if blizz will do the things right a forsaken paladin that scream in agony for every spell he cast would be cool as fuck
We're talking about PLAYABLE RACES. Who can be factions. Like the trolls, orcs, humans, worgen, goblins. Blood elves. Basically every playable race is a faction of a larger race. What seprates the dreani from bl eredar is the use of Fel magic. Like being Christian and Muslim at the same time. You can't be. While lore shows that undead can be healed and use holy light. One of the oringal four horsemen for instance. Undead paladin already exist in lore. Forsaken can wield the light. Ergo they can be paladins...
Well it's kind of funny that this thread was started because given what the future of the lore holds, with all races joining the ranks of the Army of the Light and becoming light-forged, that means all races should be able to be Priests and Paladins in-game when we get to that point in the story.
Then finally Ret paladins will get the love they think they deserve.
Druids should get more playable races, paladins have 5, druids have only 4. The only unique moonkin form is on Taurens, others are just recolords of same skin anyway.
Gnome paladins - awesome!
Troll Paladin would make sense as iirc, there was mention of Zandalari Paladin's as early as Vanilla with the Zandalari "Free-Thinkers".
On the topic of Undead Paladins though, the reason I remember Blizzard stating for it not being a thing is that even being touched by the light causes their body to "feel" again, which isn't pleasant when you're a rotting corpse.. And as Paladin's are essentially an embodiment of the light.. Yeah.
On Alliance side, I'd say Night Elf could be a good candidate.
