Surely you've been a student once in your life, <class>. You learned from an instructor, and you gained respect for them in some way, yes? Maybe not as a person, but at the least, as one who know more than you and was willing to teach you. If not, use your imagination...

*Tahu feels that there is something more to druidism (or using the powers of nature in general) than what the night elves teach in their moon-focused approach. In their continuous strife for balance, it would be logical for the tauren could embrace the powers of [[An'she|the sun]], explaining the introduction of tauren "[[priest]]s" and "[[paladin]]s" in ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]''. As tauren have no history with the [[Light]], it can be assumed that these are not the very same classes, though rather similar, but using the powers of the sun instead of the Light. However, similar to night elf and troll priests (who are priests of [[Elune]] and the [[Loa]], respectively) they would use the same abilities as priests and paladins in the game.

Tahu Sagewind Cataclysm

Tahu Sagewind in Cataclysm

Surely you've been a student once in your life, <class>. You learned from an instructor, and you gained respect for them in some way, yes? Maybe not as a person, but at the least, as one who know more than you and was willing to teach you. If not, use your imagination...

What would you do if you came to realize your instructor may not know as much as you thought, and that you may have found a better path?

Conversation between Tahu Sagewind and Aponi Brightmane
Aponi Brightmane says: Talk to me, Tahu. Something. Anything! I'm going stir-crazy.

Notes

  • Tahu feels that there is something more to druidism (or using the powers of nature in general) than what the night elves teach in their moon-focused approach. In their continuous strife for balance, it would be logical for the tauren could embrace the powers of the sun, explaining the introduction of tauren "priests" and "paladins" in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. As tauren have no history with the Light, it can be assumed that these are not the very same classes, though rather similar, but using the powers of the sun instead of the Light. However, similar to night elf and troll priests (who are priests of Elune and the Loa, respectively) they would use the same abilities as priests and paladins in the game.
