The next playable race should get access to as many classes as possible

Ive been wondering why ive found the new races a little underwhelming, and i think it’s due to the lack of class options associated.

No druids, demon hunters, or death knights for either Earthen or Dracthyr. Bringing them down to 10 options.

Earthen then couldn’t be evoker. Dracthyr couldnt be shaman, paladin, or monk. After that, your limited by your own preference.

Those mostly make sense. (Shaman for Dracthyr seems reasonable) so its a problem with the race choice.

For now, Demon Hunter is a foregone conclusion. We shouldnt try to make a race be demon hunter at this point. But for thr big 3, druid, shaman, paladin, we need the next race to have them. We need them to have been around for Arthas to kill.

Limiting classes kills a race. Some people dont like the look, the lore, the feel. For example, i dont mind playing Earthen as a plate class. Less so a clothie. But theyre missing a plate option.

Demon Hunter being as restricted as it is makes sense, but it sucks. Because shorter races look absurd with their 2h attacks. And there are only 3 classes that are melee, and only use 1h weapons

  • Demon Hunter
  • Shaman
  • Rogue

One of those is hyper restricted. Another is heavily restricted. Might be fine, but the game now has 6 short races.

Im sure someones going to say “playing a 2h spec on a short race is fine.” Because this is the internet and for reason someone being against something means there isnt a clear trend and preference. If thats youre opinion, fine. But me and the playerbase say otherwise.

Tl;dr - the next playable race needs to be able to play paladin, death knight, shaman, and druid.

I think its to much expect the new race to be death knight or paladin.

I do think a new druid is coming when we eventually get the harronir.

Thats too much?

I agree because every race that cant be DK is entirely useless to me

I agree with this. Otherwise, we get complainers like the Dracthyr and have to waste time and resources making GEICO lizards happy.

Yes, given how lore heavy both classes are.

Saying it wouldn’t make sense for the next race to have Paladins and Death Knights when you don’t even know what the next race is is just silly.

They should add oozes as a playable race. It would be totally vacant, empty, without form. BUT it could take on the form of ANY CREATURE in Azeroth. It would be BEAUTIFUL to any person that played one.

Because infinite diversity is the way to go.

I’m still waiting for Arakkoa. I’d love if they could be druids, but is it weird to have animals turn into animals? Well worgen can be druids so it should be fine.

I feel like Earthen have as many classes as they realistically could.
Demon hunter, death Knight, and evoker are obvious no goes for new races.
That only leaves druid as a potential class that they didnt get. Thats a good selection imo

As there is no Lich King, there can be no more Death Knights.
Still not convinced all Races should be Druids.
