I know eventually ‘all classes are going to all races’ to some degree or another, but one thing I’d like to bring up is Void Elf and Nightborne Demon Hunters.
There’s already one Nightborne DH in Canon (alternate timeline from Threads of Fate Tailoring Questline). With a request for Felborne from the Nightborne Community, this would slot in excellently with that request.
Void Elves (aside from being V O I D), also wield a collection of magics based on their Class. Given there are Void-based demons with the Burning Legion, this isn’t a large stretch.
Likewise, the Nightborne and Void Elves share similar animations and applied animations with their parent races. A lot of this could be one-to-one translation, aside from art assets.
Additionally, please consider allowing ALL horn types for both genders. There are a few that are gender-locked designs (Ram comes to mind) which would look great on the other gender (forward pointing horns on females, curled horns on males, etc.).

While all you said is true but those two races are still elves, models etc would still be pretty much the same for Dh, a big change would be to allow other non elvish races to become Dh (Human, Orc, Troll etc)

The void elves would perhaps be the easiest to implement, but the Nightboren sadly have a different model structure then their nights elf cousins. Though the models share animations, its the model shape and textures that bring into question a smooth application of said DH class. The animations might not be a problem, but each races skeleton for animation isn’t universal. So Nightborne would be about as hard as making a human DH. Not to mention texture mapping new tattoos, and new horn placement on there head, and well fitted blindfolds and new fel skin textures.

I actually do a lot of work on trimming and re-doing WoW models. I do agree that animations and assets will need some tuning, but it is easier to some degree than re-baking from scratch. Thankfully a good deal of the UV Mapping is tight enough that, aside from texture detailing on the more demonic skins, most can go one-to-one vs. the higher detailed works like tattoos.
It’s still a HUGE hurdle, particularly with collision tweaks on anims and what will likely need to be new voice lines to meet standard, but it’s easier to achieve vs. working on Humans/Orcs as a start (of which I hope one day they’ll come). Finger’s crossed!

Gnomes , mecha gnome DH please
i like that its only for blood elves and night elves. not everything should be race wide imo. makes them niche and more unique. if i see a troll demon hunter ill know its time to leave WoW lmao
I think DH needs to stay Blood Elf and Night Elf
