Ogres for Horde please!

Community General Discussion
1

We know Ogres are a staple of the Horde. We know they have connections to the Horde. Rexxar has an ogre clan in Dustwallow Marsh that is loyal to him, and it’d be so cool to add a giant race to the Horde.

The Alliance can get a race of giant quillboars, give them a name relevant to the ancient they worship… Aggamanar? Anyways, they’re quillboar, and they’re giants, normally peaceful, and they wield the light and the elements. They have druid forms and they’re all pig forms.

Ogre classes:
Rogue
Warrior
Shaman
Warlock
Mage
Death Knight
Hunter(Gorilla pet in armor)
Monk

Quillboar classes:
Rogue
Warrior
Death Knight
Mage
Priest
Monk
Druid
Hunter(Pet is a battleboar)

Ogres and Quillboar each get battleboars as mounts. The difference is that Ogres get the Draenor-inspired board, while Quillboar get Azeroth-inspired ones like oyu see in Kalimdor or Westfall.

Ogres: Mount: Draenic Battleboar(The only pigs big enough to carry ogres around)

Quillboar: Mount: Azerothian battleboar(HD version of the pigs we see in Westfall or Kalimdor, but decked out in armor)

Racial button

Ogre: “ME SHASH YOU!” Inflicts the user’s maximum health to the target. Cooldown 90 seconds. Knocks nearby enemies within 20 yards away up to 100 yards away!

NOTE: If this fails to kill in PVP, the ogre gains “ME MAD NOW!” until either the ogre dies, or their target dies.

User buff: “ME MAD NOW!”: Links the user and target if “ME SMASH YOU!” fails to kill. The ogre deals 500% more damage to the linked target until either dies. User also cannot be slowed!

Target debuff: “YOU MAKE ME MAD”: You didn’t die when the ogre hit you! Now you’re in trouble!"

Quillboar: “Quillboar Shot” Debuffs the target with “Quillboar’s quill”. Can be cast from 100 yards away. Cooldown is 30 seconds(maximum charges of 3). If the target has 3 stacks or more of “Quillboar’s Quill” from the user, user gains “Escape measure”.

Quillboar’s Quill: Increases damage the target receives by 10%(stacks up to 10 times)

“Escape Measure”: User cannot be slowed below normal mobility speed. User also gains 50% increased run speed for 15 seconds. Escape measure lasts until first target with 3+ stacks of Quillboar’s Quill dies.

Notable passives:

Ogre: “Me strongest!”: Ogre can wield all weapons regardless of class, and even dual wield 2-handed weapons as if they were 1-handed weapons! So you could see Ogre enhancement shaman dual wielding 2-handers!

Quillboar: “Lessons of the earth”, Gains 50% more XP from gathering professions, and 50% more resources.

I’d rather have the Moknathal end up as an allied race rather than ogres. I know people certainly have wanted ogres for a long time, but I just can’t see them ending up as a race made playable.

I’d also rather see Gnolls over quillboar due to the Gnoll connection with goblins. Would be a good allied race to tie to goblins in the future.

Ogre rogue? Lol

Tauren or kul Tirans cAnt be rogues yet right? Ogres just seems so big and clumsy to be stealthy imo.

But hey if they’re in the game - who cares! As long as there’s a two headed option :slight_smile:

gnolls sound fine. I will never play quillboar, but maybe they can get us furbolgs.

5

I agree with you on this, furbolgs would be a better choice since lore-wise alliance is friendly to multiple furbolg tribes.

6

Rather have mogu.

7

Okay, Furbolgs joining the Alliance would be a better option then lore-wise. A tribe of them in Felwood? I got an idea…

Furbolgs as a giant race to par with Ogres… They’d have the same hunched head position like Tauren, but resemble Pandaren in physique. They’d be able to have classes like…
Hunter
Warrior
Rogue
Druid(ALL of their druid forms would look like bears)
Mage
Priest
Warlock
Monk
Shaman

Sound good?

Kul tirans can be rogues i am pretty sure

At the moment we’re looking for an allied race for the forsaken so I don’t think this would convince the dev team.

Would anyone actually play such an ugly race? lol

You’re playing a goat person. I don’t think you have any right to call other people’s races ugly.

Goat people are beautiful (at least the girls). If you don’t think so, you have a very unpopular opinion.

people that have a thing for animals, ew

(x) doubt.

Ogre enhancement shaman. Ogre ret paladin. Ogre sword rogue.

This would be a huge DPS boost for playing ogres and a loss for literally every other race.

An insta-gib ability for a player character that turns into a god mode buff if it somehow doesn’t kill the target?

Not only do I never want to see playable Ogres, but this version would be the worst incarnation I’ve ever seen, the last thing they need to do is add a race with this much innate power.

Here is a novel idea. How about a passive called “Dumb as a brick.”

Dumb as a brick - Ogres cannot grasp the concepts of magic, unless you select a two-headed ogre you are not allowed access to the Mage, Warlock, Monk, Paladin, Priest, Shaman, Demon Hunter, Death Knight, or Druid classes. In order to pick a two-headed ogre you must have two accounts opt-in. Both accounts are in partial control of the character and both accounts must be active and logged in to operate the character. You also take up two slots in any group that you form/join.

That would be enough to ruin the Ogre race for most people I think. Only being able to pick a warrior or rogue otherwise you are at the mercy of another player. Lets get this in the works Blizzard I want to see the tears.

Well damn I didn’t think you guys existed. Goofy humans being stealthy lol
