Goblin Druid

12/16/2010 3:45 PMPosted by ChixieWhy can't goblins be druids? Doesn't the alliance have two classes that can be druid now whereas horde only has tauren?

I've always seen druids as being intensely spiritual and closely attuned to nature; the ebb and flow of the seasons along with the wildness coursing in their blood. That's not the kind of thing that springs to mind when I think of goblins. Goblins seem a bit high strung and more than a little self centered. I don't think 'green' is in their vocabulary - unless they're talking about skin or cash.

In contrast, I think of shamans as being custodians over the elements. While a show of respect might be part of the bargain, they can also dominate the elements and exploit them to do their bidding. If you offer a goblin the chance to exploit something, then you've probably just made a new tiny green friend (just don't sign any contracts). Some of you might have run into Initiate Goldmine, and I think he exemplifies the goblin approach to shamanism pretty well.

Also, as others have mentioned, trolls have begun taking the path of the druid, with colorful results.

*shrug* That's how I see it. You can disagree. You'd be wrong, of course, but you can still disagree =P.
