Corsairs Vs Witch Elf Poll

[Diabolix]

Just did this poll to see if people liked ninja pirates with awesome capes or Blood thirsty nuns.

Don't get me wrong I'm a corsair fan myself because they are just better and no matter how many essays those witch elf fans write just makes them boring, bland and they were cool at first but then its like "okay so you bath in blood, take drugs, go nuts and cut people and yourself worship some dude who sounds like Khorne, anything else?" Then you get the corsair and you say "Whoa, nice cape..." and the corsair would reply: "Why thank you, it is rather cool and do you see that burning High elf town, wouldn't of happened if I wasn't there" if you try converse with a witch elf its like "Hey nice erm... well i would say a peice of armor but your hardly wearing any, I see alot of blood on you but everyone gets blood on them if they viciously killed someone and I can't really promote the way you abuse drugs" not nice eh?

So Vote which one you think is the coolest and post a reply on why you think the one you choose is cooler but there is two things to remember here:
1.This is not a poll about who you think will be in, its about which one you like more
2.This is not where you argue which one should be in, its where you argue which one is cooler

Ugh, wow your rant was bias... and so un-Warhammery.


I vote Witch Elf, since they just seem so much more iconic to the Druchii then some pirate.

[Vaeronthar]

Well, Diabloix, nothing you said made any sense at all. Just for that, I voted Witch Elf.

[Black Razor]

I am of course a witch elf lover so my opinion is quite biased and you can guess where my vote went, but I don't hate corsairs .. they are cool with some decent lore. The problem I have with views the the OPs is that you dismiss the Witch elves as being little more then scantly clad duel wielding berserker... boiling it down like that you can say that corsairs are a bunch of sailors with two daggers and a cape and not alot else. Corsairs arn't that though.. the are dark elf raiders setting to the seas to make there fortune .. that cloak is a badge of pride for them and its considered a great honor to serve aboard a Black Ark.. how could you not like the Corsairs? However that being said .. even if witch elves wore full plate armor and carried a spear I would still prefer them to the corsairs .. because of there lore. I find the strange balance of the fact that they are essentially zealot nuns dedicated to there god to the point of being married to him and yet are these feral beauties oozing dark sensuality very appealing. Theres a look but don't touch quality to the brides of khaine that I think is awesome. And using such a crass term as berserker on them I don't think is a fair representation either .. nor is it simple drugs they take. They drink specially prepared blood laced with drugs to whip them into a frenzied murderous blood lust. Personally .. and purely my opinion .. if it comes down to pirate freebooter or blood crazed zealot ... I'll take zealot.

[Horus]

Corsair would make me reconsider playing Empire for sure. witch elf not.

[ravn0s]

I voted Witch Elf. They just sound badass. Corsair's look bleh.

[badkarma]

I personally like the way corsairs look. Very aesthetically cool. But witch elves may offer more of a fun twist to gameplay. We may be finding Witch Elves as the support class, moret han likely, assassins as DPS, and that special guard as the tank (lol forgot the name)

[Gaazruk]

I voted corsairs, the corsairs look awesome... and I would definatly play one if they came out. Witch Elves? Eh they are alright I guess im just not in to the bikini bezerker characters... but thats just me alot of people love witch elves and im guessing witch elves will end up in the game.

[Selendor]

Ya know with all these threads, I might actually end up laughing if they reveal Executioners or Assassins as melee DPS.

Witch Elf, the SUPPORT class???? How does a NON-magical, "I kill everything equally and like it" class heal someone? That makes as much sense as support Chosen to me, I would like to hear your reasoning. (BTW, another MALE only destruction class then? Don't we have enough of those?)

[Thrakkesh]

"And the melee DPS class for the Dark Elves will be...!

HARPY

Bet you didn't see that one coming, did you? NYAH NYAH NYAH NYAH NYAH!"

[Zoatibix]

Witches are cooler, imo.

The embody the Druchii's dark nature - the lust for blood and murder. The knowledge that while you might be the one doing the killing today it might be your turn tomorrow.

They take the Elven Princess stereotype and turn it on it's head. Instead of a demure girly-girl in a long white dress they are seductive, intoxicating beauties, screaming and ululating (sp) as they plunge into the enemy lines, twin swords slashing again and again into faces, hands and throats.

