[@ricksindzinski6174]

I highly recommend Druid. From time to time I mained other classes but I always came back to Druid!

[@bssniffer1337]

+Rick Sindzinski Night Elf druid is the reason I stopped playing other classes. The Night Elf setting is also very dream-like and awesome, it feels right. Had a Warrior Worgen and kind of abandoned my character after trying Druid. Heh.

[@ricksindzinski6174]

Exactly. But if I have to play Horde I always go for Trolls and Spam kalythas to be a nelf:)

[@bssniffer1337]

Rick Sindzinski Never tried that :DD Ehehe

[@WWFAttitudeEraFreak]

[@fizzytorkoal]

Can someone help me? I have a problem where i make a new character and i say to myself "im gonna get this guy to level 100. But then like 1 hour later i look at other classes and im like " ohhh i really want that class". And it keeps on going. Pls help

[@sheriffthiccos9595]

Id suggest either be a Warlock or a Healer. Warlocks can be allot of fun and being a healer just makes you feel better. Of course you can be a Demon Hunter which is kinda like a Melee Warlock(you must have a lvl70-or higher) Apart from that you can be a Paladin.

[@zombiecarnivore]

+Teodor Manolov or a warrior or maybe a Mage even a druid

[@fizzytorkoal]

lol same

[@Sagegeir]

thats because you havent found the right class for you yet

[@mulle524]

this is completely correct. i felt the same way until i played a mage. since then i now play as a warlock main with my mage as an alt, and i never have problems choosing who to play as anymore. now almost all of my other characters never get played.

[@Roxywilde82]

First class I rolled in 2005 was hunter...played all the classes and combos since then but always end up back to hunter. It's just the class I have the most fun with.

[@PotterMarauder]

I just started playing WoW a few months ago, and after trying all the classes, monk turned out to be my favorite. And it was the last class I tried because I thought I would hate it. XD

[@justin4018]

Why do I play monk? well for me to really connect and feel like I am a PART of the game rather then playing it is I need to identify with my class, I remember my first *and main* my monk, I instantly knew this was my main at level five. the first time I got three chi and laid waste to a group of starter creatures was fantastic, and it built up from that with Storm earth and fire, expel harm, defuse magic, touch of death, drinking like a fish and a master of stuns as well as good balanced DPS along with the ability to literally target three people at the same time with SEnF. ^^ I know nobody cares about this paragraph but I thought I would toss in my input.

[@peytonmann9070]

I watched this and decided to start playing wow again after 3 years. Made a Druid. I play feral and I love it. Totally back in the grind

[@Anidem9]

Personally one of my favorite class and race combos is Undead Priest. Why? Well because technically undead are a sort of unholy thing, meaning that the Light will harm them, so why is there undead priests? Well to me it seems like it's a matter of them having strong willpower to be able to overcome the pain that comes with wielding the light, and being able to utilize it despite being undead.

[@hamsterman1995]

Anidem9 if that were the case we'd have undead paladins.

[@Anidem9]

That is true. Wonder why there isn't any, I mean clearly there's priests, but no paladins... Odd.

[@user-kc2ig4wp2h]

Anidem9 Mainly because pally was brought about to the horde in BC so that horde had a pally race. This marked the first visible sign of Blizzard giving in. Sit on it and in time I'm sure everyone will be able to be anything after a few more expansions. ;D

[@iPVPTV]

+hamsterman1995 well we have tauren paladins and that makes about as much sense

[@mr.american4550]

+Anidem9 The undead priest or "cult of the forgotten shadow" was created when the forsaken found Natalie Seline books that she left behind. Lore wise, they are only shadow priests. A blue post mentioned how undead where able to wield the light through their sheer willpower (like you said) and everytime they got healed by the light, the would feel tremendous pain.. same with death knights.

[@DraphEnjoyer]

I played a hunter for years but I simply can't anymore. They're so fucking boring now because they honestly have no weaknesses anymore. You used to have put some small amount of effort into kiting something but now you just run around shooting all your abilities while being able to leap miles away from whoever is chasing you No dead zone at all, no ammo, no pet stamina/happiness, they're 100% mobile and they don't even need their pets anymore. And on top of all that they still pump out shit tons of damage. A class needs some weakness to play to make it interesting. Hunters are now just super mobile steroid pumped mages

[@Latarielle]

MrZurata Agreed. They are super boring now. They should add more interaction with the pet. The pet literally feels like a mount that runs off and helps you fight. You can't do anything with it.

