Bloodelves playable as paladins?

The comment is towards the end of the mini-interview. It wasn't confirmed or denied. Since Blizz is rewriting the lore of Warcraft it may be possible that Bloodelves can be paladins and Draes as shamans. Suppposedly there is a screenie of a bloodelf in the T2 pally armor but I didn't see one.

Also it showed footage of a flying mount.

Thought tigole said in the interview how fond he was of the rivalry between shamans and paladins and the hatred involved on both sides.

Nah, be basically just said he hates paladins.

the hatred would only increase because the bloodelf paladin's racials would be an AE silence, whereas the draenai shaman's racials would be festering mounds of shit? Whatever, we have already seen the Draenai in paladin gear... and that extra heal over time will be a laff riot.

I'm anticipating with glee the idea that priests could be a choice. I'm assuming no, but I'd love to see those racial spells tossed onto the teeter totter.

Nah, he said he likes the conflict of alliance hating shaman and horde hating paladins.

I'd origionaly thought of bloodelves=paladin and drenai = shaman as being a good way to balance out the game a bit. However, this was before I found out that the overbite drenai arn't the 'real drenai' and that the drenai we're given now are Demon Space Paladins. Some drenai are tauren sized and fugly while others are manginable to boot!

yea I know.. smiley face = sarcasm.

And I anticipate draenei getting fear ward and desperate prayer and feedback while blood elves get touch of weakness, hex of weakness, and starshards.

Definately, Draenei heal, heals like 375hp over 15sec at level 70.

I guess all races should get a shitty racial... (don't look at the blood elves their aoe silence and mana tap doesn't count).

I don't think blood elves will get to be paladins, I'm sure that was a dev screwing around. Or hey maybe people will get console commands to port around the world randomly too, since they were doing that!

Although, they made sure to add the disclaimer that that's an NPC and NOT a player.

Funny that the hack the farmers use to teleport around the world seemed far more user-friendly than the actual teleport commands.

Might not be the last word tho, cannibalize was shitty until a couple weeks after AV was out, then they made it useful.

I'd suggest 3750.

They really need to add paladins and shamans to both sides at some point. One video, might be the same one I didn't watch, the media guy asked him if they'd do that and he basically said 'we're aware of the issue people have in PvE and PvP with the classes, but uh no comment as to what we're doing about it.'

Giving both sides the class will be like introducing a new class, but much easier for balancing purposes. At some point, any MMO vet will be looking for a new class to be added like most any other MMORPG did with expansions. I would rather they avoided that, as it's always hard to balance them without stepping on existing class roles. But, by giving both sides a class that already exists, it'd be orders of magnitude easier to balance content then an entirely new class. Plus, it'd feellike a new class if you aren't an alt freak.

uh ok as long as it works like a bandage, so I can interrupt it in PvP otherwise it's way overpowered.
