Void elf demon hunter makes zero sense. Night elf paladin does.

maâam, i agree whole-heartedly with your list⌠though i will add pandaren druids to it. they worship the celestials who are wild gods. the loa are wild gods, plus, their forms would be based off the celestials and AWESOME.
also, dwarf druid forms make themselves! snow-leopard, polar bear, ram, gryphon, seal, and⌠unused moonkin colour with a beard/braids, itâs so easy!
surprisingly, i agree. i mean, there were some pandaren who went to outland back in wc3 (mind you, we didânt seeâem in bc, but hey, they couldâve headed off to mardum as dh, you never know!).
câmon blizz give us these combos!

Really feels a lot like this entire OP was just created so theyâd be able to sneak in âgive us void elf dhs and paladinsâ tbh.

There are 194 race/class combos. 194!!!
Why is this not enough? How overindulged are people these days that 194 options is not enough?
Personally, I think they should remove or change several they already have like Night Elf mages, Goblin Shamans, Undead priests (make it shadow only) and Tauren paladins (change the name).
This is my list of class combo additions for all races. I disagree with some of yours but I think my list explains why and you might find those reasons persuasive. (Or not! 
)
Alliance
Human
Druid: So all the Gilneans that were druids got turned into worgen? I doubt it. And Kul Tiran and worgens wonât teach regular humans to be druids? Doubt that too. Letâs be straight. Humans are a popular universal race. Like orcs. Give them as much as you can.
Nightelf
Paladin: They have been priests from day one. There are canonized NE paladins. The priests are adding to their lore with all the Elune stuff, adding paladins is a next logical step.
Gnome
None, they have great options that can be better balanced out with mechagnomes.
Draeni
Demon hunter: What happened to all the eradar draeni? Were there none that want to come back and use their demonic powers to redeem themselves? Keep in mind Velenâs son died BEFORE the device that reincarnated demons was destroyed. Perfect story line opportunity to bring him back in a way that isnât so tragic.
Worgen
Paladin: Gilâneans were in the second war. Second war was fought with paladins in place of knights. Ergo worgen have paladins and always should have.
Monk: Suggest it be an Exileâs reach only option to fit with lore. This way all races can have monks which seems to be Blizzardâs intent.
Void elf
Paladin: If void elves can have holy priests, and lightforged draeni can have shadow priests, there is noting to say a void elf could not be a paladin.
Demon hunter: no brainier option. Anyone who would infuse themselves with fel wouldnât bat an eye to do some void, and vice versa.
Lightforged draeni
Rogue: They have been fighting the burning legion for centuries. That they wouldnât have developed a covert ops division is not justifiable.
Monk: No brainier. Should have been there already.
Dwarves
None. Excellent selection complemented with dark iron.
Dark iron Dwarves
None. They have almost all options anyway.
Kul tiran
Paladin: Same as worgen, significant participants of the second war. Actually more significant than Gilâneans. âWarcraft 2 Tides of Darknessâ was literally named for their navy.
Mechagnome
Paladin: Clearly should be an option. When youâre upgrading yourself, why would a priest physically upgrade themselves and not try to become the fighter priests that paladins are canonically?
Shaman: A goblin was brought to mechagnomes as part of the alliance zone intro quest. That they would totally ignore how goblins have used tech to become shamans is kind of anti-cannonical.
Horde
Orc
Demon hunter: This one is actually great because it dips into the lore of the original non-night elf demon hunter: Grom Hellscream! Yes, he used his demonic enhanced strength to kill Mannoroth. As a bonus this adds 2 handers as a potential weapon that some have wanted.
Nightborne
Demon hunter: There are literally nightborne consuming fel as part of the storyline. Did they all just get fed to the animals in the zoo after the war was won? Or do they not reintegrate into nightborne society?
Druid: One of the bosses in Nighthold is a druid. Clearly they had them.
Undead
Paladin: There are holy undead priests. With Calia Menethil, there are holy undead. Paladins are the next logical step.
Demon hunter: If anyone hates demons more than the elves, and would do anything for revenge, even corrupt themselves with fel, it has to be the undead.
Highmountain tauren
While regular tauren have a good selection, the highmountain got the shaft with simply classic WoW options. This should be rectified.
Rogue: Logical option for a hunter themed race.
Demon hunter: Something needs to be done with the now fel infused blood totem.
Warlock: Same as above. Blood totem casters need to be reintegrated somehow.
Mage: Something different. But also with Dalaran and their new Horde allies in Suramar right next door, if they arenât being trained as mages they are just negligent for not taking advantage of the opportunities that brings.
Tauren
Good how they are. Any new options should be given to highmountain to give variety and provide a tangible difference between the 2 races.
Magâhar orc
Paladin: How anyone thought an orc would be okay just being a cloth priest with a stick, and not a plate priest with an axe, is beyond me. Major oversight here.
Troll
They already have nearly every class option.
Zandalari troll
Same as troll. One having paladins while the other has warlocks is a great way to differentiate the 2.
Blood elf
Druid: Another obvious one. That the high elves were so in tune with nature, but insisted on no druidism because Stormrage was a butt to them, is kinda silly.
Vulpera
Good selection of classes already
Goblin
Monk: Another to uniquely add with Exiles reach to keep it in line with starting zone lore.
Neutral
Pandaren
Druid: I recalled a developer saying they wanted pandaren druids, but a bear that turns into a bear just didnât make sense. Zandalari solved this issue with their unique druid forms. Pandas turning into turtles or maybe even an ox would solve this problem.