[@SaiidHann]

MrZurata wtf ammo sucked ass

[@valkryry7169]

the beast You know it did, hunters are seriously under-appreciated, when I still played WoW I was a BM hunter main with all of the wotlk spirit beasts, when I raided nobody really notices the amount of cc and or damage output I had, for example freezing some mobs with freezing trap or whatever, or even slowing enemies in pvp, even now with all the changes to how the hunter mechanics work, which I actually think suck, I miss my mana :(, even though we have been seriously op at times, we have been nerfed to hell and back, and yet some of us remain top dps in heroic raids.

[@Kededian]

Brandon Van Scoy Cloud U never played other classes then hunter i suppose.

[@MrMegamario1234]

Brandon Van Scoy Cloud i completely agree with u man, hunters still have a lot of weaknesses that balance out with the other classes, but they are really fun to play, i also feel that most people who complain about hunters are just people who never really played them and have gotten killed by them a few times in PVP, people really need to stop complaining about other classes and let others enjoy them, besides, complaining about a class isn't gonna get rid of it, they are gonna stay whether people like them or not.

[@thethirdsicily4802]

I have to say, I LOVE healing and damaging, in other MMOs I am a great healer, swtor, guild wars 2, although a few of the people I raided with wanted me to only heal the tank, even though I don't do that, I prioritize the person with the least health, and if that's the wrong way, then I don't care because it has worked for me in the past and it still works for me now

[@pugler20]

tanks matter way more in wow. if the tank dies you wipe

[@thethirdsicily4802]

true, true

[@sophiejones7727]

Ok. here's the thing: in WoW every class has a decent self-heal. Furthermore: all death-attack mechanics kick in only below 40% health. Tanks need to be able to absorb massive blows, so they need to be kept at higher health than dps. What you do depends on what kind of content you're doing. Dungeons: always prioritize tanks. Dps should not be falling below 40% health in this content ever. If they are doing it consistently, then kick them from your group: as they are draining your mana and putting the whole group at risk. Fights are short in dungeons, so don't worry too much about dps health: just prevent them from being death-attacked. The only exception here is if the boss has a fixate mechanic. Always heal the person the boss has fixated on. Raids: consult with your group. You need two healers on tanks, one for each. The third healer's job is supposed to be to dispel damage over time effects, debuff the boss and heal the non-tanks. You're also emergency healer, so save your mana and have a potion handy. Keep heal over time effects up on most raid members, dispel any damage over time effects the boss puts out or any removable buffs the boss has. This requires you to stay focused and have good reflexes. Specs that do well at this are druids, disc priests, and monks. Be the person who dispels and debuffs in LFR, and you'll quickly come to the attention of a raiding guild. However, these dispel and debuff mechanics don't exist in most other MMOs, so you'll need some time to familiarize yourself with them. Practice on training dummies, quest mobs and world bosses. If you're coming from GW I'd recommend rolling a druid, as it is very similar to most GW healers in terms of playstyle. Side note: heal non-tanking paladins only if they bubble themselves. A big orange sphere will pop up around them, they will stop attacking, and have the forebearance debuff. You have fifteen seconds to heal them to 50% health. This is their panic button, and they'll only press it if they're about to die *and* out of mana. Most paladin players will actually get angry with you if you heal them otherwise, so don't waste your mana. If you see this bubble pop up on a non-paladin, then immediately give them a big heal. That should prevent people from dying in emergencies.

[@flameless4644]

First toon I had ever made was my hunter, to which I had loved over the years and had grown close to with different pets that had been at my side through all my new experiences as a wow player, from destroying the Illidan to dethroning the Lich King, and for the past few months i've had a weird distaste to mine and now realize the boredom and dissatisfaction. I couldnt find the words to explain but you hit it right on the spot, "Lacking depth and flavor to each individual specialization and the class itself" I couldn't agree more. To me I feel that the class is only a beginners guide to playing and really is in a sense. Dull.

