Oh you a defiantly right, the line between beast and elemental is getting stretched further and further all the time, no doubt about that. There are also the fire/magma tarantulas and scorpids also.PorrasouxRex wrote: Going by the Elemental theme again, we have Core Hounds, Terrorpene, and probably Fiery versions of certain families next patch. Why wouldn't Phoenixes be an option if not only are Fire Hawks swarming the place, but also Blaze Wing circling the area as a great chance for the BC model to become a rare skin?
I guess my main ponderous thoughts would be that the current phoenix model was originally designed and derived from the blood elf mage unit in WC3 as an ultimate spell. (hence Kael has always had such an affinity with them, it was his spell) Due to the sam wises design they also never had an legs or feet to speak of. They were actually summoned and they would slowly burn and consume themselves til death, only to spawn and egg and be reborn a short time later.
Maybe it's just all the lore attached to them that imo makes it a little less likely a candidate, I'm not sure. That said, I would not complain if they were made into a model, in fact I would love it just as much as you
But I'm not just talking about the BC Phoenixes, of course. I mean, you could argue that even if that may be true, why is Blazewing flying around like it's nobody's business? shouldn't he be committing mass suicide over and over at random targets? And not all Phoenixes were from a spell. Those spells like the Belf mage and Kael, was them simply summoning these great beasts from the Firelands. We have now broken that barrier and are looking first-hand at where these guys really come from in the first place. Sure, the mages can summon. But now that we can explore this strange fiery landscape, we could find and command a Phoenix if we come face-to-face with one.
