Quiz of the Week: Take it!

So, you THINK you know what faction/gender/class/spec combo is best for you? Well I’ve got 3 words for you: YOU ARE DEAD WRONG! All the answers are here in the new class optimizer quiz. Inspired by the most insightful magazine quizzes in the world, I’m going to take you on a ride through your subconscious with the single goal to get you on the right track with the right faction/gender/class/spec combo for Cataclysm. So, with about as much ado as I can muster on a Friday morning, (hmm, muster, makes me think of a ham sandwich for some reason), take the quiz below, add up your score, and find the corresponding match in the table at the end.

Our first step in the quiz is to determine whether to play Horde or Alliance, male or female.

Horde vs Alliance

-North = 1 pt
-South = 3

Did the name of your mother begin with one of the first 13 letters of the English alphabet?
-Yes = 3
-No = 7

-Yes = 1
-No = 4

RESULTS: If you scored 10 points or less, you should roll Horde. 11+ points roll Alliance.

Male vs Female

You’re in a dungeon standing before the final boss, the tank leaves the group, the healer whines about it…what do you do?
-Pull the boss = 9
-Tell healer to stop crying = 5
-Drop three fish feasts and dance until a new tank shows up = 3

RESULTS: 15 or fewer points you should roll a female character. 16+ total points you should roll a male toon.

Now with the real meat and potatoeeees, the part I know you’re eager to discover about yourself. Your class/spec combo, or that (along with your gear score and achievements) will define you to every other person on your server and in every dungeon or battleground you enter. On with the quiz.