All the religion and back ground about them - the Death Night, the Houses vying for attention, those whacky tapesteries out of human* flesh.

* Other sentient races are available.

Could happen. But if it does I'd say Mythic have utterly, totally and completely lost it. I'd almost say that they couldn't be more out-of-touch with their player base in that case (because I get the strong sense that those two are by far the least popular choices).

Even I would rather see Corsairs, and that's saying something I think. :p

[Selandri]

I'm waiting for the male Witch Elves.

It'll be fun just to see all the fanboys ( Which is a word I've never used before, so really it shows how frustrated I am! ) tell me that male Witch Elves are entirely lore appropriate.

Because they will.

Despite quotes to the contrary.

Despite the entire sodding army book.

They will tell me it's lore appropriate.

[Kimmie]

not even close. i voted witch elves. they are by far the best for me. i like them better than anything else in warhammer. there are some other things that interest me, but nothing has get me so enthralled.

i honestly don't see why some people like the corsairs. ive read whats been posted.

i guess its one of those things where our differences make us interesting.

[Gaazruk]

I would laugh so hard at male Witch Elfs, hairy men in black chainmail bikinis...... *shudders*

[dynamo112]

Voted Corsairs, something about them is just very appealing..

[Triloq]

Voted Corsairs, something about them is just very appealing..

Is it the whole...100 pirates go out, 50 couples come in? sorry, couldn't resist :cool:.

Voted WE for reasons I feel are obvious.

[Diabolix]

shushh flaming my rant, it was meant to be pointless :roll:

:P Witch elves might be winning the poll 30-45 right now BUT THEY HAVENT WON MY HEART!

Zeetchman if that was meant to be a joke it was really clever seeing as you linked to a world war fighter plane page and as the game's acronym is WAR.... had me laughing quite hard for a while if it wasn't meant to be a joke then erm... Sorry I geuss, been laughing at you >.<

[Zoatibix]

I assume the plane he linked to is a Corsair....

I think that could give us something of an unfair advantage...although it would make both camps happy...Witch Elves flying jet fighters!

[Dracnye]

Witch Elf all the way. The are the most iconic unit you can find in the Dark Elf army list. They are sadistic, homicidal killers. Who could want more?

I could.

Which unit is most iconic for an army is still a matter of opinion.

"What do you think of when I say Dark Elves?"

"[favourite class]"

See?

That being said, I voted for Corsairs, it's not that I don't like Witch Elves, but I like Corsairs a lot more.

Great point. Everyone I know who actually plays DE TT say the Cold One Knights are the most iconcic. I agree. I find it interesting that the only DE character to be written about in lore/fluff is a Cold One Knight, not a Witch Elf or any other class.

That second paragraph almost makes me weep. The results of the poll are even worse. Technically, the entire DE army are pirates, as they all hop on boats and try to raid Ulthuan. So liking corsairs just because they're pirates is a little... moot. And besides! Where else are you going to find a race that sends their hot women into the midst of the battlefield!? I can't comprehend that the witch elves are only winning by 10%. That truly baffles me, because there are several contradictions in the witch elves: 1) she's an elf, but not entirely beautiful, 2) she's an elf that gets into the midst of the battle, no ranged for her! 3) she's a melee fighter, yet has no armor, and finally 4) she's a woman! All of those make for a class that is most definitely more "iconic" than the corsairs, and, in my opinion, there's nothing better than a chick who can totally kick your .

EDIT: @ Bulwyf:
Actually, you make a good point. I always thought the Executioners were cooler than the Cold One Knights, but I never played as the Dark Elves in the TT, so that could be why. That being said, however, they're one of the few cavalry that DON'T ride horses, and with their spiky armor, that makes them also quite iconic.

But can anyone argue that there is something more iconic than Witch Elves, Executioners and Cold One Knights?

[Noli me Tangere]

What about an entire sect of homicidal fanatic nuns that can totally kick your um.. rear? :rolleyes:

Black Guard PASTE Executioners. Hell they've some of the best non hero models in the entire table top range.

