Due to the great posts here I’ve been convinced of the legitimacy of Worgen Death Knights. Thank you all for the wonderful conversation.
I don’t understand what you’re saying/asking.
If you don’t like Worgen DKs, don’t make one.
If you don’t think they should be in WoW, I think it’s way too late for that discussion.
I like worgen dks. They’re undead werewolves! It’s like the Scourge Plague mixed with Rabies.
Plus I like to imagine them gnawing on the bones of their minions when no one is paying attention.

worgo is chewing on his minion’s leg
“boss, this is not in my contract…”
“YOU HAVE NO CONTRACT” goes back to chewing

Yea sorry, I sometimes have difficulty conveying my intent.
I’ve been trying to find a class for the Worgen but just about every other race (especially Night elves) can possibly do it better. It’s been a bit of a pain.
Warriors - While I can see them being superb warriors a part of me really wants a Dwarf for that “Mountain King” theme
Rogues - While a shadowy cursed race I find the Night elf discipline works much better plus that increase in stealth speed and dodge.
Hunters - While their new forms grant them improved tracking capability it feels a waste to have a Werewolf stick to the back firing pot shots. Plus a Night elf or Dwarf feels much better thematically with these roles.
Druid - The Armor sets work really well with Worgen but robes tend to be problematic with the Running Wild racial “mount” plus Night elves are the original Druid and you simply can’t beat the original.
i think rogues work best because you feel like a predator stalking your prey
Ya but them Night elf Ninja flips…
If it were me, I’d focus first on a class I enjoy playing, THEN worry about a race that fits it. After all, class has a far greater impact on gameplay than race.
Edit: Also, worgen flip! Backwards! It’s really strange, but they do it.

worgen men have flips too
we do backflips
I practically play them all really.
For the record, my highest level worgen (in fact, my highest level Ally toon) is a worgen warrior. While armor and weapons seem out of place for a werewolf, the fact that their resource is “Rage” feels so very right.
I’m not a fan of the Worgen Back flip, I mean it works incredibly well with Hunter’s Disengage but that’s about it. Always feels awkward when you’re running forward and go to jumping then do this backflip going forward.
i guess, i just think that for worgen rogue is the best class because you feel like a predator.
I hear ya, course then there are the combat animations to consider. Daggers are alright with Worgen but one-handers like swords, axe and maces? There’s just something about it, like the Worgen is taking a swing with his claws with a weapon in hand or something.
Ya know what, it’s too soon to call it quits, I’ll give Worgen Warrior a shot and see what happens. If I like it I could always change my Dwarf to Hunter. Mountaineer is also a Dwarven Theme.
Sorry about this post. Sometimes my brain gets ahead of itself. Shouldn’t have mode this topic.
Don’t forget Survival hunters are melee focused, if you don’t like the idea of a shooty-worgen. There’s still a little bit of shooting, but think of it as the “human” side getting in on the fight instead of leaving it all to the “wolf”.
Don’t like admitting it but Worgen Racials really fit Death Knight thematically as well. Aberration, Viciousness, Darkflight.
Also fit Rogue as well, well maybe not Aberration. from a name point of view but Shadow and Nature resist, Rogue’s Shadow and Poison (nature)
I do think it’s funny that in Silverpine quests the people there were being infected by the Worgen curse because it made it so they couldn’t be raised in undeath. But then you have Worgen Death Knights for some reason. It’s just inconsistent.
That’s exactly it, Airc you’ve hit it right on the head. I know they try to explain it away that the Lich King is directly raising his Death Knights and he is much stronger then the Plague’s thing but gah.
i dont think death knights are the result of the plague its the lich king almost sharing a portion of his power to forge the death knight

As mentioned, Worgen DKs are possible due to taking the direct approach with Necromancy instead of using the plague. A similar method created the Crypt Fiends from the mummies of Nerubians, who were immune to the plague as well.
