Lightforged shadow priests. That’s my top fav.
Where in LOTR, Warhammer, DnD is a shaman required to draw upon the 5 elements?
Make up your mind.
Do you not like goblin shaman for non WoW reasons or WoW reasons? Pick one.

Garrosh brought knowledge from the horde to update engineering and magics to the maghar orcs. Time passed since he was there and brought some allies. They learned how to be mages from the forsaken/goblins technically. But ogres are also natural mages so who knows. Orcs descend from ogres too.
Agreed. I wish Priest could be split into two classes: Clerics and Shadow Priest and then Blizzard could fix the race/class combos.
Except the new dk intro explicitly says that he’s raising fallen soldiers of the Fourth War to face a new threat, presumably whatever he thought Sylvanas was planning. It’s happening right now, it’s canon. Your confusion doesn’t change that.
Gnome Deathknights. You’re literally too weak and small to be a DK.
Remember that spot in the DK start where they’re killing off newly raised DKs because they’re not up to snuff? No gnome would EVER make it more than a few steps before being put down again and your corpse fed to the ghouls.
“B-b-but magic!” you say. “DKs are plate casters!”
NO
DKs are smashy brutes with some death/ice magic NOT death/frost wizards in platemail.
“Ha! DKs were casters in WC2 ya dummy!”
Are you an orc soul crammed into a human corpse? No? Well, there goes that argument.
Lightforged DKs make more sense than Gnome DKs.

Where the HELL do you think the writers took it from their creativity no they took it from old poems and anicent societys and PEGAN culture so it apply auto …
You think Poseidon would give you the power over water if you throw oil in his space lol
Ok. And in WoW’s lore there is nothing to suggest that the Elements care deeply about nature.
That are natural beings. Not nature based ones. That is the Emerald Dream.
The elementals are not godlike beings.
You dont get metaphors do you…
Second they are a part of nature by their very nature earth is the ground, and its what allows trees when it mixes with the other elements
water is required for life.
Fire keeps life from not freezing to death and brings about new land when it mixes with water via volcano’s
Air is your breath…
It’s a part of all life and nature more so than even what druids use …
In fact shaman are more druid than even druids are lol
This is wrong on almost every level possible within WoW’s lore.
The Elementals are from the Elemental Plane. When they are present on Azeroth, they are chaotic, violent, and aggressive. Due to a deficiency in spirit levels on the planet, they are this way. They are not concerned with being in harmony. They are not in a dormat state.
They are chaotic.
They are not part of the nature of Azeroth. They are literally from a different plane of existence.
Only if you have no clue what the lore of WoW is.
You seem to have your own headcannon lore. I can’t argue against that, since it doesn’t actually exist.

In LOTR Orcs had Mages. And in DnD Half-Orcs have always been able to be Mages, the only classes limited in the past were ones that specified specific Races ie AD&D Race Class Kits, and Paladins which were Humans and Saurians only. (Note one of the lesser-known campaign settings for 2nd ed D&D had Humanoid Dinosaurs, the Triceratops could be Paladins. You can’t find the setting online, I looked, I wish I still had the book. Ugh it was great.)
But on target, Orcs technically have never been a Player Race in D&D not really (You could, even in 2nd, but it was using rules in the Monster manual that allowed for Humoid Monsters to be played, they themselves were never an actual player race, only a race that could be played. However, in 3rd they included Half-Orcs in the Players Handbook. They have never been locked out of any class, and I’ve personally had a Half-Orc Mage. I also played an Orc Mage in the MMO LOTR when it came out over 10 years ago. So yeah, you are not actually making any sense with that bit of prejudice.
Half orcs are also half of another race they are no longer pure bloods so they become more of a mixture
Half orcs were made Half so as to avoid the +4 in bonuses. That is all. It was Game Mechanics not lore.
Lol doesnt exist when it’s the very foundation of the oldest believes in the world lol and is facts of creation when it comes to lava part
And again WoWs lore doesnt mean a damn thing when its class was based on a real belief system lol
The beliefs of the real world are irrelevant.
They are relevant when you use them to make a boss or class etc
Nope. Still not.
Huh? I’ve read this 3 times, and had my Text to speech say it out loud, and as of yet I can figure out what you are saying.
At this point I think you are trolling.

Draenei monks don’t make sense to me. Even less so culturally then rogues, when the reason for no rogues is because it would be out of character for a Draenei. A Draenei drunk that punches things and channels their inner chi… the monks in Draenei culture were a different picture in my mind before monks as a class was created.
Look up the five elements in pegan culture what I’m saying is pure fact based on history and line ups
Or look up Celtic druids
Or tribal shamans
