[@thenerdbeast7375]

Ah the Dwarven Hunter, probably the most iconic race/class combination. So much so that the first character ever shown in a wow cinematic is a dwarf hunter and they use it in more ads for the game than any other.

[@chillystudios163]

my first charachter was a dwarven hunter

[@thelichking9000]

Male Dwarf names could be like Adrik, Olaf, Berend, Darrak, Fargrim, Orsik and Baern. Female Dwarf names could be like Artin, Torbera, Helja, Olga, Kathra, Diesa and Eldeth Their last names could be Family names (Brawnanvil, Forgekeep, Malthin, Soldorak, Belindorn) or they are made from accomplishments, like Adrik Battleborn(because he once battled an army of goblins for hours). If you ask me, Dwarves are the best race in all of Azeroth! Great video Doron like always :-)

[@admiralandersen]

Dwarf women ARE the pinnacle of beauty!

[@jessicadiaz2503]

Yay! :D

[@jeshirekitenkatt1212]

With or without beards!

[@fphanvonvanguards248]

Lars Hammer Andersen nice joke

[@mcgoo721]

ngl the new models kind of are. They certainly win best hair ha

[@TheBoxingCannabyte]

Dwarves are nearly as strong as Taurens, and are tougher! Dwarves FTW! :D Also you can RP dwarves that don't need to be cliched drunken irishmen :P But great video!

[@SomsGames]

Joe Cannabyte actually dwarfs have a scottish accent

[@immunglobuling8777]

More like germans

[@jerichostern9290]

I've always been into rp in video games, but I didn't realize just how many other people were too until I started playing wow

[@looka698]

You forgot about the Rogues. I think dwarves make great rogues since they are small and fast, but still really strong when it comes to melee combat.

[@druidlololol]

Luka Petrović My main is a dwarf rogue. High five!

[@carmend1665]

I feel like I dont actually learn anything from these videos. he claims the race either has honor or doesn't, has technology or doesn't, and then spends the remaining 20 minutes stressing like he can't say everything he wants to say

[@GoblinLord]

I figure Dwarven Rogues being like the muscle of a thieves' guild, like Dirge from Skyrim

[@ShadesApeDJansu]

【Light Head Finns】"Capital of Irelaland" Nice way to translate Ironforge Tube xD

[@beerkenstein]

Very nicely done video, as every bits of lore and info is summed up in one place. Means great help for starting the game. - A newcomer in wow.

[@phlyislyfe8130]

I chose a rouge for my dwarf but i act like a archeologist

[@BasedPeter]

Actually Dun Morogh is one of favourite zones. Why? Because of the scottish name: Dan Maro! Try to say Dun Morogh like Moira, in a scottish accent. So much fun!

[@bartoszn1609]

Duon Moroh!!! Thats how it sounds when moira says it

[@Blazingwheel]

I think Dwarf Rogue is a perfect fit that is rarely used. They're short, like engi, explosions, have a treasure finding racial, I think it just all fits perfectly, just so rare for some reason.

[@poligrant5152]

Maybe because dwarfs are pretty bulky and most people that play rogues stereotype them with "agile and lean" classes like void elves, blood elves. even tho a dwarf rogue looks dope.

[@BasedPeter]

Architecture?

[@Doronsmovies]

I know lol, I wrote archeology on the screen. Editing mistake. :D

[@BasedPeter]

LOWL!

[@Martin-vh3ei]

Great Guide! I would love a Elf guide (dudu)

[@qienna6677]

I would love a guide to Night Elves. I find them rather difficult to get into, I'm thinking of race changing my Nelf.

[@VintageNarwhal]

Can I just talk like a dwarf from Warhammer?

[@Lupinemancer87]

He didn't try to summon Ragnaros, it was an accident!

[@simonwilliamnoelmurray9179]

That's not true, he summoned Ragnaros to protect his people

[@sumerian88]

You forgot the mages and warlocks. The Dark Iron have a strong connection with using fire magic and summoning powerful entities (like Ragnaros). But it would definetely be difficult to roleplay.

