I’m leaning towards Druid, what do you guys think?
Pally or Shaman I would guess.
IMO I have zero doubt it will be druid.
On Horde, Druid will be the least played class by a wide margin.
On Alliance, there’s an argument that warlocks will be the least played due to how strong WoTF counters them, but I think druids will also be the least played class on Alliance.
The class distributions might look different depending on PvP or PvE server too.
Paladins are incredible for raid healing and shamans can be beasts in pvp. Druids are just so mehhhhhh.
I’d say Druid also, maybe Shaman.
Druid or shaman. People love pally healers and some folks are die hard ret fans.

I think you will see a lot of shamans thinking they will get sulfuras and be enhancement gods, just to be let down by reality.

Numerically, it will be paladin and shaman because they are limited to one faction
Percentage played for each faction, druids. Hands down.

Just how viable were Shaman for DPS anyway? I know everyone says they get funneled into healing at end game but if you do not want to heal is your DPS so trash you’re done?
Delete druids. Tired of them rolling on my

I’ve heard rumors of 2h enhance being a beast.
I honestly can’t remember where they got their dps rekt. But at some point they went from good/godlike dps (with BIS gear) to being mediocre w/ bis gear.
You run out of mana very fast as an elemental Shaman. Mobs in molten core and BWL resist your main damage spells heavily which also hurts them. Enhance with a Nightfall might be viable but not sure if it’s optimal.
It was at one point, not sure where 1.12 as I didn’t play a shaman. So it all depends, maybe somebody who mained shaman can answer that for us.
Shaman dps is sub-par. But if you try you can find a not-try-harder guild that will take you, if you really look.
But a lot of people want to do that and not heal, and you may have t heal for a while before you can schmooze your way into a dps role.
TBC really did a lot to fix shaman problems, but in Vanilla they were meh… decent healers, ok as elemental with cloth caster armor, enhance was just for leveling and showing off in PvP.
Enhance shaman were already badly nerfed by 1.12 so don’t expect to see those legendary windfury procs from the early days.

Ripp shamans. Bright side you won’t see guild masters going shaman to get the first sulfuras to troll as enhancement.

Your opinion is meh and ignorant.
We’re underplayed because we don’t chart top and children love charts.
Plus we aren’t a simple one role class like most classes. Druids aren’t easy to be good with even if the game is simpler and this challenge too much for many.
