Default Need help deciding what to play

Hello all! I am coming back to the server after a year stint, and i have a 19 druid.. on live from 1999 to 2004 i played a high end druid, and its all i ever really played past 30.

My dilemma is... As much as i love druid, i want to try something different... a class that can solo well (and fast!) but is terrific with groups.

I was thinking enchanter.. i heard they can solo well, and i love the mez and mob control role they have. I just heard they dont solo very fast (by fast i mean casually getting to max level in about a month and a half or less.)

other honerable mentions i wanted to try, mage, necro, shaman (in that order).

again, fast leveling, GREAT with groups (main key)

thanks all SO much for your help! hope to fight by your side soon!

Because you mentioned Druid up front, my recommendation is Shaman. First 19-24 levels are tough, but afterward you're golden.

Great with groups Enchanter or Shaman. Solo and level fast would go Mage

can enchanter level as fast as a mage? on the flip side are mages ever needed for groups, and on the triple flip side are necro's any good for groups as well? i know they can heal well when played right...

Mages are useful in groups. Maybe not truly needed, but mages bring a lot to the table.
Damage shields, pets and good nukes.
Lets say the group has a good tank, mage can use a DPS pet (water, fire)
and it doesn't take up a slot a character could fill.
Lets say they don't have a good tank, an earth pet can do it a little (nowhere near as good as a real player but better than nothing)
and if that isn't the route anyone wants to go they can kite or something. I played druid for a long time back in the day and I love them but I tell ya what I am loving how a mage solos (and groups) right now

oh also for shamans, leveling speed (compared to the mage/necro/chanter) i bring leveling speed up, because even though i love just playing this game, i enjoy knowing im making progress whether i have to group or solo when none are found =)

If you don't want to be a druid...necros, bards, shaman, mages, and enchanters are other classes that both solo well and group well.

Default Wow

No one's really mentioned bard..

They are one of the fastest solo'rs. Albeit it is a very involved and 'stressful' process, its crazy XP. You can easily solo aoe kite to 50. Bards rarely hurt for groups.

Also guilds like to recruit them [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
