You’d think that writing at WoW Insider would allow you a little influence over the community, but I suspect readers affect us more than the other way around. Story time: I wasn’t initially planning on rolling a Goblin character for anything, but when we polled readers about what class they wanted to play on a Goblin in November 2009, one of our commenters wrote something I never forgot. Necrolord_Bob’s response ? “Priest! Priest of the holy temple of BOOM!!” How can you not love that? When Cataclysm hit, I wound up rolling that Goblin priest, and not just for the explosions or the Low-Level Tank Project . The more I thought about Necrolord_Bob’s spirit of Goblinish insouciance, the more it occurred to me that a Goblin priest with a mercenary approach to, say, health care would be marvelous to play: Nearby player : Hey, would you mind getting this disease off me? Goblin priest : Pre-existing condition. But I digress. Bringing us back to the present: I am not disposed to like the monk class, regardless of how well-designed it might be. They will wear leather and they will steal all the gear that druids would have wanted to roll on, and I am terrified that they will infest leveling groups in the same fashion that death knights infest Outland 5-mans. This pains me, and yet … somehow I feel they are destined to be kind of badass. So tell me, readers: Are you going to play a monk, and why?
