Long Story Short, Undead Mage or Orc Mage?
So I’m currently leveling an Orc Mage but i’m not too far into the leveling and I’m having second thoughts, which are mainly around looks and lore for an Orc Mage, as there aren’t many Orc Mages (If Any) in the lore, and also they don’t look the best imo, as I think Orcs should be a bulky Warrior looking class.
Then theres undead, a skinny race that would be perfect for a mage. The only problem is that I’m too in love with Orc’s to change
What do you guys think?
Blackrock orc is the best option.
I’m a big Undead booster, best starting zone too. The only reason I’m not playing them anymore is I know every inch of territory, and scrap of quest by heart.
If we’re only talking aesthetics then go Undead. They fit mage way better than orc does.
Orcs are my favorite for everything else though, so I feel your pain.
I too went down this road and got my orc mage to 110’ish and ended up paying the $25 to change him to undead.
An orc mage makes no sense … at all …
I’m also an orc fan. My DK is orc, monk is orc, Warrior is orc, warlock was orc for a looong time (recently switched him to troll for the haste racial) … I’m sure I have more orcs too. Those are just off the top of my head.
The only caster who should be an orc (in my opinion) is a warlock.
I don’t think the Orc racial is great for casters. You might be better off with the undead or even Mag’har Orc if you really want an Orc.
Shattered hand or Blackrock Orc.
Undead mage is cool and for good reason, but it’s super overdone.
Another point to this is how making a undead mage can tie in with lore so well, e.g you were a human mage before you died and were resurrected
Have you been Undead before?
I have once, but I only got upto past the starting zone
Undead ruin every transmog they wear. Go orc, go against the norm.

I just made an Orc mage. Thought it would be cool cause I don’t remember seeing too many of them around when I used to play. Been away from game for a couple years and OMG THE ORCS CAN HAVE STRAIGHT BACKS. I’m having a blast so far and I think he looks pretty cool being against the norm and all that. I say go for it!
