Dwarfs can flip. Class determines movement not race.

Just because you're a human doesn't mean you can run 50 miles, just because your a dwarf doesn't mean you mine rock n stone, just because your an elf doesn't mean you love trees.

Animations should not depend on the race but on the class.

For example, a rogue/X or ranger/X dwarf would likely be capable of flips.

Contrarily a tank ought to be unable to do a flip.

I imagine the tank like a body builder, and a rogue like a gymnast, can some gymnast lift a lot of weight? sure, and some body builders can do a flip, but generally speaking if you apply a theme to each a tank cannot flip and a rogue can.

I have no idea if this would be a significant change back end, since I don't know how you guys rigged the model animations, if the animations are not race restricted then technically speaking you would still be separating the total animations into 8 categories like you were before with the 8 primary races. (Tulnar excluded)

Additionally this might actually provide another avenue of visual progression, a tank/rogue or rogue/tank (Shadow guardian or Night shield) might flip but a tank itself could not.

Just an idea, thoughts?

Hoping this gets implemented in a future expansion. When they implement combo trees.

In addition to "toss" I'd like to see "footstool" and "belly bounce".

Mmos should have race locked classes.
Dark Elf Paladins and Elven Warlocks... flippy Dwarves and halfling warriors with greatswords.
All seem out of place.

I want an Option where we can "shave" the Dwarf - (skinning would be a bit to much) - and sell the attained Beard like a Wig.

We could use it to shame a knocked out/killed (

) Dwarf. And then frame some Elves by secretely smuggling the taken Beards into their Belongings. Inciting one Hell of a Race-War between Dwarves and Elves because of a Grudge.

Joking obviously. After all, on Death everyone turns into a tiny, smoldering Pile of Ash.

but imagine You could take "Race/racial Trinkets/Trophies" from slain Enemies.

The most macabre Players would put these Trophies everywhere into their Homes and/or on their Freeholds.

Some Savagery and Barbarism is always good Sport for PvP.

Oh no. Not the fated front flip. No warriors in history flipped forwards or backwards. Still don't understand the fascination. 🚬

False according to Chatgpt!

Around a handful of Months ago or so - > in Worst of Warcraft in the Tunnel (Alliance) of the Battleground Alterac Valley short before the Start of the Battleground and the Gate going up to let the Participants storm into the BG,

i saw a Dwarf that looked COOL. AS. HELL. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He has blonde Hair curled like Vikinger into Dreadlocks,
plus very paramilitary-looking Armor that looked like reinforced Leather and kinda dark like Tol'Barad Armors from Cataclysm,

plus a freakin METAL. AS. FXXX. looking Crossbow on his back. ( Yes, he was the Hunter Class ).

He had the cool Wildhammer-Tattoo's, (Blue)
and looked overall so goddamn cool i just can not forget about him. Sadly i missed the Opportunity to make a Screenshot, just because i was so much in Awe.

That Style was just badass.

I want Argents (Tank/Bard) and Sirens (Bard/Tank) to be able to dance and flip.

I wouldn`t mind seeing each class having a class-specific unique movement that no other class can do!
