Most Ridiculous Race+Class Combo?

[MrHappy]

So glad people are starting to say Tauren Paladins. It's so fucking stupid. A well-done retcon I can take, but this is just lazy as hell.

Edit: Tier list of ridiculousness

1. Tauren Paladins
2. Freaking Night Elf Mages wtf wtf wtf
3. Midget-race warriors
4. Pandaren anything
5. Undead DK's - unless they're named "Unundead" or "Reundead."

1. They are Sunwalkers. Different"light lore-wise. Human paladin light is holy. Nightelf get their power from the Moon and Tauren from it's opposite the Sun. Two sides to a coin that is The Earth Mother. It would be just weird to have identical spells with different names for Tauren.
2. Night elves were always capable of using magic. It was just taboo. After the Sundering, night elven society outlawed arcane magic on pain of death. In Cata we saw a Highborne agent sought an audience with Tyrande Whisperwind, to offer that they put their differences aside and combine their resources and skills to prepare for deathwing
3. Well they are not human. The first gnomes that came into existence were mechagnomes who were turned into gnomes with the Curse of Flesh...didn't say anything about making them weaker...just mortal. I get appearances maybe weird but that does not make them weak.
4. Whats wrong with that? If we can learn from them why can't they learn from us?
5. Undead DK's is not an undead that has been reanimated. It is Scourge that was once freed by Sylvanas that became the forsaken that were reassimilated / brought back into the fold as scourge under the LK's influence. Undead DK is really a result of a power struggle of control of your will. Will of the LK vs Will of the Forsaken.

See undead intro text

You don't remember me, do you? We were humans once - long, long ago - until Lordaeron fell to the Scourge. Your transformation to a Scourge zombie came shortly after my own. Not long after that, our minds were freed by the Dark Lady.
A pact was made, brother! We vowed vengeance against the Lich King! For what he had done to us! We battled the Scourge as Forsaken, pushing them back into the plaguelands and freeing Tirisfal! You and I were champions of the Forsaken!
Listen to me, <name>. You must fight against the Lich King's control. He is a monster that wants to see this world - our world - in ruin. Don't let him use you to accomplish his goals AGAIN. You were once a hero and you can be again. Fight, damn you! Fight his control!

Honestly the only weird one is Goblin Shaman because they use tech to force the elements vs being attuned to them which is a technicality vs actual lore behind it.

[Tyze]

Gnome and Goblin warrior

[CasualFilth]

I cannot believe no one has said this yet:

Undead Monk

Considering 'Chi' is the power of LIFE's essence..

[NuLogic]

Cool meme bro. Here are facts: Paladin in the lore is just a name for members of an organization formed by humans and dwarves during the second war to combat the undead and demons, Paladin in the sense of RBG archetype does not necessarily involve knighthood. Also get this, the Knights of the Silver Hand are *not* the original WOW Holy Warrior.

What's ridiculous is that by the definitions people like you throw out there no one else who is called a Paladin for gameplay purposes is a Paladin, even though by most RBG gameplay standards they most certainly are. Draenei ain't got no Knighthood shit going on either y'all.

Truth is that a lot of people Paladins actually have like a class fantasy of basically just being a racist. Apparently they have no idea that the Crusades and such were an extremely racist thing, and that racism and religion are very much linked in the real world.

Draenei were a retcon so humans were the og paladins.

[exdeath202]

i always considered the most ridicoulous combo to be MALE TAUREN SHADOW PRIEST.

[Sastank]

Zandalari Paladins.

Just to trigger people.

Glad we don't have it

[Khaza-R]

Goblin Shamans shouldn’t exist

[WskyDK]

Void Elf Warlock.
I main one at this point, and it just feels weird.

... Sooo what are you trying to say, exactly? Because I don't really feel like what you're saying is disupting what I said. Also, the only definition I've known RBG by is "Rated Battleground."

I DEMAND they add Gnome Druids at some point. Cub form, Kitten form, Moonkinlette form, Canary form, and Deer calf form. And Shrub form.

You are my hero :3

Now, it happened to me to want to roll a pally. Since I am horde 4 life, I had to go BE or Tauren; I didn't really like the former, but I had to... Holy cows are too much for me. Udder the Milkbringer, as ppl used to tell back in Cata

[Re4leader1]

Human priest is a pretty wild combo esp of you name the George or Anna or something crazy... oh boy I need to take a seat

[meowfurion]

Alternative, robot forms. And when the gnome shapeshifts it makes that transformers noise. You know the one.

Let's just address the elephant in the room, it's because Blizz can't be assed to do totems, druid forms and pally mounts for a dozen+ races.

But that would go against the entire reason any race is ever a Druid. Nature and junk.

.......although I won't lie. That's a really good idea. I would play one. Mechagnome Mechakitty, Mechabear, Mechabirdy, and Mechadeer, and Mechamoonkin.

SOMEONE FAN ART THIS RIGHT NAO PLS!

[Deleted]

Zandalari Paladins, kappa

[Unholyground]

Night Elf Mage, because it casually throws out ten thousand years of culture. Not that Blizzard paid attention to that stuff in the first place.

All cultures change and dilute over time.

[Soon-TM]

Mechamoonkin definitely should be a thing.

And suddenly everyone wants Gnome Druids..

It's silly enough as to lure Blizz into actually doing it :P

[MrWolly]

Goblin Holy/Disc priest. I mean, what?

[Shadowsgrace]

and Deer calf form.

I think you meant Fawn form?

And Shrub form.

Shrub could work, but I'd call it Sprout.

Why christian? I always thought of jewish medieval knight.

Pretty sure the concept of a "Paladin" is based off the Knights Templar, which was a well trained, well armed, Christian Military Organization. Not that I really care.

[D3athsting]

Undead paladin hands down

If we consider existing ones gnome warrior (especially tank) and male orc rogue win

I tried to make a Tauren Paladin, but when it wouldn't let me use the name <Sirloin> I gave up.

[Kluian05]

Tauren Priest and Tauren Paladin ... just ridiculous and look silly. Wish they never let that combo in the game.
