A blog about being casual, and sometimes about how good orcs look in plate.
Agonizing over Faction Change
Posted 10-05-2009 at 09:40 AM by Corisa
*Orcs* are hot in plate. The title of my blog and also the secondary reason for making an orc warrior in the first place! Sure, they may be the ultimate warrior race but damn do they look good in heavy armor.
My warrior saw an early retirement that I regret. As much fun as swapping to my balance turned kitty druid to level from 70 was, it just doesn't match playing my warrior.
So some friends of mine came back to WoW with Cataclysm's announcement, and I would love to play with them again... Problem being, they are all alliance. I enjoy playing my druid - but not enough to continue with her as a main. I need my warrior.
Yay for faction change! I guess...
Gnome and Draenei were immediately counted out. I just don't like the way they look. Honestly, what else matters? With Cataclysm coming, there is the looming possibility of racials being overhauled... So I could care less about them. Human, Dwarf and Night Elf all looked pretty cool, but I can't decide. I think I can further round it down to Dwarf vs. Night Elf.
Oh yeah, speaking of Cataclysm, I was looking forward to a Goblin warrior SO much... But they probably won't be open to race changes for a while. I mean, I could go try Alliance for a while, kill the 60 day cooldown and eventually come back?
BRB, leveling a warrior of almost every race.

Human Female looks good and has great racials. Night Elf Female looks good and has great racials.
Dwarf is the humor option.Posted 10-05-2009 at 01:00 PM by Ciderhelm

Human female, imo!Posted 10-05-2009 at 01:39 PM by Ariedan - For alliance I have always liked humans as warriors or other heavy armor classes. Never played a female though, but their armor looks sexy. (bikini mail ftw) :P

My vote is human female. Extra fear/stun/cc break, free expertise, etc.
Dwarf female DKs have a racial that lets them get all tanking gear on days that Criss can't come to a raid.Quote:Originally Posted by Ciderhelm

True story.Posted 10-05-2009 at 02:34 PM by Alent - If you are going alliance, I'd go human. I love the racials and I love the human race. Don't go night elf, everyone is a night elf... : /

Dwarf being the humor option has a lot of appeal, I won't lie. It looks like human female weapons are insanely oversized, which is weird... but I'm sure I could get over it. Night Elves have a great racial, but that could very well change in a couple months.
I should just go with the humor option or flip a coin on the other two.Posted 10-05-2009 at 04:27 PM by Corisa - I actually rolled a Gnome Warrior on another server to play with R/L friends. It was fun to watch all these big tall people having to hide behind a little tiny Gnome, and being hidden in a mobs srsly good times :-). But if your doing it for serious raids, Human females FTW, for the previous reasons stated above

Updated 10-06-2009 at 11:38 AM by Todar (spelling) - Human is the best Alliance race, I think. It is nothing compared to Orcs though. Oh my god Orcs look sweet. Actually, that is the whole reason I started WoW. Now every single character of mine is Orc.
Posted 10-06-2009 at 03:08 PM by Ferag - there is nothing to consider go dwarf or stay horde

Ahhh, why no Draenei love? Self heal, 1% to hit party buff, and the lovely waggle.Posted 10-06-2009 at 04:29 PM by Turkson - but they don't get tank loot on weeks that Criss misses raids!Quote:Originally Posted by Turkson Ahhh, why no Draenei love?

Edit: wait a minute. *looks at his own heart of iron* YES WE DO!
