Warlock = Mastery of Contracts; tricking Demons into life long servitude with a splash of Better Call Saul / Used Car lot Salesman type of charisma.
Mage = Similar to a gnome Book Worm, but figuring around the ethics to make gold with the power of Arcane (Your not so friendly Bill Nye, or Dr. Rusty Venture).
Priest = Televangelist.
Warrior = Club Owner / Bouncer / Loan Shark
Rogue = Trafficker / Dealer
Shaman = Tim Curry level Eco Villain from Captain Planet, using technology, ancestorial knowledge and charisma and air tight contracts to trick the elements into being a fuel / power source.
Death Knight = Mechanic/Auto/Chop Shop Owner-Operator resurrected.
Hunter = World Renown Hit man to front line goon armed with boomsticks or pokey on a broom stick.
I like a Goblin rogue especially for the stealth animation. Goblin Warlock for that Durotar NPC Warlock. And it might be difficult based on what transmog is available, but you could definitely make yourself a Goblin Squig Herder with the cragmaws from BFA.
And not to mention, Goblins, no matter how humbling Blizz has tried to make them. They all practice extortion to some level of degree.
To your bit about; Why Study when you can use fel… Or you force someone weaker to study for you and give you all the answers easily works as well lol.
From Gallywix using it to get to where he is at, Gazlow to force non union workers into his union to ensure he has enough fodder/members for when things get hairy, to the Gob Squad cycling through “new recruits” to rival Cartels, to, yes, even the goblin player.
Also, it is sad that there really isn’t a whole lot of goblin weapons compared to gnomes/mecha gnomes and dwarves.
Sure a tauren, or daenei guard with their large maces/swords.axes are intimidating, but iirc lorebwise, Goblin Bruisers are armed with a massive wrench with rockets that are supposed to explode on contact welded to them and a piston/gear lever where the wrench section crushes limbs. That would be terrifying, given that goblins breed like rodents, so you know it’s not a handful of bruisers, it a small army of them in that one location armed with those wrench-rocket maces.
I made myself a hunter because they’re my favorite class. Beyond that, I like the aesthetic of the big guns and explosions. My Goblin is a BM because he enjoys animals. He works with them because they make his job easier and in turn, make more reward money.
I thought Garrosh and the Iron Horde were using goblin designed weapons.
Pauli Rocketspark is the new head of the Blackfuse Company following Helix Blackfuse’s demise in Orgrimmar. Remaining true to his company’s patron, Garrosh Hellscream, Rocketspark was the one responsible for the construction of numerous technological inventions destined to be used in the Iron Horde’s arsenal, including the armored train equipped with a powerful railgun, Grimrail.
Well, I should of been more clear lol. The players have access to a mere handful of true goblin designed weapons and items versus mecha/gnome and dwarves.
Don’t really see SoO and WoD “designs” really close enough when BFA had a bit more options but not really since Goblins arrived in Cata. Especially since Bilgewater Cartel is supposed to the the Arms dealer of the horde, should be a wide variety laying out to choose from lol.
Not sure where Warlock come from, but definitely Rogue 100%.
They love money and engineering–Rogue pickpockets and use gadgets to steal or whatever they’re doing.
Warlocks use Fel magic and contracts, which I guess why people think of Warlocks, but it’s not the same. What do they gain in return? Power? Goblins are greedy mofos than power-hungry.
We do need more goblin weapons. For those who don’t know the difference, gnomish weapons seem like they shouldn’t work because of absurdity. Goblin weapons look like they shouldn’t work because they are too dangerous.
The chansaw swords are a good idea, but sadly use too much of the gnome tech look and coloring.
Monk can be a fun fit. A couple options I play around with:
Lifestyle guru that sells a version of “simple living” that requires you buy her meditation mats, minimalist furniture, all-natural supplements, and incense that is guaranteed to mimic the effects of kaja’mite! If you are an engineer, you can sell devices that detect if someone’s chakras are aligned (and then sell the 10-step plan to fix 'em!).
Extreme capitalist that become so singularly focused on profits that she has transcended the self and is able to see the ebb and flow of the markets as if it were a natural process. After all, “to be enlightened is to be one with the markets.”