[@lillapipet]

My dwarf is named Putbeerhere... xD

[@driftingswordsmanzer]

I like that name very clever! :)

[@driftingswordsmanzer]

Pederslm I like that name too. :)

[@gekkophie]

Alcohol? Time to make a Brewmaster Monk! XD

[@VijoPlays]

Woman - Lass is the correct spelling, since you have to write correctly while rping Man - Lad Men - Lads other than that thanks, just a little misspell @lass, but everybody makes mistakes, and maybe im wrong at this one, but the word "lasse" isnt really in my dictionary, if im wrong im sincerely sorry and thanks for helping me out with that^^ i didnt really knew how to speak "dwarfish" and thats all i wanted to know :D

[@xGaMac97]

Yea, this kind of stuff comes easy to me as I am Scottish IRL. RPing Dwarves is easy for me. I would assume a lot of "Dwarfish" is similar to Scottish slang, or by extension, Gaelic.

[@TyrusDash]

You didn't do Rogue? The class I am looking to make as a Dwarf >.>

[@unpocodetequila]

Yap, I'm Rogue too. Where's rogue RP tips? :(

[@TyrusDash]

***** How the hell not? :O

[@doublebassbeatdown]

TyrusDash Id almost think that it'll be exclusive to Dark Irons.

[@BaronBuddy]

TyrusDash A dwarf rogue (talking 'bout Bronzebard now) will probably be a social outcast, I reckon. Thiefs and skulkers, the bronzebeard have no culture of assasination (as far as I am aware). However, with the connection to Stormwind (S:7 especially), I assume the rogue-culture grows(spies, agents, assassins, thiefs, etc etc). However, I have always imagined (therefore it being my own interpretation of the situation) bronzebear rogues as dwarves that kind of shy away from standard dwarf culture(as I began it all with: they're probaly social outcasts, possibly by their own making). Hope it helps ... :D

[@VintageNarwhal]

BaronBuddy very well thought out and worded. I agree

[@brendanhunter8771]

Haha first view and first comment love the videos came them up ;) need to HS again some time :)

[@InfusionTheory]

I named my dwarf warrior Olfrid, is that any good?

[@FatrickAteman]

Tyler Jeffers yeah good name :)

[@bundrurschmiedefaust4250]

Tyler Jeffers My Dwarf has the Names Torindil,Bundrur

[@Ghost1170]

LarsiBoyy Mine's Bumbasher, do I win?

[@rupe553]

My shaman is called biggiebeard

[@aHeadshott]

+Tyler Jeffers I saw one named Bronzebottom

[@Wavorn100]

There is an add-on called tongues to help you with talking.

[@keyan1295]

This may sound like a stupid question, but do u play warcraft too?

[@lrd.suckme4513]

*YAR YAR HUMP HUMP* "DON'T RUN LASS, THAR GRATE GEDRAN AR HEER TA' PLEEZ YAR!"

[@DBeno]

Do Gnomes next please. :)

[@TheAaltje23]

Beastmaster Grey Greyhammer SIA Mercenary from the Clans of Khaz Modan. (Defias Brotherhood). Join!

[@LightningDragonGamer]

I hope in wod they add new skins like black for dwarves and orc (I wanna play a dragonmaw orc!) and such. Could you do Tauren next?

[@Doronsmovies]

That's the plan. Tauren rp guide should be out in about a week hopefully. Also yeah I know would be great, so you can distinguish from which clan you are from easily. :D

[@devonbrown7662]

I don't believe Dragonmaw have a final step within the horde however the dwarves idea is malleable since the shamans are basically from the wildhammer clan.

[@LightningDragonGamer]

Devon Brown well I ment they could also add brown orcs to

[@devonbrown7662]

LightningDragonGamer That part would work.

[@XochiCh]

Actually MoP Would be the perfect time to add Purple, Brown and Black Orcs into the Horde, but now that Garrosh tried to kill everyone, I dont think Purple and Brown orcs are going to join the Horde, maybe Brown Orcs. Non-evil Red orcs are so rare in the Horde, mostly retired Soldiers from the Dark portal or Thrallmar villagers but its impossible to get non evil Red Orcs in the Horde. Also, Dark Iron and Wildhammers may or may not become playable in WoD

[@setbackstreaming1214]

what about the rogue??

