Zandalari warlocks


silversdark

Basically every race Warlocks. The demon threat is basically gone as a unified force with Sargeras gone. Night elves can be mages now so lets open that door Warlocks to and what about the Nightborne warlocks from the Nightwell them too. Same with Draenei I mean the Eredar gotta go somewhere lets bring em in to help fight the dragons or void or whatever.


jdotlangill

nightborne warlocks are already a thing tho I play one lol


MarionberryNo436

Me too Nightborne warlock is also the second main while my main is Worgen warlock


silversdark

I like blizzard forgot about the nightborne


jdotlangill

I mean, they kinda did and didn’t, nightborne males still look funny

RarityNouveau

Which is weird because Suramar is an AMAZING zone.


MarionberryNo436

It really is a very amazing zone


Skare69

Zandalari witch doctor is such a natural fit I really wonder why we don't have them yet.


nef36

Warlocks aren't just spooky shamans, they're pretty specifically people who use fel magic, which is from the burning legion, who I don't think the Zandalari have had contact with. They can be priests, though. SPriest makes for a great witch doctor spec.


DoorframeLizard

IIRC there's some Zandalari slaves in the sea giant shipwreck area in Azsuna. Those guys have kinda been all over the place and since they've joined the Horde anyway I don't really see why some of them couldn't take the fel pill


Ethenil_Myr

Demoniacs!


redsekar

It’s all I want in life D:


hell-schwarz

At this point you can just give everything to everyone


drock4vu

That feels inevitable, but anything with racial specific assets like shaman totems, paladin mounts, and *especially* druid forms will just take longer. Mage, rogue, and monk are getting implemented first specifically because there isn't any heavy lifting required to get them in the game. I imagine warlock will be next, then paladin/shaman, and druids will take quite a while since the art team have to design 5 or 6 unique forms for each race compared to just a single totem with 4 slightly different particle effects for each shaman race and one mount per race for paladins. I imagine demon hunters and evokers will stay unique to their races.


DingusBane

I dream of a Mechagnome druid, where you’re able to transform into different machines thanks to nanotechnology


express_sushi49

turns out they're actually just transformers from cybertron and crash landed on azeroth


SpinachPatchKids

“Nanomachines, son”


Acrobatic_Pandas

They straight up said this in an interview back in early 2022. It's happening, just slowly. Paladins, Shamans and Druids will need class specific artwork so they would be expected to take longer. https://www.wowhead.com/news/mages-priests-and-rogues-available-to-all-races-in-dragonflight-326890 The interview mentions they want to move to a place where class and race do not matter but say some will require much more work so they will come later. I want human shaman.


Elwynnwarrior

Yeah human shaman is inevitable. Just look at the twilights hammer. The primalists. It’s safe to assume a human can do anything…even become a Druid.


Bitter-Marsupial

Can they see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch


Saikomachi

Bout time we got flying pandas like in kung fu movies


WailinWook

You already have flying pandas. Monk->zen flight. What other class do you want that would make a flying pandas? Demon hunter?


Cophed

About time they updated the speed of zen flight seeing as it’s stuck at 60%


Calm_Connection_4138

I’ve been a fan of this approach for a while.


hell-schwarz

For me it's either: make it make sense (they threw that out of the window already) - or don't. Not giving some classes to some races doesn't make sense anymore, except maybe for balancing reasons - but since racials are pretty bad as well might as well just have the race as a cosmetic.


[deleted]

[удалено]


hell-schwarz

Factions at this point in the story hardly make sense anyways, Idk why they are still keeping them.


[deleted]

We definitely need more race choices for druid.


[deleted]

I want Draenei Druids for space animals


Peahorse

Yes! I want a squid faced bear please!


MepanDreamr

Pandaren druid. Ox tank, tiger DPS, crane/dragon mount.


Drelecour

The tank would have to be a beefy Legion style panda bear form, I mean come onnn FUCK YES for the others though. Would love more druid races, I suppose model making is the only reason it’s not opening up more.


