Goblins/Gnomes and Priests

[Sgadow]

Hello all!

So I'm bringing this up since Gnomes and Goblins are the ONLY two races in the game that don't have a class they can heal with. While I can understand some of the story behind this, it limits people who enjoy these races and healing from combining the two. My thought on this is simple:

Give them priests.

Why? Because the holy light, in and of itself, is not 'good' and doesn't only answer the call of 'good' people. We have examples of Murlocs using holy smite and the Scarlets as well, neither of which would fall into the realm of 'good' by any stretch of the imagination.

It makes sense that a Gnome could, through their connection with the Dwarves, see the holy light as a beacon of hope or a source of potential power for their mechanations.

Goblins, being greedy, can certainly see the appeal in profit from being a religious leader, healing others, etc. Also, shadow likely falls more in line with goblin greed (and can be easily taught by their forsaken counterparts or trolls).

So I ask the question: Why don't these two races have the class? You don't need new spells for them, give them existing ones.
Gnomes: Desparate Prayer and Fear Ward
Goblins: Shadowguard and Touch of Weakness

undead paladins/dworf shamans WHEN?

[Sgadow]

That would be cool! But this is about fleshing out a single missing niche in those two races, not bringing faction specific classes to each side.

If you don't have anything productive to add to the conversation, shoo.

I've always thought every race should be able to be a warrior priest and hunter. It just makes sense all races/territories have some form of protector=warrior, religion=priest, and food or gatherer=hunter

For me it's very strange to imagine a goblin priest but you can totally sell me on a goblin shaman.

Goblin priest in the grand tradition of the Great American Megachurch seems legit

[Sgadow]

FOR ONLY NINETEEN GOLD AND NINETY NINE COPPER YOU TOO CAN BE SAVED

[Syrathegreat]

Literally there's the same level of lore justifying Gnome priest as there is justifying Dwarf priest and Dwarf paladin (all the dwarf lore is "uh yeah they uh learnt it from the humans" and doesn't really predate WoW) - there's no reason why we shouldn't have them

Goblin priest in the grand tradition of the Great American Megachurch seems legit

Literally this 100%

[Sgadow]

If we can't megachurch our way to wealth then what's the point?!

[Dracarusggotham]

undead paladins/dworf shamans WHEN?

NEVER

[Sgadow]

Bringing this topic up continues until goblin priest shenanigans ensue.

[Sgadow]

Riots continue until priest racial selection improves

[Sgadow]

Rioting is now continuing until the Church of Gob is established.

[Mezzomixx]

Nightelf Paladin When?!?!

[Templar85]

Other private+ server will have gnomish priest, undead pala, and dwarf shaman. Lorewise they can fit. The best unique gigachad move for Turtlewow would be Ogres for horde. So altogether we can have +2 race/class combo for alliance, +2 for horde.

[Charcoal]

Greedy Goblin Priests with a racial priest spell that curses the enemy mob to drop even more money upon dying (like how Imperials in Elder Scrolls games can loot more gold than other races).

Also Tauren Mage when? (No really, Grimtotem Tauren wield mage spells. Why can't other Tauren?)
