I hate to break it to ya, but you need to check out the light undead models. They’re even more ugly than normal undead. I hope they change it, but as of now they just look like melted undead,

They give off Venthyr of the Ember Ward vibes to me, but I’d have prefer they look a bit more like Callia.
Because I’d hoped players would get a Calia like option, and upright back for the men, lol.
Like I’d never play a Zombie anyways, but it’d be nice seeing some of them in the world compared to what the Forsaken look like now, lmao
I’d rather they be special cosmetics for undead, to be honest, but I’d definitely play one. I’m getting rather burnt-out on rehashed races that could have easily been cosmetics as allied races instead of races that would genuinely be new and unique.

Same, like unless that race is to say Port all of the Human stuff to a new Horde Race for an AR.
Or to make Orcs on the Alliance or whatever.
It doesn’t make sense to just make small cosmetic addons be thier own unique AR.

Yes, there was this cryptic preview for Legion, most likely created because no one knew what the disc was supposed to be since classic, and they still didn’t know. But during Legion, the only thing you got was a pure light artifact weapon from the Scarlet Crusade. In terms of gameplay, it’s a healer. Well, so much for this. There is no further hint in that regard.
There’s more. Night Elf priests are moonpriests, and Trolls are loapriests. Despite their different lores, both use light or void for gameplay reasons. Priests, as a class, are the example of gameplay/lore segregation because they do not recognize the races’ individual faiths.
A dark naaru is a void entity. As far as I am aware, there is no such thing as a void touch, unless you are referring to the corruption process.
That’s not void/light; it’s arcane/fel. Prior to the retcon in Chronicles, arcane/fel were essentially the same thing, with “the divine” (light, nature, etc.) serving as its polar opposite.
When you play Classic f.e., you’ll notice how the old quest texts don’t fit the new cosmology at all. This also applies to all previous novels.
That’s why you don’t do that.
Forsaken and Void Elf Priests would like to have a word with you.

This was 100% how they where going to give paladins to void elves, anyone deluding themselves that for some reason they won’t wield the light and be given, just for this race mind you, a “void” shade of light spells was never going to happen. Doing so would end up making the quiestion for one “Why does VE’s get special treatment?”, “Why don’t they do the same for forsaken and priests (making holy/disc priests also have void flavor of their spells)”, and “Why would the void all of the sudden have an easy time healing all of the sudden when it’s all about curruption, mutation, torture, and mind bending?”
And this is not to mention blizz stating they won’t do spells/animations specifically just for races with the sole exception for maybe shamans totems/druids forms. “too much resources” they would say.
It is people that asked for these all classes all races thing that threw all the class lore, magic cosmology, and world building in the water, and to expect anything less then from blizz not caring how it works just do it mentality.
For all the posturing and arguing for this class you folks for this class to be for VE, this should not be a surprise to you. And to let the community know, this OP is one of the folks that wanted VE to have natural appearances and demanded the classes be watered down just for VE’s.
Edit: To be honest I’m amused by the irony that ya guys hate this. Karma is nice to be observed. You guys used the arguement “lore be trashed” on me when I argued that VE shouldn’t get paladins along with other “class choices”, now it’s turned on you guys lol.

You phrase it as if that makes more sense.
It did not in fact die when this happened.

for people that want customizations to turn void into light and vice versa: to properly do this they would have to turn the spells into actual void or light spells, then you’d get spelllocked out of your entire spellbook as a priest when you get kicked which would kinda suck. not an issue for paladins i guess but i think paladins shouldn’t be void/shadow myself. i’m guessing this is not how green fire for warlocks works, it probably doesn’t make conflagrate and immolate into Fel spell school but it should in my opinion and then nobody would take green fire in pvp or places where it could get locked and that would suck so i should just shut up basically.
Anyway, the moral of this story is that I am annoying and should never talk.

They did, but they are still working on lore resons for such and such.
If they are going to butcher this so much just let us have undead paladin then!! haha
I like the idea of a void paladin.

A void knight would be a seperate class.
But if you mean anti-paladins, then via lore we already have them; Death knights.
Lore changes as needed.

Yeah it does, that is why VE paladins uses light magic lol. (As I predicted btw)
Also it changes at blizzards convenience, that is why no one cares about world building anymore.
Constant changing lore does that. Ruins world building.

No it doesn’t. It only contradicts peoples wild assumptions about the lore.
The entire reason they were banished is because it was believed they could threaten the Sunwell. The Sunwell reignited by a naaru’s core. A naaru which was in its void state.
Light and Void are connected, not entirely anathema to one another, not unlike how Life and Death are connected and not entirely anathema to one another.

Yes they can.
No it doesn’t.
She didn’t. The void creatures just went through her to attack the sunwell. The sunwell specifically was their target. Not just any form of holy energy. If the void magic just reacted and lashed out aimlessly at any form of holy energy, it had more than enough time to react to the presence of Turalyon. Or the lightforged draenei. Or hell, to Xe’ra when she reformed! She was a freaking Prime Naaru!
They went out of their way to show us a lightforged warlock.

Can already see the demand that the Void Elf Paladins have the purple tint taken away from them once they are added because muh “helf lore”.

Assuming Blizzard even adds the option for purple tinted Paladin spells (and that may never happen), I’d expect that the option wouldn’t be exclusive to Void Elves, and would also be just that… an option.
