People in my guild are arguing Anduin is a paladin. Wowpedia says he’s a priest. I think he’s losing the sword by the end of 9.2 and going back to being a priest.
However, he could embrace a paladin life and obtain a new weapon, especially if he falls in love with Taelia (a paladin).
Game Mechanics-wise Anduin is a Paladin. Plate+Light powers+Melee combatant = Paladin.
Lore-wise he’s a King with light-based magical powers brought on by Priest training, and taught to fight by his Father/other skilled Armsmen and clad in the finest protective armors possible. Because he’s a King.
Holding players to one class, while letting the lore figures do whatever… kinda feels like a slap in the face to players ESPECIALLY when you consider how nice FF14 players have it. They can do all classes on one character.