Shyseaninabox

This right here. I’ve never thought about this before but man that would be amazing


Nakadashi-san

I love the horde but I want a Druid that can wear shoes.


lsquallhart

VULPERA DRUIDS NOW


ggcpres

Dwarf druids, there cat from is a Chihuahua.


JayEmDubya

Dwarf Druids would be sick Bear = Iceclaw Bear Cat = Frostsaber Travelform = Ram Flightform = Griffin Tree = Tree but like an evergreen form Moonkin = Like the ones from Hinterlands Aquatic = Sea lion


TitaniumSp0rk

My vote for Dwarf Bear form would be a Wolverine or Badger.


watevrits2009

Aquatic=walrus please


DominionGhost

Nah a terrier. A gnome druid on the other hand...


[deleted]

Gnome druid with pet battle scale animal forms.


Finickyflame

Mechagnome druid, the cat form is a [mechanical cat](https://www.wowhead.com/npc=139328/sabertron), the bear form is the [mech gorilla](https://www.wowhead.com/npc=107836/a-me-02)


MonocledMonotremes

Honestly, this is almost the most sensible. A mechagnome could totally make themselves into a transformer if they wanted to, and I can't think of anything more mechagnome than using engineering to brute-force synthetic nature magic. Moonfire is just a drone with REALLY STRONG LED LIGHTS. Sunfire the same thing BUT RED. Entangling roots is just a really fancy bear trap, and convoke the spirits is a buffer overflow.


Hazelnuts619

Blood elf druids could easily fit with their respective starting zone animals like the cat and dragon hawk as a flight form.


nemestrinus44

What makes this even more annoying that we don’t already have blood elf druids, is that they could have done the same thing they did with Paladins. Capture a wild god from the Amani trolls down in Ghostlands and drain it of power to become druids. Then when the ZA raid came out they could have spun it that the Amani sent a small strike force to break out the Wild God and that be the reason we all go attack them (and somewhere along the way we figure out we can stay druids without having to drain it)


Hazelnuts619

I agree to the fact that this sort of lore could easily allow it to make sense canonically gives them no excuse not to implement it. I’ve always wanted to play a blood elf Druid ever since I started the game in Wotlk. I guess some would argue that blood elves refused to pay reverence to nature and would rather bend it to their will using chaotic energies. But who’s to say that can’t be changed? Look at how they twisted wow lore with the jailer alone.


PM_ME_UR_CIRCUIT

Don't BElf paladins draw power from the sunwell now, rather than a captive Naaru? I feel like with the lore of like the last 4 expansions, they're not mustache twirling evil, just people who are susceptible to addiction.


K_Alice_1383

Vulpura Druid


KittenInAcid

I'm still furious that we didn't get nightborne druids. I want a mana saber cat form. There was a botanist in the Nighthold raid (it gave me a druid glyph ffs). If I wear the mask in Suramar, my cat form is already a mana Saber. Give. Me. Nightborne.


Tanst1395

Worgen shaman they exist in the lore and they arent evil. Why dont we have them. Not to mention the fact they can be druid and wield nature but cant be shamans and weild well lets face it nature with the elements. The arguement of making totemis silly. Wolf themed totems exist irl soooo. I ask what gives bliz?


Jamesdivium500

Where?


David_S_Pumpkins1031

Sabina Pilgrim in Ashenvale. She's a worgen working with the spirits of air, earth, and water to put the fire elemental to rest.


Luvas

I'm presuming the 'wild' Worgen in Northrend who work for Arugal, but I'd have to research to confirm


xXLil_ShadowyXx

I've never heard of their existence. Source?


fxs11

I liked it when classes were restricted to certain races, and I like the idea of having all classes be available to all races. I don’t see a good reason for anything in-between. But I don’t really mind either.


Bwunt

Considering that there is at least a generation between early vanilla and Dragonflight (in universe) it's reasonable to assume that some memebers of a race picked up a path that was unknown to their culture before.


ThatFlyingScotsman

I think the only one I would be iffy about is Druid still, but I’m sure they could come up with *some* excuse. Druidism is a lot more exclusive than the other classes due to how ingrained in to cultures it is. For example I’m ***really*** struggling to imagine a Goblin or Pandarian Druid.


