Heya,
First and foremost I’m not asking for Horde Paladins or Alliance Shamans (not against it) but asking to even out class races choices.
For Example,
-
Shamans, a faction exclusive class has 3 options, what I’m asking is why can’t Alliance get 3 options for Paladins?, perhaps Night Elves.
-
Rogue, all Alliance races can be Rogues, let all Horde as well.
-
Priest, opened to Tauren (all priests are getting racial skill in SoD), although I’d argue for all races to be able to be priests.
-
Hunters, opened to Humans. Although all races could easily be Hunters as well.
In a sense it’s just making the combinations of classes even on both sides, so each class on either faction have the same choices in regards to the number of races they can be.

So, Light Elves? I don’t see it lore wise. I think they’re stuffing enough junk from later expansions in the season already. Let’s try to leave a little Classic in this classic season, shall we?

Please, can we not have tauren rogues and priests? It’s so anti-thematic.
Trying to imagine a bus sized bull sneaking around on it’s tippy-toe hooves for the sake of stealth is some cartoon level comedy that’s best left for retail.
Not to mention taurens are “pure” and tribal , they believe in the earth mother and follow the ways of their ancestors ( they mention it like literally everytime you talk to a tauren npc) , holy follows the way of the light which isn’t part of that scope of faith. at least canon lore wise ( we don’t talk about how they butchered it with retail lore ).
Also, since we’re on the topic of light, blizzard did a mistake giving paladins to tauren specifically because of their theme.
If we go by thematics, light and dark belong to a spectrum that only cunning races can belong to, taurens are pure of heart thus cannot fall within the concepts of fanatisme or corruption, thus cannot be a priest of either kind (light/shadow).
As such, undead would have made more sense for a paladin class, given that they could have been one prior to dying ( just like holy priests) and the same concept applies.
Furthermore, rogues in lore are cold-blooded assassins/mercenaries who have no morals or regards towards anyone but themselves, it cannot be further away from the tauren’s nature. Like mixing oil and water.
There’s a reason many players prefer classic over retail, this is one of them.

It being set in classic apparently isn’t enough “leave a little classic in this classic season”

Is there a class that cannot be a race that is considered better for that class? Pally for instance can already be the 2 best races that you would want anyway.

Paladins will be dwarf for pvp and human for pve. For horde rogues orc/troll are bis for pve. If you have an offense cd or passive weapon skill boost it will be good.
Yeah, I would support any move that gives racial bonuses that dont force that kind of selection. Give dwarves axe/mace skill or remove weapon skill all together.

They should add the class/races comboes that were scrapped due to technical limitations like human hunters.
For the rest I’m not sure they make sense at that point in the lore.
