Like Uncle Garrosh said…“Times Change”. This game is so far away from the original lore that there’s no reason to a believe any Race can’t master any Class. Maybe leave the two Hero Classes out of the discussion because they require a bit more getting into. Everything else though, I can make valid points for.
Sorry to blow your mind but it had to be done. Again, outside of the Hero Classes that I don’t feel like getting into, there’s no reason things are still so locked out. The hardest Race/Class combination to make a case for is Undead Paladins, and yet it’s still an easy case to make.
Are you really telling me that something as peaceful and nature loving as a Pandaren can’t befriend some Druids and learn their way?
The fact that Orcs get to be Shamans is proof that the current restrictions make no sense.
Shamans are like best friends with the Elements. They help each other out. That’s like the entire basis of the class…but it’s not always as it seems. You see, “Rock” means “Food” in Orc speak. Rocks are Elements. Orcs literally eat the Elements and yet they still get to be Shamans.
That’s so true lol. Like how can an Element get suckered into signing a legally binding contract? It genuinely doesn’t make any sense whatever.
I guess that’s the thing about Goblins though.
None of their history really makes sense. They started out as some idiot Race and got smart from eating Tide Pods.
We beat the Legion. Give me an Eredar sub-race (all of them can’t be bad, just retcon that some of them noped out after a few centuries and ran away) and let me be a warlock and I may be compelled to spend money on a race change. Dat waggle…
Yes, it’s time to open them all up. Classes are basically careers, it’s silly to claim that someone wouldn’t be able to pick up a different career simply because of their heritage.
Hrm… I guess there’s multiple takes on this. What you say is correct - it is true that in theory most races could befriend some master of most classes. There isn’t a technical reason why a goblin can’t be a monk.
At the same time some race/class restrictions can ‘add’ to a race I.E the reason lightforged Draenei are so restricted is due to their way of life for eons. So it depends on the way you see it.
Makes no sense.
If some of the first paladins were warriors that learned to wield the light, then there’s really no reason for any class to not be a priest or paladin since all can be warriors.
Definitely past time to open up class restrictions.
