I’m starting a new character on SoD for the first time and I have around 400 hours on retail. I was just curious if any vets had a good class recommendation or two. Thanks.
Boomkin, Hunter and TankShaman or EleResto Hybrid.
Anything that isn’t warrior.
Everything else is good/workable. Don’t subject yourself to warrior.
You can’t go wrong with Paladin, BUT there is ALOT of pallys. First off, welcome to SOD! It’s a fantastic game!.
Your class really depends what you like playing really. Magic, melee or ranged.
I’ll give you my top pick of each and you can go from there.
Magic:
Warlock is hands down so fun!, Also in SoD you can tank as a lock in demon form!.
Melee:
Rogue is really fun with stealth and Assassination is poison focused and is great DPS!.
Ranged:
Can’t argue with Hunter. But the best thing is you can be melee as a Hunter and do very well!.
Most classes are viable and fun in SoD!. Keep in mind I play alliance and I haven’t tried Shaman in SoD!.
Farewell adventurer, go build your legacy!.
thanks man! I think I’ll go lock

Pick ally. If ur horde you will get 1 shot by paly on repeat. Locks can deal with shammy easy while u have nothing for paly. In pve youre one of the best DPS on single and multi target fights. Don’t go tank there are like 5 of us total. Sod is dying fast unfortunately. People won’t take u in groups with low gear. Get boosted to 60 do invasions for rank 7 seal. Mooche gear off naxx. Good luck finding a guild for SE. In the 3-4 weeks after you’ve completed everything else.
From a Horde perspective, Tank/Ele shaman is very flexible, very strong in PvP, amazing at soloing content, and solid in end game group PvE. Hunter is very good for soloing, and extremely strong in PvP with endgame gear. Druid is a very good pick as well, super flexible, all specs are really good especially boomkin.
Played every spec in sod. All classes have bloodmoon pvp gear and SE gear at lvl 60. have rank 14 and insane amount of hks on horde and alliance.
dps paladin is the strongest all around for pve and pve. only counter is purge, usually can burst down quick enough that it won’t matter.
pvp is dead in sod though so for pve here are my recommendations for just having fun in pve
tank: go shaman warlock or rogue. No other mode has these specs. Rogue for more complex rotation, shaman tank or lock tank for simpler but still enjoyable one.
For melee dps I would recommend either ret/shockadin paladin or hunter. dps paladin has the most builds so id prob recommend that. hunter feels great too.
for ranged dps boomy if u wanna top the meters but it’ll be a pain getting the zg bonus so maybe consider another caster. ele is fun for cranking cleave damage. ranged hunter is braindead ez to play if u want something simple.
for healer: mage healer isthe most fun imo. can’t go wrong with priest though. Shaman if u want to just spam chain heals. shockadin with dominus rune if you want to have huge off passive off heals while pumping.
final verdict: go paladin if alliance, shaman if horde. they offer you the most specs to try out besides druid (boomy basically requires zg rep, nothing crazy new about druid tank, feral desired for any raid for WS ut meh, Resto D is meh)
