What do you think of the new player able races? Blood Elf and Draenei

February 27, 2007 7:36am CST
I've started a character in both races since TBC came online. Just wondered what you guys thought?

I haven't had a chance to try them but both sound interesting to me! Though it seems the realms have been flooded with Draenei shaman with all the Alliance folks who wanted to try that class!

I went with a Draenei Warrior, the ability 'Gift of the Naaru' lets me self heal, to some degree. I think it adds that little extra to help the warrior along.

Blood Elf's are a nice addition. Won't play alliance so this is the only way to get a Pally and so far so good. Nice that Blizzard gave the Alliance a Shampnm to play and a Paladin to play on the alliance to keep the game semi balanced.

Why won't you play Allaiance races? I'm intrigued :)

I started a BE Priest recently, but I've been busy leveling my shaman and my mages to 70. The starting area is interesting, but the bottom line is the grind to 70.

Well I got a 48 mage blood elf and I find BE as a very nice race, but I do like Draenei more because I think they looks cool and they got naaru as a racial and that helps alot

Both are good for different things. The Draenei have the naruu gift which is VERY helpful in a pinch whilst the BloodElves have the arcane specialisation which really helps the magi classes.

I love the Draenei racial skills. I made a blood elf too, there just.. pretty. So i had to make one.

As for appearance, Blood Elves kick @#$! The Draenei are like smaller versions of the Tauren class. Both have useful racial abilites, Gift of the Naaru for the Draenei and Arcane Torrent and Mana Tap for Blood Elves.
