The silly dream of your childhood has come true. From now on, you can cause chaos as a Tauren rogue in World of Warcraft.
In World of Warcraft, Pre-Patch 10.0 is live. This officially marks the beginning of the “Dragonflight” era, even though the release of the new expansion is still a few weeks away.
However, a large part of the features is already included. This not only includes the increased character limit of 60 per account but also the ability to create new class-race combinations.
An ancient meme has become reality, as we now have the best rogues of all time: Tauren rogues.
Why is that so amusing? Although Tauren rogues have only been playable for a few hours, rumors and jokes about these rogues have been around since the launch of World of Warcraft nearly 20 years ago. Back then, people asked, “Why do you never see Tauren rogues?” And the obvious answer was: “Because they are so much better than rogues of other races.”
This could also be due to abilities like “Ca-muh-flage” – the potential for good (and bad) puns and dad jokes is virtually endless.
What other combinations are there? Besides Tauren rogues, there are a whole range of other combinations possible that could not be seen before in World of Warcraft. All new combinations are:
- Highmountain Tauren Mage
- Highmountain Tauren Rogue
- Highmountain Tauren Priest
- Tauren Mage
- Tauren Rogue
- Orc Priest
- Draenei Rogue
- Lightforged Draenei Rogue
Is there more to come? That’s questionable. Blizzard had announced that they want to allow as many combinations as possible, but whether soon “all races can play all classes” is probably debatable.
Especially the new Evokers and Demon Hunters are suited, due to their very specific animations and character customizations, only for Dracthyr and Nightborne or Blood Elves. Other combinations like “Draenei Warlock” could be somewhat problematic from a storyline perspective if Blizzard does not introduce any narrative changes here.
Until then, we can all be happy that Tauren can now sneak up from behind and with a “/muh” emote eliminate others with a backstab.
What do you think about the new combinations? A “moo-ving” change? Or do the new possibilities not fit with the races?
