Seven Dwarves
For some reason I only play classes that can be dwarves, even though only one of my characters is actually a dwarf. Thankfully I can now correct this gross oversight.
Upon reflection, that might be a coincidence.
Mu linked me to this AJ thread which details how you can click on another character as you log in and for the duration of your session you’ll be using that second character’s model. Since you choose the character you can customize exactly how they look, and unlike MPQ hacking it won’t affect other players with the same race.
Of course it’s temporary, client-side only, and it will revert if you get polymorphed or shift forms. Still, it’s a lot of fun to see how you’d look as another race. I’ve come to the conclusion that every class is improved significantly by using the male undead animations.
I was trying to convince Keys that it’s great operant conditioning for priests, since failure to Shadow Word: Death an incoming polymorph will result in you becoming a fat dwarf again. A fate worse than death! Unfortunately, SW:D breaks poly a split second after it hits, so you lose the form regardless.

In other news, they’re still trying to kill prot paladins:
- Sacred Shield: The damage absorption effect from this ability now triggers only once every 30 seconds.
- Infusion of Light: This talent now also reduces the cooldown on the effect of Sacred Shield by 12/24 seconds.
That should probably do it.
