Human hunterFollow

Hunters are the most popular class.

Humans are the most popular race.

If Blizz allowed Human Hunters they would soon make up 50% of the server population.

I know why human's aren't hunters...they look dumb in leather and mail gear...and wow they look horrible in any Dungeon or Tier gear... to prove my point i made a lvl 1 human mage and opened atlas loot...here is my thoughts on humans in the various hunter sets...enjoy! :p

T1 Giant stalkers:Fat,Goofy Helm,Short shorts make them look like pedophiles

T2 Dragon Stalkers:Gay,Feminine,Like a home decorator on TLC

T3 Crypt Stalkers:They kinda look like a autistic creature from the black lagoon

T4 Demon Stalkers:bahaha they look like a jack-o-lantern

T5 Rift Stalkers:I cant think of anything witty for this...it just looks dumb

T6 Gronn Stalkers:They look like a monster from a cheasy slasher film

note: T 2.5 (the AQ40 set) Strikers Diadrem:Same description as T2 gay fashion designer vibe going

WILL UPDATE WHEN TIER 7 COMES OUT TY :p

Bigest thing I would like to see is a gnomish hunter, only thing with that, is with their ifinity belonging to machines not nature, therfore they would have too make their own pets. Which decidedly owuld be the coolest thing available!

i think BE shouldn't be rogues, crouching just doesnt fit them :D


but anyway wanting human hunters are a dream as much as wanting night elf death knights with the next expansion :D

The 3 natural Hunter races (IMO) are Night Elf, Tauren and Troll because they're definitely the most primitive races in Warcraft due to their histories and cultures.

Despite the Warsong Lumber Camp, I think Orc hunters are trying to reclaim an aspect of their heritage from before they were corrupted my Mannoroth, and despite Thrall's noble nature, he is somewhat naive and I'm sure he's not completely aware of how some of the Horde's industrial operations are working. Despite that, I think the majority of their operations go towards the construction of cities and outposts as opposed to instruments of war.

The general concept of a Dwarf Hunter is appealing but their actions are the least in tune with what a Hunter represents. Everyone up to King Magni himself is aware of the excavation and mining operations going on across Azeroth, and they seem to have little regard for the territory of other races (again, the same can be applied to the orcs with WSG as well).

Because Humans have like McDonalds, Burger King & Pizza Hut. Duh!

Personally, I see no reason that any race shouldn't be able to be any class.

All the differences people are mentioning here are cultural differences. In WoW, races tend to stick together in unique cultures, but that doesn't mean for instance, that a human couldn't have been raised by night elves and learn the secret of druidism, or a tauren be raised by the forsaken and understand the secrets of the warlock....

there are of course a few exceptions because of circumstance (not race) such as the forsaken. They're humans with strange circumstances, i.e. being undead, but heck, if they can be priests, they should be able to be paladins even. They're really the only 'race' with built in restrictions though (i.e. their circumstances formulated their racial identity in such a way they may not be able to do certain things) and Blizzard already ignored that :P

While blood elves- as a governmental entity- allied with the horde (and many with illidan) it's not tied to their race, some didn't even become blood elves and stayed with the alliance. WoW is full of these cross faction examples, from humans the likes of the Ravenholdt rogues to the undead Argent dawn member.


(And when I first bought the game, I wanted to be a goblin hunter ; ;)

I think there's a fairly good reason that tauren's can't be rogues. Have you ever seen a big bull stealth its way up to anything and remain completely unseen? Try ambushing someone when they saw you coming a mile away.


Many different cultures each have their priests. They're a commonplace type of figure to find among people (especially old style cultures like WoW ones) where people are at war.

Paladins are a more specific order though. It's possibly true that, since the BC expansion, with the Blood Elves finding their way to tap into divine powers to fuel their own paladin units, the Forsaken could possibly be taught how to share that. The Blood Elves might be unwilling to do so, though... And the Forsaken might not even be interested. Run around the Undead starting areas and many people will say to you "embrace the shadow!"

Their culture seems to like the darker things. Warlock magic, shadow priest abilities, ninja-looting as a rogue. I think it's a matter of providing priest in so far as to provide a healer class. A priest can use their powers to fit their ideals, to a certain extent. But to add paladin would be to, essentially, bind them to the light. I don't know if they'd like that.

In terms of game balance, the other Horde races that can be priests (other than Undead) are Trolls and Blood Elves. So, before the expansion, you had two races. While the Alliance have Human, Dwarf, Night Elf (and now Draenei).

The idea of a person from one species being raised among another is interesting, since it's fairly common in fantasy literature. But how do you make it work in-game? Role-players surely decide details like that in their playstyle. How does a straight numbers gamer get that incorporated though?

CHARACTER CREATION--

Choose Race...

Choose Capital city your character was born in...

Choose the secondary people your character was raised by...

Choose the years they were raised from (e.g age 11-17)...

Choose which class they wish to learn but will, undoubtably fail at due to their clumsy Human/overzealous Dwarvish/snooty Night Elf ways...

Choose which race (the one they were born from or the one they were raised among) your character will be sexually attracted to...

What a setup that could be.

Hang on - don't roll your eyes. Or watch out that they don't roll out of your sockets!

Why? The above stuff is REAL! Real Christian warriors believed they could use blunt weapons and evade Scripture that said something about "thou shalt not draw blood" (I'm paraphrasing, if I'm even doing that).

I believe certain Templars and other Holy monks/clerics fighting in the Middle East were mostly the ones behind this. Oh, and the Inquisition - which prided itself (at certain times, obviously not all periods - it lasted a long time and took place over a vast region) in torturing people w/out drawing blood (again for reasons of Scripture and possibly to avoid public outcry).

Now, we can see how absurd this is - and they should have, too - esp. in light of the many places in the Bible where Jesus pointed out that God can see through phony, sham tricks and isn't going to be duped. But the BIble in those days was in Latin, so maybe we should cut them some slack.

Game balance is the real reason, as Cala says, for the WoW choices. Also remember that WoW player hunters are "magic" hunters (they use mana and cast "spells" via their shots - can heal pet - etc etc.). Humans maybe can't get that mojo working for them.

Not all Teplars. The knights used whatever - it was ... gah, I can't even remember where to look it up. It was priests and/or monks - whether Templars, Hospitallers or other - who had the blunt weapon thing. Not the Knights.

Edit - also, I'm not sure humans are "farther away from nature" than WoW Dwarves are. They're digging up everything - ruining the Barrens - and they keep about a million tons of iron melted at any given time in their city - wanna talk about a pollution nightmare!

In SW where is the - COUGH COUGH - smoke? It's in the Dwarven District!

No, I think Humans in WoW are much closer to Nature than Dwarves. I wouldn't try to make sense of Blizzard's decision here. It's purely for game balance reasons - not any "real" sense.