[@luiszepeda2692]

After trying out almost all of the classes in the game I found that the monk is by far my most favorite class! Very fun to play for my type of play style and the mobility I have is really nice. I always avoided the monk because I thought for sure I would not like it, but u turned out to be my favorite. So do not be afraid to try out the classes that you think you won't like, you'd be surprised!

[@darkki94]

+Luis Zepeda i hate hunters and paladins for years do you think i should try them ?

Nice! Could you do a video on what class you think most appropriately matches a certain race? You could judge in terms of lore, looks, aesthetics and the general 'feel' in game for the combinations!

This video is really good, but could you do a new version on this video? :/

[@wesleygriffiths8089]

Ok so as a game design student, and a player of wow since vanilla, there are a few things I would like to say. First, great video as you did a quick overview on each class and got the key points for determining what to play, however I would like to clarify the order of those key points. First thing a player needs to think about is what play style do they want to play, as this will limit the options and also increase how likely they are to enjoy the game play. As you said there are many different play styles -as there are with almost all rpgs and mmos- the main play styles are healer, tank, melee damage (single target), melee damage (multi target), ranged damage (single target), ranged damage (multi target), and finally controller. If you know what you want based off that basic list you get very limited options in the game for viable classes. Secondly once you have selected your play style your role in wow is all but set in stone. Thirdly pvp vs pve, this is something that needs to be determined at different points in time based on the players personal game play experience, and by that i mean an experienced player should be thinking of this first, whereas a new player should be thinking of it as they play. Finally aesthetics -though important- should ONLY decide what class you play once the following CONDITIONS have been met - you have considered everything in making you character and you are still left with multiple classes, say I want to be a single target ranged damage dealer, and I want to be a caster, that leaves me really with mage or warlock -yes there are other classes that would work, but both of those tend to be solid choices- it is now that the condition is met to determine based on aesthetics-

[@Kristers_K]

I love any class combos other people hate, like tauren paladins/priests, non-pandaren monks, etc. Salty roleplayers will always complain, but in my eyes, every race/class combination has a place in the game, lore can be bent and molded as needed, like a chunk of soft clay..

[@boots911]

I've never have heard people say they hate tauren paladins or priest, In fact it would make since for them to be healers since they're pretty selfless and spiritually centered. But I guess lore wise they aren't really palladins or priests, they heal and fight through elemental means.. like shamans and druids.

[@Kristers_K]

Boots Actually no, similar to Night elves using the Elune, Tauren use the sunlight as their source of power, in Legion there are literally tauren ''sun priests'' in Dalaran and paladins are always known as as sunwalkers. However the source of that sunlight is still unclear, chances are it originates from Elune, hence being able to draw upon the Light.

[@boots911]

Kristers Krūka ah, I don't really know much about literal lore. Just what I can see through in game mostly when it comes to that, plus I don't play horde so I know little to nothing about taurens.

[@Kristers_K]

Boots Playing one faction for 12 years has its benefits i guess ;p Could never bear playing Alliance due to its ideology and beliefs of those races. I tend to be more of a story geek, often paying attention to details in in-game storylines. Ironically, one specific tauren paladin in Pandaria actually speaks of the ''Light'', Sunwalker Dezco, though he specifies it as from the sun, so. Nonetheless, they are much different from Alliance paladins/priests.

I've never played WoW before, and I've only just sparked an interest in it. I'm planning on getting the game (the trial first) not long from now however I don't know what class to pick. I'm a female who prefers to full on fight with enemy's outside of raids but is better at ranged attacking in raids. Any help or advice to my choice of class?

[@CosmicOnGameboy]

+Swizzabell I don't think you could go wrong with a druid. I've personally never really done much raiding, just stuck to pvp and dungeons and what not but druids are relatively easy and fun to play and are versatile.

[@aaronvandijk8181]

+Swizzabell Honestly, Shaman might be the best class for you. It has both a melee and a ranged spec for DPS as well as self healing. It has good utility for leveling and raids. It might not be the most user friendly or easiest class to play, but if you have some experience in MMORPG's, than you probably don't need a beginning class anyways.

[@arhbitionr1264]

+Swizzabell Try a druid,or hunter they are good for beggining and both in pvp or pve.But try to decide what u like more raned dps or going full on.If u would to try to play from ranged make a female human mage they are sick.