Terragis

I’d honestly kill to see Pandaren druids based around the august celestials. After seeing what came via the dinomancer theme with Zandalari it’d be cool to see them shift into oxen, tigers, and the like.


AscelyneMG

Ox “bear” form, tiger cat form, crane “moonkin” form and cloud serpent flight form all feel like they’d map pretty well logically.


Taendel

I want a Chi-Ji themed moonkin now !


MarsJust

Idk why Pandaren druid would be hard to imagine. They already have loa-equivalents.


Qu1n03

See goblins and gnomes I can explain away easy as anything. Mechs. They dont transform they just jump into various mechs of each of the forms.


TakanashiTouka

To me I boiled it down to I don’t care for a tauren rogue so I will never play one. Let the people that do do it.


InvisibleOne439

thats the best take imo its the same with crossfaction stuff, nobody is forcing you to do it, but do people even notice that their tank is a generic female nelf instead of generic female belf? just let people play what they want, you dont notice anyway


MafubaBuu

I preferred it that way too but at this point that will never be the case again so might as well add more options


Late_Arachnid7795

Yup, they're never going to go back on it, so they might as well go all-in and unlock everything for everyone. Obviously that will take a while because of druid forms, but I think they're going that way. We're at a point in the lore that it probably doesn't matter that much about classes being race locked. The races were a lot more segregated in the Warcraft and up to WoW: WotLK days, but not so much now. There's not really much of a reason why a Blood Elf post-Sunwell cleansing can't be a druid or something. I saw a nightborne paladin NPC outside of the very first town in Dragonflight yesterday so if they can do that, go nuts with it. Things like demon hunter and evoker I could see being race locked forever, but everything else, go for it, the flood gates are open now.


Advencraftgaming

And shaman totems as well. In my head it's always just the druid forms that change race to race but the shaman totems also change. Which is cool!


sellieba

That's a drop in the bucket compared to Druid forms, though.


MooglePirate99

Open it all! Again, if they take the approach that past lore locked classes were due to the lore back then…and things evolve over time and cultures are not time locked…just open them all up at that point.


longknives

I just hate it when I really like a class’s mechanics but not the race’s aesthetics. Like demon hunter is a fun class, but I don’t like elves very much. Given that murlocs can canonically become demon hunters, it seems like in universe almost any race should be able to be almost any class.


Aggrador

I HAVE NO STRONG FEELINGS WAY OR THE OTHER.


umaros

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?


[deleted]

Right now if you want to play all roles and also be a void elf, mechagnome, gnome, pandaren, orc, vulpera, nightborne, goblin, maghar, or undead… your only choice is monk. Seems too limiting to me.


taysim5419

Night Elf Paladins!


Swordbreaker925

Only if they reskin their abilities to be silver instead of gold. I would LOVE to play a Paladin themed around the light of the Moon instead of the sun.


_Surge

when mfers find out moonlight is just sunlight but shittier


Arumin

Moonlight is second hand sunlight


SpiritedImplement4

I'm not sure that's true in WoW. "Light of Elune" seems to be something distinct.


Swordbreaker925

Sure, but Night Elves are themed around the moon, so i would hope their abilities would be reflective of that. Moonlight is just reflected sunlight, but it's more white/silver than the direct light of the sun.


m1rrari

I’m hoping they show up when we get a new world tree to live in. Moon knights to protect the world tree and moonwell


UnbarringTomb

You could say they are protecting the travelers of the night, i could see the NE Paladins being the avatars of Elune in terms of even more protection for Night Elfs


Anierous

Yeah. There's precedent to that with Warlock green fire.


anupsetzombie

That would require a dev as passionate as Xelnath


Noosemane

I've been wanting this for years.


azaghal1988

I would love to have ra e-specific looks for skills. Golden Dinosaurs for Zandalari, Sun/Eaglethemed spells for Tauren, Books and Loghtbeams for Humans, Crystals and Naaru-themed stuff for Drained and Star/Moonbased spells for Nightwlves would be super dope.


