Help me decide on a class

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

I want to pvp, and I also want to raid. I will be taking the game as seriously as I can, but I will have no interest in being in an elitist guild that is min/maxing everything. To me it makes no sense since the same game will still be here, and the same raids 10 years from now, so what’s with the rush and the hurry??

I am stuck between priest, mage, paladin, and Hunter… any spec, such as spriest for pvp and holy for raids, Ret for pvp, holy for raids (I am flexible just looking for the right class).

Let me say what classes I don’t like and maybe that will explain which of the 3 classes I shouldn’t play…

Warlocks — I don’t like warlocks. The idea of casting dots and waiting for your enemy to die just seems boring. I played an affliction lock in legion. It was ok, but it seemed empty.

Warrior — I like warrior and the idea of a warrior, but hearing they are one of the worst pvp classes without a healer in bgs and open world pvp is a big no no for me

Rogue — I always liked the idea of a rogue. I have dabbled in them, but could never really enjoy them. I want more of a class that can sustain a fight toe to toe, rather than a wait and attack approach and then run away after murdering someone.

I enjoy hitting players from afar, doing good damage, but I also don’t want a boring type of class. Insane dps is great, but when it seems faceroll it can become pretty boring.

TLDR: looking for a good farming class and a good pvp class. Raids is a plus, planning to join a more casual raiding guild.

Of those I’d say you need to decide now if you want to only heal or only DPS.

Because that choice will cut your options in half.

Then from there just decide Priest VS Pally and Mage VS Hunter.

The way that you described your likes a dislikes it seems like mage fits all your criteria. Very strong pvper, great with raids, its ranged thats not too boring, conjure food n drink, and good farming class.

You sound like a Mage (Frost mage while levelling) or a Hunter. There will be many hunters so I would honestly go with a mage as raids LOVE to have them for their buffs and food. They do some nice dps too. They are also a force to be reckoned with. Hunters are also great, especially in PVP.

If you pick anything with a heal button you will be locked into only healing at end game. You’ve been warned (unlike the deceptive official class descriptions).

Mage or Hunter

So that would be a marksman hunter.

In raids mage spam only a few spells, and is rather repetitive.

Priests and Paladins are healbots. I’ve heard priests are actually not as repetitive, but they are similar to warlocks in pvp and just killing things generally, so they’re out.

Paladins have no range and low dps, I think you’ll get bored.

Hunter covers all your concerns.

this is the perfect exemple of today generation of player are so pathetic , you buy the game and pay monthly fee and can not enjoy what the game offer you , you need short cut and ask someone to spoiler you the content , you can not take the challenge and enjoy the game , this is the main reason you have all this plague of streamer these day, you can’t not figure out nothing by your self ? and just enjoy the game and learn by your self ? , btw is not a individual issue but more a poor generation of gamer looking for the short cut , how is possible to have this for playing a Game , i can not believe it , never i make tutorial video or stream the game, the only reason is for the love of the game , retail player what a bunch of loser ,this is why retail is like this today

Or maybe they just want to avoid wasting 60 levels on a gimp class so they seek to learn from the mistakes of others.

I second this. I think you need to take a second look at the warlock class.

Summoning, Health Stones, Soul Stones, Group buffs via pet(s), two forms of CC (Fear/Succubus).

Lifetap makes things fun (Sacrificing your health for mana) and being able to gain that health back through drain life.

Hellfire (AoE that damaages you - I may have the name wrong) can really piss your healers off :slight_smile:

Plus, it’s not just dotting up someone and waiting. You have shadow bolts to cast, and with multiple enemies, you can DoT everything up and then track all of the timers.

Remember that line as you’re spamming “LF1M HEALZ THEN G2G!”. Just don’t spam it more than 3 times per hour or I’ll right click report it for the spam it is.

aww wapkgut, i didnt think it was a bad question. classic wow is full to the brim with theorycrafting. its all good. if you need to know, you ask, or look it up, or watch a video about it. thats certainly better than being too lazy to even bother asking. and just think, they’ll be increasing their vocabulary and reading comprehension.

in my opinion , this generation of gamer are a epic fail , because these day you always need or ask something , and can not just enjoy a game for what is it , this is why wow become retail today this is why you have streamer this is why you have mod because you fail to just enjoy and appreciate the game , you always crying or asking something , on my side i love to discover and learn by my self this is the real adventure , just there i feel extremely lucky to dont have your state of mind , just enjoy the classic ride and dont think in the next 2 month you will be full epic and have done naxx , just relax and enjoy classic and learn this is not retail

part of how we learn as a species is to take advice from those with more knowledge than us. can you imagine being in a guild where new players will not take instruction from those who know the raid, because they just want to experience it first hand? many raid leaders will tell you to go watch vids and read up on the raid first.

Truly, Hyper. My guild came apart because one half did not want to listen to the what the other half said, and the newest guild members in TBC did not want to listen to Vanilla guild members in Raids or Dungeons.
