What Race Will You Roll for Monk?

I voted Forsaken, I'm leaning that way... but I really don't know at this point.

Imo I find it hard for any other race besides Pandaren to be a monk, but when I played the beta I did see an undead monk that was in our dungeon group. and the animations of the undead monk I would say are the best out of the other races besides the Pandaren. Belfs and gnomes have worst monk animations imo. The Undead monks are actually pretty cool. However I'm going Pandaren

I used the free random faction and race changes on the Beta a lot just to see all races in action, and after that my choice for female Pandaren was settled. The only thing that I could stand apart from it animation wise on Horde is Female Troll. Every other race looked a bit off for my personal taste at least (Spinning Crane Kick usually being the "best" indicator, some races are hilariously wobbling up and down in the air while spinning on the spot).
If I were to roll Alliance, it would possibly be Dwarf or Gnome.

Pandaren. Quite possibly the only class I'll make Pandaren, it just seems to fit.

**Jaybls** · 2012-09-13, 02:16 PM

Female orc or a panda. Dont know yet, gonna decide as soon as the game is released.

**Zeverin** · 2012-09-13, 03:09 PM

Not sure, yet.
On the alliance side, I would go Draenei.
On the horde side, I would go Tauren.
Decisions, decisions...

Starting as a female Orc as the racial is great for leveling and the class itself is small, which is a problem I found on beta with my Tauren monk where I would go up to quest givers and I couldn't target them properly because a lot of the Panda NPCs are small.

I will be changing to Pandaren at 90.

Say it isn't true. I'll be making a gnome healing monk for the 5% int bonus (and 5% mana).

UD at lvl 1, then RAF to 80, quest to 85. Sleep while my Race change goes through for Panda. 85-90 as Panda Monk

**Thelxi** · 2012-09-13, 04:20 PM

Poll is lying. In a year most monks will be Belf

**Calzaeth** · 2012-09-13, 04:33 PM

Probably Forsaken. I mean, having your heavily armored ass beaten by knuckles must be embarassing enough. Having it beaten by ROTTING knuckles? Priceless!

Having trouble deciding between human, draenei, and dwarf... hard to decide

**Astralli** · 2012-09-13, 06:10 PM

Doing blood elf female. Not sure how the animations will look, but I hope they're not too bad.

**akamurdoch** · 2012-09-13, 06:11 PM

Dwarf ofc.

**ryotte** · 2012-09-13, 06:12 PM

I voted Forsaken. I like the idea of a Forsaken monk. I might have to race change my mage or something to Pandaren.

Female pandaren, that's for sure - you've got to love them.

yes ill agree, the females look alot better than the males, i like the walking animation on them (draenei isnt it?)

**Sankir** · 2012-09-13, 06:23 PM

Pandaren Monk, played one on the beta and liked it.

**Kizzor** · 2012-09-13, 06:26 PM

Forsaken! I will never ever roll a pandaren, much like i will never roll a goblin/worgen

**Lord Gaga** · 2012-09-13, 06:35 PM

Alliance: night elf female
Horde: troll female

Have experimented with the model viewer and have decided these models are the the most glitch-free and best looking.

Female pandaren have issue with their shoulders. Just like worgen females, pandaren females like to stick their arms through the shoulders during moves.
