I wouldn't have so easily glossed over the Draenei Hunters seeing in warlords they brought the Rangari into the limelight described as 'the eyes of the prophet' and the Exarch. For all we know they could have been some super secret organisation within Draenei culture all along, akin to Vol'jin's Shadow Hunters, within our own version of Azeroth and its timeline.
This is my backstory for Dreanei Shaman: Archonix was born on Dreanor. He was determined to become vindicator like his father, when he will grove up. When Orcs atacked Shattrath, his father stayed in city to fight Orcs, alongside other Dreanei. He,his mother and other refugees were escorted by Maraad to safety. If you saw Blizzard's series Lords of war, you might know that Maraad was blinded by his anger and thirst for vengence. He ran away to fight Orcs and promised to Archonix and others that the path is safe and l light will protect them. But the path wasn't safe and bloodhthirsty Orcs slaughtered all refugees except Archonix, who managed to escape and catch up to other Dreanei. He started to hate the light because his parents both died and light didn't protected them. Then, Farseer Nobundo, friend of his father arived and showed shamanism to other Dreanei. Archonix, still hating light was basicly one of first Dreanei shamans. I am still working on that, what do you guys think about it ?
Eduard Lila I actually quite like the starting zone, though it's mainly for the story that is presented there... the quests themselves are actually quite boring.
I play a Draenei mage on an RP server, and I usually see people disliking the current male character model, and yeah there are some things I don't like about it, like how the legs disappear if you wear a robe and the feet are just kind of attached to nothing. The new one looks a lot better though.
For hunters, you could play something like the Rangari from WoD, which are like an ancient order of elite Draenei Rangers. They are sort of like the Draenei version of night Elf sentinels, except Rangari are kind of a discontinued thing since Draenor.
We have to mention that a draeneï warrior could be called a Peacekeeper and with WoD we have a new draenei faction : the Rangaris, who are actually "The eyes of the Prophet" and a sort of SI:7 for the draenei on Draenor, so you could play a Hunter or a Rogue and be a rangaris. But be careful, the rangaris are loyal to the prophet but they are supporters of a new way of life for the draenei in respect with the world (or wild world) where they are, for exemple the rangaris are opposed to recreate the Argus civilisation in Draenor if the crystals (a major part of the Argus technology) disturbs the wildlife of this planet...
You neglected to mention then auchenai when you were talking about priests. It's totally possible to play a priest, specifically a shadow priest, that is or was a part of what went down in Auchindoun. Another thing, you should have made time to talk about the shaman. According to some quest text from NPCs on Azuremyst, shamanism and the broken aren't really widely accepted (at least during the time of TBC, might have changed during Cata) since it's an orcish art/the broken are without the Light. Otherwise the guide is solid for the basics. I roleplay a draenei and liked what I saw.
Devon Brown Not that much, they have a very different approach of technology so you can't treat them the same way : Goblins are more used to make quantity than quality : they create with the optic of profit and are relying a lot on luck, they don't care so much about safety. Gnomes on the contrary over-work their creations by long periods of theorization and design, so they do few but do it well. The origins of both races explains well the source of their logics : Goblins started engineering because they were weak and couldn't stand by strengh against trolls, but only Kaja'mite's intelligence buff could make them realize that. So all the things they do is made in a short-term perspective : They don't care about after-effects such as pollution or penury, even if it's goblin inevitable fate to become stupid again. Moreover it's often made for selfish uses, every goblin for himself. On the other hand, gnomes are originated from machines serving the titans. So while other species are naturally emotional, gnomes are naturaly purely logical. They create machines because they have to, and these are supposed to last (since Mechagnomes were immortal beings) and protect the world. That's why they will make inventions more suited to the collectivity such as trams when the goblins would make a road with cars. All that to say, no they need to be treated seperately, or at least opposed to each other.
Velen you draenei Velen are Draenei Velen beautiful Draenei Velen just Draenei Velen the Draenei Velen way Draenei Velen you Draenei Velen are Draenei (Look at the second word on all of them! :D)
In my opinion you maybe should put some time about how you are roleplaying in social. Like: How do you talk, the use of Can't or can not. Maybe get some info how they like the other races etcetc.
+ZeD F**k wouldn't be a word because it came around due to circumstances in middle times referencing an acronym. A** and b***h have been confirmed to be words in the lore. I would keep it safe and only use the former 2.
Hey all! Sorry if this has already been said in the comments, I'm just doing my part to help others. Argus is, at least I am most certain of, now the main base for the Legion. Of course this may or may not necessarily be known to your character, I guess that would be a player's personal choice. Elderly Draenei would know more than younger etcetera.
Maybe when this is finished You could make a playlist for both factions (and deathknights) or just a video that shows the faction list from the character creation screen with annotations to each video?
+Kagamine Len You can do that, yes, but you should go deeply into the Auchenai lore for that. The quests in Talador and the ones in Terokkar forest are a good starting point.
Im just wondering, how does the Draenei feel towards the tauren? I mean the draenei and the tauren seem pretty similair when it comes to their peaceful ways and such.
I think its kinda like the real world for them, just like you see here that people are warring over religion, maybe the tauren and draenei both wont get along cuz of different religions (the naaru for the draenei and the earth mother for the tauren)
I have a vindicator who is highly aggressive towards shadow wielders and anything that the light may consider 'evil'. He has unchanging opinions, and often gets into fights an arguments with groups of 5-6 people, standing his ground.
Some may, but the majority is English, because they were humans once and the humans are just regular fantasy humans based on the English language. That's like saying since Grom has a slavic root in his name, must mean that all orcs are called like that, even though it's not the case. :D
My hunter is a former orcish soldier who did a lot of bad things when he was a soldier and now he is older and wiser and regrets his violent past to a degree, only does missions that he believes in and never attacks people first unless he has a mission.
Fun Fact: Female Humans dislike Female Draenei because Male Humans find them 'Exotic". Confirmed by Blizz xD
lol best friend of my draenei character was a human female xD I think she was after my draenei!
So true female draenei are hot.
Draeneis are the best paladins
Without the s.

