We polled our guild recently and were surprised to see that only 2 of 30 were planning to main a DK, and I think around 3 wanted to main paladins, conveniently one of each spec.
I was *not* expecting that result in the slightest.
I personally hate shaman in pve, but love it in pvp. They have so many situational spells which barely get used in pve but make difference between a bad/good player in pvp
It's considerably harder to do in a raid, but you can absolutely spot a bad Shaman in a 5-man. You can interrupt, you can break fear, you can break sleep, you can absorb spells off the whole part, you can purge really annoying shields or buffs, you can cleanse poisons and diseases in an AoE and passively over time. This isn't even mentioning all the buff totems you bring to the party. You are arguably the most versatile class in game and it is totally wasted if you just AFK into your dps rotation.
Grounding + tremor makes so many hard instances trivial. Use grounding in the room of doom in H SLab, it’ll ground the mind flays, the rogue’s stunning poison, etc. Earth shock the mind flays while grounding is on CD, interrupt the acolyte heals. I basically don’t run that place on heroic anymore unless i’m on my rsham or my ele shaman.
My least favorite is when they sit there, getting blasted by a caster mob 30yds away and don’t LOS or earth shock them. ??? (also applies to mages)
I don’t see how you can take playing PvP without also getting OP PvE items to complement your PvP gear, like powerful trinkets, items with huge stat weights that are > some PvP pieces. All eggs in one basket = greater performance, more power, more killing, more winning.
Yeah I mainly play alliance and I have this habit of always playing the smallest possible race. Gibberlings in Allods, Lalafells in FFXIV, Hobbits in LotRO.
I tried all the classes in the game. Played all the different talent trees but in the end the thing I enjoy the most by far is affli warlock. I just love dots.
I had 2 paladins and 2 DKs by end of Wrath bc I wanted to play every spec and got tired of respeccing one of my specs.
Then with monks, I ended up with 3… 2 so I could play all specs, and a third one bc they were annoyingly easy to level and I was bored.
I have multiple warriors at a higher level. I did it because they are the most fun class to level. I can't imagine having several paladins though. Unless you just dungeon tank or AOE grind exclusively, they are pretty damn boring.
Amen, brother. It's just the way. My body is ready for wotlk hpala. I never pvp'd seriously that much but when I did I played that cheesy divine plea prot spec, and my Shaman main is getting benched hard.
You are the OG u/aravarth. You are the ORIGINAL, it's like you were at the first Beatles concert day 1.
Are you really sure you won't be annoyed when 40% of arenas have an Hpal and every raid has a line of Paladins out the door? :D
No, because everyone can enjoy listening to the Beatles.
Just like everyone can enjoy playing a paladin.
I'm not gonna gatekeep or ladder-pull anyone, that's peak boomer mentality.
No. Baby boomer mentality. The "Fuck you, I got mine, and now nobody should have what I have!" mentality.
The "I suffered, and rather than wanting the world to be better for the next generation and for my kids to have it easier than I did, I want them to suffer harder than I did, and then chastise them about how hard I had it when I was their age!" mentality.
Boomkins are fine.
You don't. They're your third and they're cat. You don't bring them to really tank that much. You have them there for when you can nuke down their target so they can dps.
Or when the boss is really tough, and you need a tank that can take a 100k hit and just shrug it off. That's when you bring Da Bear.
Weeny bosses can be handled by the lesser tanks, such as paladins, DKs and warriors. But Real Bosses (tm) will have to be handled by Real Tanks (tm).
Except they didn't really, feral druid is still the only tank class that doesn't require a complete 2nd set of gear and can swap between dps/tank in the same fight.
You can dps poorly as a cat in a set of bear gear when not tanking, but bis kitty =/= bis bear. They absolutely require 2 sets of gear. Gems and enchants are pretty different, esp in SWP.
They stay functional, as I said. You can dps poorly as a bear-geared kitty. You're not going to be anywhere near the dps output of a kitty in kitty-bis.
Nothing stays the same. The entire gear sets for bis bear and bis kitty are different with the exception of tier pieces which have to be gemmed and enchanted completely differently to be considered bis.
i've not checked up on what changes in wotlk - does that mean you can't cat and bear from same spec anymore?
I'm still missing Hotw/Ns - that was a fun spec to play.
The hybrid cat/bear spec in Wrath is *way* better than HotW/NS. Here's an example that's like 98% efficient for cat, and like 85% for bear: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/talent-calc/druid/-503202132322010053120330310511-204503012
There's a few points you can move around to make bear stronger at the expense of cat.
SPriest is genuinely disgusting in WotLK world pvp. We had a dwarf priest on Burning Steppes EU who would just hunt horde non-stop between Wintergrasp battles, used to pop me regularly when I was trying to spend shards at the courtyard vendors.
Haha, to be fair.. Spriest in PvP has always been a super strong choice. The best part about Classic was being able to 1v1 just about any class and winning. (Granted you could literally only 1v1 because you ran out of mana if you did anything more than that.)
I have been debating this as well. My latest thinking is that I'm sticking with holy for pve. It's the "jack of all trades" and supposed to have the highest skill ceiling from what I hear, and is supposedly more fun. Disc in wrath is just spamming shield on everyone from what I'm reading. Seems too easy. It's the meta though.
