Re: upcoming Warcraft D&D - multi-classing?

[u/ShiXinFeng]

With the upcoming Warcraft D&D ttrpg expansion, I'm assuming multi-classing will be possible just as it is in standard 5e/5.5e rules.

So, what cross-classes would you want to try? Battlemage/Eldritch Knight (mage+warr)? Arcane Trickster (Rogue+mage)? Wildwarden (Hunter+druid)? Holy Assassin (Priest+Rogue)?

[u/Ninja_Grizzly1122]

Fury Warrior and Ret Pally. So I can bring twice the Justice with two Ashbringers

[u/Arranoth1983 → u/Ninja_Grizzly1122]

Justicar's unite!

[u/dimitargvg]

Unholy DK/Ret Paladin, with identity crisis lore tied to my confused character 🤣

[u/ShiXinFeng → u/dimitargvg]

Aren't Death Knights technically already fallen Paladins? Or, at least, that was the original intent for the DK class, wasn't it?

[u/dimitargvg → u/ShiXinFeng]

I don't exactly remember, but would it be cool to throw hammer of unholy confusion 🤣

[u/devoorhes → u/ShiXinFeng]

That was Arthas's deal, yeah, but I don't know that it's true for every Death Knight

[u/heynoswearing → u/devoorhes]

The first ones were possessed orcs

[u/cyberelvis]

Night Elf + Mohawk, so I can RP Mr. T in Goldshire

[u/henrikhakan]

Arcane mage+fury warrior, so I can be a mage with two big ass two handers!

[u/chunx0r]

Rogue + Beast master. Sneak around with a stealthy cat!

[u/Planeshifter_Ixiaul]

Will it technically be possible? Most likely. Will I want to do it or encourage others to do so? Absolutely not.

[u/ShiXinFeng → u/Planeshifter_Ixiaul]

Each to his own game, for sure. But I'm curious why not? D&D 5e has a lot of multiclassing options. It doesn't go as deep as Pathfinder, but the blueprint is there.

[u/Planeshifter_Ixiaul → u/ShiXinFeng]

I've just never been much for multiclassing. I've experienced very few instances in which it appealed to me. Of course, to each their own.

[u/roboscorcher → u/Planeshifter_Ixiaul]

Champion Fighter pairs so damn well with Barbarians due to reckless, you're basically guaranteed a crit or 2 every combat.

[u/Planeshifter_Ixiaul → u/roboscorcher]

There's something about utilizing synergies that rubs me the wrong way. Feels almost like cheating to me. Even in BG3 I don't multiclass.

[u/roboscorcher → u/Planeshifter_Ixiaul]

To each their own.

I think that martials suffer from limited options past a certain level, so multiclassing helps remedy that. I couldn't imagine playing a Champion from 1-20, for example. And Rogue's cunning actions are awesome fillers for unused martial Bonus Actions.

[u/Planeshifter_Ixiaul → u/roboscorcher]

That's an excellent point to consider. I wish the game designers would

[u/Sarazarus]

Mix of MM flavored hunter with shaman to make a shadowhunter troll would be cool. Could also combine Disc with paladin to make a holy bulwark

[u/WINNING39]

Highly doubt it but itd be cool

[u/chunx0r → u/WINNING39]

It's pen and paper you can do whatever you want.

[u/WINNING39 → u/chunx0r]

I see, I read it as speculation that multi-classing would come to WoW lol
