We already have some customizations for dwarves to make them look like a Wildhammer, but I think the best dwarf faction needs some love. Dark Irons have their own Allied Race, I think Wildhammer should be one (and get a sweet heritage armor out of it).
Wildhammer should be the Allied race Alliance are getting with TWW, and the Horde should be getting Ogres…
Rehashing the Three Hammers conflicts over again and giving us that race instead of the last one of the three we’ve been asking for is kinda terrible.
I don’t mind folk who wanted Earthen. But why the heck is the most important of the three dwarven clans in WoW’s history being relegated to customizations?
And don’t get me started on the Frostborn who also should have come before a random rehash of the Dwarves…
Yes they should have been made an Allied Race since their just as unique as Dark Irons. And if they wanted them to be at least a little different from the Bronzebeards and Dark Irons, they could have made them the only dwarves that couldn’t be warlocks or paladins by giving some thin lore excuse. (Before of course they announced every race would be able to play every class.)
And they would have already had one of the best racial abilities. Their famous stormhammers that players could chuck at their enemies like they were Thor.
While fair enough that everyone should have an opinion, I just don’t see it making the community happy. Should just be a customization but with more exposure on wildhammer characters.
They’re already barber options for Ironforge dwarves, so I have no faith that Blizzard would take the option away from existing dwarf characters just to make a whole “new” race out of them. They also announced Titanforged proto-dwarves not too long ago and people are still complaining about getting them over sethrak, the new humanoid nerubians, or really anything else, so I highly doubt the community at large is hurting for more dwarf content.
Doesn’t really matter since that’s not at all important.
Buut they’re taller, leaner and supposedly tanner.
They also should have their Gryphon affinity since they’re the only reason the Alliance has any at all, and they need their Stormhammers that every single one regardless of class has.
They’re also the only reason the Alliance survived the 2nd War with dragons in the air and joined the Alliance long before the dwarves of Ironforge joined.