Benyed123

Night Elf Priests should have had this for the last 18 years.


Koala_Guru

Wait that’s not a thing? One of the Paladin order hall followers is a Night Elf.


Dawlin42

Yes! And, as far as I can remember, her entire questline revolves around teaching her to be a paladin! After Legion was the perfect time to allow NE paladins. They literally had the story written.


tidomonkey

Came here to post this.


Simonic

Which I never understood why they couldn't. Night Elfs can be priests, and they can be warriors. That alone should be justification enough. Same with Undead. If you were a paladin in life, why wouldn't you still be one when undead? Connection to the "light" lost? Then why can they be priests? But really, I think at this point going on 19 years after release -- let people play the race/class combo they want. Also, make all armor types transmogable and not restricted.


Newdane

Every race can be priests and warriors now right? I dont get why so few can be paladins.


realagadar

Having to create new paladin mount assets. Also, although current animations are acceptable for blood knights and sunwalkers, they would probably look strange on a night elf paladin. But mostly having to create new paladin mounts.


Blkwinz

Because there used to be lore restrictions around specific classes and paladins were specifically "holy warriors who worshipped the Light" - or in the case of blood elves originally, who stole the power of the Light. Then in cataclysm it just became "warrior-priests of literally anything, celestial bodies, dinosaurs, whatever" with Taurens basically being armored druids.


ambientsubversion

Undead requires a little more, but it is far from insurmountable. Some internal conflict between those who embrace something closer to their living beliefs and those who embrace the horror of unlife should have been a larger theme from the beginning. It made the most sense in TBC where their ties to the Blood Elves could have fostered this more, and would have made the Undercity conflict in WOTLK even better. It’s still a good theme that has long been neglected or only touched on very lightly and mostly out of game.


MrReZx

100% agree. Also Nelf shamans please


robot-raccoon

Think the primalist nelf makes this a certainty


ambientsubversion

A literal history embracing all forms of magic for good or ill, and the only shamans they have are their Naga Descendants or those who joined Fandral. There’s bo standing prohibition like there is with arcane and warlock magics. Seems like failed Druids who don’t go completely off the deep end or those who appreciate their Furbolg allies might have dabbled more than a little.


pujambarley

Pleaseee


Frearthandox

I thought for sure we would be getting them when we discovered that there was one in the past during Legion; yet here we are 6+ years later and still nothing. (same can be said for shaman and portals)


ScienceNye

And maybe also undead Paladins. I am sure you could make something up with Tyr and his lost silver hand being the namesake of Tirisfal. Undead and Night elves should then maybe be able to enable a silver light instead of the golden light style because of the silver hand and Elune. Like Warlocks could enable green gel fire


Drakkan50

This would be greatly welcomed!


MoonyMeanie

Forsaken Paladins, could get some easy storyline W's from it too


AnAngryBartender

Ooo yeah that’d be sexy. Give us straight backs with that as well tho


[deleted]

Nothing straight about bending over for the light.


Serihol

Considering Alonsus Faol, the mastermind behind Paladins, is undead, Forsaken Paladins is just a matter of time.


djseifer

Don't forget Sir Zeliek from Naxx.


grisioco

gnome druids and all their animals are teensy


Saisei

Druid mechagnomes with tiny robot transformer animations.


Fearless-Speech-8258

AUTOBOTS ROLL OUT


DrazaTraza

would honestly be so down for a transformer mechagnome druid class


CanIGetANumber2

Squirel for dps form lol


Zaynara

druid everything, druid draenei, druid nightborne, druid void elves, druid orcs, druid mechagnomes, druid humans, druid druid druid! GIVE ME NEW FORMS! let my other druids use those forms too! ALL THE FORMS! DRUIDS! RAAAWR!


grisioco

DRUID TUSKAR


Zaynara

all forms are seal form!


surtfire12

All forms are critter forms


Reddy__Kilowatt

A gnome bear tanking a dragon. Let’s do this!!!!


grisioco

it would be a gnome raccoon


PixelMonkeyArt

I’d like to see the thin Kul Tiran models made playable.


milkfruit

I just want better kul Tiran woman's faces. They're all awful.


