Preferred monk race

Honestly, as much as I try to make a monk in any other race, it doesn’t feel right. I prefer to have a pandaren monk. Maybe it’s just cause the animations feel like they fit them simply cause of the culture of the Pandarens. But I just have a hard time being a monk in any other race

If that makes sense

I usually play mostly BE’s with some orcs and tauren in the mix but I just race changed my BE monk to a panda because of remix.

I had so much fun in remix with my panda monk that now I have 2 of them on 2 different servers.

They do fit the theme very well but I think tauren do, too.

I’ve made and played a monk in every other race available. it just didn’t sit right with me. maybe it’s just my personal preference, i just can’t play a monk unless it’s a pandaren

Different flavors are okay, but sometimes the meal tastes best with the original sauce.

Gnome, it’s funny watching the tiny fella roll around and tank things 10 times bigger than it

My main monk is a Draenei. Cuz rising sun hoof kick to the face is great. Plus they were the bartender who got the pilot drunk the night before the draenei crashed on azeroth. So a net good really.

I’ve also had vulper and orc and like those too.

Vulpera is the superior monk race. The racials suck, but looking like a kung foo rat is unmatched.

Pandaren and Kul Titan.

They almost fell the same though.

Looks good on regular dwarf, but best on pandaren. Stocky types in general. Not bad on male human/orc either.

i tried it on undead and blood elf female first, since those were the two races i was playing at first. it just felt… weird. i know martial arts can be learned by anyone, so even those who are a bit on the skinny side can learn them well. but in game, it didn’t feel natural for either to fight as a monk, because blood elves are thinner in general so it doesn’t feel like there’s any power behind the strikes visually. and undead, well, i love them, my favorite race, but you can’t convince me an undead with their muscles being practically non-existent could deliver a powerful strike visually. i can let stuff like a warrior or death knight pass cause that’s them swinging a weapon made of metal that could still crush or cut, but delivering a deadly palm strike with those bony hands?

female human. with my mog on her she looks very monkish.

make camp is the best racial tho

This reminds me of the early days of legion. There was some elite Sea giant as part of a quest chain in Azsuna Or maybe it was a world quest, I forget exactly)

A gnome warrior was tanking it and then one of the abilities it used about made me die laughing. That ability was “punt”

:joy:

Return to Camp 2nd best
