Goblin Monk / Worgen Monk - Where are they?

Community General Discussion
1

Since we’re getting a model overhaul, when are we getting our goblin and worgen monks?

Draenei and Blood elves have their monks and their starting zones are both perpetually in TBC.

Every other Vanilla race has monk and their overworld is literally stuck in Cataclysm(Gnomes having a monk trainer in New Tinkertown DURING the Gnomeregan surface rebellion against Crushcog, Undead in Deathknell during the Rotbrain Insurgency, etc).

There’s even a goblin monk in the Monk class hall on the roof of the tea house as a teaser. He used to be a mage in WoD and rerolled to monk making him the first known goblin monk.

The theme of monk is to take control of one’s inner rage and negative emotions and that kind of self-therapy is perfect for the worgen.

It works for the Void Elves, of all people, who are constantly wracked with whispers from the Void itself.

So, Blizzard, respectfully, it’s about time, my friends! :slight_smile:

I am also curious about this.

Pretty much true.

If a Nightborne, HMtauren and Velves can be monks why not them?

Monks should be a goblin class because they’re the best race!

That video is pure truth. A national treasure trove.

Yeah it’s pretty flawed logic.

“Worgen and Goblins can’t be monks because their starting zones are in cata!”

No starter zones besides Pandaren work canonically for monks so why they’re getting caught up on Worgen sand Goblins specifically just boggles me.

Not to mention, all races added after Cata are running quests they were never around for so…

Exactly.

Now’s the perfect time to introduce monk to those two races. Hell, do it mid-expansion even to coincide with their model update in 8.2.5!

He was a Goblin Monk in WoD, not a Mage. I’ll forgive the error though, since I support your plight wholeheartedly for Worgen & Goblin Monks.

… He mentioned that he used to be a mage is all I’m saying.

Pedantic calamari elf!

I think Hunters, Rogues, Warriors and Monks should be available to all races.

Wouldn’t wanna get Rising Sun Kicked by a Worgen.

I would, human warrior!

This so much! When you start any of the “original races” then you’re dealing with the consequences brought onto Azeroth by Deathwing. No pandaren present in those zones at that time. If you create a belf or draenie then you start even further back in time.

Goblins and Worgen don’t need to be monks.

Especially goblins.

Hopefully we’ll see a bunch of new race /class comboes next expansion even with the allied races.

For the love of chi, only Panda’s should be allowed to be monks!
