Now seems like the perfect time to add more race/class combinations. It’s been quite a while, lots more customizations are being added to existing races, Death Knights have been added for allied races, and it looks like we probably aren’t getting any all-new classes, either, so…
Could we maybe get some of these? Otherwise, I really cannot find a reason for playing through the new leveling experience, which I would like to do. But as someone who’s played WoW for ages, this feels like another WoD, with no new character creation content for me to level with (classes/races). New class-race combinations would open up more possibilities for returning (and for new) players to do more in the game again.
Because I’d sure love to see, I don’t know…
- Paladin - Worgen, Kul’Tiran, Void Elf, maybe even Night Elf? Undead? Darkspear troll? I really just want a worgen paladin, but I’d love to see all of those and I’d roll probably one of each. Worgen paladin is what I want to see most, but it makes no sense that kul’tirans can’t be paladins, either. They should have gotten Paladin from the moment they were added. Alliance could use more paladins to even out among their races, the way the Horde gets so much variety among shamans (plus the Horde got Zandalari paladins and we didn’t get Kul’Tiran paladins). But really I’d love to see more paladins for both factions.
- Monk - Worgen and Goblins, please. They need this; both of them.
- Shaman - Humans. Kul’Tirans can be shamans, let ordinary humans be shamans, too (the way that Kul’Tirans should be able to be paladins…). Since we have no way of regionally specifying RP-wise where our character comes from, this would let people play Kul’Tirans who aren’t huge (like most of the NPCs there) but are tidespeakers, etc. I’d also personally advocate for worgen shamans, as they are a very wolf-themed class, but as you can see, I have a bias and I’d prefer worgen paladins over shamans - but I would love all of the above.
- Druid - Blood elves, definitely - draenei? Maybe pandas? Dwarves?
- Rogue - Draenei.
- Mage - Tauren.
These are just a few examples.
P.S.: Yeah, I know the lore. Blizz can change the lore and work around it whenever they want to. If someone had suggested tauren paladins in the past or playble worgen at all, you would’ve been laughed out the room (I would know, because I was laughed out of the room at the playable worgen thing several times). We really need more race/class combos. It’d be fun.
Or, better stated:
