Best Death Knight race for Alliance?

Community General Discussion
1

I have a wolf which I’m unhappy with. Most of the gear looks terrible on him. Very upper body heavy with toothpick legs… I have most of my mogs without shoulders just to balance things out.

I’m thinking of race changing to either Lightforged Draeni, Void Elf, Pandaren (for the 2h animations) or another human (ugh).

Imo lightforged look best but they look super weird on any mounts that aren’t elephants. Also hooves.

Void elf is cool but a tad too small. Same issue I had with blood elves playing non caster classes.

Human is the ideal choice, but I already have this human Warrior main

Thoughts?

Mechagnome. You have no heart. Hardly any flesh. Could install buzzsaws on your hands and slowly rip your target apart.

Lightforged Death Knight still sounds kinda goofy but maybe Avenging Felcrusher would help the look?

Ha! I was just going to say that! Funny how the first 3 replies came from Mechagnomes.

Panda? That sounds a bit different. Could be fun!

I may be biased, but Void Elf DK thematically looks really nice.

Dwarf or Draenei. Either flavor.

Meh. Their racials are mainly for casters

Honestly, I don’t even pay attention to racials anymore. I just play what I think is cool nowadays.

No thanks. Not looking to play as a trash can, no offense.

Don’t have them unlocked anyhow

Human. I’m sorry, but it’s the truth. Human is the iconic race for Death Knight, not just in The Alliance but for the class period. Arthas casts a long shadow, but he’s not alone. Bolvar, Falric and Marwyn, Thassarian. Nearly every notable death knight is a human male.

Failing that, void elf I suppose. The Scourge had access to nearly an entire slaughtered nation of elves, I imagine there would be a lot of them lurching about.

Dark Iron. If you could change the burning hair to blue they’d be even better, but they’re still pretty dope.

So for Panda
I will just say
They have the best attack animations for everything, 2h included.

Yup. I have a panda arms warrior in my Horde server for that very reason.

That seems rather harsh. The guy is trying to decide between a few choices he’s interested.

If you have a problem with weird shouldars then do not go with Draenei as they also have lot of weird shoulders :frowning:

The best race is the one you think looks cool.

Racials only matter at the highest level of play.

If you aren’t a world first mythic raider or trying to be gladiator this season, don’t worry about racials.

We’ve had far worse insults. Remember when the community called us Diaper Gnomes? Pickle Rick? Thumb?
