If you don’t want to read this entire post I’m mainly just wanting these questions answered: What is the best race for Retribution Paladin (PvE & PvP) and for Enhancement Shaman (PvE & PvP)? Do you consider Retribution Paladin or Enhancement Shaman to be more viable in Classic WoW? Which specialization is in more demand? These questions are strictly in regards to a max level character.
I’ve played WoW off and on since around 2004 (across multiple accounts). A lot has changed since then. I wasn’t able to participate in the WoW Classic BETA…so I was hoping that you can help me.
In 2004 I really enjoyed playing both a Paladin and a Shaman on different servers. However, I cannot remember which class was in more demand nor which race was best for each class.
This is where people are going to hate me, but I don’t care…it’s a game and I LOVE playing melee characters. I know that if I play as a Retribution Paladin or Enhancement Shaman everyone will hate me, but I don’t like to heal nor tank. I also don’t like to stance dance like a warrior nor shape shift like a druid (I HATE action bars getting swapped out during combat for different stances/forms), I don’t like to wait for cool downs like a rogue nor stealth around ganking people, I don’t like to play ranged classes, and I don’t like having to control pets.
I’m one of those weird people who likes to buff people, hit my enemies with weapons, heal myself when need be, and put out a decent amount of damage. I guess you would call me the ultimate support guy. I like to help others while throwing my own punches every once in a while. I like long drawn out duels…not short ones. I like playing a rare class with a rare spec and doing well at it. I don’t ever feel the need to be at the top the damage charts…I’m comfortable being somewhere in the middle as long as the Guild knows that I helped increase other players damage output with buffs or decreased the amount of damage other players took due to my buffs in some way.
