i want to be a draenei druid

I’m on the edge on this.
Draenei is my favourite race (every that can be a Draenei is a Draenei of my characters)
However it doesn’t feel like we match being druids

Draenei Druids could be interesting if they took forms of animals native to Argus, like the Panthara for Feral form.

They’re working on it OP, multiple interviews on multiple sites and on YouTube have mentioned that Blizzard plans on opening all classes to all races.
They’re gonna have Druid, Shaman, and Paladin also take a while for obvious reasons, as well as some whacky class/race combos for story reasons, AKA Draenei Warlock was the one they used for example.

More options would be awesome. I’ve wanted night elf paladins for a very long time.
Ever since I first started playing, I wanted draenei to have druids and rogues, and they just got the latter, so they’re halfway there.
Not just Argus, but also Draenor and Outland since they’ve lived on all of those worlds.
Moonkin Form could be another use of the high arakkoa rig.
Flight Form could be a kaliri, or maybe a nether ray, mana ray, or ravager.
I have no idea what the Bear Form would be. Most likely just a blue/purple/green/white bear with tendrils and jewelry.
Some will argue that they don’t make sense as druids because they’re not native to Azeroth, they’re too Light-centric, or they’re too dependent on technology, which are pretty flimsy excuses when draenei, orc, and goblin shaman all exist. I would argue that they at least make more sense than undead and void elf druids even though people have been pitching those more often.

They already said the dev team is working towards all races, all classes, which is why they unlocked Rogues, Mages and Priests.
They said the other classes require lore and/or art assets, so they will take time.
(Druids require forms, Paladins require class mounts, shaman require totems, all 3 would require lore.)
Monks and Warlocks honestly should have been unlocked as well, to be honest. Monks I understand only because Worgen and Goblin are still missing a couple animations (though tbh, if you use toys to transform into those races, it’s not reallyu noticeable so I think it would’ve been fine), but at least Lightforged should’ve gotten them until they were added.
Zero reason for Warlocks to not be unlocked for all races though.
Fun Fact: Back in the old forums, we were told during Cataclysm Beta that the original plan was Draenei Druid as the new Alliance druid race, but they scrapped it last minute for Worgen Druid - which is why Draenei didn’t have a new class in Cataclysm unlike every other race.
So the writers clearly have some sort of lore already made up for Draenei Druids and there must be concept art of Draenei Druid forms in the systems somewhere.

We did already get a night elf paladin during the legion class campaign so theres the start of their lore

No one cares about lore. Just unlock everything and use temporary models.
There’s both lore and pragmatic reasons as to why these classes are more limited.
Even if we throw lore out of the window, they need to spend a lot of manhours to design new druid forms, new totems and new paladin mounts, taking these artists off other projects like… the next expansion, for example.
Not saying its undoable but i can see why its not high priority for them.
Not like i’m against it. I’d turn my Shaman into a Worgen or Dracthyr in a second if that was an option.
GNOME DRUIDS!!!
oh my word, I love my Night Elf. Don’t get me wrong, I think Meriweather is awesome.
But if I could make her a gnome? I’d drop the Nelf like a hot potato.
Yeah! Imagine all the shenanigans we could be up to in a cute little goat form! Happy little boops for all.
That’s amazing and you’re awesome <3.

I stand corrected then Maizou. That’s some cool news.
Forsaken Druids! Why not? Just because we’re rotting flesh doesn’t mean that we can’t care about nature!

That’s why we need Half Draenei / Half Night Elves. So they can be Druids.
Much better than Half barbie Elf / Half Human potential.
How about undead versions of all races? I’ve seen undead gnomes, why not everyone else?

If everyone is ok with pretending void elves are the alliance high elves, they ought to have paladins. Could just use a normal charger like human paladins. No lore needed either tbh.