Because the world cannot subsist without Nightborne/Void Elf Druid forms?
Humankind needs these combinations. You just donât know it.

Hinted wild god background from https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086VRJXRQ/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
On page 186, when talking about the sundering and the battle between the ancients/wild gods/loa and the burning legion:
âa tiny red fox with a sly yet gnomish visage scurrying between the legs of the giantsâ
Not withstanding there are other sources, such as the Zandalari do, and right now we have almost no lore on what the Vulpera do believe besides the nomad scavenger bit, so we donât know what link there may or may not be.

Because maybe I want that 195th option. If enough people want it, Blizzard should do it. This same argument has been the argument against race/class combinations since forever. The game is richer because Blizzard ignored these complaints.
For no reason? There have been night elf mages since the beginning of vanilla. They were just part of a group not affiliated with those in the Alliance. That changed when the cataclysm required new alliances.
Goblins have a unique relationship as shamans. Quite an interesting one and VERY goblinesque.
Originally they were very shadow focused. Devouring plague was an undead priest racial ability. Balance problems resulted, so here we are now.
They have another name: Sunwalkers. Maybe you should investigate that which you complain about so you can form better thought out complaints.

This would have been better than warlocks. I do not get how these desert gypsies are like âhey I know, summoning DEMONS!â
Why canât our characters be rare?
I could retcon this in with two lines of story.
See above.
You could just say itâs an unusually intelligent cow.
Slightly tweak the visuals and naming scheme, and do an anti-paladin type thing. Similar to Belfs.
Ghost. Paladin.
All in all - donât be a party pooper.
Because Blizz specifically said youâre not.
They have an entire starter zone to contend with. And retcons are a crap way to do anything. You can wait until the storyline presents itself to create similar to what DKs got for AR.
Because Blizz gives us so many options these days for such things, hmm?
And Belfs arenât anti-paladins.
Has zero to do with what I said.
I get the feeling that you are Devilâs Advocating here, but okay - Iâll bite.
Blizzard says a lot of things. None of which are set in stone.
WoW as it stands is one giant retcon. There is nothing wrong with a retcon, as long as itâs presented well.
It would be much less work than making a new allied race. Recolored and renamed skills are something one person could knock out over a weekend.
No, they are blood knights. My point is that there is precedent, both in game and in RP games as a whole.
Iâm trying to think of a way an undead paladin could work and be cool.
Think of it this way. One of the reasons people play both MMOs and RPGs is to create their âperfectâ avatar. And arbitrary restrictions get in the way of this.
Which is why WoW is something of a dinosaur in this regard - hell, even the notoriously fussy Dungeons and Dragons P&P has dropped this.
Give players options - and build some good lore around why. Itâs not hard with a little bit of imagination.

The same reason they allied with races who freely use arcane magic? I think it is more weird for them to say âit is okay when humans do it.â
^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
is why they do and should do things. A game needs to lead with fun and trail with lore. This isnât a religion we are playing, with some ancient dogma we risk damning our souls by being apostates and heretics.
Two words.
Nightborne. Druids.
Three additional words.
Void. Elf. Druids.

Lore is easily changed with the stroke of a pen or, well, a keystroke on a keyboard I imagine.