Ahhh... Exodar, my favourite capital city...

A few years late but very nice
Why are the Draenei so hated by many players? Its my favorite race :|
Just because they aren't vanilla / classic ?
Not that , but the starting zone is extremely boring . It's a major pain for me to level a draenei .
Eduard Lila I actually quite like the starting zone, though it's mainly for the story that is presented there... the quests themselves are actually quite boring.

Threnan17 Yeah , maybe the quests , or the zone.
Garbaz Its coz others are jelly for their muscles
Great guide, and I love your videos on my favourite race, the Draenei! The accent is just perfect :)
FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!!!!!, oops i mean argus....
Russia? Nope, an India more likely, space, hindu-octogoat.
Piotrek Zając dude, their accent is obviously russian
Accent may be simmilar - but rest is closer to hindi. So, hindu-russian space octogoat. Damn, sounds weirder, than it allready is...
NecroKnight It is known to be russian, although recently they started doing sort of an indian accent.
You can get free gold here worldofwarcraftgold.tk it's awesome!

I used the Asterix style of punny names for my Draenei. Can’t go wrong with something like that.

Very nice guide. However I would spend more time on shamans because story of Nobundo is very interesting.
They kind of remind of of Membari from Babylon 5, I wouldn't be surprised if that was an inspiration.
I always read Exodar but you say Exadar I think I prefer Exadar! and i'd like to see Goblins then Gnomes
I'm saying Exodar, probably not so clearly. :D
Goblins and Gnomes could be similar. Especially with that serious to cartoony personalities and similar inspiration for names.
Devon Brown Not that much, they have a very different approach of technology so you can't treat them the same way : Goblins are more used to make quantity than quality : they create with the optic of profit and are relying a lot on luck, they don't care so much about safety.

