Need help picking a paladin race

Hello guys,so I wanna play port pali but Idk what race would fit the best.
Humans:
Everyone says they are boring but they look good in gear
Dwarf:
Drunk paladin sounds badass but ur small
Dreanei:
They look badass but their shields look small and their feet look weird
Blood elf : I like the idea of being a blood Knight and being kinda unique but the male animations are kinda weird , the way you hold weapons look like they you have osteoporosis
Tauren: Swole mfs but cows
Can someone help me pls

The classic. Easiest to mog, best fit for the ability appearances, never feels out of place.

Same goes for dwarf really.

Draenei are so-so as paladins, they don’t really have me feeling one way or the other

Blood knights are the dopest amigos that ever walked azeroth, but they’re a real pain to mog

Tauren have no real fitting armor for their sunwalker take on being a paladin, and all of the ability appearances are extremely out of place. Tauren throwing holy hammers and reading from divine librams really doesn’t do anything for me.

So really, I’d go human/dwarf, or belf if I felt particularly confident about mogging one

Agreed

Yeah, other than getting the actual Blood Knight armor for them any other so-so Paladin armour is okay.

Dwarf as protection paladin!!!

Kez! Do not tell me you RP a filthy dwarf paladin!

It’s the best combination of race and class.

I switched my Belf Paladin to a human one a while ago and I like the transmog options on my human a lot better, for what it’s worth.

Draenei have some cool options available too imo

And what’s wrong with dwarf paladins?!

Zandalari troll paladin.

Nothing more to say.

Humans aren’t boring. People who say humans are boring are boring. Neener neener.

praise the sun(walker)

RP/aesthetic-wise, each of them have quite different vibes. Tehya summed it up nicely.

I main a Human Paladin myself, and went with the deep lore and things which actually makes one a Paladin. The blessed, virtue-driven champions of Light who hold this power within them. Dwarves are similar.

Blood Knights are quite nice too and I like them, though they are different from usual Paladins, as in what makes them one. Imperialistic, patriotic and elite Knights who defend Quel’thalas and do whatever takes for it, including drawing Holy power from Naaru/Sunwell.

Draenei being more cultural than just faithful. Driven by Naaru’s guidance and wisdom in order to bring their will down upon darkness, and for long facing the evil called Burning Legion.

The same with Sunwalkers as for them being different. They are devoted to An’she, much more tribal than others and spiritual. They aren’t devout champions of Light and virtue but followers of an aspect of Earth Mother, which makes them different.

You also have Zandalari Prelates, devout, royal and elite followers of Rezan, Loa of Kings. Those who still remained strong enough in faith still can draw from his power.

All of the above are unique in their own way, and have interesting points. See which vibes you like more and go for it. As for mog parts, it’s not too easy for some of them but cool ones can be made if you have a good amount of mog items acquired.

Good luck!

Confused why OP was report bombed. Anyway.

It’s obviously down to personal preference, but where paladins are concerned, I feel humans and draenei are the most iconic of the lot - in their own ways. Blood knights used to be cool, but then they went all… post-TBC.

A holy cow with an hindu vibe is obviously the way.

What about Zanadalari?

only paladin race for me would be a worgen, same for monks. But worgen can’t be either of these races on alliance so guess I wont be playing paladin or monk

Okay but consider this. Dwarf and draenei paladins are radical as hell.

But I don’t wanna be pint-sized and draenei are really not my cup of tea sadly due to animations primarily and well just general appearance. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I fancy horde have the nicest selection of paladins.
