Because of extra assets - totems, druid forms, paladin mount, etc.
All are things that can be created.
Also it’d be real dumb if they couldn’t be druid, and that’s the hardest thing to create assets for. They are the one race in the game with the dream built in.

Um and what, they can’t be created???
Lol that’s a very minor passive racial come on. And it’s because of worgen form lore wise.
Again, you can’t meet me half way and force worgen form 10 sec into combat?
I haven’t checked, so I could be wrong but I’m 90% sure Drac has at least some if not all of the other class’ animations because even though Drac can’t be paladins yet, a paladin can use a toy like Ai-Li’s Skymirror, and some toys like Hearthstones use class specific animations.
The Fire Eater’s Hearthstone from Midsumer for example uses the paladin book animation when you cast it, and the Deepdweller, and Necrolord hearthstones use the Chaos Bolt animations from Warlock, and both work fine on Dracthyr, even though they can’t be either of those classes (yet).
They have staff and spear animations, but my Dracthyr still uses 1 handed animations for 2 handed swords.
The funny thing is they didn’t even always have a staff animation, they used to use the 1 handed animations for that too, and only got the staff animation in the Forbidden Reach patch iirc. they also had to add priest animations at some point I think it was at DF launch? When I made my Dracthyr during Pre Patch I tried to use the Tazavesh Gearglider mount and the levitate part of the summon animation didn’t work lol.
So is Shadowmeld and Stoneform. What’s the point?
True, I just think those are reasons those specific classes won’t be available when Dracthyr get new classes at that time but they definitely will become available at some time.
I wish we could have the option to use whichever attack animation we wanted; sometimes the shoulders clip into my character using the standard Human two-handed idle attack animation.
Just saying dont set your expectations high.
It’s not so much a lore thing as it is that adding druids/paladins/shamans to any new race requires additional art first. Paladins have a mount, shamans have totems, druids have animal forms. We may someday see every class made available on every race, but those 3 in particular are difficult to proliferate.

I think expecting all races to be paladins is very reasonable after the Tyrs guard quest line

I doubt Paladin will be a class open to Dracthyr, though if I’m wrong then; Dracancelot.

When ion said they were working on the animations, i believe he probably must be talking about monk because there are allready ingame animations for every single other class for dracthyr dragon form, even the unique casting animations of, paladin, mage, dk and warlock are allready ingame and you can even preview them allready by using the shape changing mirror on a Dracthyr ingame, on the Wowheaddresser, and using the Narcissus addon’s photo mode.

That is so clever.
I love clever.
for you!
And based on that, I think you would do better to come up with a name yourself.
(P.S. I normally give out sweets but I don’t think your digestive system is built for that.)
