Also websites. I've managed to piece together what is, and what is not pure BS. I advise you on one thing if you play any races Paladins: Palyden r go 2 uh chirch own sunday esle git worelokked cuz paledins iz HOALY n woarlokks iz oos DEMINS!
they had RELEARNED druidism from the night elves, the had forgotten druidism due to being so nomadic as a race, once they started settling down again they looked to their neighbors the Night Elves, particularly the Shan'do (teacher), Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage.
Tauren Paladins and Priests use the same spells and abilities because of game mechanics, not lore reasons. It'd take a lot on Blizzard's part to implement a class just for specific races. Besides, for new players it might get confusing seeing a Paladin and Sunwalker not being able to tell the difference.
The reason their abilities are the same as the humans is cuz yes they do warship the sun, but their power really comes from the same source as the humans power (they only think it comes from the sun)
***** All paladins are warriors of Faith, where the faith is placed in varies between races, Humans/dwarves=Holy Light, Draenei=the Naaru, Blood elves= The holy light and the sunwell, Tauren=An'she (the sun).
I sure enjoyed your video! My Tauren sunwalker's background is that she wielded the -Light- before the war on the Lich King, when she was also a member of the Argent Dawn. As Sunwalkers began to emerge she was considered to be a Sunwalker amongst her people, but a Paladin amongst the Alliance. She believes that all Light hails from the same source, one power that goes by many names and its true dwelling is a mystery.
Nice Lore vid dude... I also speculated myself on the Tauren's use of the light. I think it may be similar to the BE where most of their arcane use is specified towards the Sun unlike their counter part race of NE who focus on the moon. Therefore that's why NE don't have Paladins and why their druids mirror panthers/shadow cats while the Tauren druids Feral form mirror lions/dessert felines. So my theory is that whichever races are more attuned with the sun are likely to use the light, hence the Humans, Dwarves, Draenei, Blood Elves and Tauren. Meanwhile races who are more attuned with the Moon/night/the shadows can't use the light as effectively, hence the Night Elves, Worgen, Trolls and Undead. As for the Gnomes, Orcs Goblins and Pandaran, I believe they just choose not take on the class but may have the ability to.
Seems like the sun is merely a conduit from which the light can focus. It exists everywhere. Just look at one of the oldest lore characters, Velen, who is a priest from another solar system(different sun).
Also, Night Elf Priestesses and Priests gain their ability to access the Light from Elune, the Moon Goddess. The reason all the classes of different races have the same abilities is simply due to game mechanics.
As for the creation of the Sunwalkers and the Seers, I believe the word got out about worship of An'she and the new divisions came about, learning the powers of the light concurrently. Sunwalkers were more martially focused tauren and the Seers were those more adept at mysticism. They simultaneously gained the Holy powers and developed them to the strength and forms known now. As for why they developed to be identical to those following the way of the Light, I can't be sure about that. Perhaps it is the natural progression for those utilizing Holy abilities, whether it comes from the Light or An'she.
One thing you need to remember regarding the questions, Blizzard put gameplay over all else. This is why they have the same abilities as the other races, lore wise i think they differ in some way.
Of course gameplay comes before anything else, these are just questions concerning the lore. In the end, the lore must bend to the game play, not always the other way around.
I know this is an old video, what with it being uploaded back in 2013 so I hope this has been addressed already but you are a bit off on a few things. For example, the first Human paladins did not come from Priests teaching warriors about the light but actually the other way around. Clerics of the Church of Holly light were taught battle and combat tactics to help them better survive on the battlefield in times of war. Thus creating the first Human and possibly Dwarf Paladins. Tauren worship the sun, this is true, the Sun get its power from somewhere, and I suspect that this light it radiates comes from the very same place as that of the Naru worshiped by the Draenei and through reflection of the sun's light off its surface, the Kaldorei in their worship of the moon. It can all be chain linked back to the same source. Also while I am not 100% since it has been a few years, but while Paladins AKA Sunwalkers are a new addition to the Tauren roster of playable classes, Priests AKA seers is not. I am pretty sure I have had my Tauren Shadow Priest since before Cata when Tauren became Sunwalkers. Further more the teachings were rediscovered as actual Sunwalkers have been in lore in the distant past. I think it was stated somewhere that Baine's Father even employed some of them in secret.
+seibenlore The answer to your question is that An'she and the Light are 2 different entities, The light is a universal thing, and incarnates of light are naaru, while An'she is druidic being an eye of the Earthmother. Tauren paladins and priests don't use light they use druidism, so flash of light = regrowth, and the reason they don't have different abilities is because it would be stupid and too much work for bliz team to just make all the abilities have different icons/names for the same thing. The reason they don't shapeshift is because as a resto unless they are incarnated they will heal in their racial form, and you can't hold a sword with empowered druidic fires if you're a cat. Also taurens are jacked so there is no real need for regular druids to shapeshift either. However this is not to say that the 2 eyes are naaru as velen believes which could mean these naaru are special/corrupted to provide such power. My theory is they scraped this in the lore and just made it a philosophy of velen's because it would be pretty hard to explain why a weak ass gnomish priest wouldn't want to go cat form and rip some orcs nuts off.

Even the Tauren praise the Sun \[T]/

The Tauren did not learn Druidism from the Night Elves! They were Druids before the Night Elves, but forgot the art, only to rediscover it later.
Oh thats a good point :)
Where the hell do you learn that stuff? :D
Lore videos, I believe.

Tauren Paladin: Sun Walker Druid
Tauren Priest: Seer
Tauren Shadow Priest: Spirit Walker
If WOW gets a MTG set I think the Tauren would be Naya.
0.00. birth of a legend
Tauren Paladin is just underrated.
I like you you have good potential keep at it
Thanks I will! I appreciate the compliment!
Taurens had priests, and warriors, I guess one of each just made a baby and a Paladin was born lol. I wish there was gnome paladins...

Tony Cast tauren priest exist? :)))
I say it jokingly, since I have seen a lot of tauren paladins, but priests, not so much
Ayy, the first video
Would you play a Highmoutain Tauren warlock?
Cool Vid
I mean I think they have the same abilities purely for gameplay purposes vs anything else.
So they're Paladins and priests but not really...
Last
Nope
