For example, I'd probably say a Priest makes the most sense for a Void Elf, in my mind. My reasoning is that in WC3 (and I think WC2), High Elves were often healers, and given the obvious Void influence on Shadow spec, it kind of makes sense why all of those specs would now be available to them. Warlocks, by contrast, seem to enter into pacts or contracts with demons, which isn't necessarily tied to the Void themes.
Honestly, the three I'm struggling with most are the Horde allied races, the Zandalari, Mag'har, and Vulpera.
For Vulpera, I feel like both Rogue and Hunter kind of speak to them. They seem like a surprisingly honorable people, which in some ways makes the Rogue feel a little too "dastardly" for their personalities (I can't imagine a Vulpera as a murderous assassin). And I'm not sure why, something about the Hunter always seemed to just scream "adventure" to me, which feels like kind of a fitting class for a Vulpera. But I dunno.
The Mag'har, it's definitely between Warrior and Shaman. The funny thing is that, if we'd have just been looked at the Mag'har from OUTLAND, I'd have definitely said Shaman. The Mag'har from DRAENOR, though, seem a lot more warmongering, and in the brief stint you see of them when visiting the future AU Draenor, there is nary a mention of shamanism or spiritualism, they seemed totally Garrosh-like. But then, they also seem a lot more primitive, and in touch with their roots, so... who knows?
Finally, the Zandalari... honestly, they seem unique in that I almost feel like they don't quite fit ANY class. No one class truly touches on the "Dinomancer" vibes I always got from them, the Druid forms they get are dope but don't otherwise change the broad stokes of who the Druid is, *some* things about the Shaman seem to work but not others (if there was a purely Lightning-spec, I might be more inclined). Hell, there's even a small piece of me that thinks something about the Monk kinda-sorta works for them (after all, Isle of Thunder is basically where we first met the modern incarnation of the Zandalari, even if it was a bummer killing our old friends from the ZG rep). And obviously, Paladin also *kinda* works, but also kinda doesn't.
