How awesome Pandaren are?

The problem I have with the male pandaren at least is how much they deform the armor to fit it in their huge bellies.
They look like if they could roll all the way down a slope if they lost their footing.

The female ones look ok though I guess.
It seems Blizzard loves to make the males of several of the less humanlike races to look as weird as they can while keeping the females more humanlike

Lol jokes.

But yes arms always and forever. Fury is only open to me now they can wield two 1 hander. Dual wield two hander looks stupid imo. But arms like is hard to give up.

I will miss those insane slam crits when azerite is gone. Arms has been so much fun playing with different az builds. I also liked the huge bleed damage, but I guess the change to mastery means bigger hits all round. This is why I have panda ally warrior, one horde arms Warrior is not enough

I wasnt there in MoP but i understand what you say, i too felt that pandaria was a bit out of touch compared to the wow fantasy, as the years passed though i really appreciated MoP and i think it was a fun addition overall

I get this vibe too, i believe this is due to their really girly, animations and face.

I simply turned my Kul Tiran warrior into an ogre.

Yes. I remember pre wow launch original look for female troll. Very similar to male. Blizz changed it because people apparently can’t stand female race as ugly or monstrous as male version

This is why vulpera reign supreme, our male and female doesn’t have this crazy notion going on where the genders look completely different with the male resembling some power or monster fantasy and the female being Snapchat filtered.

Pandaren got hands down the best two-hand animations.

Pandaren are the real deal, we should make a pandaren gathering in game event from both factions.

The fact pandaren were the last proper unique race blizz made shows. Their animations, spell casts and general way they move is excellent compared to most other races. I love it when my mage dodges a blow as I move backwards and cast an instant spell, back flip into a nuke looks amazing when it happens!

The Vulpera have the same realism in dimorphism as lots of mammals, that is why

Panda fun fact. Panda bears are geneticly closer related to brown bears than to red pandas.

Yeah, the people who named both animals such similar things sounds like a child

Indeed. Yet look at worgen, tauren and Pandaren. Their females are very different from the males.
I mean tauren, okay, bulls do vary from cows a fair bit
but pandas? Wolves? Nah just a case of “gotta make it look obviously female, so let’s tone down that fierceness and up the cute factor”

Vulpera spared because nobody was seriously going to try and make the males of a race of small fox people look muscular and scary. Just no.

I love Pandarens! They remind me of Kung Fu Panda in a way. I love the Asian aesthetic . They have one of the best dances and jokes in the game.

I don’t like the males mouthbreathing, it’s just so heavy, it looks like they are a step away from collapsing :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
I have 3 females though, but their casting animations are not as good as some other races, except the one where they open their arms at the end, I love that one :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
Overall, I would say they are pretty high on my list of favourite races, together with blood elves, tauren, and draenei.

While i don’t play a pandaren, the mindset most pandaren players seems to have are desirable as frick.

I don’t think it’s possible to play a chubby zen panda and take the game that seriously.
Same for gnome players. I find the less hardcore/more bizarre the race appears, the more chilled the player.

Vulpera are an exception and i don’t know why, I’ve seen both relaxed and extremely toxic vulpera

I’ve got a male pandaren rogue knocking about somewhere, makes me feel like Chris Farley in Beverly Hills Ninja - that film was terribly brilliant, so by extension so are pandaren!

Their heavy mouthbreathing is because they are chubby and also these animals remove their body heat this way, like dogs do because they cant sweat :smiley:

you would be surprised to know pandarens always existed in this game since warcraft 3 and vulpera is the one that looks really off.
The whole asian theme is a bit weird but the pandaren in warcraft 3 was a brewmaster with a martial art vibe which by the way was a really cool hero i wish pandaren of wow had his ultimate abillity.
