In celebration of our new neighbors I have been struck with the concept for the next big theme SG: WoW in CoX! No Supergroup Uniforms or name formulas on this one, just take a WoW character/concept and make it in CoX.
Suggested powersets (this would be a heroside thing):
Weapons sets; Archery, Axe, Mace, Broadsword or Katana
"Magic" sets; Fire, Ice, Dark (which I seem to recall from my own short time in WoW...do they have storm/elec/etc mages? I don't know)
Assualt Rifle might work for dwarves, especially with a focus on the shotgun shots.
Stone melee for the giant mallet.
Gotta have healr, so Empathy
Probably other stuff I haven't thought of
I'm sure everyone knows what Warcraft races look like, but if you don't, here's a link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanoid_Races_in_the_Warcraft_universe
Note: Does not have to be a player race from WoW! If you can make yourself a Panderan, then by god you do that.
Figure I'd be up for starting a team around 7 EST tomorrow, though feel free to start characters up and get them through the tutorial before then.
Also, if any WoWers might want to get in on this
I have CoX trials

Comin' through with the converting. Hi5.
Shamans with Lightning Bolt/Chain Lightning is the closest to that. Druids get Hurricane, too.
+1 Nerd.
Hunters would use guns and pets
Mages use Arcane, Fire and Ice Magic.
Warlocks use debuffs via shadow magic and fire magic
Priests heal with holy magic and hurt with shadow magic
Paladins hit with maces, heal with holy magic, or tank with sword and board
Warriors use big melee weapons and big armor
Shaman use nature magic to heal and damage
Rogues use knives, stealth, and sneaky crap
Druids use claws to hurt and nature to heal
I'd get in on a trial with this if I wasn't on a super shitty computer.
This is gold
It comes from wearing my favorite Pink Floyd t-shirt. The shirt itself isn't nerdy, but has become infused with the essence of nerd from being worn so much, especially to my comic shop.
You just dinged on a WoW stereotype... the Night Elf Hunter named some variation of "Legolas" (LeggomyEggolas ) that refuses to use guns because "LEGOLAS USES A BOW!!1!11elevens"
Hunters can use bows, guns, etc.
Nope. They don't even get a bonus to bows; trolls do :P
The old manual? It never got updated from beta either.
- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (2017, colorized)
I'd assume Virtue, but want to be sure before I clear a slot out.
Yeah, my manual still says Dwarves can be Mages. If only, if only...
I might be up for this, but, I would need a trial key so if there any left over toss one over.

You should use one of the free trial codes to give it a try once i10 comes out. Rikti Invasion the Second. Here is a fan made trailer for it.
I'll have to think long and hard about deleting someone to make this, especially on Virtue where my 12 slots are all used up.
Nah, not ready yet, maybe the next time NCsoft/Cryptic sends me an email telling me there is a free weekend I will actually download the game and give it a try for the weekend.
But still pretty busy with WoW stuff so perhaps not.
I would just like to see some screenshots of what CoH people think of when they think of WoW characters.

Edit: Just a heads up, it is a little spoilery.
And just noticed that Seg beat me in posting it. Second place for me!
Make another Warshade, but try to pattern it after a Draenei Shadow Priest.
Well, a real purist looking to recreate a shaman in CoH would go with an Empathy/Electric Blast defender. But he'd only take Charged Bolts. We can't have various lightning attacks looking different or anything. That wouldn't be very WoW-like. :P
Empathy/Dark Blast would make a good stand-in for a shadow priest, too, I think.
Someone can hook you up with a free trial. Not me, I ran out, but someone out there can do it.
Wait, actually, try using this link. Let us know if it works.
The woman is included in the pic for scale.
Not a playable race, but very very nice.
Right now we got the ogre, a pandaren scrapper, and a night elf mage/blaster.
NE can't be mages :P That's a big no-no from a lore standpoint.
If you had made a Blood Elf it would have been fine.
So he only kinda counts as a pandaren

Not enough robe variety for my tastes, but I did what I could.
Hi-yah! Ho-zah! Ha-ha! Take that! And that! I bring Pandamonium!
