Need help with class traits

I’m coming up with a personality-quiz style thing for WoW classes but I just hit a wall. I need 5 traits for each class that help consolidate that class as an archetype. It would be helpful if those traits weren’t necessarily related to the game so that people who aren’t familiar with the game’s lore could identify those tropes/stereotypes and properly select whichever option is closer to the class.

Can anyone spare a few ideas? :slight_smile:

What have you got so far?

:cactus:

For that specific part of the test, nothing :frowning: But I’m thinking objective, if slightly unrelated stuff like “Day”/“Night” (e.g.: paladin would be day, warlock would be night).

Ah ok. So, things like:

Watch from afar
Get up close and personal

?
:cactus:

Yes, that sort of thing. Those are a bit on the nose, but that’s the general direction I’m looking for.

Watching fireworks
Watching slasher flick

Gardening
Yoga

Mountain climbing
Power lifting

I guess it really depends on how non-specific it’s meant to be.

:cactus:

I think gardening would fit a druid, yoga would fit a monk. Mountain climbing for a…hunter? And power lifting, of course, for a warrior :smiley:

The thing is, some of these can apply to more than one class, so it’s more about what’s behind the trait. So for power-lifting you could say physically-oriented, which would also fit paladin and death knight, maybe…

Well the more general they are the more classes they can apply to. But if a general answer leads to more pointed options it can get narrowed from there.

:cactus:

For instance, If classes had a hobby, which would it be?
eg:
Death Knight: Working
Demon Hunter: Partying
Druid: Gardening
Hunter: Hiking
Mage: Reading
Monk: Meditating
Paladin: Voluntary work
Priest:
Rogue:
Shaman: Counselling
Warrior: Watching TV
Warlock:

Priest would be red cross volunteer.

Paladin would be lemonade stands.

Rogue would be skate boarding.

Warlock would be hookah lounges.

:cactus:

LOL lemonade stands? For being industrious?? That makes sense, actually. Skateboarding also makes a lot of sense in my head… Hookah lounges, though, why?

rogue: mugging people or hanging out at a harbor
priest: giving sermons at a church
lock: idk mastering demonology or something like that
