Which class should I choose for a main?

Community General Discussion

Which class should I choose? I want to hear opinions. I’m undecided between Rogue, Warlock and WW Monk. Each class has its pros and cons.

Rogue: I love the fantasy and aesthetics of the class, I’ve always played rogue/assassin and other games, but I find them very difficult to understand.

Warlock: I also like the fantasy and aesthetics, but the low mobility issue bothers me.

WW Monk: Maybe the DPS I find the most fun to play. But since I only like to play DPS, I think it’s risky, since I see a lot of people saying that WW doesn’t get any attention.

Rogue makes open-world content so much easier. there’s really no reason to main another class.

Sounds like monk’s the way to go. You said it’s the one you have the most fun with, and in my book that settles any game-related decision I ever have to make.

Never choose a spec over a class. So that eliminates WW. As an alt sure but not a main.

Between Rogue and Warlock id go warlock. The three specs offer 3 different playstyles.

If you are only choosing for the short term, go Monk since that’s the DPS you like most.

If you intend to choose a main for, say, the next year, you could try Rogue.

Warlock is notorious for being tanky but immobile, so I wouldn’t recommend it.

Ummm… i fell like your 2nd point invalidates your first point.

“Dont base decisions on specs, now the reason you want to be a Warlock is the great specs!”

Warlock

  • provide your own tank for solo content
  • great self healing
  • soulstones for screwups
  • arguably the best looking set of tier gear of any class (collectively from t1-whatever number we’re at now)
  • 3 specs that all play different

I don’t like WW Monk that much but you will play it an become and expert giving mountains of feedback that will launch a monkvolution.

At the end of the day with a warlock you can play ranged DPS, ranged DPS or ranged DPS.

I play all 13 classes… i like Warlock, but that’s a weak reason to choose a main… a warlock is ranged DPS, you don’t have 3 different playstyles, thats a serious reach only someone who never tanks and never heals would claim.

If you really want to harp on “3 different playstyles” from the list the OP offered, only Monk actually has 3 different playstyles.

affliction, destruction and demonology, while all ranged specs, don’t play the same. If they did, all 3 specs would perform equally well in all situations/content forms.

let’s dont assume I havent or have never done anything other than play my warlock :+1:

those are not only different specs but different roles so of course they’re going to play differently

Here’s the problem about asking. Sure, you could get some ideas, but only YOU know what you can actually stand playing. This is why I stick to Druid, Mage, Paladin, and Hunter. None of the other specs interest me, and I have tried them all. I mourned the loss of Rogue in BfA when pickpocketing and open world locked chests just stopped being a thing.

Play whatever you like the most, which sounds like WW Monk.

As long as you’re not looking to be a cutting edge raider or trying to be top 1% in M+, you’ll be fine.

I’d recommend Monk if you’re talking about a main. It offers Tank/DPS/Healing, so long term it will offer you more value if you ever decide to expand your gameplay.

I probably shouldn’t tell you that I’ve played this character as my main and been exclusively shadow for nearly 20 years. :eyes:

You probably know more about disc and holy than I do! :rofl:

I am confused as to how you’re not following.

Don’t play Monk for 1 spec only.
Play Warlock because all 3 specs are great options.

I never said not to make a decision based on specs. That literally makes no sense.
I said don’t choose a spec over a class.

??

Not to be rude I just don’t know how to simplify that further.

3 > 1 ?
