Race/Class combos that are completely impossible lorewise

[Techno-Druid]

I would love to see pandaren druids, night elf paladins and draenei rogues.

[Kralljin]

Why all the hate against Tauren paladin? I will never understand that.

In my opinion, they would be fine, however there some issues that Blizzard didn't really bother to address.

I think some abilities would have been more fitting if they had changed them in terms of style / name, like Hammer of Justice, or stuff like Blessing of Kings.

Second, Paladin sets look horrible on Tauren, all of them.

[Eazy]

Why would Night Elf Paladin be on that list lol? They can serve the light of the moon, and Paladins already have two as their followers.

Night elf paladins are a real thing now...Delas Moonfang and the very strong implications that Elune is a being of light or has something to do with it.

Yeah I know, I've seen followers already. But it doesn't make sense for me.

So if an Eredar fel wielder decided to abandon the legion and fight for the Alliance would they be their own separate playable race or would the Draenei playable race be renamed to Eredar? You're saying Draenei get along with every other alliance race that has Warlocks but a different rule applies to their own, and as such a fel wielding Eredar could never be accepted into the alliance to fight against the burning legion?

Draenei is not an "ideology" at all. It's a word used by the Naruu to refer to their allied Eredar meaning "Exiled Ones". If a Fel wielding Eredar was to turn his/her back on the legion then they too would be exiled and automatically a Draenei by Naruu definition.

the fel-using eredar(not man'ari) would likely be accepted in the alliance, but they would not be accepted by draenei society.

Nothing is 100% impossible but what does not fit in my opinion:

Tauren Rogue - Mage - Warlock - Demon hunter
Human Shaman - Druid
Orc Paladin
Gnome Warrior - Paladin - Deathknight - Druid - Demon hunter
Goblin Warrior - Paladin - Deathknight - Druid - Shaman - Demon hunter
Dwarf Druid - Demon hunter
Worgen Shaman
Draenei Warlock
Night Elf Mage (10.000 years banned WTF) - Warlock
Troll Paladin
Pandaren Warlock - Mage - Deathknight - Demon hunter
Undead Druid - Shaman

So combos that are not playable and possible are: (in my opinion)

Goblin Monk
Worgen Monk - Paladin
Blood Elf Druid
Orc Priest - Demon hunter
Undead Paladin
Draenei Rogue - Demon hunter
Pandaren Druid
Human Demon hunter
Troll Demon hunter

Old God holy priest.

They should roll back some of the recent additions to the game, but with that being said, I can't see an issue with Pandaren Druids, Draenei Rogues, or Blood Elf Druids.

[Hammerfest]

not for this you can.

Blizzard can make any race/class combination work without retconning their lore. It would be easy to do so. So stop blathering on about it like you know something.

by very definition of what the light does to undead, they couldn't be a paladin and function. A draenei cannot become a warlock and remain a Draenei. Perhaps you need to look up retcon and maybe then understand how silly what you are saying sounds.

[Hammerfest]

by very definition of what the light does to undead...

Bla bla bla... they can fix that. The light can make a special exception for a particular subset of undead Paladins if they pass trials et cetera et cetera and so on. This stuff isn't hard, Friendly.

That's not how the light works. That's like saying fire likes someone and therefore they won't burn to death. Even when the light heals to an undead it feels like they are set on fire. So once again, Retcon.

[Hammerfest]

That's not how the light works.

That's up to Blizzard. They can make the light change and evolve in any way they see fit to accommodate gameplay... because lore takes a backseat to gameplay at Blizzard. In any case, they wouldn't have to retcon anything to have the light make an exception for some undead, OR just have these particular undead be really tough and able to handle the pain. There's all kinds of ways they could go.

[Razion]

None of them are impossible.

Priest and Paladin power comes from faith. (Read: Capacity for good - which is everybody.) [Ex. Every quest you've ever done.]

Demon Hunter requires having a soul. (Read: Requires hating the Legion - which is everybody.) [Ex. Legion killing everything and everyone.]

Mage, Warlock, and Druid can be learned from books or by mentor. (Read: Requires a memory, brain - which is everybody.)

Death Knight requires being able to die. (Read: Requires being a mortal race - which is everybody.) [Ex. Cult of the Damned]

Warrior, Rogue, Hunter, and Monk can be physically trained or practiced. (Read: Requires a body, weapon - which is everybody.)

Shaman power can be forced. (Read: Power can be taken - which means everybody.) [Ex: Twilight Cult]

the fel-using eredar(not man'ari) would likely be accepted in the alliance, but they would not be accepted by draenei society.

According to who?

Have you ever actually spoken to a Draenei NPC? Almost everything they say references the Light in some way. Draenei are defined by their hatred of demons and the fel, because, considering Draenei are an extremely long lived race, it's a very personal fight for them. Sargeras turned the Draenei's brothers and sisters against them, took their world from them and Kil'jaeden, a trusted leader of their people, has been hunting them for 10,000 years. You don't just forget that because some guys said "hey sorry about the whole 'trying to murder all of you for the last 10,000 years' thing."

Well on the other hand, blizzard did the same thing with Night Elf Mages.
All of them hated arcane magic for what it could do, Deathwing shows up and all forget there rule of no arcane for 10.000 years.

The Highborne were welcomed back into Kaldorei society and began taking students. Not to mention even before then they were close allies to the humans (a race with powerful mages) and the draenei (heavy arcane users).

As for pandaren, they can already be mages, which kind of makes sense considering that they had a historical connection to the Highborne Pre-Sundering.

When according to you were the highborne close to humans ? oO'
I'm a lore enthusiast and I don't recall humans being on Kalimdor before WC3 and after that humans and night elves have been buddies but not highborne.
Besides powerful human mages are mostly from Eastern Kingdoms, not much proximity there.
And close to Drainei, what ?? Dude Drainei crashed on Azeroth at BC, they surely never met any highborne before that

*facepalm*

The Kaldorei's closest allies in the Alliance are the humans, worgen and draenei, all prolific arcane users.

I wasn't talking about the Highborne, I was simply saying that even if the Highborne were not accepted back, the night elves would eventually become more tolerant of arcane magic due to its presence in the Alliance.

I guess naaru warlocks are uncommon.
