Contemplating a race change...

Unread post by Slickrock »

Right now I'm a male spacegoat. Have trouble fitting through doorways, especially on mounts, and am always way over the hitcap.

Considering a gnomish engineering accident to dwarvish.

You want it, you do it.
Dwarves are good for PvP, and you'll fit trough any door.

Interesting reason to change race...then again I went from a bloodelf to a troll just so I didnt have to ride a damn Chocobo ripoff. So Id say go for it. Dwarves are fun

Dwarves are most definitely better than Draenei, so....I agree. ;)

Oh, if you're interested in RP, and doing RP in raids and such (yes, that kind of guild exists) Ulduar is the place, for obvious reasons.

I also have a side motive... with recent guild drama and such, along with the hacking incident, I've been thinking about going "anonymous" for a while, so the gnomish engineering accident along with a name change might be a good thing.. Since the hackers removed me from guild, that makes it easier..

The only real problem, that I hope Blizz will fix in Cata, is that dwarfs are gun specialists, and there are damn few guns in ICC.

You can always just do a name change if that's the case, maybe a realm change if you are so inclined. You don't nessecarily have to do a race change. That hit rating does come in very useful once you start getting out of gear with hit rating, and it give's you a good deal of wiggle room with enchants and gems.

True, but I think some would figure it out, since I would still be on certain friend's lists. But with the race change, it would make it much different.

Regarding the hit, I'm at 281 right now, which is way over considering the racial. I'm not wearing one of my 264 rings because of the excess, and no points in FA either.. :D.

I'm only likely to get one more ICC upgrade anytime soon that would drop it some (the 264 bracers), but, I still have room there at my gear level.

The only other bummer about the change is the lack of guns.. dwarves like guns... I'd pay a fair amount if I could get in a run to get the BRK special.

I don't like the Dwarfs personally. I don't like how they are midgets. I Changed to a Draenei.

Don't get me going on Gnomes. I have a Gnome warlock and I find him highly annoying. Sounds like her never hit puberty.

Dwarves are awesome-sauce sprinkled with sprinkles! I had a dwarf paladin, whom I made blood elf, but I miss being a dwarf sooooo bad. I wish they were on the horde side. :( So yeah, gnomes and dwarves get my vote any day of the week!

Well, spent some time looking at realm raid progression, server populations, horde/ally balance.. and it turns out my server is pretty decent (why I transfered here in the first place...)

And I just can't see going horde right now.. it's the undead.. I've fought with UD rogues in AV for too long.. can't see myself teaming with them...

So, I think it's gonna be a gnomish transmogrifier accident that leaves me as a dwarf..

But I am also thinking about transferring my lvl 34 troll hunter over to Nessingwary...

Dwarves aren't midgets tho, they're pretty nicely proportioned tbh.

IE; they are smaller than their pets without being ridiculously so.

when I rolled mine, Ryai was still my main-main hunter/main, and I had grown so used to pets being SMALLER than me, the change was quite nice tbh.

Yeah, If I ever get around to Faction and server changing on Gim, the one thing I'll miss is being a dwarf...
