WoW Forever GuideThe undead find the Light
2004 said
The goals of the undead "remain somewhat mysterious", and they are the only Horde race with no shaman.
Forever says
The undead can be paladins.
The 2004 guide didn't quite know what to make of the undead. In the class overview it sets them apart from the orcs, tauren and trolls, who share a set of beliefs, and leaves their aims as an open question.
Forever gives them something nobody in 2004 would have guessed. Undead paladin is one of the six new combinations Blizzard has confirmed. The knights of Lordaeron, back for a second shift.
Paladins are armoured holy warriors who can heal, protect and hit things with a very large hammer. The undead are the former citizens of a fallen human kingdom. You can see why people have feelings about this one.
