Night Elf Paladins make way more sense than Gnome Paladins.
Paladins aren't Priest + Warrior.
Paladins actually draw power from a totally different source and have much stricter rules than Priests.
FFXIV - Maduin (Dynamis DC)
Lore-wise it would make sense. That in terms of race/class ratio, the Alliance is missing one paladin option, and Gnome is missing a class option in comparison to other races. Gnome Paladin would fit perfectly not just lore, but also in terms of race+class combos.
But most people here wouldn't care. There is just blind hatred for gnomes.
Yes obviously impossible. Just like magic and dragons. Or Goblins and Dwarves being warriors despite only being a foot taller. Oh yes, let's ignore all the other stuff that would be impossible, just reserve that for stuff we don't like....
Paladins are essentially priest+warrior lore-wise. Turaylon was a priest then was trained in fighting.The only different between a priest and a paladin really is that the paladin imbues himself and his own attacks with the Light.
Pretty sure that's exactly what they are. Granted they don't use the skill set of both world, but Uther was a warrior that became a priest and then a paladin. Turaylon was a priest that trained as a warrior and became a paladin.
And all paladins and priest draw their power from the same source. The Light.
Another "Gnomes need X class". I honestly admit I've never seen paladins being asked for. Anyway, fuck no. Gnomes lessen the Warrior and DK class already, don't add the paladins too.
But it crossed other people's minds, which is something you need to understand.
For example I couldn't care less about the dance studio but I'm not going to TELL people to STOP asking for it because I recognize that it would improve the experience for people other than myself.
Paladins would be good, but hunters would be even better.
Hell no..
Is everything ok upstairs?
Unlocking all race/class combinations would be nice, and actually make things more interesting. Problem is people who care more about keeping their lore ducks in a row than game play will throw a temper tantrum.
[x] vote for gnome paladins
in fact, every class should be playable as gnome.
Gnome Hunters should happen, I think every race should have Hunters, like all of them have Warriors. Can't understand why Humans and Undead didn't have Hunters before Cata.
Anyways Undead Druid would be fun.
ITT: people determined to smash remaining Lore.
Yes. They stretched it a bit with worgen Druids, Tauren paladins and goblin shamans.
I'd say throw the gnomes the hunter thing to shut them up, but paladins, shamans and Druids do not belong on the gnome list.

Sir Zeliek was a terrible example. First, he was held against his will an hated every second of it. Why? Because the basic tenants of paladins is to be against such a thing. He tried to warn players away because he isn't want to kill them.

Because gnomes and animals don't mix? He'll their mounts aren't even animals. They live in a mechanical city totally cut off from nature. They won't be tending to cats, training dogs and learning to have a relationship with spiders.
That is why. No contact with animals in their society, so no hunters.
Here, let me help you out, the underlying message of the post is: "FORSAKEN PALADINS ARE SUPER UNLIKELY BUT THEY'RE MORE LIKELY THAN GNOME PALADINS EVEN PLAYING BY YOUR RULES. THIS IS NOT A POST ARGUING FOR FORSAKEN PALADINS, RATHER AN ANALOGY TO SHOW YOU HOW STUPID GNOME PALADINS WOULD BE."
Is that clear enough for you?
The class is more about ranged combat with pets in addition to that. Gnomes are all about guns. That's why it makes zero sense for them to be missing.
Besides they have been living outside of Gnomeregan for quite a while now and also share much culture with the Dwarves. There is no reason they couldn't have tamed the same beasts of Dun Morogh.
Gnome priests make less sense than Gnome hunters by a wide margin.