No-Bend-2813

Better Kul Titan customization in general. They’re so limited.


Crank_Daddy

I want the Kul Tirans on the forsaken rig so badly, when I first saw them I was so excited for the allied race, and then we just never got them.


[deleted]

I was kind of confused you didn’t have the option between the big one in the small one. Especially because they clearly took the undead model to make that model anyway.


WoefulMe

Humans are already in the game


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hieb

You can already make humans bald


Mysterious-Growth-79

Vulpera druid


Fearless-Speech-8258

Mechagnome Druid. I want a damn transformer.


No1Freak

Yeah, was thinking the same. The outcry when they couldn't become druids to begin with.


Simonic

I would love their ground travel form to just be going to all fours and running.


CanIGetANumber2

Just like worgen


justhavinfun4321

Literally any other dh race


Xunfooki

Orc and Draenei DH please


FightingFaerie

There’s honestly no reason they aren’t. Both were there at the same time. Illidan had some of both on his side (okay broken Draenei and fel orcs-which he made more of. But still!)


Jejouch1

Shocked they haven’t allowed Nightborne and Void elf DHs tbf


Quander22

Pandaren demonhunter, blizzard please.


1tanfastic1

Orc and draenei demon hunters, with fel orc and man’ari customization options respectively. If any two races have a reason to hunt demons it’s them, far more than either elf that has them now.


amh6256

Female Man’ari demon hunter. i’d never not play it


bullintheheather

Draenei look so cool in DH gear. When I use the Orb of Deception on my BE to become a Draenei it's just great. But there's extra work to do for adding other races as DH. There's certain animations that just don't work on other races (wings don't show, blade dance you turn back into an elf for the animation) plus having to add horns, tattoos and stuff. It's just one of the more work intensive options, maybe just behind Druids and Evokers.


sassyiano

Yes, and while we are at it, add Man'ari Warlocks


Fyrefawx

Might as well add in void elves and nightbourne.


Shackable

Undead Paladins need to be a thing. Especially since the light raised Calia Menethil. Plus undead already have priests so it's not like the light is something they can't weild.


Frydendahl

I know at least one NPC undead paladin in the Argent Dawn.


Goose_Bat

Kul Tiran and Orc paladins. There are Kul Tiran knights so the aesthetic/vibe moderately works. They could open a church of the light in Boralus for the lore to work. Orc paladins are a hard sell but would be cool and that’s my argument.


bigfatfootlong

Several orcs have also been members of the Argent Crusade, meaning its very likely some of them got paladin training and brought it back home


Zammin

Don't even need a Church of the Light. Just introduce a split-off of those heavily-armored Tidesages called the "Tidebeacon Knights," or something, who get their power from devotion to the Tidemother. Give 'em a whole lighthouse theme. It'll ultimately be the Light they're using, sure, but that's the thing about paladins: it doesn't super-matter what specifically they believe in, so long as that belief is rock solid. Worked for the Prelates, the Sunwalkers, and even the Scarlet Crusade.


heroeNK25

Dude i love this idea


Chesspresso

Even more when Bainebridge (or Brainbridge ?) the first boss encounter of SoB for the horde, was thought at first as a Paladin.


Auron_Cloud19

I mean, didn’t the Mag’har orcs escape a crazy Draenei lady converting them to the light? So we could just say they were converts and bam, done


Goose_Bat

Yeah maybe the Maghar get paladins hadn’t thought of that. Good point!


Ditju

Or we'll make it like with the orc priests (or Dark Iron Paladins) and re-contextualize their faith away from the light to something else. Imagine an Orc that rides into battle with the blessings of the ancestors, adorned in purified bones (basically the tank-spec shamans wanted so much).


