Also reason undead WERE from humans died. WHere they used as paladin. Why would fine undead use paladin
I made a post for Blood elf Druids a long time ago and the comments was 50/50, meaning some opposed and some supported.
My deep HOPE worgen can use shaman… Since I’m fan “native werewolf”
You don’t get it, the Undead can’t use the Light, it gives them immense pain.
I like your reasoning 
I also think it’s about time the blood elven leadership looked to the healing plaguelands just south of their border and learn some lessons from it. They need to realize they need druidic powers to deal with that corruption, and they need to get some rangers to start learning nature magic, and reclaim their ancestral heritage.
Meh, Alliance -should- have more Paladin races, nothing wrong with that… Just an accurate reflection of the different Ethos’ in general.
Problem there is that you are kind of describing a Forsaken Death Knight, and a Zandalari Prelate, both of which are playable. a Forsaken Paladin as in all all ‘Praise the Light’ doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but then nor do Alonsus Faol and certainly Calia Menethil. State religion of the Forsaken, in so much as they have one, is the Forgotten Shadow, so Death Knight is pretty much an engine of wrath on that motif…
I’ll try. The basis of a Paladin, using the word in it’s actual sense, is a Holy Warrior. For that to work, there has to be a solid belief structure. It works for Humans, Dwarves and Blood Elves. They believe in the Holy Light. It works for Sunwalkers, they believe in An’she, it works for Zandalari, they believe in the Loa, originally Rezan, now I think Shirvallah(Maybe a Troll lore expert can pick me up on that one) It works for both flavours of Draenei, as they too believe in the Holy Light, just with a different approach than the Azeroth races take to it.
Orcs however have a Shamanic culture. Whilst Shamans can have holy warriors, the idea of devotion to just one deity is kind of alien to them, I mean what really -do- they believe in? The Elements? Thats Shamanism, the Ancestors? That’s just dead people, and not even Loa, that’s just Grandpa suddenly giving you superpowers?
Their isn’t an ‘Article of Faith’ that Orcish society could go “That is why I have my religious power” because Orcish Religion is really fluid and ill defined. It is always just “the Ancestors” which is a really nebulous term, and for Faith to work, especially the sort of Faith you can weaponise, you need -Certainty-. Sure, those Orcs brainwashed by Yrel’s cult, they could probably learn to wield the Light, but natural orcs, just don’t have the religious framework.
That’s my take on it anyway, and it is just my take, I am willing to be proven wrong on the matter.
Eh…No. Blood Elf Shamans make no sense. Druids I’ll grant you, because they are the same genetic stock as Kaldorei, who also, notably, do -not- have Shamans. It’s the wrong kind of culture, basically. Blood Elves were kind of a ‘Snip’ and ‘Transplant’ from the Upper Echelons of Kaldorei society, which never had Shamans, and was quite famously all about the Arcane, not Nature magic. There are vestigial remnants, which I will come to later.
Think so? They have one more than Human because only Elves can be Demon Hunters, The actual numbers are pretty close, they’re all 8’s, 9’s or 10 in the case of Blood Elves, because of Demon Hunter.
What is a joke about it? Tauren are heavily based on Native American culture, and their Paladins revere the Sun God, An’she.
The word ‘Paladin’ means a holy Warrior. Actually, it doesn’t, it means a particular type of Guard who guarded the Palatine Hill precinct in Ancient Rome, and they weren’t particularly religious, they were just well discipined squaddies paid by the aristocracy.
But sure, lets go with the D&D and adopted by WoW version of what a Paladin is. It’s a Holy Warrior. Holy Warriors have been a thing long before we even learned how to make platemail. The Culture the Tauren are based on certainly had Holy Warriors. Before anyone goes “Ahh but, these are WoW Holy Warriors, not our worlds ones” then yes, you are correct. In which case either everything is valid, or none of it is.
You don’t get to pick and choose what is holy enough to give someone religious strength. You either accept that religious strength can empower it’s devotees with those abilities, or you just accept that it cannot.
One of those options rewrites the lore. Tauren Sunwalkers make complete sense.
I don’t think someone posting on a Demon Hunter should be talking about deleting things from the game, them are dangerous paths you are travelling, pilgrim.
I think if they -could- then they -would- have. The Blood Elves do have a tiny vestigial remnant of Druidry in them. Which is the Farstriders. We know this, because of the description of Sylvanas and the Dark Rangers.
Upon their Death they “Lost their Nature Magics and found them replaced with those of Shadow”
So, they…kind of…had to have had Nature magics in the first place, in order to lose them and have them replaced. So yeah, the Blood Elves do have -some- nature magics left to them, which is probably why the Farstriders are so Baddonkey in forests, but not enough to reinstitute a full on Druidic Class.

Let’s face it, Blizzard can make up whatever lore they like and we pretty much have to accept it.
Let’s make Goblin Pallies whom draw the light from a battery pack they carry about on their back. It would be just as much as joke.
Yeah, this is the only way I see more Paladins join the Horde right now.
Could go something like they realize she’s crazy so they join the Horde forces to defeat her, or something.
All of my characters are Dwarfs except druid and DH and if i could be Dwarf druid/DH i would probably even play those classes maybe not DH its just too boring but definitely would play Dwarf druid.
