Hello! It would be really cool to see Orc and Night Elf paladins sometime this expansion. I know paladin requires more effort as it has a class mount, but these two races make plenty of sense in terms of being a paladin and already have NPCs in the game or in the story.
Now I fully support all races being all classes personally, but it would be really cool to add these soon. Night elves are very unique on alliance, and currently the available paladin races on alliance are not really varied. Two draenei races, two dwarf races and human is pretty boring and nelves were already added into the game as paladins a few years ago.
In terms of orcs, they already have an entity/entities they fully believe in and call on for aid which is usually what is required to be a paladin (devotion to an entity/power). They can be priests and warriors as well, and are also shown to be paladins in yrels lightforged army. This would be cool to see!
Hopefully we can see more race/class combos soon, more customization is good for WoW. Again, i support all class/race combos, at this point lines have already been crossed with some races being certain classes. Attempting to apply reason and logic to this doesn’t make much sense anymore imo but its time for new options regardless.

I’ll hijack this and add that I’d like to see more forsaken races added also.
Why not an Undead Draenei Paladin huh?
How cool would that be?

I’d paid faction swap for an Undead Paladin.
we need that gnome paladin.
Panda, Night Elf, and Forsaken Paladins plz
All of those listed are great options too. Forsaken was third on my list that I would want to see soon, or void elf paladins too.
Vulpera pally also please.
All of those are good! Would really hope for orc and night elf paladins next though mostly because they are some of the longest standing races and have had paladins added to their race in recent years (WoD/legion) in the story so I would like to see those -soon-. Like this expansion ideally, eventually would like to see everything open up though.
I think the class mount is relatively easy to do for orc/night elf as well in terms of ideas as well, a wolf decked out in paladin armor and a tiger decked out in paladin armor that matches their races paladin aesthetic (Ie probably elune based for night elves) seems cool.
These two races to me are the next best step for paladins. They are also some of the more popular races which seems smart to do first outside of the other reasons. After that probably undead and Kul’tiran, then highmountain and void elves imo.
or we can not corrupt the paladin class with that unholiness…

Alright but Tyr represents this change much like Bolvar recruiting Death Knights. His Keeper power isn’t too holy to harm the Desolated, Mag’har, and Void elves.
I would like to see paladins unlocked for night elves, gnomes, mechagnomes, Kul Tirans, Highmountain tauren, and maybe worgen and dracthyr, but I’m convinced most of those are a long way off.
I dont know if you know this, but they have already stated every race will be every class eventually. So, with that being said by the devs themselves, it doesn’t really matter who disagrees with what race being what class, it is going to happen.
Orcs and Night elves are just popular choices, and also have already been paladins in WoWs story (WoD/Mag’har questline and Legion).
Also, at this point, paladins don’t really have much lore stopping them from being other races. You could maybe make a case for void elves sure, but its been stated multiple times all a race needs to become a paladin is faith in some higher being/entity, or very strong belief in a cause. That opens the book for a lot of races, hence why a night elf was able to become a paladin just like that, same with zandalari who initially were not going to even be paladins.
