Breakfast Topic: That damned race/class combo you can never find

By the end of the holiday, you'll inevitably be wanting to give a fistful of something to one combo, and it sure ain't love.
For me it's the troll rogue. I swear they don't really exist, and it's just a cruel prank played on us by Blizzard. I've even gone so far as to stage a James Bondesque infiltration of the Horde district, complete with helicopters and a dashing dwarf parachuting onto rooftops. It's not that they just aren't out in public, but that they don't frickin' exist at all!
On the other hand, as a dwarf hunter, I know what it feels like to be the hunted. I do get sick of being constantly showered with petals at times. I even found myself hanging out in out of the way places and disguising myself as a ninja to avoid it. Perhaps I am someone else's troll rogue.
What race/class combo is your curse? Have you found yourself hiding from achievement seekers, and if so, how?

I was in a heroic the other night with a female Dwarf paladin. I was so surprised that I posed RPJ next to her for a screenshot.
With that having been said, I was going absolutely nuts trying to find a Blood Elf Warlock during Winter Veil. You would think it's an easy one, right? HA!

I rolled a Blood Elf Warlock just last week...

I have a female Dwarf...everything, every possible class, and the moment the change is released, my Dreanei Shammy, and my Gnome mage are turning into Dwarfs. I love the Dwarfs!

For the Noblegarden achievement, it was a pain finding a female dwarf. Fortunately, some nice person on my server made a female dwarf(can't remember which class), leveled her to 18, and got her ported to Dalaran so people could get the achievement.

I have a female dwarf of every class available at the monent, i love it! The only reason why I have a night elf and 2 gnomes is because dwarves can't be druids, mages or warlocks.

Female dwarf hunter. And when the expansion comes out, I'll be making that a female human hunter. Oh yes I will. The dwarf jokes are killing me.

Ever really seen a dwarf pally? Me neither. Come to think if it, there aren't any dwarfs at all besides hunters
Potvorka Feb 8th 2010 11:33AM
i saw one, long ago :-D
I have dwarf hunter and dwarf warrior.

there was a very nice troll rogue just standing in the Org auction house last night. Right now the only part left is gnome warlock. (I only saw one gnome and it was a mage.
But the really difficult one was in noble garden last year, female dwarf over level 18. I finally found one while waiting for an Ahune group in July...

Two words: Second Account :-D

Hmmm... Trial one? Good idea, btw!
Oni Stardust Feb 8th 2010 9:40AM
That's what I'm doing as well. It'll cover everything except the Death Knights. And seriously, how hard is it to find Human and Orc Death Knights?
Viper007Bond Feb 8th 2010 8:25AM
I'm on a server that is something like 80% Alliance. I'm going nuts trying to find 1/2 these Horde combos.
BlackTiger™ Feb 8th 2010 8:29AM
Never play on imbalanced servers! :D

Last time this happened my friend and I took our mains to the starting area of whatever type we needed, and each loged off there and created a level one toon for the other to turkey. Now that you can create opposite-faction characters on pvp servers, it's not so bad. It isn't exactly in the spirit of the achievement, but when it's the last bloody one you need...somehow I don't care so much.

Well, its easy(ish) to find a troll rogue. Im alliance and this is how it goes:
Step 1: Create and level a lvl 20 warlock;
Step 2: Get him on top of the hill behind orgrimaar;
Step 3: Get a couple of guildies to bring their LVL10 alts there for a summoning portal;
Step 4: Create a raid, summon people, specifically a mage;
Step 5: Make the mage slowfall everyone, jump down the hill and fly directly onto the rooftops of Orgimaar;
Step 6: Relog and create a horde charecter
Step 7: Spam /who troll rogue orgimaar. Write down names.
Step 8: Relog back. /tar the names. When you see someone close, then:
Step 9: Make the mage cast levitate on you again. Fly to the rogues direction. You should have a second to cast the petals;
Step 10: Die;
Step 11: ??
Step 12: PROFIT!
Yes, this is how I did it :) On Ragnaros, EU(one of the most populated servers) only 3 troll rogues available

While this is so much more complicated than just asking a friend to roll one and meet you in Ratchet, it is totally awesome.

Yep, still up to date after a year!

i remeber the hardest combo that i had to find (since i completed them all, and believe me i sighed with relief when i saw the rose petal achievement again) was anything dealing with a dam dwarf. Female dwarves don't exist, honestly no dwarf exist on my server, but my server is lucky, we get people who post in forums the time and date when all the class/race combos will be on so normally if you read forums your fine.
