Topic: What characters are you making?

This is just kind of a "what class/races are you going to play when WoW goes retail in the next couple of days" thread. Just curious to see what classes/races happen to be the most popular here.
That and I'm somewhat bored now that the open beta is over, and this is a minor way to relieve that boredom. :D

Anyways, the characters that I plan on making:

Alliance:
Night Elf Rogue
Human Paladin
Dwarf Hunter

Horde:
Orc Shaman
Undead Mage
and possibly a Tauren Druid.

Troll Hunter, Undead Warlock, Tauren Shaman, Orc Warrior, Dwarf Paladin, Gnome Mage, Night Elf Druid, Human Priest

Dunno which race I'll make a rogue, though.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Planning only a Tauren Hunter for now. Once I'm satisfied with that character, I'm pondering a Gnome Warlock.

Orc Warlock if my friends go Horde and i don't pick up EQ2.

Human Priest or Paladin if they go Alliance, depending on which is more needed.

NE Rogue.
Undead Warlock.
Human Pally.
NE Priest.

And maybe, probably, a hunter, deciding between an Orc and Troll though.

Can't really decide between a Tauren Warrior or an Orc Warrior. I migh stick with the Orc Warrior with my same name since I enjoyed it. I'll stick with being the good guys and stay Horde.

Orcs get a racial ability to go into a frenzy at low health.

I watched one level 29 orc warrior rip UP some shit.. and he had 240/1100 health.

Sure, the stuff was level 20, but still.. So you know.

Night Elf healer type.

Mostly since I never got around to playing an sort of healing class during beta.

Taurens get 5% extra hp though. I hear that is good and stuff.

And War Stomp.

But Orcs get Axe mastery, if you're going that way.

A 2nd stun after your charge would be some good for solo'n.

Extra damage when your low isnt going to do much in a group I'd think.

Woah, woah. I missed it earlier. Delphi has it wrong. I knew something seemed wrong. Trolls get that.

Berserking: Activate when "Wounded" to increase melee and spellcasting speed by 25% - lasts 20 sec - 2 min cooldown.

And Tauren get War Stomp: Activate to stun opponents within 5 yards - lasts 2 sec - 2 min cooldown.

Orcs get Blood Fury: Activate to increase Strength by 25% but take 5% health loss every 3 seconds - lasts 20 sec - 2 min cooldown.

All directly off WoW's website.

Realistically, they are very close to balance. Tauren are better for soloing, because Blood Fury isn't altogether practical without a healer.

Undead Warrior, with Blacksmithing/Mining.
Tauren Shaman, with Alchemy/Herbalism/Cooking/Fishing.
Dwarven Hunter using Guns, with Engineering/Mining.
Troll Warlock, with Tailoring/Enchanting.
Human Rogue, with with Leatherworking/Skinning.

I plan to use the characters to support each other pretty much entirely. I have every tradeskill for both that reason, and that I enjoy WoW tradeskills a lot, even though I disliked EQ's and DAoC's tradeskills.

I also plan to keep most of the characters at about the same level, except for the one I like the most(or the least), whichever it may be. I only played a paladin to any decent level in the beta, because I figured it'd be the character I wouldn't want to play. I liked him a lot, but I'll like Warriors better. Not sure about rogues.

I play almost entirely solo, so classes like Priest/Paladin aren't very appealing. And I just don't like Druids. I'm still curious as to how a rogue plays out solo, if anyone could inform me. I've been told he's "effective" but not much else.

If I turn out to not like him, he'll most likely turn into a Gnomish Mage who will take Engineering from the Hunter and replace it with the Rogue's old Leatherworking.

You can't be a Troll Warlock. You also can't trade between your characters of differing factions.

It wouldn't make sense to trade between a dwarf and an orc, really.. No common language to hammer out the deal (Though that can be circumvented) and what's the point?

Hang on, I misunderstood. I thought he was saying you can't make characters of multiple factions.

That is not true except on PvP.

But not being able to trade between opposing chars is true.

There is a way to work around this, but it's way too much trouble.

Right. You still can't be a troll warlock, either. Shaman, yes. Hunter, yes. Rogue, yes. No warlock.

I'm definately planning a Human Paladin at this point... Still a little torn, maybe a Dwarf, but I like the look of humans. And perhaps a horde - probably undead again - priest or warlock. Might do an orc rogue or something, though. I don't know, but I'm pretty sure Human Paladin will be the main.
