1.) We can fill any role.
2.) We can run really fast and then jump off the cliff to turn into a bird.
3.) We don’t have a cast timer for mounting.
4.) We don’t get dismounted to interact with objects (except mining) or pick flowers.
5.) We can be a land or flying mount.
6.) We never get dismounted by dazes
7.) We can get out of any stun or snare with a form change.
8.) We have water travel form, so farming or moving underwater is no big deal.
9.) We have excellent self heals, even in the DPS specs.
10.) We’ve got stealth.
We can do anything. We can skip anything we don’t want to do. Because we have stealth and stun and insta-travel forms, we can navigate world content around the frustrating bits to get there faster and with less hassle than other classes could. Even when there is no flight, we can use regular travel form with wild charge to jump off cliffs without injury in the most unforgiving terrain designs.
The versatility of druid makes everything you do on a druid faster, easier, and less frustrating. In WoW’s world, where the game has many parts that seem designed with a goal of frustrating the player, this means it is often a druid who is able to avoid the most frustration and, therefore, have the most fun.
The sounds are very satisfying, as well. Depending on race, the shouting can be annoying. I can’t hang out with a female gnome fury, but a female goblin fury is hysterically funny. My fury warrior is a Velf male, and all the clanging, crashing and thunking sounds are very satisfying.
Protection Paladin, Enhancement Shaman (Doomhammer), Elemental Shaman(Earth magic) Survival Hunter (Arms with pet), Fury Warrior (HATE Dual wielding but love the build and spend playstyle) Destruction Warlock, Ice and Fire Mage, Protection Warrior (gladiator ho!), Brew Master Monk, Outlaw Rogue, Blood and Frost Death Knight.
Shaman are one of the most interesting classes to play in the game. They are great, and out of all the healers resto is by far the most fun imo. It really is awesome.
Coupled with the nightfall set which is probably top 5 coolest gear sets in this game puts them up high on the list.
But I got to hand the trophy to the GOAT.
THE HECKIN BONKIN BOI.
Warriors are just so much fun to play. I always go back to a warrior. I always default to warrior. The charge, the jump, the yelling as you smash stuff in its face hole with your stronkbonk qnd the spin and win. Warriors (esp fury) have had a bumpy road in wow, but they are in a phenomenal place… nor just in raiding, but to actually play. They are not super weak when soloing, they have decent mobility now… idk, I just always go back. I always spend all my time on the warrior. It feels like “home” as a character and a playstyle.
You have to figure out which feels like that for you.
You are spot on! I broke out my Enhance Shammy the other day for the first time and years and I forgot how great the sound effects are. It seems irrelevant but if you play with the sound effects on, like I do, the difference in hearing “swooshes” verses “kabooms” is night and day.