[@KlockworXMusic]

+Swizzabell - Hunter is the only ranged class that can move while attacking (generally), every other class has to be stationary while casting unless using an instant cast ability. As its been pointed out, Druids can do pretty much everything, so you can try different specs and get a feel for range dps, melee dps, healing, tanking, whatever you want. If you like range dps, Balance Druids are fun and interesting with there abilities based on cycles of moon and sun, and from what I have seen if you learn to play them well will do some of the highest dps in game currently. Fighting outside of raids for PvE you can pick really whatever you want, PvE is pretty easy and accessible to every class and spec. For PvP Rogues, Druids, Paladin, Mage, Death Knights are the classes that come to mind immediately as being strong for PvP, but really anything you want as well is doable in PvP, but warrior, warriors seem to be a bit weak at the moment in my opinion as far as PvP, but its still doable they just don't seem to be the strongest PvP class or easiest maybe. Blizzard tries to keep everything somewhat balanced and competitive, but some classes and specs will be stronger then others, and there are nerfs and buffs so nothing is set in stone, so really its hard to say what you should pick or what is best, so pick what you want to play and that is the best way to enjoy the game. You can make multiple characters so you can always make a few different ones and try them out, leveling is very fast to level 20, so even without buying, doing F2P to level 20, you can do quite quickly and get a taste of a class, as well as aspects of the game like dungeons and PvP.

[@SylvieMoon]

+Swizzabell Get a warrior, its a really fun class but you need to learn how to deal damage before you do pvp & raiding & Skrimish Ect.

[@-Miasimon]

I completely disagree on the "3 roles" idea... there's tanking, healing, and dps, sure... but we also have offhealing and offtanking.. such as, let's say your healer runs oom, an experienced ele shammy can help take some pressure off the healer until they can recover some mana.. same with a DK taking over if the tank dies, until the druid can battle rez.. they aren't efficient, but in the right hands, can save a raid from a possible wipe. Tbh, i think WoW would be better off with a proper support class or spec... where they dish out dps which gives buffs or minor healing.. like dps/heal hybrid. I can see druids having this, monks are almost there with their fistweavers.. and I can see Unholy DK sapping health to heal allies.. way too many dps classes, we need more variety

[@aneejit9079]

Miasimon I agree with you on this. just as an example, you have a 10man raid. 2 tanks 4 heals 4 dps. All can ONLY do that one roll, the group lacks flexibility if a couple of people die. But if you have a class that's not bad in 2 out of three rolls. So it would have a 50/50 heals dps spec. a 50/50 tank/heals spec and a 50/50 dps/tank spec. Not the best at any one particular role but helpful across two. Back in the day i remember running a 10 man the boss had 10-15% health left with just the MT, a hunter and my enhancement shammy. So i just kept on dpsing but insted of using my free instacast chain lightning every 6 secs i used healing wave instead. With my high crit chance and it having no mana cost we were able to finish the fight.

sgt pAndAjAm ret pally can use seal of insight which will provide light, smart heals, plus holy prism. druid can pop nature's vigil which will heal similar to atonement. a warrior can pop defensive and equip a shield, and druid can pop bear. just a few examples of how this already exists in game. maybe not to the 50/50 extent (disc heals in MoP were probably the closest with atonement), but you wouldn't really want someone with 50% of their utility being limited to potential situational use. but for the most part, dual spec helped a lot with this. i would see a 10 man raid with 2 tanks, 2 heals, and 6 dps, but in a fight that needed more healing you would have a dps swap specs to heal. wasn't really the case in vanilla, where you would have to port to swap specs at a trainer.

[@brandonsullivan9504]

Miasimon the way that i play my boomy is a passive/ active off healer just to try and help out the healers that are in dire need

[@aickavon]

