
I side with Vectra's decision here. This is a heavily Warcraft Blood Elf-themed tome and astral/chaos is exactly what they are like. I do however agree that such tomes would be welcome!

Thank you for reviving these tome mods, much appreciated

Kael'thas tome

Im sticking to Astral/Chaos

I love the concept of the tome and understand why you've gone with astral/chaos over nature/chaos, but I just gotta come and put a vote in the hat for this to be nature affinity rather than astral. In my head I see how the corrupted flame angle goes well with nature/chaos, and it would fill a gap in offense that nature affinities are sorely missing.

@Lord Vectra I would like to say that I agree that skirmishers and mage/support enhancements doesn't imply specific affinities. My intention was to imply that they are affinity neutral and thus didn't suggest leniency for or against any affinities. It was not my intention to suggest otherwise especially since astral already has a skirmisher unit, the mistling, from the dual astral/nature tome fey mists.

More WoW inspired tomes in the future? Void, Shadowlands, Burning Legion, ect could be cool

Ill add it to the buglist

So the Spellbender has a bit of a problem, the beastkin forms, Feline, Insectoid, Lizard, ect, have no visible body, the head, arms, helmet, are visible, but not the body.

Toadkin works, but the rest of the beastkin do not.

Besides the aforementioned points, Nature affinity just doesn't fit with the Sin'dorei. Missing out on Astral would be a crime.-

{2/2}
The only affinities with a skirmisher is nature and order (or chaos if u want to count evolution). That doesn't mean a materium, astral, or shadow can't have one. That's just limiting creative design for the sole purpose of keeping everything completely streamlined which would be quite boring.

(1/2)
Corrupted flames (which is the theme of this tome) does not sound nature/chaos. The minor transformation is actually very astral as "when a spell is cast" is very common in Astral effects (Mana Addicts, Astral Attunement, Astral Blood, and Mystic Culture)

Also:
Blight is shared with shadow as well as decay which is basically poison+.
Fire is shared by both Order and Chaos.
Astral has an animal summon at Teleportation but is not nature.
Astral isn't the only one with battlemage enchantments nor every astral tome with an enchantment needs to include a battlemage/support enchantment.
There is already precedent that damage types aren't tied to a specific affinity.
Feymist only has a Skirmisher with a Support enchantment (not even battlemage)
Tome of Tentacles doesn't share anything with typical shadow tomes, except by theme.
Tome of Corruption shares even less with Shadow, if any, except by theme.

Inflicting poison plus animal summoning sounds exactly like a nature tome.Whereas astral suggests lightning and summoning astral creatures and chaos represents fire and demons. The fire is represented but I'm hard pressed to see anything astral. All three affinities currently have unit enhancements for mage/support units. The skirmishers doesn't suggest astral either. The race transformation is the only thing that kinda suggests astral but it alone seems dubious to me. But regardless, I think you did a great job making this mod as I'm sure it took a lot of work. You can make it whatever affinity you want and it doesn't really matter what I say. It's not like it has to be canon.

I pick affinities based on themes. Nature doesn't make sense except by the fact the tome inflicts poison which, to me, is nowhere near enough to slap nature on it. I guess it also has an animal but its not an animal-based tome.

Shouldn't this be a chaos/nature tome though?

Glory to the Sin'Dori!!!! >8)

Anu belore dela'na! Blood Elf time :D

What can I say, except "Glory to the sin'dorei!"

Absolutely delighted with the tome, thanks so much! Well made and Vectra was highly responsive & communicative throughout the process. Easy recommendation if anyone else is interested in commissioning a tome.
