Warlock? I heard they are really good and they have a lot of utility like summoning, soulstone, etc

Warlock or Hunter, only because you can’t prep a Blood Elf Paladin beforehand.

ya probably not.
a few people are advocating for blizzard to allow us to level our classes a month before BC launch so we dont have to start from 1.
I’m working on my Shaman, which I don’t really love right now, but gets so fun during TBC. I mained a Shaman during TBC-Cata on retail and absolutely loved it once they got dual weild.
shaman. need 6 for Brutallus.
All classes are needed.
I think arcane mage will be top dps with hunter and lock.
Shamans wi be the highest stacked class, as you want 5, you want 1 in every group.
The other classes all provide good buffs or debuffs.

hunters are dumb op. they have double red pet in tbc which makes the hunter immune too cc as well. mages are great with ice lance shatter crits for pvp too. personal preference really. find your niche and go with it. but we’ll probably be able to character xfer our toons to a tbc server anyway
Whichever one you enjoy playing so you dont burn out.

What Dot said, but if you really want to know, its Shaman by far.
Shaman >>>> Hunter >> Lock > Prot Paladin

Why does prot get good in TBC? do they get a taunt finally?
Yeah - as well as being pretty much the best tanks in the game by late T6. Classic BC will be easier, but on buffed Private Servers, you NEED a good Prot Paladin for fights like Alar, Tidewalker, Solarian, hell even nightbane in Kara.
Warlocks are only good to roll if you have Atiesh. It provides the sort of utility that no other class can provide… Quick access to Kara, the greatest raid of the masses ever created in wow history.

Warlocks are the 2nd best DPS class in TBC…what do you mean only with Atiesh? New theorycrafting on Arcane mages has them closing that gap though
The one you enjoy playing the most.
With that said, shaman.
Everyone always says hunter/lock because they’re the top dps but you still only bring three, maybe four to a raid at max while shamans sit pretty at five per raid.
You want a guaranteed raid spot? Shaman all the way!

I’m sticking with my druid. Bear tanks go from being serviceable tanks, to great tanks for most of the content, and gods in T6. Not to mention we’re going to be the only class capable of tanking and DPSing in the same role now.

That’s along the lines of what I was thinking too. Warlock or Hunter are purely DPS but if you’re trying to get a raid slot Shaman, Priest, Druid, Paladin can fill multiple roles if you’re fine with tanking or healing.
But you can’t pre-level Blood Elf Paladins or Draenei Shaman so the most in demand classes aren’t something you can have prepped for launch so all the people currently playing Shaman/Priest/Druid/Paladin have an advantage.
If you don’t have a raid slot and are fine healing/tanking/dpsing random dungeons until then then whatever class you pick is the best one. DPS is just a safer pick for all non-raid stuff you’re doing in the world. Everyone’s probably going to want to have a 70 hunter, druid, or warlock the same as most everyone wants a 60 mage or warrior now.
Shaman demand will always exceed supply. Guilds will want lots of them and there will never be enough players willing to roll the class.

If you’re looking to min max and you want to dps, then a warlock or hunter are your go to classes. If you want to farm open world resources for gold then a Druid is your BiS. If you simply want to always have a raid spot, then a shaman is the class you should play. If you want to faceroll to gladiator in arenas then a resto Druid or healing priest is probably up your alley.
More than any of that, just find a class that you enjoy playing. Most classes got big changes in TBC compared to Classic, but overall the core gameplay is similar. Experiment with every class in Classic and then decide what your goals are for TBC and you’ll have your answer.

They are good in sunwell, that’s it. That is the only place that crushing blows was removed in TBC
Even with crushing blows… something bear tanks deal with currently, the amount of armor and HP druids will have is enough to handle it.
