You pretty easily can

Void Elves = Weird Elves warped by the upside down to serve the purpose of ending High Elf spam threads

When they start treating the game like a proper RPG experience again and let us have class gylphs that effect animations again.
Moment we can change the colour of spells, there’s no reason not to.
Also Arator for the first Void Elf Paladin.

They literally cannot add Undead Paladins, unless they completely throw out the game’s lore.
Which… they might. But yeah, it would basically be an open admission that “nothing matters!”

Undead Paladins have always been possible within the lore, nothing would need to get “thrown out”

I’m against this tbh. imho
No new race/class combos. It waters the existing ones down, cheapens 'em.
People have varied tastes. If everyone could make their dream combo, without lines drawn in the sand, there would be Pandaren Demon Hunters, Goblin Paladins…
… and while a few people would be really happy, WoW as a whole would look worse.
Your specific proposed additions aren’t as bad, imho, but still I’m against it.

Nope.
The Light damages the Undead. Forsaken Priests can wield the Light, because it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re touching it. They’ve even explicitly said that when Undead are “healed” with Light-based spells, the wounds are effectively being cauterized.
Paladins don’t merely wield the Light, their bodies are literally infused with it. This is explained in great detail in the Tirion short-story, Of Blood and Honor. Tirion physically becomes weak when his tie to the Light is cut off. It’s also why Paladins were immune to the plague of Undeath.

no the right thing was to never make draenei in the first place.
Paladins aren’t infused with the light. There is no fundamental difference between a paladin and priest other than how they use the light in the field. The Silver Hand ceremony is that of a blessing (akin to giving someone a buff), not an infusion.
Of Blood and Honor (Chapter 2):
- “Archbishop: In the Light, we gather to empower our brother. In its grace, he will be made anew. In its power, he shall educate the masses. In its strength, he shall combat the shadow. And, in its wisdom, he shall lead his brethren to the eternal rewards of paradise.”
- “Archbishop: Clerics of the Northshire, if you deem this man worthy, place your blessings upon him.
One of the clerics comes with a blessed dark blue embroidered stole in his hands, which he placed reverently around Tirion’s neck. Then, he dipped his thumb in a small vial of sacred oil and anointed Tirion’s forehead.” - “Archbishop: Knights of the Silver Hand, if you deem this man worthy, place your blessings upon him.
Two of the armored men comes, the first laid the warhammer before Tirion’s feet. The second, Saidan Dathrohan, placed the silver plates upon Tirion’s shoulders.” - “Each of the clerics and knights raised their right hands and pointed toward Tirion, empowered him with the holy light.”
Arthas: Rise of the Lich King (Part 1: Chapter 5):
- “In the Light, we gather to empower our brother.”
- & 3) are similar to the 2) & 3) from above
- “Sweat broke out on Arthas’s brow. What was going wrong? Why wasn’t the Light wrapping itself around him in blessing and benediction?”
The rest of the book makes a point that the light flows through him or he’s channeling it etc. Same as priests.
- Chapter 8 … “Maybe if he focused on fighting, on learning how to accept, and channel and direct the Light, he could get the hell over her. Over the girl he himself had broken up with”
Had he been infused, why would he need to learn to accept, channel, and direct the light? Seems like it’d only be directing.
- This ceremony is exclusive to the Order of the Silver Hand, which not all Paladins are a part of. There is no evidence to support that other Paladin individuals/races/organizations undergo the same process nor is it explicitly mentioned that it’s needed to become a Paladin.
This is just a fact. Silver Hand was originally just Humans and Dwarves.
Draenei became Paladins through the Naaru teaching them about the Light.
High Elves had Paladins through normal worship of the Light, but briefly lost in after most of them renamed to Blood Elves and had to drain it from Naaru. With the Sunwell restored, the Blood Knights returned to embracing the Light like the originally did.
Sunwalkers get the Light from basic worship of An’she, which is just a different form of the Draenei worshipping it through the Naaru and Humans/Dwarves through the Light itself.
The first Human Paladins were literally just Warrior + Priest
Tides of Darkness (Chapter 5)
- “I will establish a new branch of the Church, the paladins. I have already selected the first candidates for this order. Some were knights before but others were priests. I chose these men for both their piety and their martial prowess. They will be trained, not only in war but in prayer and in healing. And each of these valient fighters will possess both martial and spiritual power, particularly in blessing themselves and other with the strength of the Holy Light.”
And just so you’re aware there is zero statement about the ORIGINAL paladins of the Church, mentioned above, having gone through the ceremony mentioned twice earlier. This implying that the ceremony was created afterwards, and that again it isn’t necessary for one to be a Paladin.
Wielding the light is a matter of faith. Paladins don’t have the light within them. It answers their call just like with a Priest. The only Light infused mortals are Lightforged Draenei.
And before you mention the ceremony that supposedly “removed the light infusion from tirion”, that ceremony is literally just a gaslighting ceremony to make the Paladin believe they aren’t worthy and therefore their faith (and thus ability to call to the light) is disrupted. It’s why it didn’t actually succeed as he was able to rekindle his faith later after a self discovery/reflection journey.

Omg yes!!!
Why would Arator be a Void Elf, he’s the only memorable half-elf in the game? Give him a half-elf model.
Velf should never get pally class, you aren’t high elves and they didn’t have paladins either.

They are on the way . . . just like most of the other race class combos.
Yes, that does mean a lot of alliance high elf paladin role players, and I shall stand as one of them! (I’ve legit been sitting on this concept since vanilla and soon it shall be made reality)
Whether you like it or not that is what it means to remove race class restrictions . . . thou did not seriously think they’d only add the combos thy heart desired did you? hearty chuckle
All classes for all races!

Hopefully never, especially with how constantly y’all have been asking for them. Both require ridiculous amounts of lore-bending, void elves moreso than undead because the latter already exists in a small number, and I genuinely hope the devs’ comments about opening up all combos was just lip service or misinterpreted.
Take a look at some of the new combos they’re adding in DF; they’ve gotten NPCs out in the world to represent them. They added a tauren rogue NPC to the Hall of Shadows who claims that he was always there, there’s at least one tauren mage in the Kirin Tor, and the next patch adds a goblin monk NPC who sells you advice. Neither of those required new lore to be written for them because rogues, mages, and monks were already easily compatible with every race.
Now, how do you do that for void elf paladins? Not counting Alleria, the race didn’t exist during Legion’s storyline, so it’s not like they can retroactively add a void elf paladin NPC to Light’s Hope the way they added a generic high elf paladin to it. And if this NPC were even to exist, they would pretty much have to have dialogue about how they’re in constant pain.
It’s pretty absurd that people are so obsessed with giving paladins to the race that is both the thematic opposite of a paladin and specifically isn’t welcome within the Cathedral of Light because they make the NPCs there uncomfortable, but because they’re now joined at the hip with a race that people have gaslighted themselves into believing has always been a major Alliance race and has always had its own paladin order, this must be their fate.

Wonder if they have that many at the moment.
Such common sense is blasphemy!

The next class will probably be warlock.
I can see shamans and paladins added after that, since they need a little bit more work.
and all races for both factions!
