Why did you choose your main?

Was it aesthetics, gameplay or something else?

I thought punching fantasy tropes in the face as a fat panda would be funny.

Druids fascinated me since Vanilla, Night Elves were my favorite faction in Warcraft III and I loved the Druid units. But when I played my Alliance Night Elf, the very first thing I was told by the Alliance community in Vanilla was to kill myself. So I rerolled a Tauren Druid and some level 60 was in the starting area handing out bags to new players.

He’s been my main ever since, I love this guy.

DKs were everywhere with me being a wrath baby. soon as my first toon hit 55, it was DK main; except in cataclysm where i mained this character in particular during pvp season 10

Meandro PvP videos.

I started this game as Paladin and hated it. Tried Warrior after that and got sick of my raid guild pushing me to off-tank. I gave in, moved to Horde and started a Rogue.

My fault for not looking up classes before I started, but it was early 05 and there was limited resources that detailed how each class would play end game.

Me: Trying WoW for the first time “I’ll pick this one because it’s the cutest and has the cutest outfit!” Chooses pink-haired Gnome Rogue. “Ow. Why am I always dead?”
WoW-wise friend: “Leveling a rogue is hard, yo.” (It was, then.) “Start with something easier.”
Me: “Ah a bear! It’s gonna eat me! No, wait! It’s a player! How can I be a bear?”
WoW-wise friend: That’s a Druid.
Me: goes to reroll “Ew, they can only be elves or cows. I guess I’ll be an elf.”
Friend: “Their forms are prettier anyway.”
Me. Plays Druid for awhile. “Eh, they are tougher than Rogues, but still kinda hard.”
Friend: “Have you considered Hunter?”
Me: “Gnomes can’t be hunters.”
Friend: “Hunters have pets.” ^.^
Me: “PETS? I’m in!” and then I picked Xialla because female Dwarf hunter with the braids was the cutest option. I regret nothing! ^.^

I had always actually played warrior types, but my brother already took a warrior in WoW so I picked a paladin thinking it was close, because Warcraft III.

used to be mage but i got tired of having to stop and eat after every fight so i switched to hunter, with a hunter pet theres very little you cant solo and thanks to the pets ability to tank and with mend pets OP healing why would anyone not main a hunter

Just trying to do things with every healer. Felt like I accomplished enough in raiding with resto druid and priest to say I’m good with them. Playing Classic as holy pally.

Friends came back in this expansion and I wanted to accomplish something in PvP as a shaman, but everyone already left. So now I don’t know what I goal to set with this guy.

I did an IQ test. Best decision I’ve made. Eliminated most options.

I played a Dk since Wrath because of a character I grew up with. Been maining with that class ever since.

Take a guess what that character is.

Why just hit someone with a hammer, when you can hit them with a LIGHTNING hammer?

I chose shaman for this xpac mainly because I never really put any time into the class outside leveling and wanted something I wasn’t bored with, and also because I felt like it was fitting for the Shadowlands theme.

I don’t need any fancy magic, just need to hit things with a giant mace.

…also condemn.

Started as a rogue in a private pvp server when I was a edgelord. (Yes he was a undead and his name was lolumad).

During a time on a pvp private server tho I’d come to play a ton of affliction lock and elemental shaman.

When I got my first job the first thing I did was play retails but noticed rogues wherent strong in pve and I kept dying in open world content. So I made a shaman.

Mained a pally for a long time after I got my first max boost and after a long period of playing every class to max and playing a bit of endgame I’m back to my shaman. Big meaty lava bursts are what I remember back in the day so I’m glad that’s kind of back.

They killed the playstyle of my dk. Then this character got all the titan forging items in BFA.

So I settled for this character after my original main was maliciously destroyed by blizzard.

I can’t believe I am saying it but got a little bored with my dk that I mained since WOTLK and always loved mages.

Just never took the time to be a little more serious about learning how to play one well and decided now was the time.

When I was a kid I would always pick a mage/wizzard whatever the magic class was in any rpg I played.
Not sure why it always attracted me.

Primary thing I planned on doing / am doing is PVP. And Fury is kind of :poop: right now, so I went Fire Mage which is the only spec / class I’ve enjoyed PVP-ing solo. Otherwise I solely PVP with friends. :slightly_smiling_face:

and no, I’m not playing Fire Mage because they’re “broken” I play them because they are very similar to Destro Lock which I used to main back in MoP.

Never forget Burning Embers :cry: :vulcan_salute:
