Does WoW have too many races and classes now?

Community General Discussion
1

There’s 12 classes
Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Mage, Monk, Druid, Warlock, Shaman, Death Knight, Demon Hunter

And 13 races
Human, Dwarf, Night Elf, Gnome, Draenei, Worgen, Pandaren, Orc, Goblin, Troll, Tauren, Undead, Blood Elf

This is excluding the Allied races… At what point is enough?

As for classes, i think i would rather see new specs for existing classes. “Hero” specializations, or something similar.

edit: formatted the list

No, the more the merrier!

but i do think customization of current races needs more work, and current classes need better attention…

Well, not necessarily. The balancing of classes is very difficult.

They have just enough for a third faction…

Personally, I’d like to see them add more character customization options before we get anymore races/classes. Even something small like sharing all available hair colours between all races would be lovely.

Yes. Way too many to make balancing remotely possible.

i think it’s too many. I’d be fine with them deleting/removing shamans & dk’s but that’s not going to happen.

the reason i think it’s too many is that they’ve simplified the classes down
to 4-6 button rotations, so they’re all just kinda the same with some changes to the graphics as to how those affects look.

Too few. As an altoholic, I need more classes and more races.
Much more.

I’m always open to more customization but Allied Races have MUCH less polish than core races. Most feel half-arsed and unfinished, which takes away from what they’re trying to accomplish.

18 Classes and 285 races. 118 of which are varieties of Elf.

Too many melle classes or short on ranged classes/specs, YES

Yes please!! I love the Horde but think a 3rd option could make things VERY interesting :partying_face:

I’m glad someone else said it. Pure laziness imo. Trying to pretend they’ve actually done something, when all they’ve done is been in Microsoft Paint haha

More customization among current races and more classes. After this expac ill be good on races for awhile

I think we’re getting to too many races. People already complain about their favorite race not getting any lore. Now imagine if we had 20 other races. No way they would all get represented how they’d like.

I’m not a caster but they definitely could use a hero class magic user. EverQuest back in the day had Wizard, Conjurer, illusionist, enchanter, necromancer.
We have fire, ice, arcane. Now you can nix out conjurer for us because that’s covered by ice and warlocks.
There’s room for necromancers though and illusionist.

Someone actually things more races and classes is too much? That’s seriously the first time I’ve heard someone say that as a player. I could see a developer saying that.

No, its all flavor.

They have too many melee specs. I wouldn’t mind if they made some ranged versions of melee classes, like make unholy DKs a ranged caster/summoner spec or something, as an example. Otherwise, every new class that has been introduced into the game is melee, and even a ranged spec has been made melee (Survival). Too much melee. No balance.

More variety is gud.
