Longterm main class

Looking for some input on what class to play since I have decision anxiety.

I want 1 class where I can do everything including m+, raid, delve, questing/collection hunting, and pvp. In raid I want to just do dps, but I prefer healing in dungeons. I also prefer durable and fast classes; I hate dying and I hate walking slowly.

The most important criteria I am looking for is long term viability, not necessarily current meta classes.

Looking at the available classes these are the ones I am considering just based on aesthetic alone:

Paladin - High on the list, but only 1 dps spec and way over populated which is my biggest concern. Also, just a little bit… too much gold light effects.
Shaman - Hits a lot of boxes, but I kind of hate enhancement. -10 points for enhancement.
Mage - Would be my top choice if it wasn’t DPS only.
Monk - Same issue as paladin with 1 dps spec. I am also not sold on the class fantasy.
Evoker - I like devistation quite a bit. Never tired Aug. The limited range also seems like could be annoying and there’s limited transmog options.

I’m biased so I’m gonna say shaman. And I understand the dislike for Enh, seeing as it can get WILD.

But unga bunga is funga.

You don’t have Druid on your list. They can do everything. Might want to consider Druid.

Druid checks all your boxes. Their DPS has been lack luster in raids for the past few expansions, but depends on how high your pushing if that will even matter.

They are great at pvp and dungeon healing. Plus with travel form, dash, stampeding roar, and wild charge it’s a pretty fast class.

Ultimately this is just determined by whatever you find stylistically appealing. I always end up playing DK and warlock regardless of balance because those are just the archetypes I like. In classic I always end up playing warrior and shaman. Same with other games, in POE I basically always play witch/templar/shadow.

BM Hunter, always reliably mid every patch and if you can master the 6 something 2 minute heals and defensive CDs… only slightly a glass cannon!

Also, we’re speedy Gonzalez, your entire survival toolkit is ratcheted around constantly moving while the pets do 3/4th of your damage.

Hunter has always been my main, but I play Monk BrM tank and another healer on the side, because playing pure DPS is hell when getting into groups.

After HOURS of ques and most of them hour long ones at that… and 90% losses… I FINALLY got a win today in RBGs!

Between Monk and Paladin.

Based on fun factor
Tank: Paladin
DPS: Paladin
Healing: Monk - paladin a close second (i like melee healers)

Monks are fun for interim fun but they fail to hold my interest long term. Although Mistweaver healing has me hooked

There are other classes besides paladin?

Honestly the best despite Blizzard’s lack of support.

Shaman.
You’re interested in Healing and DPS.
Shaman offers Healer, Ranged, Melee.

No other class you listed offers both types of DPS. Variety is what keeps you playing long term.

Rogue isn’t on the list :rage:.

No it hasn’t.

Looking at everything you want, the first class that comes to mind is Druid.

Want to go melee dps? Feral.

Want to go ranged dps? Balance.

Want to heal? Resto.

Every spec has bear form - which gives you some durability. Every spec has cat form - which gives you movement speed. Every spec has a stealth and 2 speed boosts.

Want to quest? No worries. Flight form is instant and you can interact with objectives in flight form.

I’ve played DK since DK existed

Its cool

ngl blood dk best healer if op meant self-healing in dungeons.

sounds like you need to play outlaw rogue, the worst of the worst, be the best of the best of the best(sir) and prove everyone wrong.

for an indecisive person you’re very precise in what you want, the choices are very little and just from your description you’ve already knit picked out more than half of them. So be the bigger player, be outlaw, heal yourself in dungeons, problem solved.

The answer is always druid.

It doesn’t matter what the question is.
