Tauren Rogues: A Mistake In the Making

Lore… It doesn’t stop ANYONE from being sneaky, no one. Its literally a Warrior that only ever focuses on stealth and aligns with the darkness to ensure their stealthiness. If anything, its a complimentary existence that Tauren Feral Druids would allow (If one bothers to view stealth that way) one to just wield daggers and go hoofing silently.

Realism, the fact that they “Can’t hold a dagger properly” is a big finger excuse to think its not possible. Look at what Legion did… They FORCED any druid to use daggers. And for their size, even swords that may as well be daggers to them. Handling a weapon is NOT the issue here… If anything, its more terrifying that a tauren is going to be wielding a dagger and with muscles they have naturally, those daggers are going right through your entire body. They may as well just punch you a new orifice anywhere on your body.

Noise is obvious not going to be a issue… It may be a poor take that Assassin’s Creed makes a example that noise and blending in is a good way to go about stealthing for tauren like any other race but the possibility is there, just don’t dress in iconic, obvious clothes…

Hooves, its clear its very possible for ANY race to be sneaky, hooves or not. In some branches of military IRL have to learn to be quiet, which may be a another poor comparison to a race who’s not able to wear boots but you forget to realize that this is a fantasy game, rogues in this universe are more than just pure physical stabbers, which rolls back to their alignment to the need of using darkness, it can very well make their steps extremely quiet, which is likely why it works for them as any other.

Taurens talking to much? Well… That’s a individual basis and empty counterpoint… They are social and accepting race as close to Dwarves surely but it doesn’t translate that they don’t shut up for stealth to work…

Poison brewing is about as natural to them as it is for them to know they can avoid what is good for them and what isn’t. And surely they can figure out what will certainly be stabbed into you (Or punched) than being mistaken that for paste or energy drinks.

And of course, your Furry slandering… You’re so late to the party. And imagine WoW being so dreadfully boring that any race we have is only humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and everything that is all just skin, having some sort of health condition that they need a particular need to fuel their crippling addiction. We already have enough humans, we already have enough elves, dwarves, smaller folk… Grow up and accept w/e creativity that gets put into the game. You may as well play New World if anything that has fur or scale is that debilitating to you. Also, you’re a panda… Losing all credit on that arguement.

Tell me you’ve never been around irl hoved animals without telling me.

Cows are so fuggin’ sneaky irl, so that’s completely off kilter.

Dude, what bell ringing even happens at Thunderbluff, I use that as my trade hub cause Org is ugly, and the only major sounds there are creaking of wood/mills in the wind, ambient music, and the bwomp of the drum to tell what time it is

Yet, the heavy plate wearing Tauren are fine?

Yet you are the one making a disparaging forum thread, and honestly, you pandaren are always hungry since you consider a half ton of fish a single meal, so that grumbling belly since it was 5 minutes since your last snack probably ‘talks’ more

They also don’t climb bluffs, build entire civilizations or have political power of some sort.

The Lore argument stopped being a thing when taurens could be be Palladins.

I’m not so sure about that. I think having some class race combos for flavor or even out right ironic ones for humor are okay; Cow paladin, Dreanei Shadow Priest, Fat human shaman, Gnome anything.

But rogues are totally different. They’re a serious class they don’t belong on a race that doesn’t fit.

Rogues are not special. They don’t get special treatment. You say that it’s okay for race combos for flavor or ironic humor is okay. Tauren rogues are just that, ironic humor. Rogues are no more serious than any other class. Maybe to you, a panda rogue (which is ironic that tauren rogues are an issue), but objectively speaking, it fits your criteria for flavor/ironic race/class combos.

If my crab pet can hold a knife in its claws a Tauren should be able to hold a dagger.

Tauren aren’t fat! We are himbos we are big buff cute derps with nothing between our horns and a compulsion to non-stop jump on our Muppet feet like hyper active kids who ate coffee soaked candy.

Don’t lie! The moment we log on as tauren we jump as soon as and as much as we can whenever we can.

Being a tauren mage is gonna be very hard…

Bahahaha my new HM Tauren rogue…

Ok but we want human and blood elf and maybe even undead shamans so…

my tauren rogue, MooStabby, would like word of disagreement with you here!

It’s called no horseshoes. Hooves are designed to cushion impact. Cows are surprisingly stealthy out in the field.

So very true. The time my sister and I decided to play bullfighting with an actual bull at my grandparent’s farm. We couldn’t find him, so wandered around looking for him. He found us. If he hadn’t snorted he’d have probably gotten one of us.

Lesson learned…bulls aren’t very nice and don’t take kindly to someone in their field.

Hey who let you in here?

I am dying.

The reason we have Tauren rogues is because they already had a stealth animation, and it would take little work to complete the project.

Same reason we don’t have new druids, because it would be a huge art project.

Grimtotem already had rogues, but someone does not seem to pay attention to them.

Also, free the Highmountain Tauren warlocks of the Blood totem tribe.

OP you do realize that Rogues utilize Shadow Magic, right?

Also you just throw individualism out the window. I can’t believe Tauren Rogues would be such a hot topic.
