Help me pick a class

Community General Discussion

I just came back after like 9 or 10 months.

I need to pick a main, I’m rerolling on a friend’s server. So little gold and the leveling experience.

Alliance.

So far I’m rolling with paladin and hunter, to see which I like, but I’m really curious as to what other options I should look at.

I’m looking for a class that does decent damage and has good soloability. I don’t plan to raid or m+ at this time.

Certain classes don’t appeal. Dh, lock, rogue, monk, shaman and dk are the dps I never really enjoyed. Typically prefer ranged but melee is ok.

Classes changed while I was gone. So I ask you guys for input.

Thanks!

This gets my completely unbiased vote. So much fun

BM hunter will always be the default for that. Ret pally is also up there lately.

Personally though, I always say warrior. Between fury and arms, one will always be doing good. Their survivability is good if you build it right too. When all else fails, go prot and just ignore pain through it.

But I am a totally unbiased party in that. Just look at my demon hunter, not my warrior main.

So, you want ranged, and not those classes.

Druid (Balance) has some decent survivability, being able to heal themselves, and they’ve been strong for a few expansions now. Flight form, Aquatic Form, and Travel form are all great Quality of Life. Druid also allows for the full breadth and scope of roles in the game, so there’s plenty to try with them if you feel Balance isn’t your thing.

Mages are pretty strong, but each spec plays a little different. Our biggest downfall is rot damage, since we have no self heal. Teleports and Conjured Food are some nice quality of life additions. That said, you won’t be solo’ing world bosses.

Shadow Priests look like they’ll be eating good in TWW. I don’t play a priest very often myself so I can’t say how well.

Can’t go wrong with Hunter if you like to solo content.

They also have the benefit of filling any role: tank, ranged, melee, and healer. Definitely most versatile.

I feel like this xpac they were underpowered though. I have barely seen them anywhere. Their all tanks or healers xD.

Well that’s almost every class to be honest. But I’d say with Hunter your pretty solid for that.

Otherwise I’d say a demon hunter.

Druid. Balance surviability is worse now than it was in SL tho

I would take a loot at The War Within Hero Powers.
They may not be super impactful rotationally for many specs, but thematically they are.

For example myself and many other Hunters aren’t too happy that for Marksmanship we have to choose to either be a Dark Ranger or a Sentinel. One is heavily Forsaken and one is heavily Night Elf.
Just want to be an Archer? Or love the fantasy of Elf Archer or Troll Archer etc.?
Too bad.

I think Ret is overall happy.

For me I’m eyeing up Warlock or DK at this stage. Delves will be my entire focus in TWW, I think these offer engaging Solo experiences.

Solo content + ranged = BM Hunter

Bear tanks were bomb in S2 with the Aug complement. Balance are pretty dope right now and I think resto is strong throughout

Oh I was referring to Balance, good to know their doing some good work right now.

Does playing with your friend now matter? Because you can create a toon in MoP Remix on their server (which is 3-month long instanced version of Pandaria) and the toon will be transferred to the live server before TWW Pre-patch.

The mode is pretty active so you would have the benefit of playing with plenty of others who are also levelling in that mode.

BM hunter is a great first toon on your new server. they are the ultimate soling spec.

  • Paladin is solid safe pick if you wanna boost for gold and tank heal dps which means less queue times which means more experience
  • Druid is Safe Pick too if you wanna boost run legacy content for gold and herb / mine as you can mine while dragonriding without needing to spend points to get the right spec for those professions
    And Druid Can Tank - Double Dps spec - And healer So = More options and less queue times which means more experience
  • Monk too can Dps - tank - heal = same as those above but i recommand DRUID or Paladin (paladin got Aura for more movement speed - mount speed)
  • The rest of the classes = Might Give you fun but they’re not min maxing your gold income and experience

Hm. Good call on looking at the hero talent thing. And everyone brings up some good points.

I’m trying to get to 60s so I can finish leveling with his main(he took time off before I did, played an alt on my old server, etc) but it’s taking a while.

MoP remix didn’t interest me unfortunately. Nor him. It wasn’t his favorite expansion. He’s turned off on it and my time is limited, etc.

I’ll poke around at the hero stuff first. But I am kinda leaning towards the hunter. Just sooo indecisive.

Thanks a bunch. I’d never have thought to look at them.

warrior is decent with some practice, roll arms not fury if u need practice in PVP.

Don’t worry, no matter what class you pick at one point it will be nerfed to the point where you hate playing it.
