Can you guys help me out with this? What’s the most lore-friendly class for Vulpera? I guess rogues and hunters, but I already have three hunters, and rogue… I think Goblins are a better option for rogues.
Thoughts?

Aside from Rogues and hunters;
Shaman? they have been messing around with totems in Vul’dun quests.
I think Kero is a warrior. had a sword and shield in the quest chain.
but game play wise, i would go with monk. that give you tank heal or dps options.

Why in the word do you have 3 hunters? Is this on the same realm?

Oh have they? It seems I didn’t pay attention, I thought them being shamans was a weird option that came out of the blue. Thanks!
Well I have a Dwarf Hunter, the first hunter I ever made. I grew tired of it eventually and made a Blood Elf Hunter. I’ve been playing the latter as my Horde main but I also grew tired of Blood Elves ever since I race changed my Alliance main to a Void Elf xD My third hunter is a Void Elf that I levelled to unlock the heritage armor.
Plus, my goal is to level a character of each single race to unlock all heritage armors. 
(And I’m about to achieve it, I just need a Troll and an Orc!) This means I am bound to repeat classes, as there are twice as many races as classes.
PS: No, they’re not on the same realm. I don’t like repeating class on the same realm, unless they’re the opposite faction.

yeah, they are learning it. so they would be under the “new to shaman thing” but are capable of learn it. one example is in " Vulpera for a Day" where you put out fires using a water totem. general expression seems to be. this could be useful. who knew.

Can they be Warriors? Because a Fury Furry is just waiting to happen.

I honestly don’t know, maybe warrior? There were a lot of fighters fighting for survival in Voldun. The only ones that popped out were warrior, rogue, and hunter. But only if we can have a Alpaca pet eventually (jk)

omg so funny, this reminds me when I decided last month to delete a lot of excess toons. I ended up deleting 8 mages in their 30s - 40s. I still have my main Undead mage thats 115, and I still have my main Alliance mage that’s 46 rofl. My friend was like why? I told him I honestly didnt’ realize how many mages I tried to make.

I already have a rogue as my main but I’m thinking about making another rogue. Their heritage armor especially gives me major rogue vibes. If you like a class and don’t mind grinding another race in that class, don’t worry about it! I could make 100 rogues and still love it so that’s what I’m gunna do!

Personally, I am turning my monk into one. All I can think of a monk Vulpera is a furry yoda =D And no…i do not picture goblins being anywhere NEAR as agile and swift as Vulpera. Rogue would also work, but given their adaptability and survival skills, hunter works too.

The best class for all races is monk; that’s just facts.

Lore-wise, most vulpera are probably along the lines of rogues or hunters, possibly ‘light’ warriors in that they dont tend to wear much heavy plate gear or anything like that, not sure if you can manage that with transmogs, but you could always use their heritage armor on an arms warrior with a polearm and it’d look good.
They link up really well with shamans, too. A LOT of the quests you do in vol’dun for the vulpera have them using or lending you totems they ‘find’ out in the desert that do various things. I dont think they’d have quite as much synergy with elementals/elemental spirits as other races, but given their voice lines and caravaneer-style culture, it makes sense that they would be able to bargain with elementals just like goblins do (and, in a different sense, any shamans).
They also seem to draw a lot of cultural aspects from the neighboring zandalari, so it’s likely that they believe in / practice worship of several different Loa, which to a degree can mesh in with shamanistic practices.
The classes I think fit them least are priest, mage, and warlock; we dont see a ton of magical prowess from any vulpera NPCs, and usually those that do use magic of some kind are getting it via trinkets/totems/etc. that they scavenge from the desert. Also, if any vulpera could just summon water and food out of thin air, they’d be propped up as a god among the others, given that they all live in a very inhospitable desert with little of either resource. We see absolutely no involvement of demons in vol’dun, and there are no zandalari warlocks either, so they really have nowhere they’d be able to pick up that knowledge from.
Shadow priest MIGHT work if you base off the idea that you’re some random vulpera that got mind-slaved to the old god thing underneath zandalar, but that’s stretching it IMO.
The vulpera that we see outside of vol’dun all tend to be piratey-rogue types (outlaw rogues).
Lastly we come to monk…
Lore-wise, I think monk doesnt fit the vulpera at all. They have no known contact with pandaria, other than maybe the faintest of references due to their zandalari neighbors (also think its stupid for zandalari to be monks when they actually were hostile with pandaria).
However, gameplay wise, monk kinda fits: Fighting with bare hands when you live in a desert with few sources of weaponry makes sense. They’re small, they’re scrappy, and monks utilize speed and agility in fighting which fits vulpera perfectly. They even have claws for that extra unarmed damage =P
Summoning the monk/animal effigies (xu’en the tiger, red crane, ox, etc.) could be linked to their possible worship of the Loa. Kimbul, the Tiger Loa, could easily be headcanon’d as the source of the Xu’en spirit that you can summon as a windwalker.

I’ll be race changing this toon as soon as Vulpera are available, so “Fury Furry” confirmed 
Also planning on leveling a Vulpera monk for the heritage armor.

I do agree that they have NO ties to pandaren so monk seems like a stretch, but like you said, they have had to fight tooth and nail in the desert anyway. They are also small, fox ppl…I imagine their agility and grace are exceptional, so their ability to pick up the monk way of life, at least physically, isn’t too hard to imagine. All they would really have to learn is more of the boring, inward stuff =P

Does anyone here think Survival Hunter suits Vulpera very well? I think the spec defines them very well.
