I really don’t have any articulate arguments to be honest. All I know is, I’ve been playing this game for a long time. Two thirds of my life really, and naturally over this time I have played and leveled up many characters. Unfortunately, I can never stick to one for long. Nothing I’ve leveled has had that certain thing that just hooks me in and holds my attention.
The one thing I’ve consistently wanted and dream of is FORSAKEN PALADIN. I often say I would permanently sub if I ever got to have my undead pally. I know as of now there are toys and items that would let me pretend to be undead as a pally but that is just a lame bandage.
The lore is there. The set up with the reclamation of Undercity as well as an established order of undead pallys. You don’t even need a special horse or anything for the class mount. They were humans… Just give me the horse dude.
No argument anyone makes here can change my mind. I’ve wanted this since WOTLK and I’ll continue to hope for it sooner rather than later.
I want one character to do everything. Every quest. Every title. Every achievement.
And I want that character to be a Forsaken Paladin.
To me, that seems like an oxymoron. It doesn’t make sense to me. But my opinion on someone else’s preferred play style holds no weight.
If someone wants to play a stealth cow, have at it. And if someone (read: me) wants a bony, undead paladin, let 'em. It’s just a game. The idea is to have fun. If players think those things are fun then Blizz should make it happen.
I think Blizz likes to have a reason to do things lorewise, and maybe that’s what they need help with. I’m not sure of the implications. Foresaken can already be priests. Yea, paladins aren’t the same, but maybe like a redemption thing after being reanimated, idk. All I know is to have a death paladin faction would be so cool.
