What race is your paladin and why?

[Ryuji]

I'm curious what race(and gender) you chose for your paladin and what the reason is for that.

I'm currently human male paladin since it just...fits it feels like for me. I think of Uther, the Highlords Alexandros Mograine and Tirion Fordring, Turalyon, etc.

I know some people consider humans boring but to me, armor looks best on them. I have been thinking of race changing to a male Lightforged Draenei though... but I can't get past the hoof thing. >_>

[Audriele]

Blood elf for arcane torrent.. the aoe silence + extra holy power is nice. Also, slutmog

[Teri]

Blood elf, was the only horde option on creation in TBC/Wotlk.

And no Nightborne/Highmountain paladin options, and not looking like Zandalari will be either.

Why not regular Tauren? Already have a Tauren Priest, feels more unique due to it being the only Cloth class option.

[Saphyron]

Dwarf. Just because it is a dwarf.

[Deleted]

Blood elf because tauren paladins are ridiculus bullshit and elven paladins are cool and fuck playing alliance

[Mirishka]

My main paladin is Draenei, and I made a new LF Draenei paladin that's like 27 or 28. I have a human paladin on one of my extra accounts but eh, she bores me.

[Polygons]

Dwarf, I always felt like Paladins belonged on Alliance and I enjoy the theme of a holy Dwarf with a hammer. Tempted to level a Lightforged Draenei, though.

[Stormgnoef]

Blood elf female well because that ass and casting animation.

[iETHOSi]

A human male because my Paladin is Mograine.

[Super Kami Dende]

Human, because I originally modeled his look after my own IRL.

[Stelio Kontos]

Draenei, namely for their racial story, and I'm fascinated by the idea of alien holy warriors/crusaders.

[Logwyn]

Human.

Not horde as on creation horde couldn't be pallys.
Not dwarf because 2h spinning like a top looks silly...
Not goat-legs as they did not exist in 'nilla.

Come BC.......

No switching to horde to be an elf... yuck elf pally....
Male-goat men look like they have a corn cob shoved up their butt. Did not want to be female.

As for now..... been Human to long to change.

Exactly this. Not paying to race change to something that looks and feels even more thematically wrong to me either.

I did make my first toon ever a Human Paladin because I was a Warcraft 1, 2 and 3 player and it's just how Paladins were supposed to be in my mind. Eventually also spent a stint on Alliance side during Cata and I race/faction changed to Draenei cuz of that TBC cinematic where you see Maraad gearing up into T4. Just looks cool as shit (and I had the set)

[CptEgo]

Dwarf because I love Dwarves.

[Scrubity]

BE because horde. Female since I might aswell enjoy the posterior view in 3rd person

[Vahlen37]

Was female Draenei initially, but since I transferred my main to horde about a year or so ago, now it's belf. Way better casting animations in any case

[krille20]

Blood elf. Because I didnt want to play a Tauren at the time, but now I'd be perfectly fine with playing a tauren if the race chance wasnt so incredibly overpriced. And because I dont play Alliance anymore.

[Volitar]

Was a Human because I thought Dwarfs were ugly and retarded (still do) and then when I went Horde I had to choose Belf because that was the only Horde race.. Tauren Paladins look ugly as hell so I'm not changing. I was hoping for Zandalari but Blizzard shit on that dream so Belf I will stay.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Blood Elf female (my first pala, started as Human back in WOTLK, race changed to Belf mid-MoP as I went back Horde)
Male Tauren
Male Dwarf
Male Draenei
Female Tauren
Female Lightforged Draenei

I go for class/race combos that look good in a class' sets of gear, but human males are just too damned horrible when it comes to run animations and shit... Which sucks, because I think they look the best as Paladins.

[Daedius]

Tauren, because I play on Horde and I would rather play that over Blood Elves.
