Want to the play class that you like best? I’ll start. I watched the Wrathgate cinematic and knew that I wanted to main warrior the second I saw Dranosh Saurfang cleave 3 of those blue giants and finish them in one move.

It didn’t make me want to play it (as I already was), but it did reinforce my love for warlock.

I started off wanting a pet class, and ended up settling on undead Warlock before I really connected any of the cinematics to actual classes. I like how the one in the original WoW cinematic comes back in the TBC one, but with the PVP gear, and smokes some murlocs.
These days, I play all of the races, and all of the classes, to some level, but I always run my Undead Warlock through first.

Can’t really think of any off hand…I mean, am I going to say sylvannas or her squeeze, the most hated of them all. That’ll impress everyone. lol
No, really I started in vanilla and just loved the hunter. I’m sure there are plenty someone could post that would really impress me, but in end I will always just love what I do without any of their inspiration.

I must say if I wasn’t already a Warlock since day one, the cinematic where Gul’dan disenchants Varian would have made me roll Warlock instantly.
I hate what he did. I love the way he did it

wow classic cinematic, I wanted to be a female that could shape shift into a panther (I made a fem night elf druid ^^)

This isn’t actually a bad one, and that NE flipping into a panther was so cool. But I also think of the dwarf with his pet bear, giving him that nod, “let’s do this.”
Good pick!

My main is a Night Elf and I have loved them since the start. However, the Draenei, despite only having one at max level, have such deep cinematics.
The Shadowmoon Valley’s cinematic is a masterpiece. And the cinematic where Velen is escaping from Argus and Kil’Jaeden is calling him traitor.
Or the cinematic where Maraad sacrifices himself and the combination between Yrel and Durotan.
Blizzard knows how to do Draenei cinematics. They are heartfelt in my opinion.

Hmm. The cinematics didn’t really make me wanna play warlock. I wanted to play warlock after seeing one in the black / red BC raid tier armor on their dreadsteed.
The BC one where Maraad buffs himself with a libram and then starts crushing Orcs with the Hammer of the Naaru and has blood smeared on his face with that cool grin. I’m not an Alliance main but I would make a Draenei Paladin in a heartbeat, they have some of the best mogs out there. I just wish they used blue Light like the lore stated they did on Argus. That would be cool.

What a coincidence! I picked death knight when I saw Arthas one-shot Dranosh immediately afterwards!

You have to admit, it was a death scene worthy of Sean Bean…
The Wrath of the Lich King trailer
I loved watching the warlock summon those infernals in the original launch trailer. Loved my vanilla warlock. disappointed I could not summon multiple infernals…
Not specifically from WoW cinematics, but I always wanted to be like Khadgar in this one:

I mean, he obliterated the Dark Portal with a single spell, what could be more cool than that?
The original Vanilla marketing trailer. It is the reason that I ended up making this character.
