Does anyone play only one class?

[Selene]

Is it just me or is this game basically an alt-o-holic type of game? Seems like everyone plays at least two classes on a consistent basis as there doesn't seem to be one class that scratches all the itches.

Wondering if there is anyone out there who pretty much exclusively plays just one class 99% of the time. If so, what class is that and why do you prefer to stick to that one alone?

alts are for nerds

Dress wearing rangers are for closet crossdressing choads.

Were all hopelessly addicted, once one character is leveled and they become raid only the only next step to scratch that itch is a new toon.

This! Or even non raiding just fun to level sometimes.

I've met a few players over the years who play and level multiple clerics. The different races of cleric add noticeable flavor. There are different approaches to cleric play - solo root-and-nuke, group healbot, enchanter sidekick.

There are a few people who don't have an alt.

But overall, I think your perception is correct: that most players try different classes. It's one of my favorite parts of the game!

There are at least three of us! I exclusively played a cleric on live, and mostly play a cleric now, but... if anyone had told me in 2001 (when I started playing) that rangers can bark arrows at things? World might be a different place.

think the only class this would work for is enchanter

It's basically this and shamans, maybe necro. Both classes can solo and group. Both classes benefit a lot from any items you buy or spend DKP on. Both classes have gate and can move around.

Any other class is gonna have some kind of shortcoming you're most likely gonna wanna scratch at some point with an alt. Heck, even with a shaman or enc you still probably wanna try something else.

I have a fair share of alts but when i was actively playing alot, Id basically only play my enchanter unless i had a specific need for one of my alts.

Which most of my alts were born out of a desire for a certain utility.
I made my necro to do chardok aoe.
I made my mage for chardok aoe also.
I made my warrior because my guild had a lack of ST keyed tanks at the time
I made my bard to sell powerlevels (ended up really loving my bard though)
i made my rogue because wife wanted to play sk and we thought itd be fun to fear kite to level.
I made my 2nd warrior to troll vanquish.

My paladin was probably my only alt i made because i actually thought it would be fun and just wanted to try the class out.

But my enchanter was the only character that id always play when the options were open. My highest level character on retail is an enchanter, and im maining an enchanter on oakwynd as well. Really love the class even post charm destruction