[@dimitarhristov7274]

tauren pls

[@brendanhunter8771]

Try night elf or blood elf role play lol :)

[@Wavorn100]

Gun a melee weapon? If you say so....

[@kekistanikekfrog7051]

I was the first and last Skyrim on WOW I was a pretty nooby player too had a lot of fun, founded 3 guilds that actually went on to become major guilds. Because I passed them on to other players over time. I am now Mithrilaxe on Tich!

[@kekistanikekfrog7051]

I also know Swifty he gave me some training in PVP.

[@kekistanikekfrog7051]

Been playing since Vanilla and I LOVE roleplaying Dwaves in BG's and Dungeons lol yes I am a silly troll....

[@LilPerry1990]

Named my dwarf Lighthammer He's a paladin couldn't have picked a better name.

[@tangofett4065]

Awesome name. My Dwarf Paladin is named “Dawnhammer”. Been playing him since vanilla

[@mikemurdoch9653]

Should name your dwarf, drunkass

[@Sututiv]

what if my dwarf is a brewmaster monk?

[@TheChillearyx]

tauren would be a cool video

[@kianmislang6537]

My Dwarf name is Draktharr Thorel

[@Martin-vh3ei]

Draktharr sounds like an Orcish name. But I like Thorel althought it should be the first name.

[@fila365]

My kind of people!

[@amdxzg]

where dornsmovies is from?

[@countdooku4645]

amdxzg serbia

[@HidendraGhost]

Now

[@shadowsidhe]

You are also going to make RP guide on the classes in Wow or no?

[@Doronsmovies]

Well I pretty much cover the classes in the race guides although not in full detail.

[@shadowsidhe]

Doronsmovies Okay. the reason why I asked is I want to know how RP to a orc Death Knight and forming lore for a basic DK.

[@neurohackstv5723]

I am going to be an engineer

[@snakems6936]

Could do worgen next

[@Jens26502]

Wasn't it Magni that led the expidition to Northrend?

[@GreenClaw100]

Muradin Bronzebeard...

[@TheOneshotxd]

can we do tauren next

[@Doronsmovies]

Yeah, taurens are planned next. :)

[@TheCrazyDcoolest]

Will pandaren be coming up soon?

[@farisadas100]

THERE JUST PANDAS KICKING BUTT

[@TheCrazyDcoolest]

faris adas Your point?

[@trev2002k]

I'm a dwarf warrior on the stormwind guard.

[@farisadas100]

LOL i think i saw u whats ur IGN?

[@trev2002k]

No...

[@seankang3166]

I'm also a Dwarf Warrior. 😃

[@trev2002k]

I switch from him to a female human warlock now. Getting lots of gold from her. ;)

[@seankang3166]

Nooooooooo switch it back 😢😢😢

[@admiralandersen]

And all of that...

[@khaz1568]

What about a Wildhammer dwarven paladin?

[@bundrurschmiedefaust4250]

Talendril Wildhammer Paladins don't exist the wildhammer don't like the holy light they favoruit the natur (schamen and Druid)

[@Direwoof]

+Hana Sehic Eventually they will be. And night elves will be paladins.

[@dovahbrewer]

belfs?

[@murduinmonk6449]

I have a question is it possible for a Dwarf to be born in grizzly hills?

[@phlyislyfe8130]

Maybe

[@gwynedd8179]

Muradin Bronzebeard led an expedition into Northrend 16 years ago. As far as we know that's the first time any Dwarves could've settled/have children in Grizzly Hills Since Dwarves have longer lifespans than Humans, only become adults at 40, any Dwarves born in Grizzly Hills would still be children at the moment.

[@5671Dillon]

My character name is Baigh. He's a drawf warrior.. I hope thats sorta okay xD

[@Joggemand]

and all of that

[@superwowman100]

Goblins. They seem like a very hard race to RP due to their nature and how hard it would be to play any class as a goblin because of that (save for maybe warlock and rogue). Especially a Goblin Shaman.

