Possible New Class/Race Combinations
Heartbourne
Patch 3.2.2 has hit the PTR, and there is some surprising new data that has been data-mined. It appears that there are a bunch of new race/class combination, though it is unclear if these will actually be playable. It may just be for NPCs.The list is as follows:
- Human Hunter
- Orc Mage
- Night Elf Mage
- Blood Elf Warrior
- Dwarf Shaman
- Undead Hunter
- Tauren Paladin
- Tauren Priest
- Gnome Priest
- Troll Druid
I think this may well be true. I totally predicted both Tauren Paladins and Dwarf Shaman in an earlier Proverb article, and it could totally be viable. Check out the full article for my justification.
In other news, a new quest has appeared on the PTR for the Alliance that parallels the new quest that Horde players gained in patch 3.2. In it, a dialogue occurs between a Highborne Night Elf and a sentinel. The Highborne, Archmage Mordent Evenshade, requests an audience with Tyrande:
Archmage Mordent Evenshade looks over the moonwell with a sigh.
Archmage Mordent Evenshade says: Calm yourself, Sentinel. I do not seek to use it. I am merely... remembering.
Sentinel Stillbough says: Recalling your treachery?
Archmage Mordent Evenshade says: Enough. I have been apart from this for centuries. The well within this temple may be a pale spectre of the Well of Eternity, but it still holds the same... beauty. Purity.
Archmage Mordent Evenshade says: I had forgtten.
Archmage Mordent Evenshade says: I do not believe admiration and wistful thoughts are against the societal norm.
Sentinel Stillbough says: Watch yourself, Highborne.
Archmage Mordent Evenshade says: You were the one who challenged me for merely looking. I still await my audience with Tyrande.
Sentinel Stillbough says: In good time.
It may be that we see Highborne Night Elves as Mages, Wildhammer Dwarves as Shaman, and light-following former-Druid Taurens as Paladins in the near future. Is this awesome, or really awesome?

I agree with an earlier poster, I would pay a fee to convert my BE pally to a Tauren pally. Personally, I can't stand blood elves, but since its the only option to play one as Horde I bit the bullet.
Taurens... as pally's, No! not at allt in my opinon. warstomp, hammer of justice and repentance. and i normally dont play pally's so i might be missing some.
BTW play as hode but still pallys are OP as it is.
I laughed at the posters who kept typing "WTF?! WTH?! Screw Blizz!" just because they can't get around the idea that people learn new shit everyday.
Nuff rants, to finally have a transformable Troll aside of Shaman Ghost wolf form will be nice, pity they can't morph to the Amani gods form, that would have look epic :D (boo to boomkin)
personally, i think an undead paladin would be the ultimate.
Blood Elves can't be warriors.
Blood Elves = Magic
Warrior = No magic
Blood Elves = No Warrior
Period.
As for undead hunters.... Sylvanas ring any bells?
Hyjal does have ground access as far as I know of. There is a raid instance portal entrance in south Winterspring right at the tip of Darkwhisper Gorge. This could completely throw off the flying mounts in Azeroth concept; however, Blizz would have to find a way to not players angry about them unable to use their flying mounts endgame in the upcoming expansion.
sorry for double post but I made a mistake in my previous one. The raid instance portal is blocked and in my last statement I meant to say "not to make players angry".
Troll druids! image cat from being a tiger/panther depending on you hair colour that would be awesome. And as stated before in ZG you ahve shapeshifting trolls. I like the troll race so i might be overexited ^^
for ppl saying wtf to dwarf shamans, here is it. Dwarfs were created by the Titans as the Earthan, thats why they shamans. Undead Hunters just makes sense cos Human Hunter and Human hunters since it makes alot of sense. Trolls druids makes sense, but as an anti- Cenarion Circle druid. Not the one that wants natural peace but the one that prays for animals and such.
cocopuff, Wasn't it the path of warlock that made all that shit with burning leagions?
Eh, lol.
Remember the good old days when Alliance had no Shamans, and the Horde had no Paladins.
Gief back those days!
who cares abouyt lore i mean really come on its JUST A FREAKING GAME NOT REAL LIFE...........................................FREAKS
