I really want to make a horde druid

But the races that can druids on horde faction are just so stinky. Your choices over there are; Cow, Troll or Upright Troll. Like seriously? Ew.

I’d settle for an Undead druid, because I think that’d actually be pretty cool.

Please try to balance out the stink with more druid races for horde, please.

I mean… ours are stinky forest elf, stinky sea dweller and stinky wolf so we can’t say too much.

… you think a literal corpse is less stinky than a Troll or a cow?

… you actually may have a point.

Those “Upright trolls” — live amongst well-kept temples, gold & bountiful splendour in a flourishing kingdom …

I can’t say much for the other trolls, but as for the Zandalari – I’d wager they’re probably far more civilised than say — The Night Elves & few other races :joy:

It’s not stink for me, it’s the stereotypes. The fact that Trolls are a blatant and sometimes kind of nasty Jamaican stereotype, makes me really uncomfortable in the modern world and I won’t play one.

The fact that Tauren are an almost-always flattering but still very heavy Native American stereotype… still bothers me.

I’mma be real with you, the cows are the best race in the game. Since Druids are protectors of nature and care quite a bit about the cycle of life and death, as cool as Undead are they’d be very anti-druid to their core.

Could probably see some blood elf druids once the void messes with the sunwell.

Similar to undead priests, does a balance druid make much sense for trolls? Balance druid makes the most for night elves and possibly tauren / HM, blood elves could comparatively fit into the balance and possibly restoration theme with the feral theme being more detached in concept.

The evolution of druid seems to be towards the arcane arts, as seen with TWW talents, death magic among druids is an occurring theme, so maybe when they focus more on arcane we see death having a larger impact on druid fantasy. Meaning the races with prior focus on arcane arts expand on it through death (cessation of devoted light) which reintroduces them to nature (druid and shamanism)

Plz try to learn to just enjoy things. They arent natives or Jamaicans. They just have inspired elements.

Exactly… the perfect excuse for blood elf druids… but void elves aren’t allowed. The work of the Sunfury, and thus the Sunseekers is ours, and ours alone. Tough nuggies, poser traitor!

I don’t care much for stereotypes or lore. Blizzard can retcon all the games and books if it means we can have less stink for the druids.

I’m not judging them and I think that’s very possible. I personally do not care. But with the modern world how it is, I feel uncomfortable playing a Troll especially. I feel like I’m going to get in trouble and Blizz isn’t. Like how J.K. Rowling got in trouble for her Goblins being a certain stereotype, which are a carbon copy of WoW’s Goblins.

While wow isn’t great at showing it in game, and Legion has only made it worse. Not all druids learned how to druid from the Cenarion Circle. Troll druids impartial gain their abilities from Loa worship, and technically the Wild Gods also fall under that purview.

So while Balance is super tied to Elune, troll druids learn how to use similar abilities through specific Loa that show them how.

Honestly, I wish WoW would go more into the “non-main” factions of player classes, like troll druids, the sunwalkers, tidesages, etc.

I’m not sure if three is just the limit or not but I’ve got three trolls and haven’t been canceled yet. You’ll be fine.
