In almost any rpg i have played NE are immune to sickness, then wouldnt they be immune to the dieses spell?

They weren't in WC3, were they? I don't remember that they were, so would see no reason they would be in WoW.

Disclaimer: It's entirely possible they were immune in WC3, but I think I would remember that.

Although it is true NE are very adept in curing themselves, they will not be immune to dieseases in the game.

no they will not be immune to deseases

are there any sicknesses in WoW, besides poison ?

i dont  think they'll be immune to poison.

ya there are other sicknesses probably like paralizeing and sleep ect.

I've never actually played an rpg where there even WERE night elves, much less one where they were immune to sickness.  Elves in d&d weren't even immune to sickness, and that is probably the closest thing.  They were immune to certain enchantment spells, but I doubt that will carry over into WoW because its a pretty powerful thing and they already have shadowmeld.

well i dont think in otehr games they called em "night elves" they would call em dark elves or drow's. i think blizzard once all the otehr movies and games came out with orcs and stuff when they add'd the elvesthey wanted to be a bit creative and call em night elves because personally i have never heard em called night elves befor warcraft. i might be wrong but thats what i think

Any kind of immunity tends to throw off balance anyway =P

WoW is not d&d.  Lineage II is closer to d&d+anime.  But WoW has it's own history.

You can only compare WoW with its offline predecessors and Night Elves with Warcraft III.  From what I've seen, Night Elves are reasonably portrayed in WoW from Warcraft III.

Speaking from experience with a NE Druid, there is an emphasis on healing spells which might mitigate for a disease immunity.  Certainly, my toon scoffs at most poison attacks from mobs.

Apparantly there are no such things as elves, so there's no point ascribing characteristics or principles to races in particular mmorpg games.... although I understand the sentiment.

yea there are other sicknesses probably like paralizeing and sleep ect.
