Tauren Rogues: A Mistake In the Making

[Bilz-wyrmrest-accord]

I’ve said it a million times before but I’ll say it again: tauren rogues exist in the lore and have for over a decade. Grimtotem have rogues. They also have warlocks just in case you decide to complain when those are inevitably released.

Hey now! Where’s the threads about Draenei rogues not making sense/mistakes? The males are just as beefier as male and female tauren!

Realism - At some point we need to maintain some realism for players suspension of disbelief. I know what you’re thinking ‘oh god he’s going to bring up the hooves’. No, anyone with eyes can see satyrs stealthing around since the RTS. The problem with tauren rogues not making sense is they have two toe fingers on each hand. They can’t properly grip a dagger like that. Their going to be back stabbing and disarming themselves every other stab.

They can’t hold a dagger but they can hold a sword the size of a buick?

lol wut?

Furries – Okay, I’ll say it because it needs to be said. Taurens opened the furry floodgates and look at where that has gotten us. We are drowning in furry degeneracy. The rogue order hall can at least be one last bastion against the flood.

The irony that the OP is a Pandaren is not lost on anyone here…

The title is a flop. You could have said
A Moosteak in the milking.

10 times better.

I know that the current devs don’t care about maintaining the classic feel of this game, but I had to put a pa- foot down and stand up for what is right. Some class restrictions are in place for a reason and I can’t stop this change from being implemented but I can put ‘No lactose rogues’ in my group finder posts and you should too.

There’s nothing sneaky about a Tauren rogue but it is hilarious! Also if you have Thunderfury as an Outlaw Tauren rogue.

[Healcopter-moon-guard]

I m making a Tauren rogue as soon as they are available. How dare you shame fat body types for not being able to stealth and also you forget you can silence hooves with shoes

[Zeraveth-earthen-ring]

Ready for my Hooved Rogue.

[Kenaikoda-aggramar]

You considered it really being meant for combat rogues, much like undead/shadow priests? Guerilla light armored warriors with dual tomohawks and pelts god I can’t wait. If you play a Tauren subtlety/assassination rogue you should have your account disabled tho.

Here’s to hoping Blizzard doesn’t finally put WoW out to pasture with the next Expansion.

Where do you think all the Tauren rogues were hiding?

[Zèlina-aerie-peak]

Ah yes, Divine Mechnostriders

Draenei can be rogues because they are like demons and demons are very rogue like. Also female Draenei are attractive in an unconventional way, so they get a pass.

Excellent analysis. A bull in a china store. NO.

That’s because those swords as big as a buick are two handers. 2 fingers on each hand with two hands. 2x2=4

Rogues dual wield daggers so that only leaves 2 fingers for each dagger. Tauren rogues don’t even make sense mathematically.

[Snuggywuggy-vashj]

don’t care. taurens have been rogues ever since hunters got camoflague

What? Fury warriors use two handers in one hand lol.

[Arthurie-bleeding-hollow]

That’s just big dairy propaganda.

Just wait until you learn Tauren Druid, Shaman, and Priest all use daggers.

Oh, and Tauren hunters used to dual wield daggers.
