If you want to follow this silly nonsense, you could also say destro warlocks and fire mages are not different either.
Or affliction warlocks and shadow priests are not different either.
Which… they are, btw.
Could be as simple as Gnomes and Mechagnomes being part of the Tyr’s Guard. Gnomes are very much interested in their Titan heritage and Tyr is a Titan Keeper associated with the Light.
The Kul Tirans already have the Order of Embers in Drustvar that could be the basis of their branch of Paladin.
I’d just take a recolored Vicious Skeletal Warhorse. Make it white and blue (the colors of Lordaeron) and replace the Horde insignia with Lordaeron’s golden “L”.
I don’t think that’s what is being said. I think what is being said is that Holy Priests and Holy Paladins use the same Light. It is wielded differently between them, though. Is that 'silly nonsense"? If so, qualify that.

It’s silly nonsense because, once again, it’s like saying affliction warlocks and shadow priests use the same shadow. They don’t.
One uses foundational shadow magic (Old Gods). The other uses evolutionary (Curses and demons).
Don’t get me wrong. They’re both umbramancers, but the philosophy is very different.
idc abt lore pls pally vulpera i want to see them go in with a sword and shield on the horse so bad lol it’ll be so cute
Paladins for all races is so vomit worthy. People just need their super speshul OC. Cringe
Paladins like Druids and Shamans have very specific lore tied to them so while I could see all of them eventually being expanded race choice wise it’s not like say Warlock, Hunter, Rogue or Warrior where I see it being like a universal class for all races because certain ones wouldn’t make sense like make sense no matter how someone tries to explain it.

Indeed, go. Beat it. Scram.
In that case, one uses Fel and the other Shadow. In the case of a Priest and a Paladin, they’re both wielding the Light, just in different ways. It’s the same Light, unlike the example of the Warlock and the Shadow Priest, who, while they both use Shadow Magic, go through different mediums to utilize it. I don’t believe the Priest and Paladin example to be silly nonsense, as the same medium is used and the same light is used. On top of that, functional equivalents exist so I doubt giving races functional Paladin equivalents would be lore-breaking. I should think it would only be so if all of them use the Light in the same way that Humans and Dwarves used it.
That’s a very narrow way to view it. There exists plenty in WoW to justify all races having some kind of Paladin, as I mentioned above. It’s not about having a special OC as much as it is having options and fun options that can be justified through established lore.
I’d rather mouth breathers like you stop ruining the lore.

Nah, they should give Alliance playable Vrykul and Horde playable Ogres before tossing out any more race/class lore.
Why not all three at once? The more, the merrier.
That’s a lore vs gameplay issue. Human, dwarf, and draenei, sure. But what about everyone else? Even if you ignore the horde entirely, not even all alliance races worship the Light. Tyrande would probably murder you for insinuating that her powers come form the Light, rather than Elune.
Just like with he warlock/s.priest example, lore wise they’re completely different, and just lumped together for the sake of gameplay simplicity. It’s easier to to make a general purpose magic school called “holy”, than to have different stats and lockouts for Light, Elune, Loa, Spirit, etc, depending on race/class.
I would love NE, Worgen and Dracthyr paladins.
Running what lore? The TG exists right in the dragon isles. Thats Blizz’s lore, not mine, cupcake
what is this fanon dreck? afflic locks and spriests are not different because they use your two imaginary categories of magic.
‘i get weirdly personal in my unhelpful smears on forum walls because i like mediocre writing, please take me seriously!’
lol
Then that only reinforces the idea of functional equivalents, though, in the case of Light users, The Holy Light is the one that Humans, Helves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Blood Elves use. That’s not a lore difference in that specific case. Their priests and paladins merely wield that light in different ways. There rest of what you describe is why I call for functional equivalents, seeing that many races get “light” from different sources. It might not have seemed it, but we do agree.
I like this one. Make it a cooperation between mechagnomes and regular gnomes.
I think this is as simple as expanding night warrior lore somehow. Yeah the whole NIGHT part has some difficult lore issues, but this is why they are paying Metzen the big bucks.
Considering what they have added it is kind of odd this one is missing. They could literally just use the normal charger if it is a mount issue.
This is pretty simple. I’m not even sure what the difference between wild gods and celestials is really supposed to be anyway. And there has been pandaren priests since forever.
I will do you one better. We have orc priests. They are tired of not swinging big axes anymore.
I mean, imagine conventional trolls finding these new loa with new powers and being like “NAH!”
They need to do something like they did with shaman where it is so absurd only a goblin would even think of it, let alone pull it off. Like building a radioactive “light” reactor where they expose and empower themselves incredible hulk style.
The groundwork is already there in the new dungeon. I’d say the lore here is done, and all that is left is for the art team to get the charger made and the crying about lore from people who play female night elf druids without any sense of irony.
I think shaman is more appropriate and I’m surprised they are not. Really for any new class for dracthyr it should be some that failed at becoming skilled evokers, so Emberthal is sending these washouts to learn other combat skills because it became apparent evokers alone can not form a self reliant force.
You also forgot Kul’tiran, which really should have had them day 1. I still don’t understand why they don’t at this point. Really weird oversight by Blizzard considering WCII and WCIII events.
Finally there are allied races, which really can just fall under the umbrella of the prime races they fall under. Like HM tauren would just follow sunwalkers.
