WoW: Any Race/Class combos to stay away from?

Hi there!

Ok...still debating what to play, but after remembering some bad EQ experiences with wanting to play a certain class, but picking the absolute worst race for that particular class, it got me thinking:

Are there any Race/Class combos that make more sense than others?

Thanks!

Kind of hard to avoid if you play a gnome, but theres your warning.

Let''s duel phragged.

From what I''ve seen, there isn''t really a bad choice you can make.

My problem is that I want to make EVERY choice. Not enough hours in the day. Such a fun game.

There are no bad race/class combinations. There are bad class/talent spec/player expectation combinations.

Certain classes due lend themselves to certain races, but I think most advantageous go away after about lvl 20 or so.

WoW is unlike other mmorpgs, there isn''t a bad combo choice to be made, only poor talent choices like Strekos said. And even then your character is still fully functional and fun.

And you can respec with a gold piece so even then you arent to crippled.

LOL listen there was no such thing in EQ...
I played a gnome enchanter, with a Diety! and got along quite well.

(for you non EQers, having a religion with an enchanter was close to being sacralige in EQ)

That Nascar/Cultural Literacy thing didn''t work out so well...

It increases with each re-spec. 1, 5, 10, 25, ...

Yeah there aren''t really any bad race/class combo. This also means that there aren''t any cookie-cutter uber combo either which is great.

My Enchanter worshipped Tunare, and yes, it did suck - I couldn''t do several quests since some evil NPCs could somehow tell my religion while I was invisible and had a race illusion on.

Anyways, I think Fanatka would be better served by outlining his play style and then asking which race/class combo would fit it.

Yeah..I''m waiting for the Taurens to finally get around to teaching the Orcs about the ways of the Druid...

I mean whats the big secret??

I think there''s one set of ""bad combos"" that some players might consider that was discussed earlier, and that is combos that waste racial advantages.

For example, dwarves have a gun advantage as a racial bonus. Priests can''t use guns. While it is not crippling in any way, dwarven priests are therefore effectively ""wasting"" an advantage.

Sly have you been playing WoW? I never see Slyvanian on.

I played on Sunday. My god man, I''m not a machine!

I have ""missed"" a couple of days, but I''m still around and going strong. I have a new warrior character with, ahem, another guild (which has nothing to do with why I haven''t been seen since Sunday, I''ve just been busy and haven''t been playing anything), but that doesn''t mean I won''t be on more than I should with Slyvanian, sharing the love and enchants.

Sly, you''ve got mail. Been sending magic items your way again. I also need you to enchant a new weapon for me. Your the only enchanter in the guild that plays on a regular basis, as far as I know. That makes you important. You should be on 24/7, or something close to that.

Well, I used to see you all the time, but not for the past week. I sent you a bunch of stuff to, and I need the hookup on some enchants.

I know that Ruskin''s brother Atrocities is an enchanter and he is high level (38, I think) and is always on. Atro, what is your enchanting up to?

Ahhhh. I was on Sunday, really I was! I even enchanted a bunch of stuff for people them (looked for Tycho, but I didn''t see him around). It''s only Wednesday now! The pressure! The pressure!
