Man…
But a void paladin would be awesome. Imagine dropping Star-cursed consecrate spells.

I would be fine with that. It would allow those that want it to be able to roleplay as Void Knights/ Shadow Paladins and look cool AF meantime! And others can RP as High elf Paladins, it’s a win/win. Im happy whatever way Blizz goes about it

Or better… a void knight seperate class.
While I don’t dislike the idea, it slowly starts to lead to a potential class bloat.
“Hey, we’ve got Light plate wearers, and Death plate wearers. Now a plate class for Void? Where’s my Life Knight? My Order Knight? My FelKnight?!”
Someone brings up, “Demon Hunters, Druids, and Mages exist,” and the reply is, “Yeah, and so do Priests. Why does Light get two different armor types?!”
Soon you’ve got people arguing we need 24 classes to represent every cosmic power with every armor type.

Not sure what point of thread is? Its obviously leading to void elf paladins along with paladins for every race. Don’t see a problem? Especially when blizzard said every class, every race (though some classes harder due to class mounts or druid forms, but eventually every class/every race)

I don’t think they are worried about this. /looks at evokers.
You kinda gotten your answer on those already, druids covers both melee and ranged with life magic, alongside shamans.
Fel is covered with warlocks and DH
Void is missing among melee (unless you count rogues, which is contreversial) along with arcane type.
Of course, it does. At every opportunity in the game the two forces are labeled as opposing. It caused the warcraft big bang. Light is particularly harmful to the undead because of the Void component within them. Alleria can’t touch Turalyon without pain when she’s in her void form. To use one, you need a mindset that opposes the other (as explained in detail in the Legion audio drama). Blood Knights draw their holy power from the sunwell, whereas void elves cannot.
Conclusions are not assumptions.
The Broken can no longer use the light because the fel corrupted their bodies, and they never used it themselves. However, green Orcs and Man’ari can? And the Void Elves, whose essence is even more opposed to the light, should also be able to use it?
A continuity error is a lapse in the self-consistency of the scene or story being portrayed.
Velen used the “unblemished heart” of it.
You also can’t be alive and dead at the same time.

If conclusioms are not assumptions, then how do you end up wrong about lore with things like “void elfs can’t use the light”?

Or, and here me out on this, your assumptions and conclusions are simply incorrect.

Possible. Refute my arguments.
You are making the claim this is a violation of the lore. You provide the evidence for that claim.
As for your ‘points’, you said
Undead are aligned with Death. Void and Light are opposites, life and death are.
Beyond that, Light and Void are opposites. That doesn’t create an automatic explosion just because. Discipline priests wield both. Manari mages used fel and arcane. Shaman use Spirit and Decay. Your assumption has a lot of contrary evidence.

There is components to forsaken undeath.
Necromantic powers animates the body, the void part of the magic bounds their soul to the body. Otherwise without the void component, they would just be mindless undead like the rest of the ghouls.
Do not forget the founder of the scourge is a void practitioner that found a way to use necrmancy via void use.
Nonetheless, ner’zhul (the former lich king) clearly used void magic to raise his undead, as you can observe in Draenor.
Furthermore, the source for this statement about the undead was written before the cosmology was published in Chronicles. “Death magic” did not exist until then. It was arcane, mixed with shadow magic. At the time, it was clear that it was referring to the Void. The old Forsaken quests emphasise this. If it was later changed from Void to Death Magic, it’s a retcon, which brings us back to a continuity error.
I believe the term “explosion” is an exaggeration. It comes from the big bang argument. However, the forces are clearly in conflict with one another. As previously stated, this can also be seen with Turalyon and Alleria.
Do they?
Sounds more like an inquisitor to me. The disc has still no real lore. Even if so, it contradicts other sources (Alleria/Sunwell/Turalyon/audio drama).
Retcon.
Shamans use decay?
That’s my point. I’d like Blizzard to be clear and consistent.

Good news, they are being clear and consistent! People can wield opposing energies as has been seen time and time again, and they have clarified the six primary cosmological forces. The setting changed a lot from Warcraft 1, and they fleshed out their magic since then.

And yet it contradicts the material on which it’s built.

It contradicts poorly fleshed out lore from 25 years ago, with a proper cosmology and internal consistency.

Has there been any word on the race updates for Pal/Sham/Dru?
I cannot find anything from the last 10 months.
It was pretty fleshed out.
There are also contradictions in current sources, as explained above.
