Wouldn’t they explode?

no they can be holly prieests

Doesn’t matter

Maybe I should just stick with Human. Trying a Male Draenei right now. Not really feeling it.

Aesthetically speaking, probably lightforged, but I like OG draenei more. Better customization options and a fun starting zone to boot.

Oh no no, don’t be a paladin fridge :scream:

Human is the way

There’s really only one choice.
But you’ve already answered every conceivable question in life.
Paladin. The answer is always paladin.

Per lore, undead using holy light is a bit like a snow man specializing as a fire mage. Undead priests are, per canon, all shadow priests. They’re allowed disc and holy specs in game as a concession to game play.

To date, the only exception to that rule has been Caelia Menethil.

As for void elves, the void and the holy light are explicit opposites. Void elf priests are shadow priests as a point of faith and belief. It’d be virtually impossible for them to practice holy magics. In the context of a paladin, a void elf paladin would be closer to a death knight, just replace undead aesthetics and magics with void.

Either it don’t really matter I really only made this toon for the tattoos also you get to be pretty in pink on the forums now like me.

I remembered a bit of lore from awhile back concerning Forsaken Holy Priests. This is that snippet.

The figure wore the robes of a priest of the Holy Light - not uncommon among the Forsaken, who mocked the order by wearing their garments and allowing the sacred robes to be soiled and tainted by their bloody work. Somehow, Andarin sensed, this figure was different; the robes seemed to be in almost tolerable condition, even if the body wearing them was not. “You wear the robes of a priest, Trevor. Why do you not channel the Light in battle, if you seek redemption?” The priest seemed to wince at that. “While I refuse to wield the shadow, the Light has refused me, or so it seems. And so, I am truly a broken man; I learned to wield spears of Light like Uther’s knights did in the Second. Without the Light, I am unarmed and unarmored – but not entirely helpless, as you see.” Andarin couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for the fallen priest, if his story was true. Perhaps a man, no matter how virtuous, could not channel holy power while in such a form.

Seems you’re right, Undead and by extension Void Elves cannot wield Holy magic and it’s purely a gameplay thing.

Zandalari is the correct answer.
