Draenei warlock idea

Being a fan of space-goats, I was dissapointed when they didnt get a new class. But I was thinking, if night elves get to go against tradition and become mages, why can't draenei go against tradition and become warlocks?
It could be an underground sort of thing (like human locks, but under-groundier). Maybe there was a group of draenei who figured out a way to study shadow magic without turning eredar-y.
For some reason, I think it could have somthing to do with all them irridated crystals (maybe an alternate source of fel power?)
Discuss.

Well there are Draenei in game who use shadow magics and demon spells (Auchidoun area of Terrokar), the Draenei on a whole would cast out anyone who uses Fel Magic as they know what that does to their people. It's not like Orcs, where they had the warlocks left over while the shamans were making a comeback, the Hooved ones know what happens to people who follow that dark path.

The eredar of the Burning Legion are truly the first warlocks, corrupted by the eredar of Argus. Now, if we consider that the Draenei fled on a spaceship, leaving Draenor behind, in order to escape their vicious power (and the orcs, let's not forget the orcs and their warlocks), I don't find them liking warlocks any time soon.Heh, your mixing Lore: The Naaru saved the Draenei on Argus from the Man'ari Eredar, and they fled to Draenor. The Exiles then escaped 30 years after the Orc Draenei war on board the Exodar as they were fleeing from the Blood Elf forces of Kael'thas and the Betrayer.

Why make a new thread about this when there was already 2-3 threads about it and it was pointed how bad lore-wise it would be.

Actually, I find the idea makes some sense. Like fighting Fire with Fire, the Naruu seem to tolerate Warlocks, and if they told the prophet to let the draenei warlock live, I think he'd listen.
EDIT: Besides, this opens up the possibility for red skinned Draenei to be playable.

Not just red skinned, I was thinking maybe all Draenei warlocks would be Broken. I've tossed this idea around in my head for a long time but I don't think it would happen. There is absolutely no way that a race so entirely revolved around the Light and fighting the Burning Legion would embrace, or even allow as a "necessary evil", a group of their own who use the very powers they have swore to eradicate, especially after watching the rest of their grand race fall to it before.
Just not gonna happen.

While I'd be the first one to say that draenei are getting shafted...
no
. Druids or even rogues would be more workable. Bear in mind that the former would require new lore building up to it; the latter would require
justification
. Warlock is...just
no
. Don't muck up my Tall Blues with warlocks.
Besides, what draenei are missing is a stealth class, as it is. Warlock would be not only inappropriate, but entirely redundant in terms of function.
And if you're such a fan...why'd you use that gawdawful slang term?

Many said that about Tauren Paladins, Night Elf Mages, and Gnome Priests.

Of course they did. Asked me back then, though, if lore-wise are they possible, and I probably would have said yes. Those three examples all make sense when you boil it down to lore and lore alone. Do the same thing with Draenei and the warlock class and it makes absolutely no sense.
Of course this IS Blizzard. They could just add a single Draenei talking to Velen being all like "So remember that fel magic that twisted our race into monsters and has almost wiped out what was left of us and countless other worlds? You know, that magic we, as an entire race, collectively swore to eradicate? We're gonna use it" with Velen going "lol k guess we have warlocks now, then"

because
of Fel Magics... why in the world would they pick it up to use? There is a reason most of the Shamans for the Draenei are the Broken.... not to mention Nobundo would shaman rage on any Broken who picked up the mantle of Warlock.

I like how you read the first sentence of my post and basically went on to tell me why I'm wrong, using the reason I put in not only one, but two posts.
Cool story, bro.
