WoW character classes and RL stereotypes

[DragonfireEX402]

I had talked to my brother after almost 4 years, and we had also talked about how character classes compared to RL stereotypes. So here's what we came up with. BTW, I'm going by the capabilities and lore of the classes. I am not going by how people play the classes or going by the players of WoW.

Death Knights - Emotionally disturbed
Druids - Environmentalist hippies
Hunters - Experts at surviving outdoors
Mages - Very smart and rely on wits to get by in life
Monk - I haven't really figured that one out yet
Paladins - Seemingly all around perfect physically and mentally
Priests - They do too much for others and not enough for themselves. In other words, they are too nice.
Rogues - Silent, but their presence alone gets them respect.
Shaman - Full of great advice they have acquired from experience to offer to people younger than them
Warlocks - Mainly goths
Warriors - Very strong, but also lack in wits

EDIT: You people totally missed the point of this thread. GG

Eheheheh, I can't imagine a smart arcane mage. I just can't, I'm so sorry.

And what is it supposed to say about you if you have 8 85s all but one of which you play to some extend during any given week (haven't maxed a rogue or warlock yet, and honestly just don't like my mage). with a warrior tank as main, shaman healer as a close second and currently favoring my shadow priest for dps? Multiple personalities?

Players: All my personal experience!

Death Knights: Sniveling incompetents.
Druids: ... Usually pretty damn good.
Hunters: Slightly less sniveling incompetents, but more likely to be whiney about it.
Mages: Either PVP heroes or old men (In my experience O.o)
Monk: See: Death Knights (Speculation)
Paladins: Healers: Badasses. Tanks: Badasses. DPS: Whiney bitches.
Priests: Idiots, but very useful.
Rogues: I'm literally the only Rogue I have ever been in a raid with that hasn't been 1800+ rated :| PVP heroes, I guess.
Shaman: Always cool people.
Warlocks: Two of the coolest people I've ever known have been Warlocks.
Warriors: The only DPS class that ever really makes me try to keep pace.


Lore-Wise:

Death Knights: Emo bitches with no real sense of purpose, save causing pain (For lore, they do need to D: )
Druids: Always whining about "Balance" and "Preservation" and all that noise.
Hunters: Badass snipers. "Yeah, I can nail a swallow at fifty yards. What of it?"
Mages: Power-thirsty mad scientists.
Monk: FUCKING PANDA WHORES.
Paladins: Alliance: Good guys, a bit too perfect. Tauren: Good guys, kinda weird smelling. Blood Elf: BAT SHIT CRAZY.
Priests: Devoted cultists to some power or another.
Rogues: Han Solo types. 'Scruffy looking Kodo-herders.'
Shaman: See: Druids. Replace first quote with 'Elements'.
Warlocks: Mages, but way worse.
Warriors: Great leaders, basically the rank and file of every army. 'Cannon fodder'.

Hunters: counter strike wannabes
Mages: Hit dat Button! Hyak, hyak!
Monk: The plague awaiting
Priests: Respect!
Rogues: stun, stun, stun, stun, stun, stun, stun, and ...oh yeah, stun!
Warlocks: unappreciated class
Warriors: Swifty Fanboi

[nezgral]

Blood deathknights that pvp- sexually molested emotionally and mentally disturbed people.
Arcane mage- mentally handicapped individual that is clearly too incompetent to do a real rotation.
Rogues- douchebags

I'm cool with everything else

+1 for the tank description! :P

Paladins - Seemingly all around perfect physically and mentally

I mainly play a paladin and I'm far from this. Also, profiling human beings by the class they play in a video game is stupid.

I think crendor did well with this

[Melilithia]

< Warlock Main
< Goth chick IRL

[DragonfireEX402]

I actually saw that video and it was really funny. What crendor did was point out the stereotypes of players of the classes. I mainly compared the classes and RL stereotypical personalities with the lore and potential of the classes.

[ToxTheWrecker]

Warrior: Very much dislike Swifty. Work out 5 days a week. Graduated top class in Medical field. Very Open minded and loves to research for both self improvement and knowledge. Great with Back engineering.
.. Not a typical Warrior apparently. Warrior has been my main since BC.

[stomination]

We always say rogues are emo players.

[DragonfireEX402]

I guess I'm not really making myself plain. What I did was compared the character classes to the RL stereotypical personalities of people. They don't even have to be WoW players.

My warrior is my 2nd main and... who the fuck is swifty?

Only stereotype i have is that all holy pallies hate me. I have no idea why must just be the type of people that play them.

Shaman: Wolf form dancing ftw
Paladin: Bubbles!

[Morros]

Rogues - Little girls who can't fight without having stealth, vanish, and stuns, so their opponent never actually gets to fight back.

Mages - Stoners
