The reason I'm posting today is because I think the hero classes should be race or class specific only. I'm not trying to sound bias, but an undead death knight or a gnome death knight really doesn't fit the category for me. Death Knights should be tall, big, strong and very human (or very paladin). The c oncept of death knights are corrupted paladins if I'm correct. Also, this applies for future hero classes as well. I think the next hero class to come out are the Demon Hunters, and they are known to be a Night Elf and blood elf class, but allowing every class to be able to become a demon hunter (or even death knight for that matter) destroys the lore of warcraft. Like how does a night elf become a death knight?
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that hero classes are hero class for a reason. Some heroes are only available to some races in warcraft III, and therefore only those few races should be allowed to become that specific hero class. Right now, as far as I'm concerned, only the humans were death knights (not the old warcraft 2 orc death knights), and their transformation is due to their passion, and ignoring the rules of their supposingly original class, the paladin.
Afterall, I don't think the DK can be played as a normal character. So it really wouldn't matter if its human only (better stick with the lore than create new ones through RPG, which a lot of people are getting upset about). If I'm right, the DK should be unaccepted in both the horde and alliance society. Anyone agree with me on this?
