What class will you be choosing and why?

Figured I’d make my first post here while my nostalgia is in orbit and listening to the classic soundtrack.

I’ll be rolling NE Hunter. Probably male, I might just coin flip the gender.

When I started in May '06 i was a NE Warrior on Turalyon, but since every nerd in history is going to be rolling warrior because every popular streamer is a warrior, I figured it’s going to be saturated with a bunch of warriors screaming not enough rage at each other.

I also figured hunter is going to fit my time schedule better now that I am an adult.

Orc hunter, and when I hit lvl 10 I’m gonna do the long run to get my owl pet. I remember doing it back in the day, it felt so epic.

Haven’t made up my mind yet, too far out to give it any serious thought. Haven’t even decided whether I’m going to roll Alliance or Horde this time around.

(Never make a “plan.” That way, premeditated can never come up at trial."

Nelf Druid.

I really like that the druid can do everything. Maybe not on a raid level, but when questing I’ll get in a group with 2-3 other people then fill the role that needs to be filled.

Our group does not have a tank. Bear up. What? We need heals? I’ve got that covered. More deeps plz? Got a cat for that. Everything under control? I’ll sit back and throw support spells.

I’ve found that even in 5 mans (I’m in the beta) I can still fill any role. Earlier this week, even while restro specced I was able to DPS just fine in DM.

Enhancement Shaman.

So, my Vanilla history was that my first main was a Human Paladin on Dragonblight, a PvE realm. At about the mid 40’s I noticed that none of my friends were logging in anymore (Remember, friends were character specific back then). The next time I got to meet up with them they told me that everyone changed realms to Warsong, a PvP realm. Funny story, I wanted to be on a PvP realm from the start BUT my friends were all on a PvE realm and so I joined Dragonblight because they were there. It… ruffled me…

Back then you couldn’t transfer characters from PvE to PvP so I had to re-roll. Needless to say I was NOT going to re-level a Paladin. It was such a slow and painful experience for teenage me, so I picked the easiest, most effortless, most hyped up and over populated class in the game at the time. I picked a rogue, you know… The class that everyone was playing.

Needless to say, leveling experience felt so much better at the time. Originally I was not going to really level it that much and just keep playing my Pally but WoW is just better with friends honestly so I reluctantly focused more on my rogue.

Well, near the end of Vanilla I decided to start up an Alt and really wanted to see what the Horde and all this Shaman hype was about. Needless to say, and even though I only got him up to the mid 30’s, I was hooked immediately! Their play style was so fun, it felt good, and it especially ticked some kind of feel good feeling in my head whenever I would see Windfury procs. The class just felt amazing to play, so amazing that when TBC came out I rerolled a Draenei Shaman so I could continue to play Shaman but with my Alliance Friends.

I mained Enhancement Shaman all the way to Mother Shahraz in a progression guild back then. No world first but I believe we were server first in the guild on, I think, lethon? I did a lot of realm transfering back then so its a bit hazy. (Helped also being the GM’s personal WF and Heroism provider)

I was a Draenei named “Burori” (Yeah, I know, anime weeb)

After that I started to feel some progression raiding burnout and took a break, experimented with Druid and Paladin for a while. Never really touched shaman again until MoP I believe? and… eh… it was not the same and has only gotten less and less interesting for me since.

I really loved Classic Shaman and to a lesser extent TBC shaman and wish I had gotten the chance to experience end game Classic Shaman when it was current. Really happy to have that chance now.

I never played classic and just started retail, so this might change, but a human holy priest. I’ve been really excited for classic, I’ve been stalking the forums since the beta opened and watched way more classic content then I’d like to admit! And so far it just seems like the class that suits me best.

Mage

They’re fun

12

Warrior so i wont have to sit end game “lf 1 more tank then g2g”

Theirs ways a lot of warriors sure but not many are willing to tank

Followed by a mage

13

Holy Priest or Warlock my original two raid characters from that timeframe, I haven’t been able to decide between the two yet.

14

Yeah, but when it comes to end-game there’s only a few spots available for main tanking positions per guild which can be a major hindrance for just about every warrior who wants to tank, and the market is going to be saturated for awhile I think.

I loved playing warrior and would also be my first choice, I just hate how most major WoW streamer is a warrior - so their entire audience wants to be a mega l33t warrior.

15

I’ll be going Troll Shaman. I played purely Alliance first time around, so I want to play things from the Horde side in Classic.

They’re also going to be saturated because of the perception of Warriors being incredibly overpowered in 1.12.

They were both a top tier DPS in Naxx because of insane gear scaling, and a top tier tank.

16

My main was a hunter up until early WotLK at which time I went resto druid and never looked back.

Now that we’re actually “looking back”, I think I’ll main a hunter again.

17

Well, while most the streamers will or are warriors right now, their flock of sheep will be in their guilds doing their runs so they wont be available to most people, plus raiding is cool and all, but running end game dungeons is fun still and thats where you can never find a tank

Mage will be for farming and raid purposes

18

Priest for the easy groups at end game and fun leveling (I hope meleewanding works in classic)

19

Me knows exactly what you fell, mon.

Just started playing and there is too many Asmongold videos on my head.

I’m gonna do multiple characters, see what looks better and then delete the others. :stuck_out_tongue:

Or play a hunter because it looks easy and hard and easy at the same time. Troll hunter have long arms, longer than any other race, so his bow is bigger and reach further distance, right? 95% chance on rolling this.
