Why can they not become Mages? Pretty much every race can become a Mage except the two Tauren tribes. It’s cool if they can’t become one but weird. That they’re overlooked where any race can become one.
I want to know do Taurens allow Mage magic into their tribes or is it forbidden?
No rules, just lack of interest.
Man, it is fairly rare to see a Tauren Priest, considering a priest is the only “cloth” class for the Tauren that I know off that can be rolled.
It doesn’t really fit them to me. Taurens are known for being a peaceful and savage when provoked. A priest doesn’t seem like that. The other classes kind of do.
There’s a Tauren enchanting trainer in Thunder bluff so they’re obviously open to magic, at this point class restrictions seem semantic for modern WoW.
It never clicked with them. Our tauren spent most of their existence as nomads wandering around. Until WC3 when they were saved from the relentless centaur and later finally settled down somewhere. They have a strong connection to the natural world so their prized magic classes were always druid and shaman.
Nowhere in that was arcane magic. They never studied in a place like Dalaran, there was no access to arcane knowledge in the wilds of Kalimdor. And generally even after joining the Horde they still aren’t very interested. Arcane is a magic that defies nature and represents power. The tauren accept it in their allies, but it just has no real place in their own culture and ideology.
They’re too stupid
