What race do you NEED to play and why do you choose it?

I play them all, but since I created a Kul Tiran, I really like them. I love both the Mechagnome and Vulpera racials. but this expansion I’m starting to realize the drawback of having a short melee race, especially when all the other mobs are so tall.

Still haven’t created a LFD, M-orc (I can’t type Morc with a straight face), or Ztroll, but that’s mostly because I’ve neglected my Horde chars this expansion.

Tauren, i race changed to vulpera for awhile for the free extra teleport anywhere and extra bag space but it felt wrong, this was my first toon I wasn’t even 100% on changing in first place after playing a bit I knew it was mistake.

People slag me a lot for having Blood Elves, but I simply enjoy their aesthetic, along with their culture & personalities. I love the lore of them too, and the journey they’ve taken. :slight_smile:

Draenei

For the waggle!

Night Elf was easy for a warcraft 3 NE player :upside_down_face:

Ogre DK.

Please Blizzard :pleading_face:

Shadowmeld is really an absolute quality of life improvement that made it difficult for me to play anything else for the longest time.

That said, I just switched this guy from a Draenei to a Vulpera, and the extra hearth is AMAAAZZZIIIIIING. I don’t know if I’d ever play another Horde race.

Dwarf to be honest. Dark Iron’s are my favorite of the Dwarf clans, so that’s what I play. But all Dwarves are my favorite.

I haven’t tried enhance as a short race yet, but having just switched to Vulpera as an ele/resto, I feel like I get targeted way less than I did as a giant beefcake spacegoat.

Personally Tuskarr, I dream of one day that being playable.

But I’d take anything new, Sethrak, Ogres… keep more races coming!

any tbh i don’t have a huge preference i mostly pick based on racials/min maxing for w.e. i plan to do but recently i pick based off class im gonna play and race lore based on said class.

like the shaman i picked orc cause they are the OG shamans if i recall correctly but i could go tauren as well but of the 2 based off racials i prefer orc racials and of the 2 i like orc looks more. if druid i’d go tauren

My mains are generally Draenei. Kinda just identify as one now after all these years. Feels weird to not be one.

BUT
My Gnome is pure fun. Gnome just feels free from the ‘srs mode’ of everything else and can be a lot more… bouncy.
Need that every now and then in this game.

Nightborne baby. We might not have many customizations but I’m loyal. Their story is so interesting and Suramar is the most gorgeous city in all of WoW. I’ve always had an affinity with races that were more “magic” oriented. The mailbox is also pretty useful, I just wish I could share it with other people.

NELF. We are so heckin’ cute and valid.

Races that I would not play: Dwarves, Orcs, Pandaren, and Trolls.

Races that should be thrown out of the game: BELFs, Draenei, Worgen, Vulpera

Undead. We’re metal AF.

Mag Orc warrior. As soon as I heard how absolutely obnoxious the vocals during charge etc were, I knew this was my bag.

Vulpera.

They’re so adorable.

They’re also way more “Hero” material than anything the Horde has.

But mostly they’re adorable.
