This hasn’t happened in 18 years so no.

There is no fixing a class.

Balance issues will always be an issue. This is a poor reason to do nothing neat.

I think we all know the real problem here isn’t races lacking Paladins. It’s Paladins in general.

Holy Power is such a lame resource system in it’s current form. It needs some badazzling.

Void Elf paladins don’t make sense, no matter how much someone tries to bend the lore to their favor. But Blizzard doesn’t appear to care about lore and will unlock all classes for all races eventually so it is what it is. At least we will get Belf druids.

But but but Paladins are the most unique class in the game! How dare anyone but the holy few have access to it? In fact, we must revoke all horde access to Paladin! It goes against the very principle such a majestic being stands for!

Or so that’s what I read at times. As if the lore isn’t already broken enough to support anything.

Begging for Night elf, void elf and orc paladins.

I’m not against any race being paladin but I definitely want those the most. Hopefully we start seeing some sooner rather than later, I mean they added night elf paladins years ago and they still haven’t made it in so I imagine this will take a while.

WTF did I just read?

There isn’t any bending of the lore going on. Nothing stops someone from becoming a Paladin using the Void instead of the Light. Heck, lore wise a Void Elf could extract the Void within them and just become a traditional Light Paladin.
If something can happen, it should happen.

I wont speak for other classes yet, but at least in terms of Paladin it doesn’t harm any lore to open the class up universally.

Honestly 2 of the easiest are Worgen and Kul Tiran. Just update the Human mount and repaint it into Gilnean and Kul Tiran colours.

This would likely be the best way to do it. Just auto-apply different visuals for their abilities. It wouldn’t be as extensive as most folks may think. Would mostly just be a matter of adjusting the color pallet of their abilities and setting whatever racial flags for that use. Basically the exact same thing they do now for the various druid animal forms for all of the races that can be druids.

The main thing they might have to adjust would be Consecrate. Of course they could always just reuse Defile’s visual if absolutely necessary.

I’d be perfectly cool with Void Elves getting to be Paladins so long as in-game they were visually Void Zealots blatantly not using the Light to Power their abilities.

Because while it’s long been explained that Undead priests basically experience great pain using their abilities. There’s a pretty significant established canon reason why Velves can’t just “work through the pain to channel the Light”.

Pandaren Paladins, oh and DH as well por favor.

You just want to have the beer puddle of the Alementals as an actual ability don’t you :wink:

Knowing blizzard they will completely ignore the arcane/moon theme and just slap on the standard paladin skin/ability colors.

I wouldn’t mind if they put the effort into a new arcane class. Imagine a tank spec that uses Mana as a key resource. Taking damage will drain your mana instead of your health and the goal is to generate mana because if you run out the damage will start to drain health quick.

Could use that for spellbreakers. Could be neat.

The azshara dungeon well of eternity had NE palies in cata.
