Classes and Races

[Niratheil-magtheridon (Niratheil)]

Good point about DH’s, I see what you mean. Would be cool to see orcs and spacegoats as DH’s, would 100% roll one

Yeah same! I’d love to be able to play a Chaos Orc/Eredar demon hunter.

If taurens can just be taught about the light, why can’t trolls or gnomes?

Not really sure on that since Zandalari can be paladins. Maybe it just doesn’t fit the Trolls culture since they’re very tribalistic/shamanistic, compared to Zandalari who have their own civilization/empire. As for Gnomes I’m not really sure either. I mean they didn’t get hunter until Legion so It might take another 14 years till they become paladins.

I would totally agree on you with the void elf/undead thing, if they couldn’t both be holy priests.

They’re only holy priests because of gameplay reasons, almost the same as Lightforged Draenei being able to be shadow priests. Lorewise they use the shadows to heal though.

Lore’s all messed up now, so you might as well loosen the last string and let every race be every class. It’s a god damned mess already hahaha. Give me the fabled Tauren rogue. Or a Gnome Paladin. We already have bloody Orc mages.

I agree… it’s a butchered mess now… give the players what they want!

If it breaks lore rules for yourself then don’t roll the class/spec combo that you don’t agree with - simple!

Those who don’t mind should be able to.

fabled Tauren rogue

What about this dude? Outlaw no?

[ßubbletea-dentarg (ßubbletea)]

Have to agree for Monk, it should be a default , same with Warrior, Mage, Hunter.

Yes please

If every race could be every class then there would probably be 99,99% belf on the horde

[Imsoret-kazzak (Imsoret)]

What do you think about this suggestion? Should every race be able to play any class?

Some mixes of classes and races would just look stupid.

Tauren Rogue?

There are also some mixes i think are stupid, per example: Tauren monk/priest, gnome warrior, and some more.

they use the void theyre not controlled by it

There’s an opposition between a light infused individual and using void powers. Lore wise it’s not a thing, but for gameplay reasons you can do it

why shouldn’t they? the light answers all who call and believe thats the point

The light tries to purify the undeads even if they still believe in the light. Channeling it will burn them and they may die from it if they don’t stop

AFAIK only 1 undead priest can truly use the light, it’s alonsus foal which also btw helped in the foundation of a few paladin orders iirc. Dude’s an exception to the rule at this point.

[Kulvar-medivh]

Gnome can be warriors and death knights. You can’t get any stupider by allowing any race/class anyway.

Laughs in Lightforged-Draenei-Shadow-Priest.

That was kinda my point with the skyrim example, if you don’t like it dont play it. I personally wouldn’t play an undead paladin, but hey, if you let it, well, why not?

And from a RP perspective, then it could be cool to RP like a fallen paladin, who keeps worshipping the light, even in death.

So again, why not? For me it’s more disturbing to see ppl riding sewer rats in wendigo costumes, than it would be to see an undead paladin.
