I’m pretty sure everyone has been talking about this at one point but what are for you guys the correct classes for each races? A pretty simple one would be Pandaren as Monks.
I’m currently struggling to find some suitable classes for some Horde-characters. I would love to have one male and female character per race, therefore I try to make the best out the situation.
Tauren: Sunwalker or Shaman? Warrior?
Troll: Shaman and… what else? What exactly are these Headhunters?
HM Tauren: I have no effing clue, to be honest. Druid and Warrior?
Undead: What would be a suitable female class? Would prefer a mage-class due the warfront set.
I feel like spriests and subrogues would be 95% of all void elves, since if you are already neck deep in arcane like mages are, why would you willingly risk your people’s survival by threatening the sunwell (and be exiled as a result) just so that you can keep delving deeper into void?
Curiosity could get the better of the mage or they could be simply a very power-hungry individual, I suppose? There’s nothing that says you cannot use both Void and Arcane.
Except some of the Blood elves who would later become Void elves were merely scholars of the Void. That doesn’t mean they favour it over the Arcane. The proces to become a void elf was involuntary, after all.
Clearly not that unlikely since mages (along with warriors, hunters and warlocks) make up the bulk of Umbric’s people.
Ironically priests get no representation at all and rogues get only the Ghostblade Scouts that are meant to be fledgling void elves.
In fact, shadow priest makes the least sense of all as the void elves’ relationship with the void isn’t religious at all nor do they embrace insanity. It is quite fitting when looking at pure aesthetics though.
Although I get the logic behind this one, it’s worth noting that Hunter access has only been available to Gnomes for like, three years. It is certainly the most tinker-tech oriented class, though outside of that Mages and Warlocks also do wonders, as the other half of the Gnomish intellectual expertise that isn’t mechanical is usually magical.
While they have only been available to us players for a short time, hunters use tech to a far greater degree than all other classes put together, ranging from traps to firearms and even robotic pets. I can’t see any other choice.
While gnomes undeniably make excellent mages, many other races do too. Meanwhile, the gnomish technological expertise is basically uncontested (aside from goblins, obviously).
I have already four mages (female NB, female DID, female Worgen, male velf), still need to find out which suit the Horde the best. Everything but no Belf mage, already got a warlock for that (suits the green eyes better) and a Farstrider belf. Two + DH are enough.
I have most of these combos but some aren’t quite clear. Tauren Sunwalkers are apparently a thing in lore.
‘Void hunters’ and the like isn’t really something we players can access.
Being devoted wielders of the void, spriests - and to a lesser degree subrogues - are the closest you can get to those who go truly neck deep into the void.
Tauren sunwalkers have extremely messy lore, being inconsistently portrayed as typical paladins or sun-focused druids depending on time and place.
Either way, it’s safe to say I would not pick them as the main class to represent the tauren race any time soon.
With the Cult of Forgotten Shadow or whatsitscalled, the forsaken have by far the largest and most notable grouping of Shadow priests in the game.
From what I recall, Sunwalkers were strictly a concept born out of the renowned “Rule of Cool” (Creating a race/class combo or others because of it being fun), and were mainly meant to even out the Shaman/Paladin split with Dwarves getting Shammies in the same expansion.
I’d say the most representative Tauren classes would be Shaman or Druid.
Is that for certain? I’m still holding out for an apothecary job class at some point but because this will be only a leisure character for RP-purposes, it really doesn’t matter in the end, I suppose.
I believe that the cult of forgotten shadows is a group in the Priests of the Conclave in the Netherlight Crucible, and not specifically a Forsaken group. They could make up a large fraction of it though.
yeah, looking at the List of Members on that page, it certainly is odd that the group where all known members are Undead would feel it fit to have a lone and living priest as their leader.