Miasimon You can build your ret paladin to be far more supportive of the team in both terms of damage and healing. In my raiding guild I have a ret paladin which has a split focus. I don't use him on dps checks because he lacks in that department (pumps enough for other bosses, but not for a dps check), but I certainly use him on survival checks (Paladins have multiple abilities that heal allies without any real effort thrown into it). Monks can also be build for a 'hybrid' playstyle but you need a guild that appreciates these hybrid builds. Simply put, a support/hybrid class idea IS amazing sounding on paper... but... it would be a nightmare to balance things out and you will have many... many patches that make you horrendously weak. Plus, you'd need to find them a stable spot in dungeons. I honestly don't want any current trees to be converted into the 'support' class as it would just... really... really piss off a lot of people, but they'd need to introduce at least three classes that have a tree that specializes in such events (for example, a cleric ideal, heals teammates and off-tanks effectively, but doesn't do well as a full time healer or a full time tank unless specced occurdingly. It could have a healer tree, a support tree, and a tank tree.) Supports would need a strong gimmick too that defines them as a support. Perhaps dropping out powerful buffs and aoe cds that aid allies, or placinng protective auras in certain locations. Their focus shouldn't be Healing and dps but not good at either, instead it should have their own specific thing that makes them really good. They should also feel important and have an impact, and not feel like they're in the guild to be a buff stick (Shamans know what I mean with this one) All these ideas are of course, great on paper but once moer, a nightmare to balance... so I don't think blizzard would ever actually consider it.

My biggest wish is for paladins be able to dual weild and add a blessing to your sword. Imagine the fucking 2 handed holy warrior with two glowing swords. "sigh"

[@Fjall99]

Rhytmicfoil I'm pretty damn sure blizzard wants fury warriors to be the only ones with the double 2-handed weapons. I agree that your idea is cool, but imagine all of the furious fury warriors when they lose their originality.

[@goran77ish]

Rhytmicfoil That blessing is not bad idea, if it is just visual effect. If it is 60min spell that you have to apply to weapon, just ask rogues how cool it is. But, then again, we already have enchants and some cosmetic enchants.

Played Hunter main for PVE from Vanilla to Cata. They were very fun, but PVE at that time was very difficult. The dead zone and relatively few ways to effectively kite early made them more of a battleground class for PVE and arena was quite challenging to do well with. I am glad to hear they are in a better place now in PVE

[@kadachi16]

Now in pvp*

[@catalyzt9]

If you are planning on playing pvp only, like a lot of new players do, i would highly suggest looking at the 3v3 leaderboards on world of warcrafts site, and going off of that plus your preference on what you want to play. Go to the Leaderboard, click ont he class and spec you find interesting, and see how many people are in the top ~500 before you level a toon all the way to 100, and then find out it's terrible.

[@davidsmithsmith5679]

i kind of miss the old talent system wotlk type

[@DarkWolper]

It was too difficult for casual players :-( Miss it too

[@c.d.dailey8013]

I like it too. I also miss the large movepools of the early days. It was fun to play with. The old talent system is not too hard. I would just pick a tree and invest all my points in it.

[@divinefever]

DeadSkillZ true, but i would just really like to play a belf druid for some reason. i know that it wouldn't really make sense when thinking about the lore, but still, i think it would be cool.

[@Dylanpanman]

+DeadSkillZ +DeadSkillZ funny thing is.. lore wise you wouldnt be seeing thousands of Demon Hunters wandering around in Major Cities as they despise them for wielding dark powers. If anything they only rest at inns from time to time. Blizzard is only releasing such as a last effort for WoW...breaking their own lore in such a way unless many were to fulfill it by RPing which i highly doubt would happen.

[@PaulRoneClarke]

Love the vid. Good general advice. Realised I play the game with very different priorities. I don’t like melee at all and never got a rogue above level 80 in 14 years of playing WoW. I don’t like PvP either. All the same the breakdown of classes at the time of WoD is pretty well laid out here.

[@KeanaMorrison]

I love my shadow priest!!! My favourite so far and my main, it was my first character I capped and once I researched a bit about rotations it was a great spec that felt like it did a sh*t ton of damage imo, or at least felt super powerful, I always did the most dps in dungeons without a doubt, about mid range for raids if I remember correctly. Felt like he made it seem like it wasn't good but I found it super fun besides lack of mobility but I preferred and didn't mind to be more ranged, just realizing now that it's nice to be able to move while casting with other classes but doesn't compare yet to how much I loved how powerful I felt as a spriest. Haven't played it much in Legion so hopefully it will still be great!

[@camille9290]

This video is so unecessary. It's sad that people are really that incapable of making their own decisions. There is a brief explanation for each class on the character creation screen. Secondly, I notice that there's a lot of morons who view the "best class" as what most ppl have theorycrafted as having the "top dps." It doesn't matter. Play what you like. A good player will play a healer, tank or dps and do it well. If you're choosing your character based solely on theorycrafting and who has the most POTENTIAL for damage or healing or whatever else, you're doing it wrong. Word of advice: Best potential can't fix stupid.

