Hate Forsaken Priests so much unless they are Shadow.

I think he was saying they originally couldnāt be, but they changed that.

You made a claim that we are all just rank and file characters, no matter what we say about ourselves, where does your logic end, we cannot have any backstory or head-cannon outside of the game if we are applying your logic.
An argument you donāt agree with and apparently canāt refute along with āI hope you donāt get what you wantā and somehow Iām the child. The forums never cease to amaze me.
Lore was given about Forsaken Paladin. Holy Light burns them! They are part of the Cult of Forgotten Shadows.

My Druid was killed in battle and raised by the forsaken. So loyal to Elune he was that Calia (sic?) let him keep his Druid beliefs because she woke.
Now my Druid is undead, still faithful to the Druid beliefs he held in lifeā¦but got a cool skeleton with glowing innards and frame I can mog.
Sorry that wouldnāt even come close to qualifying as lore breaking to me.

Yeah, Gnomes are not a Faith based society.
I think it makes sense that in a large expansive world with different races mingling, someone of one race would be drawn to another culture and specialty.
A gnome could be like hey, Iāve never fit into my own small world but this nightelf druid stuff really interests me!
It would be an interesting roleplay!
I think less people will go outside the box honestly so it isnāt like we are going to have tons of them running around destroying immersion

They said āgnomes arenāt a faith-based cultureā and yet they already have one of the premier faith-based classes.
And yet, gnome priests exist.

Too bad Blizzard isnāt one of them.
0/10 chatGPT bait.
World of Warcraft (WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in the rich and diverse world of Azeroth.
LMAO
As long as they get mechanical forms, Iām ok with this.

The Forsaken are undead, former members of the human race who were raised by the Lich King and subsequently freed from his control. While they are physically dead, they retain their former personalities and skills. However, as undead beings, they are disconnected from the natural cycle of life and death. Druidism is deeply tied to the forces of nature, life, and the Emerald Dream, where Druids draw their power from the life force of the world around them. Druids are closely connected to the natural world, the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Their powers are based on the relationship between living beings and the Emerald Dream, which is a manifestation of the natural world in its purest, unspoiled form. Since Forsaken are dead, their existence is at odds with the natural life cycle that Druids embrace. This is the lore explanation.

For the second and final time, that is how Blizzard originally justified the restriction which races could play which classes.
If you canāt deal with that fact then we can just be done talking to each other, thatās fine.

Iām 99.99% sure thatās the only way to properly introduce them into WoW.
So other than āthatās the way it was 20 years agoā, do you have an actual point? Because thatās already not the same mindset that they have today.
This, I think even if people want to play as a race/class combo that doesnāt make sense lorewise, I still think the overwhelming majority likes the class fantasy lore and probably wouldnāt want to deviate much from that. I think most people would rather have new classes than try to completely change class fantasy/lore.
I personally care a lot more about class fantasy/lore over what race can be what class and what race can wield certain kinds of magic and stuff. Iād rather restrictions on what kinds of magic can be wielded come from the class someone plays, and not their race.
Do you have proof of that? Because the most recent commentary on the subject we have is Ion saying āgoblin and mechagnome druids wouldnāt make any senseā which seems to align with their original philosophy.

This is correct as is the statement you made about Paladins. The curse of undeath that affects the Forsaken is a constant barrier to any spiritual connection. As a result, they are more likely to be aligned with darker forces, like necromancy, rather than the spiritual forces that Druids, Paladins, and Shamans rely on. This is why they are part of the Cult of Forgotten Shadow. Anything outside of dark forces are contrary to the nature of their existence.
