PS: Paladins are perfect for RP that involves being conflicted about what is just and right. I mean yes, of course, paladins can be evil, blah, blah, blah, but the Dark Iron Clan is a very different culture from the other two clans, and especially draenei. This is the call of the paladin: to protect the weak, to bring justice to the unjust, and to vanquish evil from the darkest corners of the world.Īs long as your paladin considers Queen Moira a legal authority, follows the laws of Shadowforge (and Ironforge, considering she has a seat in it and it would be idiotic to jeopardize the good reputation of the clan) and believes their cause just, then your dwarf is a textbook paladin in my book.

That alone SCREAMS paladin from any and all venues.Īs for contempt, that is something derived from one’s judgement, is it not? The whole thing about three virtues everybody brings up when citing paladin lore is inherently a human concept. I just came here to point out that the Blackrock Depths have a Ring of Law. So in summary: how lore appropriate are dark iron paladins really and would a pragmatic dark iron who harbors some contempt and values his own kin over all else even wield the light, realistically? I feel that if i wanted to play an honorable upstanding dwarf i might as well create a bronzebeard dwarf. So with that in mind, would a dark iron with these characteristics even be able to wield the light? They are pragmatic, devious schemers who are not afraid to dabble in forbidden magics, arguably the antithesis of a light wielding paladin and they strike me as unabashed. But, the dark iron paladins do get a sick ram and to be fair, there were dark iron dwarves in old Blackrock Depths that used holy magic but then we have the key charecteristics of the dark irons that sets them apart from the bronzebeards and wildhammers. Right now i’m not really feeling like leveling another warrior, but it feels like the more lore appropriate combo.

This isn’t exactly something that bothers me though since paladins and warriors are my two favorite classes in the game, but nevetheless i’m very torn. It boils down to warrior or paladin because the heritage armor basically only fits plate wearers. So i’m creating another dark iron and i just can’t decide on the class.