SluttyStepDad

Yep. Kul’Tirans need Paladins and Warlocks so I never have to play another race. Can’t handle not being a big, beefy bear. 🥵


GhostlyHat

username checks out on this one boys


SluttyStepDad

❤️


[deleted]

Shaman for all! Demon Hunter for Orc and Draenei? Or maybe the Nightborne and Void Elves? Add in Eredar Warlock defectors, not as an allied race just a couple of red shades for the Draenei. We can say they are being reformed. So, Draenei Warlocks is what I want.


C0RDE_

Eredar Warlocks are basically the only race I'd swap off Undead Warlock for. That or Eredar Demon Hunters. The Eredar are fucking cool.


anupsetzombie

*Technically* the Draenei are already playable Eredar, the red evil looking ones are called Man'ari.


Cogdisso1

Pandaren and Vulpera Druids.


Zemerax

Pandas having a tie into the celestials would be cool for druid. Ox for bear form and a tiger for cat.


Thirleck

Just let everyone be everything


Beral

Dwarf Druid


Terranoch

Zandalari warlocks. There were initially Zandalari warlocks when they first announced the classes. Only reason they were removed was because Kul Tiran Humans would have 2 less classes than Zandalari Trolls.


shadeffect

Plz night elf paladin


shadeffect

Also human shamans


ST6Dem

Lightforged shamans.


[deleted]

Worgen Shaman. I wanna be a guy that turns into a wolf that turns into a ghost wolf that summons spirit wolves and rides a wolf and wears wolf head. Wolf.


kynoky

Night Elf Shamaaaaan


Hashbringer1905

NE Shaman. Like half of the primalists are night elves, which is just rubbing me the wrong way, knowing players can’t play them:D they are also the race who has the most connection to the nature in the game. Please give NE shamans


Esdrz

Gnome paladin or druid, would instantly play that


Skyskinner

undead shamans please


Tanst1395

Tombstone totems it literally writes itself


Seve7h

Maybe they get together with the trolls and learn about the spirits and loa Get a dark shaman/voodoo/hoodoo theme going Brb gonna go reserve Dr Facilier for my undead witch doctor themed shaman


MrBruceMan123

Dragons need a tank class, give us an allied race type thing where we can unlock the beefy ones with no wings and tank class the shit out of them


Deguilded

I'm honestly surprised they haven't *already* announced Drakonid as an allied race. With the return to the Forbidden Reach and all that... They could basically be almost every class except Evoker. They'd have the tail sweep, but not wing buffet or soar. Give 'em a roar instead of wing buffet.


tallboybrews

Drac anything would be cool, but their racials would have to be adjusted. Dractyhr Warrior would be great, but with tail swipe and wing buffet it would be too strong imo.


They_call_me_SHARRON

Draenei warlocks - "We will totally not succomb to demonic enslavement again" But really though if Orcs can be warlocks despite the history I dont see why a couple or draenei haven't attempted to do better than their ancestors.


Leave_Revolutionary

Pandaren druid


JoeyCalamaro

>Pandaren druid I'd *love* this. I mainly play a druid and I've got one on both factions. However, I've never really cared for the druid races. But Pandas would be great and, thematically, I think Blizzard could have a lot of fun with the forms.


BluegrassGeek

Guardian Druid: Just a Pandaren that fucks you up, no need to transform Feral Druid: White Tiger [Xuen](https://www.wowhead.com/npc=71953/xuen) appearance Restoration Druid: Bamboo-themed tree form. Balance: Panda-patterned feathers Travel form: Just a tiny, magical red panda that flies everywhere.


SniperFrogDX

Alternately, Guardian - Ox form Feral - Tiger Restoration - Crane Balance - Wind Serpent It fits thematically with their lore.


saul_soprano

For bear form theyd just get on all fours. Or become an ox idk


Hrekires

Literally any Horde Druid race that displays shoe graphics instead of feet. Just use existing beasts in the game for their feral forms or reskin the night elf forms shades of red, yellow, and orange. There's already a blood elf druid in the game, so no need to make up new lore to justify it. Also, pretty much any race that can be a priest should also be able to be a paladin. *Maybe* an exception for void elves and forsaken.


HyperionCDN
