They should have added this to SoD. Give the Horde Paladin and give Alliance Shamans. It is clear that having two different classes is going to create an imbalance on one side or the other.
Make racials something that you choose through a rune on the necklace. Similar to what was done for the unique priest racials.
Now the factions are balanced in pvp and pve and nobody can complain when the other side has OP classes/racials/etc.
“Faction identity” is a farce and just proliferates these disparities that are impossible to balance and make fair.

I agree that both factions should have the other’s exclusive class, but while I think Dwarf makes sense in Classic for Shaman, I think Undead is the only real choice for Paladin in Classic.

Agreed. Tauren Paladins are dumb.

I mean they’re sick, but so true. Lore wise and just like the inherent nature & philosophy of the Tauren race, it just makes no sense. A fallen paladin (human or dwarf that becomes undead) being given another chance would be more world-building fitting, wielding the light in a more “justice is blind hypocrisy” sense like the scarlet crusade.
I’m sure they could justify that there’s a weird outlier wanderer for taurens who journeyed through lands of shadow and found salvation by divine grace, but that doesn’t mean there would be a knighthood of tauren paladins haha.

Hey thanks, btw Era is —>
People asking for new, fun stuff for SoD, a mode that has already added a bunch of not-classic things to Classic-like realms doesn’t hurt anything.

I didn’t like it at the beginning of sod but it would save sooo mich drama. Truth be told
Should of had these racial class combos allowed on a seasonal server very stupid they didn’t
I hate this post so much. Espexially the part about factions being a farce. This take is so antiwarcraft its bloody gross
troll paladins would make more sense with like a blood esthetic
Too late now. SOD is dead.
Undead Paladins! Tauren Paladin makes no sense.

Yes!!! Forsaken Paladin of nothing. Sir Zeliek is a prime example of a Paladin so vested in the light that not even undeath can stop him from wielding it.
A small group of former Paladins within ranks of the Forsaken would make sense lore wise being former Paladins of Lorderon.
They’d cauterize themselves with each blessing, putting themselves through tremendous agony to continue to wield the light, very thematic of Forsaken.
They could have unique skills as well, thematic to them.
Agree about the racials being available on neck rines, seeing everyone take the 25% stun resist/ troll parsing racial will be funny
i dont wanna play as a dwarf, id like to see night elf shaman tho
