Breakfast Topic: What class is your goblin going to be?

So, I know that I'll be rolling at least one goblin. I'm thinking a warlock and ... I have no idea. I'm running out of classes I don't already have an 80 of. But it might be fun to faction change one of my existing 80s to a goblin too. They'd be my first high-level Horde character! I never fell prey to infectious rerollbelfatosis.
So what about you guys? Excited to blaze new trails and be Kalimdor pioneers with your little green man (or woman)? What are you going to roll? Does your goblin have a backstory you're building? Let us know in the comments and in the poll below!

Where's the IDK option?

You don't answer a poll if you don't know what your answer is.
Dotixi Nov 12th 2009 8:47AM
You're right that's why all those pesky official political polls never have an undecided option...sense the sarcasm.

Where's the "Race Change to Goblin" option?
Pemberton Nov 12th 2009 9:47AM
"You don't answer a poll if you don't know what your answer is."
Amen.

@travis
Probably in the same place as the "IDK" option.

I'm with you. I have no freaking clue what my goblin is going to be, mostly because I have 10 character slots already filled up and I don't want to get rid of any of them. I might race change my shaman or something and start a goblin elsewhere so I can have the experience.

Bankalt-errrrr-yeah, bankalt
Gantrithor Nov 12th 2009 8:40AM
How could a bank alt be anything but a Goblin once cataclysm hits? I've already saved Gringott in my server :)
Jorges Nov 12th 2009 9:37AM
There's no other role for a Goblin!
Rollo Nov 12th 2009 11:14AM
Yeah, but which is the best class for a bank alt? Do you trust a rogue with your gold? Will a clumsy warrior break your fragile flasks? Tough choice...
Byron Nov 12th 2009 2:10PM
Any class w/ movement speed buff. Hunter w/ Aspect of the Cheetah, rogue w/ Sprint, Mage w/ Blink, Pally w/ Pursuit of Justice, DK w/ On a Pale Horse, etc.
Goblin hunter, rogue, or DK w/ Rocket Jump, Best Deals Anywhere, and Pack Mule should make a great bank alt.

How can you not know?! You are supposed to be planning everything ahead of time for Cataclysm!
I'm kidding of course. I'll be making a goblin warlock. Maybe a rogue later but I'd rather not be running around with the hundreds of other goblin rogues. A goblin warlock just looks badass.
Markainion Nov 12th 2009 8:06AM
Rogue! Fits there personality, also being small and having another escape mechanism, doesn't hurt either.
Dragundam Nov 12th 2009 8:05AM
I'm not sure what I'll be yet. I'm not too familiar with their lore, but I'll probably go with a class I haven't tried yet, which means I'll have to suck it up and try a cloth class (hate being squishy...)

Option 12: "Goblins are going to ruin several of my favorite zones and I hate them for that"?
Ametrine Nov 12th 2009 8:08AM
Azshara was your favorite zone?
Killchrono Nov 12th 2009 8:25AM
Azshara is very pretty, so I can understand if people like it aesthetically. But gameplay wise in its current state, it might as well be a big hole in the ground. Oh, and it has that one tower for the level 50 rogue quest.
I'm sure there'll be parts of the zone untouched so it's still be reminiscent of the original version. From what I gathered the Goblins aren't desecrating the whole zone, just an area to the south near Orgrimmar.
Psiwave Nov 12th 2009 8:38AM
That's one thing I just don't get, low level Tauren murder dozens of dwarves for simply digging a small hole to look at relics, but then they ally themselves with goblins that openly commit fully fledged geo-vandalism.
Maybe that's how bloodhoof dies, lured to an 'enviromental consultation' with goblin terraform technicians.
Killchrono Nov 12th 2009 8:50AM
@Psiwave
The thing in that particular questline is that the dwarves were digging up around ancestoral Tauren land. It's said they even killed Tauren and drove them from their homes in the midst of their digging. No-one lives in Aszhara on the other hand.
Well, apart from a couple of Naga, some hippogryphs and a blue dragon raid boss that no-one does anymore.
