@ Elmo: How on earth would Druids work for Draenei? It's an entirely different religion than the one they've followed for 10,000 years. And no, one extremely mutated offshoot of the race that goes unclaimed doesn't count (the Lost Ones). People, I don't care how much you want certain race/class combos, there has to be a lore justification for it, and there is nothing plausible to suggest the Draenei would suddenly take up druidism. Shamanism is NOT the same thing as Druidism, they're related, but at the end of the day they're just not the same. Communing with the elemental spirits is a different ball of wax from being in tune with the natural world to the point where you can wield its power. Aside from all of that, shamanism itself is still not terribly widespread among the Draenei despite all the spacegoat player characters you see, and it's still somewhat of a controversial thing in the culture. There has to be more of a basis for that kind of shift in Draenei cultural values for something like Druids to make sense. Yeah, they could do it, but putting in a breadcrumb quest like with Night Elf Mages/Tauren Priests & Paladins wouldn't be enough.
