Yes. A game is a game, it’s not canon. It doesn’t give the backstory. By it’s very nature, it can’t. This is what the various books are for.
Whichever books THEY say is canon. I don’t make the rules or the lore. I just follow and read them.

You just made the rule that nothing in the game is canon. That’s a rule you created, that’s not written down anywhere I’ve seen.
If the game is not a source, the argument is moot; because outside of the game, “warrior” is a generic term denoting anybody who does battle, and not descriptive of “a class,” which only exists within the framework of the game world and the game’s systems. If you remove the game from consideration, you remove the concept of the “warrior class” from consideration. If you do that, then arguing that paladins all started as warriors or priests just means they either swung a sword first or cast a spell first, maybe only seconds apart. That’s something I can agree with, but it’s also an assertion with zero value whatsoever.
Yeah, no. Nice try. If you wanna think that a game is considered canon, you go right ahead.
Unless it’s from the very company who makes the game.
Are you being purposely obtuse? Or as Toushin told you…

Yeah no, not even a good try on your part. You arbitrarily decided what is and is not canon, without citing word from the creators. Your house is built on sand.
Unless what is from the very company who makes the game? Use complete sentences, make an argument at least.
His post was barely legible. And once more, neither of you have provided a source stating that only novelizations are official canon, and the events of the game are not. That’s an entirely arbitrary, and heterodox, obsession on your part.

This is what running out of steam looks like. You’re spent champ, you don’t even know what you’re fighting about.
Says the guy who thinks a game is considered canon/lore.
You’ve yet to define lore, and we both know why.
I’ve made no claims. You’re the one who made a claim, it’s on YOU, not I, to prove.

lol, there’s a claim.
Was Alexstrasza being captured by Dragonmaw orcs canon after Warcraft 2 came out, or not until a novel confirmed it?
Was it canon that the Orcs came through the Dark Portal and invaded Stormwind after Warcraft 1 came out, or not until it was in a book?
Was Arthas added to the lore in 2002 when Warcraft 3 was released, or did he only become canon seven years later when Christie Golden put out Arthas: Rise of the Lich King?
lmao even. Beyond help.
I know you are, but it’s okay. You just keep telling people a game is considered canon/lore.

Apologies Eonworm, for hijacking your subject, wasn’t my intention. But when people make insane claims and can’t back them up, I have to point them out.
But now, back to our regularly scheduled program…

He is talking about the game… if he is using the game as a reference then he needs to explain why we have npc paladins leaping all over the place then including the most current ones.

What the hell???
I just notice that they “nerfed” Shield of Vengeance by making it a minute and a half cooldown.
Damn, they’re really screwing with our survivability.
Sigh, anyway…
Fair enough.

Yup, specially since he claims some paladins don’t have warrior training. Espaicially since Turalyon was formerly a priest.

I want Ret to have an actual gap closer. Steed is a Stun/snare/root/fear magnet. Too slow to help if CC exists, too fast if you are feared causing you to heroicly gallop in the wrong direction, too visually telegraphed, everyone and their mom knows to CC you as they can see you are trying to move. On HoTs many melee have and attack that brings them to their target, that would be very helpful for Ret.
