Tauren (both moose and cow) Warlocks

Just as they tried with Elves and most were overtaken? Again, this isn’t something I’ve ever seen directly referenced, but even if it were to be, it would be such a niggling retcon in comparison to the hundreds of others that have occurred. Literally one line would be required, “… and a few Orcs and Draenei survived.”
Again, given that more was retconned - quite essentially - to make Night Elves available on Outland to become new Demon Hunters, I don’t see why this is such a hot button issue for a lot of people.
Alternatively, if they go the Death Knight route, you could easily write something about demonic souls being easier to conquer after their defeat on Argus, and open it to even more than just the Illidari Orcs and Draenei.

Honestly, I’d love to see orc and draenei demon hunters if not just to make my night elf demon hunter not feel so dime a dozen. >.>
All I really want is worgen paladins… but I think every race should get one or two new options. There are several options that I’m frankly just not sure why aren’t available at this point (like worgen and goblin monks).

All races should have access to priest and monk.
Also:
Worgen- shaman, paladin
LF draenei- monks (so they can equip leather finally)
HM tauren- priests, paladins (since they explicitly worship an’she, the sun deity), warlocks (bloodtotem are part of highmountain again after legion)
Draenei- rogues, demon hunter (with Eredar skin tones)
Orc- druids, demon hunter (with fel orc skin tones)
Human -shamans (shamanism, or Tengriism, is practiced by humans today, after all).
Void elf- Paladin, demon hunter (just pallete swap the demon form to blue)
Nightborne- Demon hunter, (pallette swap the demon form to green) druid
Dwarf- druid
Pandaren- druid
Night Elf- Paladin, Shaman
Vulpera- druid would be cool.
Forsaken- Paladin. Leonid Barthalomew is one of these since vanilla. Also sir Zeilik.
The issue with shaman (somewhat), paladin (somewhat), demon hunter (medium) and druid (majorly) is assets unique to the race of that class. So there would need to be work for those in some of these cases.
These class options could be rolled out as a pre-order bonus, a .5 patch update, or whatever to cause a boost in interest in the game between major content releases.

Giving this another nudge, because dangit I want my worgen paladins or, at the very least, worgen monks. Really, I want both.
But worgen paladins, please.

They really need to change their minds. More race class combinations for Shadowlands!

Hear hear!
While I’d love some new class race combinations, I think if it was going to happen they’d have said it already.
They can always change their minds about this… They did it with blue eyes for blood elves, zanadalari paladins, etc. Just need to show them that it’s something the community wants.

No to both. Worgen are too savage to be either class.
Although, they should not have made orcs monks either, really…
But an alarming amount of the community want UD paladins. And they’re wrong.
But we can all agree that the Tuskarr need to be a playable race already. Seriously.

Love it! I hope they add new classes to the races.
I have a thread for showing your interest in a class for a race. Been trying to update it daily so everyone can see the numbers.
You should stop by.

I’ve seen more requests for Void Elf Paladins lately. Honestly they made undead priests work by saying they practice a Shadow twisted version of the light. At this point with all the special spell effects they do, I’m surprised they haven’t started doing racial coloring to spell effects. Then they could just fulfill the requests for these lore bending class options. Though there are several undead paladins, Sir Zeliek a member of the Four Horsemen was able to use the light as an undead.
But it all really comes down to blizz wanting to invest that time into their races/classes.
Tuskarr for alliance and Tortollans for the horde!

But they’ll trade with you, but it needs to be hundreds of years old.

Let’s just go ahead and make them no longer able to be warlocks, mages, or priests while we’re at it, then, if they’re so “savage.”
Or we could simplify it and remove them altogether. 
The lore changes and adapts. Worgen aren’t that savage anymore or they wouldn’t be playable. Trust me, I’d love a new class that actually capitalizes on their supposed savagery that we never get to see via racials or hidden weapons, but we don’t have that. So they deserve some more classes than the very limited range they have.

I think customizing racial spell effects could solve a lot of the “lore” issues people have with certain races gaining certain classes. But it’s on blizz to do the work.

Oh god I hope they go that route.
