Article: Zandalari Trolls Guide - Battle for Azeroth Allied Races

[Harbour]

That moment you saw the title and was excited to find out about the classes for Zandalari but there are none of them except for the druids. Paladins plz Blizz.

[Nuvuk]

If the UC and SW story line are scenario format then thats fine but it will suck if you have to deal with other players. I hope at least we only have to do it with 1 toon.

[Syegfryed]

The back toe/nail is missing from zandalari male troll, its a mistake that should be fixed

Man these chicks are HOMELY. Like bag over the face homely.

[chiddie]

@Harbour Lel, Zandalari Loladins male no sense at all.

[Whitedragon]

This race will be the final hit to the Alliance. Everyone will move to Horde. I mean I've been playing Alliance since 2007 but this is way too cool.

But the horde already has all the people who want to play "Badass" ugly races.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely am going to make a Zandalari Troll Druid but...please, PLEASE can Horde just have ONE "pretty" race for Druids Cows, Cows with Antlers, Trolls, somehow even uglier Trolls. I just wanna be a pretty Druid on Horde that doesn't have to "hide" in animal form 24/7

Blood elves would be a good fit, they have even had some NPC druids.

[Gelantious]

Is that gold collar thingy part of the body so you can't get rid of it on the females?
That kinda sucks....

[Apart]

Classes
The Zandalari Trolls Allied Race can be any of these classes:

Druid
Other options are unknown at this time.

Yeah, it's not like you can confirm Warrior as well since that was, well who knows, the entire introduction video at BlizzCon.

[AoBman05]

I hope they can be Shamans, Enh Hidden Artifact appearance is made for them.

Shaman is practically a given for them. Trolls have always practiced shamanism in the lore so I will be very surprised if they can't be shaman in BFA.

[Fjordkeeper]

They don't look finished.
I'm pretty sure they will get some more customization options, especially for the faces. At least I hope so, since they all look the same to me.

Druid Forms

So Dark Iron Dwarves will be available in a later patch?

[Bane-Thunder-God]

This expansion has done it. After years being Alliance I'm returning to Horde which I originally belonged to from vanilla. I have to have a Zandalari Druid cause i never liked the hunched over trolls. And on top of that the Collectors edition mount for horde really craps all over the Alliance horse.

I'm tired of this abuse on alliance so its time to return to the horde.

[Evelyn]

So how about content? because all I see are a handful of new races and some shitty aesthetics.

[Lady Velvet]

Is it just me or do they look like they have the same stand posture as the Nightborne?
I mean, I understand the whole idea of allied races was lazy, but this would be super special lazy...

This race will be the final hit to the Alliance. Everyone will move to Horde. I mean I've been playing Alliance since 2007 but this is way too cool.

What have you been smoking?

[Emblin]

@Harbour Lel, Zandalari Loladins male no sense at all.

Zandalari Prelates are like Loa worshipping paladins. they totally make sense.

[chiddie]

Zandalari Prelates are like Loa worshipping paladins. they totally make sense.

For me a troll paladin makes no sense at all.

Priest is just fine, but paladin... hell no (even Tauren Paladins make no sense to me).

[Melius]

omg they made a special haircut for feminazi trolls

[Swizzle]

Is it just me or do they look like they have the same stand posture as the Nightborne?

Both Nightborne and Zandalari use the Night Elf skeleton, so it makes sense that they would move the same.

[TickTickTick]

Whats the point of this "news" post if half of it is "we dont know yet"? Besides a fake feel of something new and masking the fact how dead this site has become, of course.
