If Your Class was of a Different Race, Would you Play It?Follow

I have heard a lot of posters on this board talking about a class they have found that they really love and I'm just curious about something:

If that class was exclusive to your least favorite race, especially of the opposite faction, would you still play it? (And if there isn't a race that you hate, imagine one. Would you still like your class if it looked like a ball of slime? Like your high school math teacher? Like Miley Cyrus' face).

Say you LOVE the way the Chosen plays and HATE the Dwarves. If the Chosen class belonged to the Dwarves, would you roll one just to play it?

(Note: I'm not talking about lore here, just solid gameplay).

I'm just curious if anyone has found a class who's dynamic they love so much that they don't care about anything else in the equation. In all other MMOs I have played, this wasn't an issue. Most classes in WoW had decent diversity (except for Druid) and any race could play any Job in FFXI.

Just how important is the look of your toon to you?

More goblin choices would have swayed me to concentrate there first. One of the main reasons I ended up Order with RL friends was that I had avoided good elves in past mmos, so at least there is some newness in it for me.

I'd be inclined to try a bright wizard if I could roll it as a dwarf or either Greenskin.

My alt project Zealot was about the only non-goblin that interested me at all right now.

Would I rather be an archmage without being an elf? Heck yeah!

personally I don't play certain classes cause I don;t like the way the race looks. I love the idea of an ironbreaker, I just hate the way GW Dwarves look. If the Empire had an Ironbreaker (an no the KotBZ is not going to be the same) I would play it.

Destro does not an an ironbreaker equivelent, that class in not in game yet, and Dark Elves look OK. Now give me a Chosen of Khorne and I'm all over that like white on rice, on a paper plate, in a snow storm, with a glass of milk

Probably not. I'm all about the waxed 'tache, Empire male ftw.

I love Dwarves, always have always will. That being said I sometimes don't play them in games because I feel they haven't been done well. In WAR I love the Dwarfs, so no, I would't play my class if it was another race (and with the system they have in WAR the opposite realm often does have a version of the class eg BO=SM).

yes well, technically chaos could have swordmasters, since Chaos is the coruptor of all things. It's not unreasonable (though it would be rare indeed) for an Elven Swormaster to turn to Chaos. As for Bright Wizzards, I kinda would like to more of the 12 collages of magic represented, but then each race would need an expanding upon to abllance it out.

I would definatly play a swordmaster or a shadow hunter (or however they're called, they're the ones with the bows) if they weren't elves. I just don't like elves, never have, probably neverwill.

Funny thing is I never liked to play a tank or a human in and mmo. Now my favorite classes are the Witchhunter and the Black Orc.

Also on a final note, if humans could play as Black Orc's, how would they be called?
