Class that best fits an Orc

[Po the Monk]

It's a difficult question, but if you can only name one class.
Which class do you think best fits an Orc?

Remember, there is no correct answer, only true feelings.

Might as well mention some iconic Orc characters here:
Thrall, Shaman
Garrosh, Warrior
Gul'dan, Warlock
Ner'zhul, Shaman
Nazgrim, Warrior

The orcs once cultivated a noble, shamanistic society on Draenor

For me:

Male Orc Warrior

/edit just one class

[Jamie081]

Shaman for me.

[habitsbreaker]

most of their clan leaders were Warriors

I guess it would be Peon?

[Chonar]

Yup, thats pretty much spot-on. Warrior, Shamans and Warlocks.

Orc Mages are an abomination.

In Order:

1. Warrior
2. Shaman
3. Warlock
4. Hunter
Everything else.

They might have had a Shaman-based spiritual society before their corruption, but most of the clan leaders were warriors, and if I remember correctly it was 1 shaman per hunting party. I mean it was the Old Orcish society, where Shamanism was at its peak for the Orcs, that gave us the best Orc warriors around (Grom Hellscream, Doomhammer, Kargath Bladefist, Saurfang, Blackhand the Destroyer, Kilrogg Deadeye, Durotan.) So to say Shaman is the best fitting class sounds wrong to me.

You could chuck in death Knights if you wanted; Orcs invented Death Knights (well, gen 1 DKs, totally different to WotLK DKs; probably better related to a variant of Warlock).

Garona is a pretty famous half orc rogue; and there's the entire shattered hand clan of rogues.

But yeah, if we're talking iconic classes for Orc I think it's probably Warrior. Shaman and Warlock represent old and new cultural traditions; but Warriors have been dominant Orc archetypes all along.

Personally I think warrior.

I started playing the warcraft series in the mid 90s and loved flicking through the game guides. This picture is one I always remember

Mage, there is nothing else.

[Janicia]

Warrior, Shaman, Hunter and I guess Warlock, warlocks being more of an Old Horde type class compared to Thrall's or even Garrosh's Hordes

Garrosh apparently has a No-Warlock Policy nowadays.

Pish posh you silly dwarf.

[Xilurm]

but if you can only name one class.

Warrior fits them best imo.

Warrior
shaman
prehaps hunter

if you wanna include W1-2 old horde,
then warlock also
though they arent a really fitting class pre and post Old Horde. though post still has some, accepted but not trusted by orcish soceity

[Trassk]

Orc shaman is my main. I also got orc dk, hunter, mage and now monk.

Orc monks kinda cool to rp as, warrior type who supresses his rage with meditation. As near to a spirit warrior as we're get

Orc Death Knights were basically Warlocks with some overlaps to the new Scourge Death Knights, Interestingly enough, most of them went on to become the Scourge's first Liches.

[Itisamuh]

Warrior, followed closely by shaman.
