I reckon Korrsica nailed it 100%

For the rest:
Lightforged Draenei Paladin
Void Elf Mage (umbric but could be Hunter based off alleria)
Kul Tiran Warrior or Tidesage Shaman (likely a ‘soldier’ druid second)
Mechagnome - Unsure really. Is any class iconic for them?

Mag’har Warrior
Nightborne Mage
Zandalari Priest or Warrior (loa worship and fierce guards).
Vulpera - likely Hunter, probably survival.

They were mages in WC3. In WoW they’re like a cross between shaman and shadow priest somehow.

Jaina was a Mage, her father was more a warrior or at the very least a Paladin using Paladin abilities.

11

Ty then I’ll stick with shaman :stuck_out_tongue:

Not going to do allied races but here’s mine.

Alliance:

  • Human Paladin. (Death Knight is also up there because of Arthas)
  • Dwarf Hunter. (Like in the vanilla cinematic)
  • Night Elf Druid.
  • Gnome Mage. (Because of their intellect)
  • Draenei Paladin/Priest. (Because of Maraad in the TBC cinematic and Velen in game)
  • Worgen Rogue/Warrior. (Is Genn a rogue? Maybe he’s a warrior, idk)

Neutral

  • Pandaren Monk. (DUUUH)
  • Dracthyr Evoker. (Also DUUUH)

Horde:

  • Orc Warrior/Shaman. (Hard choice!)
  • Undead Warlock. (That vanilla cinematic though)
  • Tauren Shaman. (Again…vanilla cinematic and totems, very WC3)
  • Troll Rogue. (Closest thing they have to shadowhunters)
  • Blood Elf Mage/Warlock. (Because of Kael)
  • Goblin Rogue. (Because they’re morally gray and untrustworthy, mostly)

I’d say Genn is more a Warrior. If there was one moment he could be considered a rogue it’d probably be in Stormheim where he ambushed Sylvanas. But more often then not he’s an in your face fighter.

Don’t have an opinion of the others.

I would play a worgen in a heartbeat if they could just melee with their bare claws.

16

Ehh I don’t think one big name means the entire race is represented by whatever class that big name is.

This is just my opinion and for the sake of discussion but I think it’s based on what class the majority of that race gravitates to.
