Like, based in lore, characters that represent certain classes, etc.
Which class is the silliest, most offbeat?
Like evokers are super soldiers, I’d imagine they’re very militaristic, no funny business, rough and gruff.
Paladins I’d imagine are also super serious given what they do.
So what class is the LEAST serious (based on lore, and characters representing each class)? I skipped several expansions so I’m not sure, but I’m leaning towards rogue or mage.
I would have to say a very happy Death Knight. Death Knights are known to be the biggest emo drips ever. Until you find them happy and ripping you apart limb by limb in ear boggling delight.
… yikes. Maybe not.
But if they’re not happy in that moment, I’d say mage. Nothing has a more cartoonish approach when you can polymorph most creatures into a pig or duck.
Rogues. Nothing about them is “Rogue-ish” except for the poison use.
Outlaw Rogues are especially ridiculous. They pull a pistol out of their rear ends for a couple of abilities. They crap out gigantic magic dice that decide whether or not they’ll hit harder… or not. They can throw a huge hook at the ground and pull themselves to it. But only on the ground, not at a wall or anything else. Sometimes not even the floor. Sometimes they can’t even throw a giant metal hook at the ground because they’ll miss the floor.
Survival Hunters are a close second. They throw bombs like Looney Toon characters. And they throw them at close range where they’d most likely get hit with as much of the blast as the enemy they chucked the giant cartoon cannonball with a fuse on it at. And to top it all off, they fight in melee range, but have no idea how to use normal sized swords or other normal sized weapons. They can only use overly large weapons, but only one of them at a time. And they don’t gain extra melee range by using them. They can’t stand outside of an enemy’s attack range and poke them. No, they have to walk right up to a dude and then jam the giant spear into them.
If forced to pick one that was the closest, I’d guess Brewmaster Monk just because the whole drunken master thing kind of has a bit of goofiness to it. And because they have been left in a state where choosing to play one is just silly.