[@WatercolorMush]

i've mained a windwalker monk and a disc priest for the majority of WoD, and before that my frost dk was my dps main, even though I've also mained my priest since vanilla. I usually like to have a dps main bc it's hard af to solo content as a healer (while I survive just fine in most situations, killing things takes FOREVER since your spec isn't really designed for it), though I sometimes return to shadow as an offspec. That said, my sister pretty much considers me as her go-to healer as she's a big fan of melee classes in general (fury warrior as her main). I know people don't really care but something I really regret?? Using my Legion preorder boost on a mage. I don't know why but I always think they won't be so bad and that I can get good at them every now and then but the reality of it is that i end up frustrated bc i keep dying/almost dying.

Tanking heroics in WOTLK with my PVP spec Enhancement shaman in PVP gear was the most fun i've ever had with WoW. Gotta love keeping aggro with high damage and Earth Shock :D

[@BonkHazard]

I prefer taking any tank role class, because it is straightforward to tank damage and your survivability is improved quite a bit by healers, and because you're not focused on dealing damage you aren't overwhelmed by the pressure by being a mandatory glass cannon that if you don't deal enough dps or generate too much threat you are endangering your whole party, so it allows me to leave the more complex tasks to others while i allow them to do it.

[@adampriestley5993]

Factoring in Dual Class perk, I love Paladins. Ret Pally during PVE and solo game work, and Holy during raids/dungeon runs.

[@0oidiedinatimemachineo024]

Cool channel man *subscribed* I just started playing wow (I know I'm REALLY late to the game lol) and your videos have been hella helpful so thanks dude!!!

[@surgedhaven8607]

My favourite always used to be Paladin, Mainly because of its self-sustainability, I always loved playing a Retribution Paladin, And would change specs if my dungeon ever lost a tank or Healer, I wouldn't be good due to the gear I had, but it was fun

[@missRudite]

I mainly enjoy playing with Rogue and Monk cos i like playing DPS in raids ect. The reason why i enjoy using rogue is cos of the amount of damage it does per second and especially the fact that you have to be sneaky and close to ur enemies. And the reason why i enjoy playing Monk is pretty similiar to rogue it does insane amount of damage and the fact that you have to use ur fists and feet instaed of the regular weapons and you also have a lot of mobility and it can also run 3 specs tank,dps and healing . And in my opinion they both have good looking armour.

[@xgrayx1533]

i enjoy your videos alot, and im a newb for the most part. i have a level 98 disc/shadow priest but i mostly play it in disc for leveling purposes bc in the dungeon finder i found that as healer the ques pop faster and also as a tank. but i have a level 67 hunter that i absolutely love bc i like attacking from range but i like melee classes and the hunter seems to fit both of those. And its easy to solo old cata raids with him bc my pet is a turtle. My priest however is getting boring to play bc i made a bad decision when i bought WOD and quickly made the decision to use my level 90 boost on a shadow priest, bc i had started an alt that i hadnt even gotten past level 20 but thought was soooo fun to play, worst mistake ever. I only play it to get it to 100 so i can have my first capped char. But i found that i love hunters more but it seems everyone hates them in the arenas and bgs bc they say we are just newbs that picked the easiest class to play, but they are fun to play so i just brush off the haters and push on. I found i do more dps on my hunter in arenas and bgs then i do on my dk or priest. But your videos are great, keep up the awesome work.

[@sicksadperson8093]

My main is hunter since BC. IT was a clear choice for me for I always played ranged classes (distance makes me feel secure, I am too unsure in face to face combat and also a complete moron in it, when I tried to pvp with my DK I would run around trying to kill people and then I realized that I lost my sight in the chaos and my target is far away from me and I'm not even doing any dmg to them), but I am not into magic and shit, and also I wanted to have a pet because I am fond of animals (also a reason why I love druids - you don't have an animal, but you ARE an animal).

