When it comes to races, for the most part I’m not that choosey. If it makes sense aesthetically, thematically and lore…ly then I’ll go for it, unless the animations are truly egregious to me. An example would be Female Blood Elf rogue, fantastic stealth animations. Complete garbage melee animations. Like oof.
Also I ran Goblin rogue for a bit in Legion and hated having to swim in what was knee deep water for all the other races. But that’s just a slight pet peeve.
Well lets look at it further
The (player character) DKs were all people who died defending the horde/alliance against the scourge, we were such problems that we would make amazing soldiers
We even see in the OG DK intro that any weak willed ones are just killed instead because they’re not worth it
So basically, since it seems your care a fair deal about character story, the blood elf guard who died in northrend to Illidans forces really never would of had the chance to even become a DK, since Archeus wasn’t really looking to make more of their kind after being freed from the Lich King
You could retool the story and make it work to be a blood elf as well, buuuut Orc racials are pretty good for DKs and the stun reduction makes us even harder to keep CCd with all of our class mechanics on top
I tend to go male melee, female ranged. But not always. I think it was a subconscious thing originally as it was never intended. Then I ended up making a few female melee and a few male ranged.
Mostly I play female characters because Id rather watch a female run around for hours than a male.
For Races, similar, theme mattered somewhat, but also sometimes I just went with a silly open. Names are also similar where sometimes I think of something interesting and fitting, other times something silly.
Nah I hear you. I too am a man of culture, or at least I like to think so.
EDIT
Honestly I’d have liked to go Undead Death Knight, aesthetically and thematically they fit to a T, exposed bone and what not. It’s just that squeaky voice they have with the Death Knight and the lore being they were essentially killed again and raised again though you could argue there isn’t exactly a limit to how many times you can raise a corpse.
Bob is most likely taken so any of those will suffice.
Honestly, thinking about this is making me reconsidering the Male Belf Paladin.
Anyone who chooses a Belf over an Orc for a DK ought to have their IP banned
Heheh, you really don’t like Blood elves, do you?
If your DK can’t cast Light’s Judgment – well, you’re just playing it wrong.
I think they make great casters.
Yea, Good ranged. Bow animations are nice too. Melee is lacking. Crap I really am going to have to rethink my Paladin.
zTroll or go Alliance
Orc for sure. Elves are like. …Well they are Elves, and Oxhorn already told us about them.
