Undead Paladin. Blizzard's reasoning against this is that paladins are immune to the plague of undeath, but no one ever said a necromancer couldn't raise the corpse of a paladin. To me, this just makes sense, as undead are former humans/high elves and should have all the classes available to those races. And you can't use the reason "they lost control of the light when they died" because then that would eliminate undead priests. Bliz could have eliminated the whole paladin/shaman imbalance a long time ago with undead paladins/night elf shamans.

Gnome Druid.
Gnome Hunter.
Gnome Priest.

What can I say? I live the Gnomes. Elfs, humans, and dwarves are so overdone in the RPG world (I include Belfs in this), which is one reason I like playing Horde.

If a Gnome can be a warrior then why can't a Gnome be these other classes?

The lore has been going downhill since WC3.

Orcs - good
Tauren - good
Trolls - good
Forsaken - bad
Belfs - bad


Humans - good
Dwarves - good
Nelfs - good
Gnomes - good
Draenei - extra good

There isn't one side that is purely evil so now both are good. How stupid is that.

I agree with 1. Undead Paladin hands down. Another fear break, corpse eating... all of that. Seal of Blood still makes sense to being Undead. If they can be priests, then they should be paladins. Just give the Alliance another shaman (night elf is as good a race as any for this).

I'd call that class "the warlock killer."

Kaylek and Zuuler said what I was going to. I've never agreed with the argument that they can't be paladins because they're undead and therefore can't use the Holy Light. As was said above, what about priests?

And, Wook, no race is inherently evil or good. How would that ever make sense? You're born a gnome, so you're automatically a good person? Or you're born a Blood Elf and you're automatically a bad person? There's good and bad to all races, because that's how it would be in a REAL world.

"Humans - good"

humans are the worst of them all!

What about classes that were considered but never made, like the death knight. Could you imagine a warlock/paladin combo? They would have probably ended up way too over-powered though.

I would have loved to make a Gnome Priest. There is actually a Gnome Cleric hanging around in Burning Steppes, and he looks cool as hell. Any kind of healer would've been nice, so we could make a Smurf guild and down Onyxia with an all-gnome raid... But druids or paladins seem even less lore-fitting.

Undead Paladins is something that I will never forgive Blizzard for. Would've been so cool, and less twisted than BElf paladins... maybe in a future patch?

On a different note, it wasn't until two months after I started playing that I thought that Dwarves could be druids, and I was actually looking forward to that.

Undead Necromancer - I'd be able to raise dead mobs to fight for me.

A healing class for the gnomes, any healing class but preferably priest. Could you imagine a little gnome shadow priest running around melting faces and laughing maniacally? Why can't gnomes have healing classes? I never understood that.

Because gnomes are short, and the light doesn't like short people. The light has abandoned the vertically challenged.

FYI, I hate gnomes.

I'll admit, though... undead paladins would probably be the most OP. We already have a natural affinity against every class, and warlock is the only possible, barely, exception. This would tip that and we wouldn't have any classes balanced against us. At least not for the undead paladins. Humans would still be SOL all around (lol rogues).

@12 - The light has abandoned short people because it takes longer to reach them!

Gnomes are OK, they just can't dance.

I'd like to be a druid but nothing would convince me to play a Night Elf, and I don't really play much horde... so...

I think Blizz have screwed around so much with the law they may as well just let every race be every class now.

YES. horde desperately needs a druid race other than the cow people...

and on the alli side i'm sure a human hunter would be a popular choice.

I think blizzard is right on the mark on which races can be which classes.

hell now COWS FTW!

Undead Paladins, for certain. Balanced with Night Elf Shamans, as many have already suggested.

Troll Druids, to give the Horde some options there. Allow Human, or maybe even Gnome (Gnomes are almost crazy enough to do anything, but their tech affinity would work against them here), Druids to balance things out, so each side has 2 choices there.

Blood Elf warriors. Hell, just make it that every race can potentially choose Warrior as a class. It seems like the most basic of professions, RP wise, and I don't think we could argue that every Blood Elf warrior became a Paladin after they started corrupting the light.
