Why No Shadow/Void Paladins, Microsoft Blizzard?

I jokingly call Sylvanas Windrunner Silvia.
Also, I call Thrall Metzen, but everyone calls him that.

Ah, ok, couldn’t have known that…

But SylvanasĀ“allegiances being" interchangeable"… Ehm, you do recall that she was the leaader of the forsaken and adamantly aligned with the horde until the end of the 4th war, where her allegiance changed to ā€œMe, myself, Zovaal and Iā€ā€¦

There is literally a Void Elf Paladin in Telogrus Rift. (And a Void Elf Holy Priest.) We can get wrapped around the axel on names but, at the bare minimum, Light-wielding Void Elves are canon. TWW or Midnight might explain why.

I’m not advocating for any purple-coloured skills; the standard, playable Void Elf Paladin is what I’m here for, Light and all…

Car joke. I didn’t think It through

That is correct. However Void ELF paladin =/= void paladin, a void elf can still align themselves with and use the light, just as undead can (I do assume it to be similarly painful BTW.)

But the argument here is for a shadowy, tentacle loving paladin offshoot, and race does not really matter in that equation beyond ā€œcan become a paladin yes /noā€.

Yeah, I’m happy for Shadow Priests to keep that… An offshoot is an unnecessary distraction.

And it’s still painful to do so. Which makes me happy when it comes to void elves .

Just for the record, itĀ“s not that IĀ“m in any way averse to having a plate wearing, tentacle snuggling, C’Thun worshipping doofus standing up there making sure the bigger doofus we’re fighting thinks heĀ“s the problem and not me.

I just donĀ“t see any realistic way that class can be in any way related to a paladin without actuall breaking many years of established lore…

ItĀ“s one thing to allow lightborn dranei to become warlocks or Vulpera and Mechagnomes to become Death Knights, thatĀ“s basically jsut where story and gameplay have to diverge for teh sake of player agency … even though the Battle-net account should theoretically explode on character creation.

But itĀ“s another thing entirely to introduce a ā€œsubclassā€ into the game with absolutely zero background or historical precedent and just expect it to go over well and fit into the game like it was always there.

I would like to see it, but unless Xal’Atath does some really heavy lifting the next few years, I donßt see it as realistic before the Worldsoul Saga is over and (WARNING; LORE SPECULATION!!!) everyone finally gets the message that all of this light /void /arcane /fel /Life /Death stuff is just shullbit and always was… Maybe after /during Midnight, depending on what exactly they have in store for us… :wink:

Like high/blood elves have always been pale as my buttocks, but apparently no longer due to forced inclusivity? Why are you selective about lore? It longer matters. lol

I’m not sure about paladins, but we should definitely have a full Void Priest.

The only thing that stops me from playing priest is the fact that Shadow (the only spec I’m interested in) is a mix of void and light.

We already have discipline for that…
So why is shadow not full Void ?

Nice word salad there. Void and light are the same thing just different colors. Paladins should be more inclusive. It’s not cool to be stricktly conservative in 2024 in which the game also takes place given how much realpolitiks have been shoehorned into it.

This might very well happen with the Arator story line.

He is a paladin, but also the ā€œchild of light and darknessā€

I think paladins will get void under his lead somewhere down the World Soul Saga.

I’m picturing you with a toothpick right now

I suspect to get some void themes either specs or new class entirely for midnight, seeing as the rythm of ā€œclass, race, class, raceā€. Would be cool to see a void demon hunter as a new possible spec to finally give them a third one

No Void Elf paladin, this is WoW, not Azeroth Asylum.

Begon void demons

Alliances paladins who support this idea are corrupted and what a shame from ambassadors of the Church of Light

Don’t get me wrong, but I don’t remember that being a restriction in the lore. Please point me to where it is written.

I prefer things to be inclusive, but bringing the ā€œinclusive argumentā€ when talking about something completely made up in a game. A game with it’s own lore, not bound to the real world at all. That is mad. This is a game, don’t try to pull such crap! Not for something that has nothing to do with inclusivity.

If you want you can do that for genders…but not for light vs void…man…mad stuff here…

Conservatism preservs, inclusivity destroys for impose.

Inclusivity probably comes from the void, also called Shadows.

Conservatism is the Light.

Vote Anzhela for big 2k24 :us_outlying_islands: :elephant::heart:

We will make the light stay great and build a holy wall between us and the voidies sny demons
