Idea on what class to main in Classic

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

i rolled this guy in classic because of the diablo 2 hammerdin…

it was not even remotely the same. but it was my first 60, then i made a rogue to sneak into horde cities. rogues were op. used to be a horde rogue that was always in un’goro with 2 thunderfury

22

Where are rogues good at farming? I’m familiar with pickpocketing in BRD, but besides that?

Be aware that as a mage you will be required to:

  • Fill your bags with Water prior to a raid. And I mean fill, with lots of spells. No tables, no full stacks. I can’t remember how many the highest level water cast for but I think it was like 8 per cast, so you need to make 5 casts to make two stacks of water, not counting the water you drink yourself to regen mana for those casts. Don’t do it at the raid.
  • Then you have to trade those stacks out, one person at a time…
  • Buff everyone. You’re lucky that you’re getting Arcane Brilliance from the start, so its party wide buffing, but you’ll still be asked for individual buffs.
  • While levelling early on, you’ll be able to kill one mob, then drink, then another mob then drink etc.
  • Fire Mages were useless for the first three Raids. You will be frost until at least AQ40.
  • Always restock on reagents.

from what I’ve read mage and rogue are both excellent in pve and pvp.
plus classic will be around for a long time so if you want to change it up later then you can

25

Anyone “can” farm, bu mages can AOE farm. I believe from 52 on they just solo farm dire maul and make crazy gold. I know some people who are leveling mages first just for the gold farming.

26

If you’re going to be queing solo in pvp roll the rogue. If you’re going to do pvp premades take the mage, your cc and damage is godly in organized group pvp, but, look out for rogues and warriors, they will 3 shot you. Don’t roll a mage if you want to que pvp solo.

May want to ask the Chinese gold farmers? They definitely had it figured out.

Jokes aside, Combat was pretty good for kill efficiency. Not all farming is AoE. There also was the pickpocketing like you mentioned.

Rogues are a lot of fun in World PvP and appear to be underrated by the private server community, so I anticipate there will be a shortage of them. Of those two I’d suggest rogue.