Executioners (http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://uk.games-workshop.com/darkelves/miniature-gallery/images/executioners_large.gif&imgrefurl=http://uk.games-workshop.com/darkelves/miniature-gallery/10/&h=284&w=400&sz=64&hl=en&start=5&tbnid=G5Jfvlfaj6efUM:&tbnh=88&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3DExecutioners%26gbv%3D2%26svnum%3D10%2 6hl%3Den)

Hmm, okay i'll admit they're actually fairly similar. But i've got double dibs on Black Guard being the tank, as well as having far cooler gimmicks and that kinda excludes Executioners in my book :D

The Blackguard armor does look quite awesome. Why not the best of both worlds and lets have Blackguards tank and Executioners dps. I would see that as one of those "oh, you got your chocolate in my peanut butter" type sitations. A 2h dps class would be a nice change of pace. If I wanted to be a frenzied dual wielding blender of death I would roll a Choppa.

I really doubt something other than a Witch Elf or Corsair will get the DpS slot. To be totally honest I doubt the Corsair is getting it either.

Technically, they are invasion army. Fact that they are coming on boats does not make them pirates. (Although, United States Pirate Corps sounds cool ;))
Druchii womans fight in all possible formations of Army.
Trust me. Without Witches, 50% of Druchii server population will be females. There is no need to make female-only class to show how many she-elves serves in the army.

[Axxar]

Witch elves. Corsairs just aren't special enough unless they spice it up like they did the marauder. And even then I would prefer witch elves.

[KyanMehwulfe]

I'm more biased toward the whole sea raiding element of the corsairs and it's a great Dark Elf theme, but I'd have to go with the Witch Elves if it was my decision simply because of how iconic they are. There needs to be a female-only class or two, too, to even out Chaos.

[Kellaris]

There needs to be a female-only class or two, too, to even out Chaos.

Why ??
Don't we have enough of gender restriction??
Why we do need more of those rubbish??

[Ralzar]

Two wrongs does not make a right.

I voted Witch Elves though. Because they're cool and becasue Corsairs seem to just be generic Dark Elves with cloaks.

[Bulwyf]

I agree. One bad decision does not need to be followed up with another bad decision.

[KyanMehwulfe]

No need to get into that again. It's been debated to death; both sides have presented their justification. Best to just refer to it as a different decision, personal preference, whatever; labeling it as inferior is just going to respawn the debate here again and that's not needed.

[Beardling]

I voted corsair for one reason: the scantily clad elf effect. If witch elves are allowed, dancing or no dancing, they will attract a vast majority of the immature players out there. Maybe this is biased, but I think it is true. I am under the belief that the horny teens who would be the majority who would roll witch elves (and I am not insulting anyone who has posted here in favor of witch elves, as everyone has given good reasons for allowing them, so please do not take offense) will ruin everything.

Having corsairs, who would be fully clothed, would in my opinion cut down on alot of immaturity. Of course, this is assuming that without any clothes on characters will be wearing more than underwear (here's hoping).

You have startet it Yourself;)
Whole this topic is debated to death. I'm active on this formum not so long and it is third pool with Corsair and Witch. And I'm not even trying to count non pool discussions about it.
And we will be debating it for next 2 weeks.
During that time, I will oppose every time I will see argument that "They have to make female only class", becouse I belive this is wrong.
Maybe I have missed something, but I haven't seen any good reason to support that statement. Not a single one.

[Zoatibix]

There are many things to attract gamers to WAR, whether they be immature or not.

We have knights in big shiny armour, and evil knights in cool spiky black armour.

We have wizards throwing massive fireballs around and goblins doing ker-razy and whacky tricks with their squig.

We have Warrior-Priests being touted across the WoW forums as 'everything the Paladin should have been.'

We have Elves in Persil White and Chic Evil flavours.

Witch Elves are just one thing that will attract the 'kiddies', there are plenty of others. Heck, some might just want to play a damned good game, y'know? :rolleyes:

I agree that it's unfair to lump everyone who wants to play the chainmail bikini class into the "immature teenager kiddies" group. Historically that type of character has attracted more idiots than other classes, but that doesn't mean that nice, good, smart players don't play them too. Also, those same "kiddies" are going to be spread out through the whole game, you're gonna have to deal with them at some point no matter what you play.

