Illida is blind

[Dark Master]

Is he?
No, Illida isn`t typo, I gave him nickname Illida. He`s Illidan.

 

[ArneXis]

Yes, he is blind.

 

[Dark Master]

Yeah, maybe, but his skills in combat are far more powerful than any blind warrior.

 

[ArneXis]

How many blind warriors do you know?

 

[Dark Master]

hmmm...That`s why I asked this-because of that!

 

[Reaper2008]

Well, all demon hunters are blind. How they see their enemies and all is beyond me.

 

[Avex]

Sigh. I love when I get to explain Demon Hunter's.


Demon Hunters undergo a demonic-like ritual, their eyes are scorched out, and runes are burned/scarred into their chests/bodies. Warglaives are their preffered weapons because they are swift and enchanted with magic. Most warglaives are best against demons. Demon Hunters, through their blindfold, see demons mainly, but when other organisms are around they see them, however they are a bit fainter.

I thought Illi was in jail. Who scorched his eyes? Sounds like a nasty elf hazing thing.

 

[Super-Sheep]

I'm blind, not deaf!

 

[Bontrager]

I still don't understand
How does putting hot coals on your eyes aid in seeing large demons. I can see this guy just fine.

 

[Just_Spectating]

cause its a game people.

 

[Dark Master]

No. Kil`jaeden empowered Illidan (if you mean after RoC). End of story.

 

[Devine]

No it was Sargeras himself who empowered Illidan.

Dude, We're talking about how he became a demonhunter. NOT a demon.
>.>
I for one, have no clue.

 

[LordDz]

Why would a Demon like Archimonde make a Night Elf into a Demon Hunter...? It just doesn't make sence

 

[Dark Master]

I agree with you...well, in some ways. Archimonde did not burned Illidan`s eyes. But, Illidan was ``corrupted`` since War of the Ancients.

 

[KingDedede]

Actually TDB, Sargeras did himself help Illidan become A Demon Hunter. He gave him runic tatoos that actually empowered him, and he gave Illidan orbs that would replace his eyes. He used the blindfold "The Cursed Vision of Sargeras" To find demons, and know where they are.

 

[Bontrager]

Still does not explain the whole equation
Hot Coals + Eyes = Better Vision
Lets apply this to another part of the body.
Hot Coals + Feet =/= Better Mobility
No conclusion reached.

 

[HFR]

For the Heavens, this is a game.

Also, all the Demon Hunters are trained in the demon hunting arts since childhood.

When they mastered the arts of fighting (5.000 years or so) they have to make the auto-blinding ritual. Then, using night elfish magic, they can see demons and the other things.

You guys ask: How Hot coals + Eyes = better vision? Ok, were talking about Warcraft. How the priests can use heal? How the night elves can become invisible? How the critters can explode after several clicks?

It's a game. It's Warcraft, pure fantasy, not real life.

 

[Bontrager]

How the priests can use heal?

They are holy people.

How the night elves can become invisible?

Power granted to the night elves by the goddess Elune

How the critters can explode after several clicks

You would probably explode to if someone was repeatedly clicking on you.

It's Warcraft, pure fantasy, not real life.

Cannot comprehend?!

 

[HFR]

Power granted to the night elves by the goddess Elune

And Elune couldn't had give the power of the Demon Hunters?

 

[KingDedede]

Taken from WoWWiki:

"Illidan's eyes were burned out by Sargeras himself, despite still being beyond the portal, and orbs of mystic fire set in their place that allowed Illidan to see all forms of magic, and arcane tattoos covered his body."

 

[HFR]

Ok, this is true. But the other Demon Hunters? Sargeras didn't made that with all of they.

 

[KingDedede]

"Obviously they could not gain their powers in the same way Illidan did, but they discovered other means. In the millennia since, other night elves, and a few creatures of other races, have made the same pact, binding demonic essence in their bodies and using it to destroy the Legion's minions."

[HFR]

'Nuff said.

Acctually I do believe that anyone would run pretty fast if they'd happen to stand on hot coal.

Anyways, this eye-thing. I think it would be more like Hot Coal+Eyes+pewpewMagic=Better Vision(when looking for demons)

 

[Bontrager]

Hot Coal+Eyes+pewpewMagic=Better Vision(when looking for demons)

Pew Pew! The equation is complete

 

[KingDedede]

Hurray, that settles this... Hopefully no one will say OBJECTION!

 

[D a w n]

Yeah, maybe, but his skills in combat are far more powerful than any blind warrior.

what about Daredevil??

 

[Aegis Runestone]

Illidan probably burned out his eyes in the Well of Eternity when seeking power. That's my guess from what I've read of the lore. Either that or his eyes were burnt out as part of his punishment.

Taken from WoWWiki:

"Illidan's eyes were burned out by Sargeras himself, despite still being beyond the portal, and orbs of mystic fire set in their place that allowed Illidan to see all forms of magic, and arcane tattoos covered his body."

Or maybe that's the truth. Do'h. I need to learn to read threads! XD

 

[supertoinkz]

dont ever insult my idol or dare my wrath >:?

 

[Ghash Ironhand]

In the game there is a reference to MalFurion blinding him as part of his 'punishment' so I'd say he developed the power to overcome the punishment, at some point it might had become ritualiced by the other demonhunters tho.