Velen you draenei
Velen are Draenei
Velen beautiful Draenei
Velen just Draenei
Velen the Draenei
Velen way Draenei
Velen you Draenei
Velen are Draenei
(Look at the second word on all of them! :D)
Gurl, you don't know me, i don't know you. But still thou managed to freak me out.
In my opinion you maybe should put some time about how you are roleplaying in social. Like: How do you talk, the use of Can't or can not. Maybe get some info how they like the other races etcetc.
To be honest, it's hard to say what one can or can't say (except maybe cursing, like "fuck".. don't even think that's a word in Azeroth).
+ZeD F**k wouldn't be a word because it came around due to circumstances in middle times referencing an acronym. A** and b***h have been confirmed to be words in the lore. I would keep it safe and only use the former 2.
Boomstick
You don't have to censor yourself on youtube, man.
+ZeD Force of habit.
Hey all! Sorry if this has already been said in the comments, I'm just doing my part to help others.
Argus is, at least I am most certain of, now the main base for the Legion. Of course this may or may not necessarily be known to your character, I guess that would be a player's personal choice. Elderly Draenei would know more than younger etcetera.
Maybe when this is finished You could make a playlist for both factions (and deathknights) or just a video that shows the faction list from the character creation screen with annotations to each video?
Yeah good idea, like a video menu. Might do it in the future, right now I have a playlist, but I'll see about it once I finish everything. :)
Vellen is 40,000 years old so I would assume as he was one of the three Eredar leaders that, that is about how old their species is.
For Shadow Priests couldn't you rp them as soulbinders for the auchenai?
+Kagamine Len You can do that, yes, but you should go deeply into the Auchenai lore for that. The quests in Talador and the ones in Terokkar forest are a good starting point.
Thanks for the info, it will help with my rp.
what do you think about draener hunter? im not a rper but i like to chose my race a bit lorewise
great vid as always, but i myself would love if they were bit longer and u covered all classes in them :)
also maybe gnomes next?
I named mine Space Goat
Well i found a man that stoll the name of my space goat
Im just wondering, how does the Draenei feel towards the tauren? I mean the draenei and the tauren seem pretty similair when it comes to their peaceful ways and such.
And hooves.
I think its kinda like the real world for them, just like you see here that people are warring over religion, maybe the tauren and draenei both wont get along cuz of different religions (the naaru for the draenei and the earth mother for the tauren)
Are you ever going to make an rp guide specifically for monks? I noticed that you haven't covered that class in any of the rp guides.
1 thing i find funny is i don`t roleplay but i still find these vids interesting!
p.s. i love ur axccent!!!
same
Can you make a how to role-play a Tauren
Sorry meant blood elf
Shaman is farseer
Monk possibly form of auchanai
Comment below if any errors or any untouched race combos
Where is shammy?
Thank you soooo much for this :3
It took them 25,000 years to go from Argus to Draenor I think
can we do goblins next now? PLZ
Doron can you pls do Night Elves next? :)
What was the song at the end of the video! It sounded awesome! I cheeked the link but coulden't find it :c
+Regality tL It's called epic battle 1 on audio micro. Not sure if its still around I downloaded it from there years ago.
Hey Doron, can you tell me, in private of course, which server you're on? I'd like to talk to you about some lore questions.
Argentspear He plays Argent Dawn.
if you want to rp an evil one you can choose a shadow priest
I was wondering what a 25 year old Human years is in Draenei years?
Im gonna have to say 25
Please do pandaren!
What were the shoulders on your priest?
I have a vindicator who is highly aggressive towards shadow wielders and anything that the light may consider 'evil'. He has unchanging opinions, and often gets into fights an arguments with groups of 5-6 people, standing his ground.
Do a goblin history :D
JARAXXUSONEONE is fine name too.
Can we get new ones?
How to roleplay all the classes :D
Can you plz do humans or belfs
Actually your wrong and def need to update this video. As of 7.3.5 the Draenei/Lightforged are the most technologically advanced playable race.
anybody has any idea on RP male draenei mage?
How do I rp my monk?
Can be shadow man'ari
Yea, I RP as Eredar Priestess...Paladins want to kill her, both because of her being very "shadowy" and also very rude. :/
Ton of fun!
You didn't say anything about hunters :\
Forsaken still has german names.
Some may, but the majority is English, because they were humans once and the humans are just regular fantasy humans based on the English language. That's like saying since Grom has a slavic root in his name, must mean that all orcs are called like that, even though it's not the case. :D
Doronsmovies Just joking ;)
any ideas on doing a hunter In rp?
Spooke Scary 1 year has passed and this man got no reply
My hunter is a former orcish soldier who did a lot of bad things when he was a soldier and now he is older and wiser and regrets his violent past to a degree, only does missions that he believes in and never attacks people first unless he has a mission.
Goblin/Gnome
Where are you from Doron?
Serbia.
What do you think about this wowgoldcheat.tk imo it looks good plus i could use some gold!
Carlo Munson you can get in troble for doing that (buying gold)
Carlo Munson you wilk get banned plus it puts your account in danger
Doronsmovies Hi neighbor
Yours videos, are soo awesome...but i got some problems to understand you :(
Thanks. I'm working on it still, plus I have subtitles in some videos still haven't added them to all of them.
+Alessandro Berti You watched a video highlighting a race with a thick accent though xDDD
Do gnomes!
thx
Wait, humans are racists? 🤤 that's impossible 😒
Can you stop saying 'Now' every second sentence, it's a bit annoying :\
Super helpful!