[@Martin-vh3ei]

goblin shamans are bullshit for rp...shamans are usually pretty spiritual and goblins are more funny and greedy

[@superwowman100]

Martin Mongo Well actually, they aren't bullshit, they work, it's just really hard since they aren't the traditional shamans. With their selfishness, greed, and inventive nature, Goblin shamans usually use the elements as a part of their grandiose schemes, which usually has an end goal of profit or fame and tend to backfire on them. This type of behavior usually upsets shaman of other races, so a goblin shaman making others angry (including the elements themselves) is perfectly in character. A good examples of the Goblin shaman would be "The Great" Sambino in Vashj'ir who customizes a drill on his totem to excavate underwater ore for profit, which ends up angering the sea life. Another example would be Initiate Goldmine who exploits the fire elemental bound to him by killing it to take his heart for some explosive material in Deepholm, then having said fire elemental going rogue and attempting to take revenge on Goldmine later on in The Twilight Highlands

[@Martin-vh3ei]

i still think that shaman goblins are mistakes... every shaman race has a decent backstory why they got it... orcs, tauren and trolls are just a shaman culture, draeneis got it from a ex paladin who tried to talk to the light and instead found the elements, the dwarfs have the shamanistic wildhammers

[@superwowman100]

Martin Mongo Goblins don't have much of a backstory in general. They've always been mercenaries or working just profiting off of the war effort between the Horde and Alliance. The Bilgewater Cartel (playable goblin's faction) has even less backstory, and the lore that's there is really shallow. They were happy on their island, out-scamming eachother, but then their island got destroyed, so the moved to another island, then got rescued by Thrall and joined the Horde. The end. Atleast Steamwheedle Cartel (neutral gobbies) have some more lore.

[@posey9573]

Martin R I don't know much about WoW but can't you just use the "All goblins are individuals and this one just happens to not be greedy" excuse?

[@SanTa06660]

hi i used your video on my reddit chanel www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfDwarfcraft/ for more info and art about dwarfs, if there are other video's that you recomend that i can link i'll gladly have a look at them.

[@ethringironhide2631]

I play a dwarf shaman named Bombur lol

[@lazypanda78]

I named mine Furyhammer, is that good? XD

[@keifermcpot4392]

+Terrorblade i already know your a dota player :P furyhammer is an awsome name " SO YOUR THE ONE WHO TOOK THAT NAME :@' named mine cleaver

[@lazypanda78]

+Abed Assry haha yeah, I used to play DotA, nice dwarf name!

[@RKS0008]

It's interesting how much Dwarves are the only ones who compare their women's beauty with those of other races (humans, for example) while no other race does that. Like no Orc complains their females are not so elegant as the blood elf ones. It seems only the dwarves do not have some in-race exclusive standarts (I'm not saying there aren't other many examples of different-race relationships, I'm just saying dwarves are the only ones to take this to an extreme).

[@xiNerdLordix]

warriors cant even use guns now wtf WHYYYY

[@zemorph42]

All the warrior abilities are specifically for melee combat; why would one even want to use a gun? I know I'm late, but I'm curious.

[@dfasdfasdf3656]

zemorph42 It's called RP...

[@zemorph42]

dfasdf asdf There's still bows.

[@zhjnlive5686]

I'm Scandinavian and the Dwarfs resemble Vikings and Scottish clans/tribes but talk like Irish culturally though Vikings

[@thelichking9000]

Male Dwarf names could be like Adrik, Olaf, Berend, Darrak, Fargrim, Orsik and Baern. Female Dwarf names could be like Artin, Torbera, Helja, Olga, Kathra, Diesa and Eldeth Their last names could be Family names (Brawnanvil, Forgekeep, Malthin, Soldorak, Belindorn) or they are made from accomplishments, like Adrik Battleborn(because he once battled an army of goblins for hours). If you ask me, Dwarves are the best race in all of Azeroth! Great video Doron like always :-)
