But the lore could be easily created and make sense.

22

Its very much there, they have just been very poor on the delivery for this xpac.

23

You are kidding yourself if you think just this xpac.

I would argue it isn’t.

24

Not easily, but yes it could.

Its why they said lore would have to be made for new race/class combinations because certain said races in the game have extreme biases against certain magics and or classes, Even being entirely ignorant to it and not easily accessible to their peoples.

Plus Legionfall Defenders can spawn as any race and can use consecration, so there is that little fun fact.

This could work and would easily explain Orc Paladins. I bet if we get a Evil Light expac, we’ll get Orc Paladins.

27

There are notable exceptions, but it doesn’t define the race, when the race shows an event that has spawned a sizeable number or said class for a race, then it becomes selectable to the player.

Not token examples.

28

I explained why it wouldn’t work above.

29

i still prefer orc paladins to void elf paladins or zandalari paladins

It could work pretty easily.

Could you please point me in the direction of these Draener orc paladins?

I must have missed them in my playthrus.

I know. It makes me sad.

We will getting all of them eventually.

I just keep hoping Blizzard goes for skins over twisting paladins further.

But when I looked at Orcs I just couldn’t really see any reason they aren’t already. I haven’t seen anything culturally that makes them anti-light.

Maybe I missed something :woman_shrugging:.

33

Orcs aren’t really a race I would expect to see get paladins any time soon.

Night Elves, Kul’Tirans, High Mountain, Forsaken I can see long before orcs.

I know some are arguing the Mag’har getting abused by the over zealous Draenei on Draenor 2, but I can’t see it.

It does, just not in the same way Human paladins are supported, and Blood Elf ones were in TBC. Wear heavy armor. Manipulate light magic. That’s all you need to functionally be a paladin. Even with fel taint, it is possible to wield light magic from within or externally. There isn’t anything stopping Orcs from taking on the functions of paladins enough to be able to be called such.

Tauren that are Paladins are actually Sunwalkers, so they only use paladin abilities simply for gameplay, because they’re not really Paladins. This is like the Sin’dorei, and Zandalari.

I’m just here waitin’ for Gnome Paladins<3

Why not?!
After taurens and trolls everything is possible just another nail in the coffin.
At this point this franchise is loosing everything special about it.

38

If they didnt use mag’har orcs for pally, I could see them using a weird lore thing like sunwalkers

These orc paladins would be shaman and just use the pally class in game, because ya know lazy lore reasons

39

The game is already struggling enough with immersiveness.

The Orcs, having nobody else to blame for their ‘honorable’ invasions, decided going to the light. Now, in the name of the light, they have any excuse they need for their ‘honorable’ warfare.

I see it already. :smiley:
