View Full Version : Odd race/class/gender combinations

It seems everyone here is multiboxing with undead males or orc males. Why not have 5 female dwarves? Imagine them all riverdancing at the same time. Female trolls? You'd look like an army of gold farmers. (FARMERS, not sellers. The sellers/spammers are always level 1 female orc warriors, but the ones farming all day are invariably female trolls). The reason I'm posting this thread is because I'm trying to think of a really amusing combination so I can begin upgrading from 2 box to 3 box. Any ideas?

+1 Serious: Female Tauren Warriors: They are so, hmm... ODD.

Lets face it - people don't pick undead for the dance. WoTF is the best multiboxing racial bar none. :) Troll racials are pretty sucky really, Orcs & Taurens are much better. Same with Dwarves, worst racials of the Alliance races.

I am planning a 5x Tauren druid stampede as soon as my WoW skillz become so great I can play blindfolded.

Female dwarf rogues are the least common combination for alliance in my experience ;)

Well, I think there are a couple of factors:
* Racial skills - WotF has been mentioned and for good reason. It's a great way to avoid being fear-bombed. It's also no coincidence that some of the more popular multibox class setups can all be undead. (1xPriest, 4xLocks works... Mages can be undead, Warriors can be undead, etc)
* Physical size - 5xTauren can be an imposing force on the battlefield, and round-robin casting of War Stomp has potential, but you are also AN INCREDIBLY LARGE AND OBVIOUS TARGET. For a lot of players, especially mousing-controller folks, it's hard to resist targeting Taurens first. Also of note is that navigating Taurens through buildings, instances, tight spaces, etc can be a real bitch.
* Orcs - Orcs are compact, have a decent racial, and are allowed to be Shaman (a very popular multibox class at the moment). I personally rolled 3 more Orcs because my first shaman (their eventual teammate) happened to be an Orc. Were I to do it without that constraint, I might have rolled 4 Trolls because they are super sexy and have a nice casting animation. Alternatively, I think a Tauren main and 3-4 Orc followers could be nice for PvP, since you might be able to hide the orcs behind the Tauren to some degree.
* Draeni - Great racial skill for extra healing, even if their totems look awful.
Orcs FTW!!1!11

The only problem with a 5 x Tauren team (apart from not being able to see around them :) ), is that the warstomp stun suffers from diminishing returns. Its casting time can make it tricky as well. The extra HP are good though...
