What's a good WoW class?

[Byrjun]

Might be playing Corecraft when it comes out. I have very little WoW experience. I played with some coworkers back in TBC but all I remember is getting really high and doing dumb shit on raids. Of course we were always successful because as long as you mashed the right buttons the boss would die regardless of your level of inebriation. Corecraft is apparently also TBC.

I tried playing a Vanilla WoW emu server a couple years ago. I chose Druid cause it looked fun. It wasn't fun.

I like EQ shamans, are WoW shamans any good?

[Frug]

I wasn't a fan but try it. You can get a good feel in a few hours. I liked cleric, Hunter,and wizard best.

My main was always a mage. I had just realized the other day that I only ever played frost spec with my mage which is kind of strange but I only cared about pvp in that game.

Priest are pretty damn fun though. I liked my disc priest and was pretty much my only alt besides level 29 twinks. Shaman were pretty fun in early wow. My brother played an enhancement spec shaman in vanilla and TBC. They are nothing like shaman in EQ though unless you go restoration I suppose.

I hated the content and overall feel of TBC and I quit after Arena season 3. Game was a breath of fresh air when it came out then it turned into a crap fest with gear ratings and ultra casual hand holding. The game jumped the shark for me when they started blurring class identities and removing any uniqueness.

TBC era shamans sucked I thought. They changed from being "a warrior with totems" (enhancement was godlike) to breaking that part of the tree and forcing you to be either a healing shammie or a mage type shammie.

Ruined it for me at least [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hunters are a safe bet, enjoyable/easy.
Warlocks are fun too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is not how i remember it, but again.. memory.

TBC era enhancement shamans were godlike dps, drawback was they couldn't control it. We only raided with 1 enh shaman but he was always near top dps, the issue they had was the spike dps that would pull threat and kill them because in this era they have no way to dump threat. Couple big windfury crits, earthshock crit and down they go.

Is this game anywhere near launch? I'm seeing forum posts quoting launch Q1 2013. It's been pushed back and back which isn't bad since they seem to be focused on getting it right.
But I don't know if I'd pick a class and start looking for a guild quite yet.

Dunno, the dude who's trying to get me to play makes it seem like it's launching soon but he's probably full of shit.

I always enjoyed playing a rogue

When I briefly played WoW I played a rogue and jesus did I end up regretting that. So boring. I remember the shamany dudes in the guild seemed pretty cool and I wished I had been one of them. Kinda don't want to play Hunter because a) there were like 8 hunters for everyone else and b) there was that op dps item from Gruul called Dragonspine Trophy or something that I really wanted for my rogue, but it was ultra rare and some hunter beat me by 1 on the roll for the only one that ever dropped for us and never logged in again. Fuck that guy.

i would suggest warlock, as they are consistently powerful throughout the whole progression and have some really handy utility.

I don't remember Warlocks ever doing shit besides tanking that one boss in the Shissar ripoff dungeon. It's like they had to flag one boss "must be tanked by a Warlock" just so you would remember the class existed. I actually forgot until they were mentioned.

In retrospect, they should have made Xerkizh the Creator only tankable by Druids. Dropped the ball, Sony.

I don't know if this changed since I last played, but at least while leveling up prot warrior was the way to go. Shield slam your heart out.

edit: if you're going to play wow, just try out different classes. Comparatively speaking it takes no time at all to go 1-20 in that game and you get a pretty good sense for each class by that point.
