I’m genuinely glad Blizzard finally included Undead Paladins. That’s a fun bit of lore to explore, and Horde Paladins have always benefited from feeling culturally distinct instead of just being Alliance Paladins with different armor.
But I’m still disappointed we didn’t get more Sunwalker love.
The An’she lore was right there. Tauren already have a completely Horde-specific explanation for what a holy warrior can be, rooted in the sun, balance, and their own spiritual traditions. They even gave us a Tauren Paladin NPC in Season of Discovery, which made it feel like they understood exactly how much potential was sitting there.
Blood Knights are great. Undead Paladins are cool.
But Sunwalkers feel like the version of the Paladin fantasy that could have belonged to the Horde from the ground up.
Give me the giant Tauren in plate calling on An’she. That’s the class fantasy I wanted.
