Looking for help in my choices.....
Looking for help in my choices.....
As I mentioned other in the other forum I'm new to WoW and after experimenting have decided to role a hunter as my main when I return home from my work trip. This toon will be my one and only until I reach level cap with it so at least I've done it once
I'm looking for help choosing my race. Racials don't effect me too much as I'm not a perfectionist looking for that little extra DPS I'm just a casual gamer in it for fun.
I'm sticking with Alliance as I've saved up quite abit of gold on that side and don't want to waste it.
With that in mind my choices have been narrowed down to nelf, worgen or draenei and am looking for your help.
I would like to see screenshots of the different races at high level (both male and female) and things like on mounts etc as I will need to be happy with my toons looks if I'm to play for a long time. So if you could rake your ss archives I would love the help and your opinions.
Thanks all
Sticks
Re: Looking for help in my choices.....
But yea Dwarves look pretty sweet as hunters and they have Beards of Power! O_O The questing zone isn't too bad, they've got awesome voices and a sweet dance. Also being drunk doesn't effect their aim lol and they're always drunk! haha Or go Draenei, you can use your tentacles to help aim lol.

Re: Looking for help in my choices.....
I'd like to try draenei as I've never played one and have done all other starting zones but just not sure I can deal with hooves and tenticals lol.
The commoness of nelfs is off putting and the male worgen walk puts me off too so I'm at an impass. I do like dwarfs but want to use a bow or cross bow really as the gun sound is annoying and I've heard that there aren't any really good pve guns.
I know I can mod sound so they are still and option, are engineering guns any good as I could always just level that as my prof?

Re: Looking for help in my choices.....
In other words: Welcome!
Picking a race is different in everyone's eyes, as the aesthetics are that in which beauty is the eye of the beholder. I'd say roll one of each race (male or female, up to you), and walk through the starting zones (maybe level 10 or 12ish), just to give a sense of where each of the races are coming from, their motives and goals, and their racial ablilities. You get to see the physicality of the races and you can play around and see what the animations are. Then you get to decide which is right for you.
Or, you can choose your race based on your own history. Personally, I chose my race (a Blood Elf) because of the lore and their ability to find themselves stronger after a back-to-back fight with adversity. I saw myself in them because of that, which is why I have a Blood Elf main.
But it is ultimately up to you. You get enough flack from people about gear and item levels, attack rotation tweaking, and just your race and class in general (like being a Blood Elf Hunter). Play around, and if you like what you see in a certain race, keep playing it!
You can find more information on mounts, classes, races, and items on The Official World of Warcraft Site, WoWWiki, WoWhead.com, and WoWPedia. These are some sites that can help get you started and can hopefully make the decision easier. Hope this all helps!
Happy Hunting!

Re: Looking for help in my choices.....
Anyone have input regarding the gun situation?
I've decided that Worgen and Night Elf are now out of the running and it's between Dwarf and Draenei. Which one looks most badass in level 85 gear and weapons though? :p

My worgen isn't a super high level yet, but here's an idea of what she looks like on a mount:
Not the most fantastic shot, but a female draenei on a mount:

Re: Looking for help in my choices.....
I dislike guns for the same reason. My dwarf alt prefers bows; she's a Wildhammer that hasn't been corrupted by all that Gnomish engineering like the Bronzebeards.Sticks wrote:I do like dwarfs but want to use a bow or cross bow really as the gun sound is annoying.
Re: Looking for help in my choices.....
Right now it's back to nelf but I'm sure it will change again before I get home lol
Thanks for the screenies!!

It's in the lake in the NE corner of Stormwind. The easiest way to get there if you can't fly is to jump off Stormwind Keep into the lake.Sticks wrote:Oh and wheres portal island?

Hope this helps! Though I gotta say, any of the races you have it narrowed down to are pretty awesome.

Re: Looking for help in my choices.....
I'm going in completely the opposite direction to my original thoughts and starting a blood elf hunter lol
Going horde after all as I've read the warcraft history and the blood elf appeals to me in looks and in lore.
Shame to waste my gold though so I will post my sever when I get home and first member of this community to approch me gets it, about 1000 gold I think in total.
