Help me decide on which Race-Class combos to use!

[Claymore]

So... having OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) is a bitch. Among other issues, I find it difficult to play games when I don't have things in an orderly manner. Originally, I used to play Humans almost exclusively, but since then, I've begun to appreciate having diversity between the various Races. However, this means that I have a little work to do.

So, here's the deal; I'm going to lay out which Classes I would be comfortable having as which Races, and if you would, try your best to "LEGO" them together in such a way that I have 1 of every Class, without any of the Races overlapping. I'll go ahead and save you a bit of trouble, in that "Pandaren Monk" and "Night Elf Druid" are pretty set-in-stone for me. Keep in mind, I do *NOT* have to have every Race, since that would be impossible anyways; just avoiding using the same Race for two different Classes.

So then; let's get started!

Human: Paladin or Death Knight
Dwarf: Warrior, Hunter, or Shaman
Gnome: Mage
Draenei: Priest or Paladin
Worgen: Rogue or Warlock

Orc: Warrior or Shaman
Troll: Hunter, Shaman, or Priest
Tauren: Shaman
Undead: Death Knight or Warlock
Blood Elf: Mage or Warlock
Goblin: Rogue or Warlock

Also, if you're not busy, please explain your point of view, too! Whether you feel certain combinations just fit better in terms of Lore, or even if you just think they *look* better, share your thoughts!

Human : Paladin
Dwarf: Hunter

Draenei: Priest

[leggomydairy]

Human: Paladin
Dwarf: Hunter
Gnome: Mage
Draenei: Priest
Worgen: Rogue

Orc: Warrior
Troll: Hunter
Tauren: Shaman
Undead: Death Knight
Blood Elf: Warlock
Goblin: Rogue

I like both Cata races as rogues. I don't know why hahaha. For Goblins, I like the thought of a goblin who gets "money on the side" through some shady means. For Humans, paladin cause it just seems to be right, dwarf hunter cause of the kickass one in the original cinematic, orc warrior because it's the closest to barbarian, undead death knight because it would really suck to have the lich king kill you twice.

Human: Paladin, Rogue, Warlock, Death Knight
Dwarf: Warrior, Priest
Gnome: Mage
Draenei: Paladin, Priest
Worgen: Rogue, Hunter

Orc: Warrior, Warlock, Shaman
Troll: Shaman, Hunter, Rogue
Tauren: Hunter, Shaman
Undead: Death Knight, Warlock
Blood Elf: Priest, Mage, Warlock, Hunter, Rogue
Goblin: Warrior, Mage

Naturally, Blood Elf are magic-users but I've included Hunter and Rogue because they are much alike Night Elf when it comes to stealth in lore. Goblin one is little difficult, I've always considered them as "engineer" classes.

Human Paladin- look the best in tier gear IMO
Dwarf Shaman- love the idea of being a Wild Hammer
Gnome Mage- They are all around arcane.
Dreanei Priest- Beings who stauwartly follow the light, if a Valen style model ever becomes available.. *it wont* it would be pure epicness.
Worgen Hunter- A beast who controls a beast, besides a wolf running with his wolf pet looks epic

Orc Warlocks- Supreme in their gear, and lore wise some of the most powerful warlocks were orc. One did shatter a whole planet....
Troll......i highly dislike their models.... i would say druid personally, but you dont want that... i like the fact they are more Loa based, then druidic...
Tauren Warrior- Big Burley Bad Ass
Undead Deathknight- They play the part well.
Blood Elf Rogue- Female blood elf rogues have hand down the best stealth idle animation, makes me feel like a real rogue.
Goblin Anything- you cant go wrong, aside from maybe warrior or hunter... i dont think they fit the bill

[Justignoreme]

Worgen Druid
Night Elf Rogue.
Pandaren Shaman
Dwarf Monk

Since you've set in stone those and really should explore other options than overbearing stereotypes.

every druid being a night elf and every monk being pandaren is boring

I would take undead for everything but i don't like repetition, even in real like i'll do something else just because i think "hey ! i did it like this last time, let's go crazy this time"

