    Absolutely. Fighting for a cause that you believe in against evil is necessary. With the rise of blood trolls summoning an old god, what would be a better time than now to show Zandalari Paladins off? It is a very close parallel to freethinkers fighting against Hakkar, the blood god.

    The Dev Team wanted Demon Hunters at Vanilla Launch. Later it was Demon Hunters and Death Knights both being discussed alongside Necromancers before they went with Death Knights for WotLK. They didn't "Cave" in to player pressure. It's something they'd wanted to do for a -very- long time. Something they kept trying to do, realizing they didn't have the tech for, and then shelving until later.

    That said, I hope they go with the player pressure for Zandadins 'cause they -did- say they were open to considering the playerbase's concerns about class availability, at Blizzcon.

    Well on my part, there is a bit of hypocrisy, but while you are just opposed because you seem to feel troll paladins is disgusting, meanwhile I'm disgusted that everyone in the fandom thinks that Night Elves are getting Paladins, just because one became one just recently, and only one the other 2 are either just not notable, while the other is literally just a priest with a shield, I MEAN COME ON, if any race should get Paladins it should be the Worgen, who's country participated in the war where the first paladins appeared meanwhile the NEs were on the other side of the side of the world either sleeping or hugging a god damn tree, in other words, I won't respect your argument unless you give another reason then "Because I think so"

    This person is right. They wanted demon hunters for a very long time.

    I remember them fighting between Death Knights and Rune masters in WotLK. Stated in an interview after Wrath that they had the idea for the rune system but wanted to do both classes. Death Knights being ... well Death Knights and Rune masters being a martial arts Styled class. In the end Death Knights won due to being more Iconic.

    In the end, I guess we will never get Rune Masters since we got Monks and the overlap is great.

    i don't think it because of this

    they clearly know how people want it zandalari paladins but there are the alliance fanboys do complaint and claim Horde Bias because zandalari already are druids

    so they remove paladins and also removed the shaman for DI so the horde could not complaint about, its "win win scenario"

    in the end is just lose-lose

    Spam Blizzard Twitter accounts every day from now until BFA reminding them about Paladin lore and Freethinkers and demand Zandalari Paladins.

    This is how Dwarf Mage and Troll Warlocks were added during cata in the first place. People raised a humongous stink and they added them last minute.

    Twitters to spam:

    https://twitter.com/Warcraft

    https://twitter.com/WarcraftDevs

    https://twitter.com/WatcherDev

    https://twitter.com/BlizzardCS

    https://twitter.com/Blizzard_Ent



    Use the following tweet:

    I know you want to go back to basics but Lore exists, make it happen
    https://tinyurl.com/y7x2qml9 and https://tinyurl.com/ycgj9kpz. Don't forget, warlocks were added to trolls in Cata. You've consistently showcased Zandalari Paladins since then as well - Prelates MoP ToT


    These links go to the following:

If they really wanted Zandalari to have paladins they would have seeded them in more places than just a single section of a floor in a dungeon.
    Except that each time Zandalaries appeared they had connection to paladins, or had mobs that used paladin abilities.
    In Vanilla they had freethinkers (though I agree that on that we could argue that it doesn't sound like a class, and it could've been dsimissed)
    in Cata they had Juggrnauts, a heavy warriors that used Holy spells.
    and in ToT we had Prelates. The most paladin-like mob.

    I'm just pointing out that there is a record of Zandalari having warriors that use spells from Holy school of magic. Therefore paladin class fits their theme.

    Not everyone wants to play as friggin Barbie. And Zandalari are priest caste society, they live in a city with templar complex. To not have priest-warrior class for them is stupid.

    Odd, because I could swear each major paladin figure started as priest that decided to pick a sword. Like Uther, Turalyon, later Liadrin and recently Delas Moonfang.


    But I see that people are completely oblivious to the scope of power that Loas can grant.

    Loas are not as limited as nelven ancients that they only gives powers from nature school, no.

    Troll priests also aren't just shadow priests.

    Shadra the venom Queen can grant powers from BOTH shadow and Holy school : http://www.wowhead.com/npc=69132/hig...arli#abilities

    Look it up.

    How is that possible one could ask? Loas, especially from pantheon are powerful beings that can grant various powers.

    Hell Zanza the Restless can boost trolls with Arcane powers!

    Bwonsamdi the Loa of Death is also able to heal his subjects. He is not limited to mere death/soul aligned stuff.

    This is what makes Trolls so versatile, their religion alone opens almost every door for them.

    Don't forget Yrel, @Ramz !

    She was a priestess in training 'til she picked up a hammer and became a Paladin.

    You'd be wrong if you even spent 30 seconds to double check. Part of the original Silver Hand order came from warriors trained in the ways of the light.

    Like, for example... Tirion Fordring. Not a major paladin figure I realize, but he's up there.

    So Priests can become Paladins and Warriors can become Paladins.

    And the Zandalari have Both!

    Too bad they don't have Paladins.

    You know who else can be Warriors and Priests, but not Paladins? Darkspear. Goblins. Gnomes. Pandaren. Worgen. Void Elves. Nightborne. If you only count playable races, Night Elves and Undead too.

    There are more examples against this rule than there are examples of it.

    I would be but I am not?

    I was just giving examples, I'm not saying that all knights of the silver hand were originally a priests. I'm just pointing that it was a trend, that keeps going even now.

    Zandalai are priest caste their entire city is filled with various temples dedicated for each Loa, they have many High priests. It would be strange for Zandalari to not have order dedicated strictly to protect those temples, to enforce will of Loa, to guard God emperor, and many other various and interestic roles that aren carbon copy of Alliance knights.

    I’m not sure if this was already mentioned or not, but Alliance has just two races that can be druids. Horde will have four. I haven’t seen nearly as many Alliance players whining as much as Horde have been for paladins. I would trade dark iron dwarf paladins for gnome druids any day if the week.
