Worgen and Goblin Monks - New Starting Zone Experience

With the new starting zone, its a complete travesty that monk has not been opened to Worgen and Goblins.

They are no longer tied to their time-locked introductions.

If you pick a goblin monk or worgen, you simply MUST do the new starting zone experience.

Make it happen please…

Look how cute this Goblin is.

Imagine how much cuter it would be as a Monk instead. If they made Monks available to Goblins and made guilds cross-faction, I’d swap my panda to it.
Worgen would be pretty cool too, though.

I’d change the title to draw more attention to Wrogen and Goblin monks but you have my vote 100%

nothing says inner peace like goblins and worgen :clown_face:

Considering worgen solve their issues by lvl 7…yes

yeah… nothing says “resolved issues” like reflexively and irreversably turning into a giant monster when a harmless boar starts bumping into your leg

Except they don’t…they control the change
That’s the whole point of the ritual…did you even quest? The worgen curse is a generational hiccup and none of them struggle with it anymore because the night elves helped them not lose their minds.

This guy confuses game balance with lore.

In lore the change to worgen is because a 7 foot werewolf is stronger than 4 humans. But in game balance we have to be the same… because it’s a game and you can’t have race that is 4x as strong as the other races without it being unbalanced.

In game lore Worgens are at peace. In game lore for heritage worgen set again reaffirms this. In book lore in “wolfheart” worgens to even be considered for joining the alliance spent the entire book showing they are 100% in control of the beast side and change at will. That is literally to point of the entire novel with a side element of Varian accepting his son is a priest not a warrior.

Best to just put him on ignore.

anything smart to say about goblins?

This is purely a game mechanic.

Various Worgen can be seen fighting in non Worgen form in game. Most notable being Greymane and Darius Crowley. As said above the books go into even more detail about this.

Besides the fact there is already goblin monk npc upstairs at the inn/bar in the monk order hall.

And nothing really prevents goblins from being monks.

That is one very lewd-able gobbo.

Thank you, I love her and I hope she will one day be a Monk on my character log-in list, I also hope cross-faction guilds are out at the same point.

Sort of like how nothing says “I am making an intelligent response”, by repeating the phrase “Nothing says” as the beginning portion of their statement and doing so repeatedly, in the same thread. :clown_face:

They could make the goblin monk trainers plays on the cobra kai sensei’s. Everything should be a cobra kai pun. Just that sleezy car salesman take your money here’s your black belt kinda instructor.

If you have ever trained in martial arts IRL you know who I am talking about and if you don’t know which dojo it was, then it was probable the one you where contracted too (because they always require contracts in those schools), some blackbelt club pay for a year get a blackbelt kinda style. Hate to say but most turn out to be Taekwondo or WingChun. Blackbelt factories.

Now I want Goblin and Worgen monks even more.

You are absolutely, unequivocally NOT an observant man, are you? Worgens have had inner peace since launch day of Cataclysm, since the tutorial zone at that. And goblins? They love their Pandaren food, have the boxes all over the place in their starting zone so they clearly have had contact with Pandaren long before it was a common thing. And in Legion we have a goblin monk just chilling out playing majong with the pandas in the Monk order hall.

TL;Dr: Pandaren are enthused to teach the Ways of the Monk to literally anyone and anything.

Eh, I personally think Worgen would look really silly doing the spinning crane kick, etc. I think draenei look dumb as monks too, but that’s only my opinion.