Anyways, I'm starting to think Kellaris is my long lost twin or something.

p.s. I voted for Corsairs.

Point to any popular trend and you'll see a huge bunch of idiots. Human Paladins, Undead Rogues, Albs (Ha!), NC Jackhammers, AWP s, spawn campers. Not really sure why a pair of breasts became the hotbed for idiocy.

Hell I know plenty of people who like to play pretty characters, and for the most part they're not idiots :)

[Volcano Mentality]

I voted Corsairs because, while fairly cool themselves, the Witch Elves just seem too barbaric to me.

I see Corsairs as the calm, collected, deadly, killer sailors that, in my opinion, fit well with the Dark Elf feel, being overall viscious yet controlled. :cool:

On the other hand, Witch Elves just look insane, charging into battle wearing nothing but bikinis, which is VERY different than how I see the Dark Elves. The class seems to focus too much on their viscious side, sacrificing their control and making them simple barbarians. :neutral:

All in all, the Corsairs are just more badass IMO, becuase skill is far more admirable than savagery. If the Corsairs appear in game, I'm without a doubt taking one up as my secondary, if not primary, character.

What dark elves are is far more than just the 'cool collected' view... that's a very black-and-white way of looking at them. What dark elves are includes the Witch Elves' zeal and bloodlust and desire for murder and killing.

Trying to ignore that part doesn't make it any less part of the dark elves (and I feel it's what sets the Warhammer dark elves apart from dark elves in any other setting where they're all cool and collected and cunning).

Well, I've never read any Lore, just read what people wrote about the Lore, so I'm not adamant on my thoughts on the Dark Elves. So if the frenzied bloodlust is a part of Dark Elf life, then ok.

My decision still stands though. I'm not a big fan of barbarism, and the skill of the Corsair is cooler IMO.

remember its not barbarism or savagery, its religious zeal. The Dark elves are the most civilized race in the WAR universe. The Witch elves are merely trying to please their god, the have a higher calling them some simple pirate that is only in business for themselves.

I voted Corsairs. Who doesn't want to be an slave raiding druchii and hear the torments and despairs of the slaves you captured. Corsairs play a much more important role in the Druchii society in my opinion. Each year Corsairs sail out from Karond Kar to capture new slaves to be sold for sacrifice, industry and as servants. Without the Corsairs the Brides of Khaine would nothing to sacrifice except other druchii.

1. I dont think the brides of khaine would worry too much about who they were sacrificing to khaine. They probably feel a DE soul is better then any other of the lesser races.

2. Im pretty sure the wych elves could go capture a few slaves on their own, sure a few villagers might have to die before they remember they are supposed to take slaves, but whats 1 or 2 brentonians in the end?

I'm curious what would happen first. WE would sacrifice all other Druchii and start herding sheeps?
Or Other Druchii would be bored of this and start sacrificing Witch Elves

Yeah. Everybody knows WE can do that. They can be in frenzy and cool in one time.
Considering the lack of ships they would take a shortcut by Chaos Wastes.:rolleyes:

Corsairs are not the only slave raiders.. if you read back stories theres several examples of Nobles leading inland raiding parties as well. Corsairs man the black arcs .. and though thats a big part of the Dark Elf slaving trade .. its not all encompassing. Witch elves have an entire night dedicated to the abduction of Druchii children to be sacrificed in the Cauldrons in Khaine's name (some become witches and assassins of course). In fact I doubt as many slaves go to the temple as you would think since most references to slaves fate in the lore and stories refer to death in the arenas or work in mines.

Your second point is actually more in favor of the Witches then against. WAR is about invasion and defense of lands, and not about slave raiding. In no way does that exclude Corsair's mind you, as they surely play a role in wars as well, but the basis of the game is in no way a black mark against the Witches.

What about all the slave-offerings the families make to avoid having one of their own taken? The dark elf children waiting for the heads so they can run and pin them onto the pikes? The sewing together of slave-skins by the witches, to show a family's wealth and how much they offered to Khaine? I think a lot of slaves go to the temple.