[@darkheart9044]

When I started playing, I was recommended playing hunter or mage, as they back then, were the easiest to play for beginners regarding lvling. I still play mage today :)

[@ZoTiXGames]

Helped a lot! Especially for my 90-Boost :D

[@_namesjazzy]

I love Death Knight, Druid and Rogue. Druid got me interested, then Rogue, then DK. Personally I dislike Mage but, sometimes it is fun to play around for awhile, only thing is, I just don't like range damage. I love to do melee damage. Guess that's why I have a Frost DK, Feral Druid and Subterfuge Rogue!

[@edschramm6757]

I have to comment on one thing - when i first started out i tried to play a hunter... you didnt get a pet until level 10 so you had to kill whatever your target was before it could get close. then, your pet would run away if you didnt feed it often enough, and before it did its stats in combat would suffer. i gave up on that character around level 15 when my cat ran off and left me high and dry without being able to get a new one for some reason. I mained warrior from vanilla to mists, around the timeless isle patch. My primary alt is a prot pally... i like throwing my shield over and over and over again. makes me feel like captain 'merica.

[@chadgoings6336]

shadow priest was fun in 2006, i used to get second place iin dps for alliance with a priest in battle ground and 1 or 2 in healing in the same match.

[@Erratasx]

I can say the same for priest :D

[@carcillian]

All 8 years I played I was always Tauren. My favorite class is hands down DRUID! But not to discount the other great races and fun classes like Gob-Warlock is a blast. Troll-Hunter Orc-War of course. But for me I'll always walk with the Earth Mother.

[@einstini15]

I would add the cool abilties that separate classes... like mage: creates food and portals, locks: summon ppl, shaman: self rez things like that

[@ahegpbtrftcotu]

i main a shaman and i tend to find that in raids i can play healer better than the priests and at the same time still be in the top dps listings. excellent class, would highly recommend

[@Ramon_92]

I play a Disc priest at lvl 100 and i certainly recommend you to choose the same when you want to heal in PVP or in Raids.. The Priest has many abilites to stay alive and to keep others alive whilest in combat and a good PVP Disc priest can be nearly impossible to kill .

[@Panthro-lo2lh]

Ret paladin. I have PLAYED (no boost) almost every class to 100 (conked out on druid at 96) and this class/spec fits me too well. I've always loved paladins in just about everything I played (Diablo, Baldur's Gate, IWD) so I'm probably biased, but a holy warrior of the light healing/buffing allies and beating the tar out of foes adds just enough flavor and variety to keep me hooked. Mage is a close second just because my mage lucked out on drops and I was able to see how strong they are relatively quickly.

[@zabazios2334]

I like the look of the warlock when you max out the demon bar for demonology if you dont use your form with max you have horns and purple strands floating around you

[@saeed2639]

as a shaman you are right, the worst weak point is their softness especially when you are leveling you character, shaman is poor against other classes but when you get your gear and fall in you cant be a easy target for them like when your healing spec is on you can beat classes cant heal themselves like mages and hunters also you can highly stand against rouges and deathknights due to totems and fast healing spells and would be a great support for your teammates in cases you are fighting against classes which deal with debuffs like moonkin druids. also i dont recommend element shaman for arenas and totally pvp because of its castings and bad handling in fistfights

[@Codenamel3oom1]

As a shaman I love my class for the aesthetic and lore, I've mained a shaman since classic. However I feel that Blizzard really doesn't know what they want to do with the class a lot of the time, as I always feel as though something is missing or that I am doing much worse in comparison to other classes. Regardless however I agree that Shamans remain pretty versatile and while we have lost many totems over the years we still have a few powerful ones that do the job.

[@klowngaming4507]

right now i main as an enhancement shaman, and while i wouldn't say i'm great at it i get no complaints in raids. next i capped a demo warlock, really fun class and spec but doesn't deal a ton of damage unless you really know how to play it. once you hit 90+ i STORNGLY recommend heading to thunder isle and getting a tome of the legion for the awesome cosmetic change, but be warned that it is not an easy find for everyone and it's intensely crowded by warlocks looking for the exact same thing you are xD. and last was my unholy death knight. i do really like the death knight class, partially for that battle rez, partially for the lore, partially for their really cool abilities that are basically less powerful version of what the lich king could do. now if they could just get that lich king's wrath ability (or whatever it was called that he uses at the end of the fight) they'd dominate pvp in every way lol

[@IannisMaragakis]
