New Class-Race combos that DO fit established lore and themes?

Becoming a DH a last-ditch, desperate measure that kills nearly everyone who tries it and dooms the rest to eventual madness. I just don’t think it fits any culture in the game at present to have people be like, sure that sounds like my destiny. The circumstances just don’t exist for people to be that desperate.

Id rather get sub specs than just letting these races get druids, pallys etc
Hero Talents should be the way to this happening.

Dracthyr dk makes all sense lorewise

Because…

…money

It will bring a ton of money into Blizz pockets

They don’t care about obeying the lore anymore for class combinations. Any excuses they use with that now is just to excuse upper management’s constrictions, they do not actually care about lore.
Class/race combo lore died with Mag’har warlock and Lightforged warlock.

Clearly someone has never done the Warlock questline that was added with Warlocks for all because that was explained with that questline it’s not like it was just thrown in the game.

If anything they need to roll way back on the combo’s they already have. Only NE and Tauren should be Druids, and that is only because of the need for faction parity. Otherwise it would just be NE’s. Same deal for Human Paladins and Orc Shaman, just for faction parity BE Paladins and Dreanei Shaman. None of the silly combo’s that make no sense either like Tauren Rogues and NE Warlocks.

This homogenization of everything really ruins any chance to have unique race and class lore.

I didn’t go through all the replies but Orc Demon hunter would be fire (no pun intended)

Orcs already have a history of becoming warlocks to combat demonic forces, so becoming demon hunters is a logical next step. We also have Fel Orc’s already in Hellfire peninsula and Tanaan Jungle.

Nothing they put in the game can justify something so entirely idiotic as a member of a religious zealotry order turning to evil power.
That doesn’t even address Mag’har either. There is nothing to address with it, it just cannot exist, it’s not compatible with reality. Saying “Mag’har warlock” is like saying present absence, or down up, or cold hot.

Highmountain Demon Hunters. I will die on this hill.

Illidari are mopping up Broken Isles. They come across surviving Feltotem who are bitter for being forced to accept demon blood and their entire tribe being decimated. They are given an ultimatum: learn to control the fel and take up arms against the demons, or accept a swift death.

Also Dracthyr Druid. I can imagine Dracthyr who learn from other dragonflights as dragon cultures comingle in Dragon Isles with some gravitating towards the green dragonflight and protecting nature.

Read the book?

‘Sighs’
Alright I’ll go Down the list.

Alliance
Humans: None
Dwarves: If they aren’t planning on making Wildhammer properly Playable, Druids (Wildhammer have them.). If not, then none.
Gnomes: None
Night Elves: Paladins as there is already one, and MAYBE Shamans if they add Druids of the Flame customization.
Draenei: Demon Hunters
Worgen: None, HOWEVER you could have the Druids of the Flame Teach them how to be Druids of the Flame since they are close with the Night Elves, meaning Shaman.
Kul’tiran: None
Void Elves: None
Lightforged Draenei: None
Mechagnome: None

Horde
Orcs: I could see an paladin order forming around Lo’gash. Also Demon Hunters.
Trolls: Paladins eventually via Vol’jin.
Tauren: None
Forsaken: If they learn how to manipulate the light somehow, Paladins.
Blood Elves: None
Goblins: None
Mag’Har: None
Zandalari: Demon Hunters via the Demoniacs.
Nightbourne: Given how close they are to the Sin’dorei, I could see some learning to be Blood Knights so Paladins.
Highmountain: Paladins from Tauren, and given the Feltotem and Bloodtotem Demon Hunters.
Vulpera: Maybe Druids, specifically Desert focused ones.

Neutral
Pandaren: Honestly, there’s no Reason they shouldn’t already have Druids. Also could see a Paladin Order based on the August Celestials.
Drachthyr: Monks and Druids at minimum, in all honesty they could learn to do most classes. Death Knights if someone figures out how to raise more.
Earthen: Death Knights if Someone Figures out how to raise more.