[Skarsguard]

Human Paladin
Dwarf Hunter
Gnome Rogue
Night Elf Druid
Panda Monk
Orc Warrior
Undead warlock
Troll Shaman
Blood elf Dk

[Al Gorefiend]

Human - Priest
Dwarf - Hunter
Night Elf - Druid
Gnome - Mage
Draenei - Paladin
Worgen - Rogue

Pandaren - Monk

Orc - Death Knight
Undead - Warlock
Tauren - Warrior
Troll - Shaman

None of the classes do a Goblin justice, My Goblin is a lock because of the big booms, but Blizz needs like a Techie sort of class to fit with them.

[Claymore]

Okay, I'm thinking this will be the way to go (as bandcamp also suggested, I believe):

Human Paladin
Night Elf Druid
Gnome Mage
Draenei Priest
Worgen Rogue

Orc Warrior
Troll Hunter
Tauren Shaman
Undead Death Knight
Blood Elf Warlock

Pandaren Monk

The only bummer is that I can't shake the feeling the Blood Elves and Mages just go together really, really well. As well, Warlock-gear doesn't really look like something a Blood Elf would wear. Perhaps, then, I would change it up go have "Worgen Warlock, Goblin Rogue, Blood Elf Mage", and nix having a Gnome altogether?

[mistuhbull]

Here's a Simple Flow Chart for you

Alliance
Can it be Gnome? Then Gnome
Cam it not be Gnome, but can be Draenei?: Then Draenei
Are you trying to play a Druid? Night Elf

Horde
Can it be Blood Elf? Play Blood Elf
Is it a druid or Shaman? Play Tauren or Troll

Female orc : Warrior death knight hunter rogue shaman mage warlock monk
Tauren male : Paladin
Gob male : Priest
Troll male : Drood

Yes my main is a female orc

[Ryuji]

Might be a different setup to yours but this is another combo setup to try(all of these are assuming you pick male):

Human: Paladin, Warlock or Death Knight
Dwarf: Hunter
Night Elf: Druid
Gnome: Mage or Warlock
Draenei: Priest or Paladin
Worgen: Warrior or Druid
Orc: Shaman, Warrior or Death Knight
Troll: Shaman or Hunter
Tauren: Shaman or Druid
Undead: Rogue or Death knight
Blood Elf: Mage, Warlock, Priest or Death Knight
Pandaren: Shaman or Monk

[Felarion]

Human: Paladin, Death Knight
Dwarf: Warrior
Gnome: Delete this race from game Mage.
Night Elf: Hunter, Druid
Draenei: Paladin, Priest
Worgen: idk.

Orc: Warrior,Warlock,Shaman, Death Knight
Tauren:Warrior,Druid, Shaman
Troll: Shaman, Hunter,Druid (imo only new race combo from cata which fit to race )
Undead: Warlock
Blood Elf: Mage, Warlock.
Goblin: Rouge ? it's same category as gnomes

Pandaren: Nothing really, even panda monk looks crap imo

[Deleted]

Human Paladin or Priest (Holy/Disc only)
Dwarf Shaman or Hunter
Gnome NONE - Nothing really fits them, Mage/Warlock would actually be the worst choices for them, they're an engineer race, not a magician one at all.
Night Elf Druid
Draenei Priest (Holy/Disc only) or Paladin
Worgen NONE - Nothing really fits that isn't already better suited for other races.
Orc Warlock
Tauren Warrior
Troll Hunter or Shaman
Blood Elf Mage
Goblin Rogue
Undead DK
Pandaren Monk

[Deleted]

Hah, I have OCD too and while I don't feel like I have to play the race that fits the class the most, the race-class combination has to make sense lore-wise and has to look good.

If I had to pick only 1 class for each race then...

Human: Paladin
Dwarf: Hunter
Gnome: Mage
Night Elf: Druid
Draenei: Priest
Worgen: Rogue

Orc: Warrior
Troll: Hunter
Tauren: Shaman
Undead: Mage
Blood Elf: Warlock
Goblin: Rogue

Pandaren: Monk
