Currently it’d be a stupidly hard sell. If they insist of traipsing down this “Deus Vult” Yrel line, it could happen, but I honestly hope that it doesn’t.

The Void is already 10,000% evil in all it’s incarnations, no matter how desperately Blizzard tries to claim “gray morality!” Making the Light also evil/neutral in the fact of that is a stupid decision that doesn’t merit further consideration.

Those are the black rock eyes. They made them a separate option. For all orcs. But that’s black rock eyes.

I would argue maghar fire shaman paladins would be the most likely to make sense with lore. As we see a burning blade shaman using swords. I wanted shamans to use swords but I wouldn’t mind an elemental version of paladin as a reskin.

Orcs don’t follow the Light, or any religious equivalent like the tauren and Zandalari have, so no paladins. The green ones don’t even have priests, much like the Highmountain tauren who don’t have paladins, either. And more than likely the Mag’har have no interest in becoming devotees to the Light after the draenei chased them off their home planet, otherwise, they would have paladins already.

Not happening.

Fanfiction that the community collectively decided is a genuine possibility is also not happening.

Mag’har paladins then

What did I just say?

You posted a lot of lore excuses that don’t matter because we all know that is open to being changed at any given time at the whims of the writers like the other “impossible” race/class combinations that ended up happening.

And the lorelet cope commences. Like so many others, you think bad writing justifies equally bad or even worse writing.

Orcs do not worship the Light in any of its forms and got their skin tones from when they worked with demons, so no paladins. Mag’har were hunted down by the Light’s zealots, so no paladins. Having either suddenly get the class would require redefining who they are as races, unlike Kul Tirans who aren’t the same as Stormwind humans and have shaman because their faith is different. If they wanted Mag’har to have paladins, they would’ve had them back in BfA.

I haven’t seen them come up with any contrived story developments to explain pandaren suddenly having warlocks or tauren suddenly having DHs, so clearly, they still have some reservations about that sort of thing. When they gave new combos to every race except for draenei back in Cataclysm, it was things like human and undead hunters and not Sonic fanfiction-tier crap. Even tauren paladins and priests can be easily explained as those classes being an extension of their faith.

The only “impossible” combo I can think of is Lightforged DK, and even then I can see it being something like wringing a wet sponge dry and replacing the water with another liquid. We still don’t have things like draenei warlocks, undead paladins, or mechagnome druids, and more than likely never will without massive support.

I’ll remember this post when it happens :wink:

That suggestion always makes me laugh, because it goes completely against the reason Mag’har are on the Horde in the first place: Because they didn’t want to accept the Light.

54

Alliance needs a kitten race with Shamans the only class. I’ll transfer my cow!

55

oh man, the mag’har sure would love that

Except for all those mag’har priests

Mag’har Priests exist solely based on the Shadowmoon Clan, which were not Light based Priests.

if factions are being merged in the future, or that’s the direction they’re taking the game, i think orcs should be able to play DH and Pally for sure. why not?

orcs are more noble people than humans on azeroth, so it makes sense
