Druidism
It says here that they where saddened by the loss of Druidism. Wtf...? They are HIGH Elves, not Night Elves. Saimdusan 18:11, 4 December 2006 (EST)
Remember, high elves had a long history of nature loving and druidism as far back as "Warcraft II". This is just a refrence to that obscure lore. Check out Freywinn for a blood elf druid in Burning Crusade.Baggins 21:14, 23 December 2006 (EST)
Oh... if so why don't Blood Elves get Druids? It's not like they can't give Draeni druids as well. Saimdusan 03:57, 30 December 2006 (EST)
- In a way you have them... The Blood elf hunters are the equivalent to Elven Rangers of Quel'Thalas. They just aren't the shape shifting druidic types you are used to, :P... But are still nature loving type.Baggins 04:02, 30 December 2006 (EST)
Jaedenar Druids
I was reading some orc in Felwood (he had a sword named Hellfire and 2 succubi as assistants) raised some druids into undeath and they had most of their druidic powers. Why can't the Dark Rangers use theres?
Mr.X8 Talk Contribs
I found it.
- Fel’dan has learned how to reanimate the deceased druids of Jaedenar into intelligent undead druids who retain many of their abilities. These undead druids have such an intimate knowledge of nature that they are able to spread the corruption of Felwood much further and faster than normal. Fel'dan carries the greatsword, Hellfire.LoM 15, 16
Screenshots
Does anyone have screenshots of the Dark Rangers from WotLK?

The Living
Is it possible for a living humanoid to be a Dark Ranger? What I mean is, if there was a Forsaken that would teach let's say a Blood Elf, could he teach him, or is it impossible for them to do since only undead can or something?

- Theres living Death Knights and Necromancers,so why not Dark rangers? Airiph/T/C/B 22:58, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Dark Ranger Marrah is named a dark ranger...she appears to be alive. Its description says they were ,basically, rangers brought back from the dead and taught new arts. So I believe it's more of a teaching than an undead requirement. I don't see Sylvanas sharing that info with outsiders however...

I alwase thaught they were just necro-rangers Airiph/T/C/B 23:28, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- It says in the RPG that being undead is a requirement for being a Dark Ranger, as well as Dark Rangers being found only among the Forsaken, who are exclusively undead. It's more than just choosing evil like a Death Knight would; it's about the shock of losing one's touch with nature through undeath and turning to the shadow in one's hatred. Long story short: no, it is not possible for a living humanoid to be a Dark Ranger. Toasty McGrath (talk) 07:04, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, you are right, plus she now has new textures. Airiph/T/C/B 15:59, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Males
Is it possible for males to be dark rangers, or is it female specific? There don't seem to be -any- examples of the former, and there's nothing on the page about it.
- Since there are both Male and Female rangers in lore, I don't see why there shouldn't be any male dark rangers. The "female exclusive" ranger stems from Warcraft III where dark rangers were based on Sylvanas Windrunner. I don't see any reason why males can't be. Nathanos Blightcaller is listed as a dark ranger, and thats accurate, due to him being able to summon skeletons and his "Psychic Scream" ability.--Blayaden (talk) 17:12, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Race
Truly reanimated bodies or banshees possessing their original bodies, just like Sylvanas ? Pudim17 (talk - contr) 17:31, September 21, 2009 (UTC)
- From what I've seen, it can just an undead elf ranger (or human because of Blightcaller) and trained to use their new "undead" abilities. Sylvanas is a notable case because she's both a banshee and has her body. Best (or worst) of both worlds, I guess. I'm betting with the Undead getting hunters, they'll be referred to as "Dark Rangers" like blood elf hunters are referred to as rangers in quest dialogue. --Blayaden (talk) 17:15, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
