Why are Dark Iron Dwarves so underplayed?

In all the fantasy ttrpgs and video games, I never play short races. If anything I play humans more than not because im a human supremecist and i hate all the short races, in particular gnomes.

Shaman fits really well for a Dark Iron and so does a hunter. Could go BM, plenty of pets that fit the fire theme, or MM and use a rifle. Mog to heavier looking armor options since they look good on a dwarf.


Dwarves will always be my favorite fantasy race, so I’m a little biased in my love for them. They are one of the reasons I got into WoW in the first place. :smiley: While I really like Dark Iron Dwarves I feel a little let down by the beard options. You can’t pick and chose which mustache and beard you want. I’m guessing that has to do with the special lighting effect they have. Maybe if we are lucky they will change that. Not sure if they would ever give us the regular non lit beard option if that’s not possible. It wouldn’t be out of place tbh since the majority of Dark Iron dwarf NPCs are probably still using the old colorations.

Yes there are. I once made a DID Hunter for the sole purpose of collecting only fire pets but I just have way too many alts and they went into the delete pile.

That’s a fun idea. :smiley: Totally understand the problem of too many alts. For the longest time my problem was I only focused on one character. I’ve always been that way. Focus on one game, character, etc… I just have a hard time focusing on more than one thing. lol

I think I used the word focus enough. :sweat_smile:

Same frame as Dwarves. Same voice as Dwarves. The Alliance is up to their Khaz Modan in Dwarves!!!

The fact that we have lightforged draenei death knights means lore is irrelevant.

I’m gonna say it ‘Carpet. I’m truly gonna say it and say it without shame!

I don’t care about lore. I want more Druids. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I love them but switched from alliance to horde, no reason to be alliance these days IMO. The biggest reason is that I just play classic these days.

Well this takes a couple days now, even going slow. Not too bad.

A lot of the Alliance players dislike “evil” races…

They are very silly indeed, if anything I hope the other alliance races get a little more grey, too.

The travel form, flight form, and aquatic form of the gnome druid is the duck.

We need this.

I would play a dwarf. Either flavor but I just can’t get past the animations.

I want my aquatic duck form to be orange. I never seen an orange duck before. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

For reals though, I want it to be a clever decoy with a flag saying, ‘Not a decoy’ to throw people off.

I just faction changed my main to a DID. I’m so excited to have all the wormholes plus the mole machine.

Have fun walking, elves.

Oh that would be hilarious, mechagnome druid forms could be like a cat robot or bear robot with their same mechagnome head.

Lack of customisation doesn’t help. They have interesting/fun lore. I have 1.