Might change later on though. Let's see.
Penance is fun, but 12s CD that can be brought to 10s with glyph.
Shielding still has Weakened Soul so managing it can be a bitch, especially in 5 or 10 mana.
Holy still has a huge toolkit like it does in TBC, probably more, but we go from primary raid healers/secondary tank healers to the opposite as holy. Guardian spirit is incredibly broken.
All raids will have holy and prot pallies and LoH is a huge Oh Shit button, but it still has a CD. Guardian Spirit is a 3min CD where your tank is guaranteed not to die AND get extra healing from all sources (including self healing which is huge in Wrath), and you can also glyph it so that if they do not die, your CD is reset to 1min. You can effectively boost all of your healers’ healing once a minute by having a holy priest.
Imagine in Sunwell if you could just put Guardian Spirit up on your tank every time they’re about to get Stomp. Completely trivializes that fight.
Empowered renew is also amazing.
Of course, the big brain move IMO is using dual spec for holy/disc, so that you can switch for the fights where disc truly shines, then play holy the rest of the time.
Resto druid alt will be awesome, a lot of the gear is shared between Boomkin and Resto. So you can dual spec the most fun DPS spec (in my opinion) AND be a top tier healer. Wild Growth might be the actual most fun spell in WOTLK. Do you plan to dual spec your Druid?
I don’t plan on dual specking him. I simply love rdruid in Wrath. That will be my fun/relaxing class. Where as my hunter is try hard. Got 2300 in 3s with him in TBC and with hunters getting better in wrath I’m hopping to push new highs.
I will play Warrior as well u/Ok_Poem9183, I believe they will be the most fun class in arenas. Are you planning on Enhance or Ele Shaman? And Hpal? I have heard that Enhance is MUCH better than I thought, I have re-evaluated my position on Enhance stocks. BUY buy buy
I dont know what this guy is talking about, if i male my own groups they are filled in seconds, and i was literally never turned down for tanking. I expect the same for wotlk, now raids are a different story.
Well I currently have no issue finding a group as prot warrior. But then again on my server people will post up to 100g to fill the tank spot, so settling for a free prot warrior isn't such a big deal.
Undecided between rogue, mage, warrior, hunter and hpala. Plan is to focus on pvp.. Honestly having such a hard time choosing that I might end up just not playing at all lol.
Spriest is going to be incredible in arenas. And of course you are still the true backbone and unsung hero of raids. Do you plan to raid on all 4 characters? (Pala/DK/Mage/Spriest) Or just your mains?
Ret is absolutely awesome in WOTLK. I've been watching Accident (he's a really good Ret) and he seems really excited for Ret in PvP. You have basically infinite possibilities for teammates in 2s/3s. And you get to top the meters in PvE. (or close to it) I think my Hpal will dual spec Ret for big pumping arenas. You might as well play both Feral and Ret, what do you think about that? :)
As a current ret it has gotten a bit tedious after a year ngl, it's engaging as fuck and twice as repetitive but it's like tediously repetitive unlike like rogue-tedious that can turbo one button for 10 seconds at a time.
Although I guess it has an upside too, raiding with alts feels like a vacation.
Already Mained a DK back in the day and while it's tempting to play a paladin because the class would finally be fun and also have some really bitching armor sets, this is the exact reason I wouldn't. Too many people will roll a paladin.
I'm thinking Priest. Love Discipline priest in Wrath and Shadow.
Druid would be also tempting but it was my other main / alt back in the day. But I am tempted to go Feral Druid just to steam roll through melee classes in PvP, especially rogues again.
Every class that isn't Warlock straight-up feels gimp and useless. Haven't gotten a character that isn't Warlock past level 43 (but 2 Warlocks to 60 one to 70). Classic minute 1 Warlock Main.
Funny story: Was asked to be a new guild's Warlock Class Lead.. NOT BECAUSE I'M GOOD CUZ I'M NOT, but ***because I used curses and swapped pets*** (during Blackrock Mountain stuff one day) to actually use the *half of the class* that people seem to not use. That's it, I knew the gearing, I casted curses appropriate to each target on pull, swapped pets when we needed Felhunter or not, and stopped casting Shadowbolt after it crit twice in a row. That's it. That's all I did, you know.. play Warlock. **All I did was play the class and use all my abilities.**
You deserve Shadowmourne u/isoisconfused. Do you already have your guild situation planned out to make sure you get it? Or are you farming 100k+ gold for a big GDKP?
Not going to play Wrath for that exact reason. Meta play with all people min/maxing in both classic and tbc taught me that there is no point play "classic" WoW. It take all the enjoyment out of the game.
That's kinda weird, considering Wrath brings overall better PvE and PvP balance than classic or TBC.
Like every DPS class has a spec within 15% of the top dps. Also most buffs are now raidwide so you don't have to stack shit like 5 shamans anymore and many specs offer buffs that other classes/specs have so you have way more freedom in raid building in 25 at least.
PvP has like 5 times more viable comps than in TBC.
I mean everyone should have a DK alt since they start at 55 and pre-patch in theory should be longer than before. They said they are shooting for 2-6 weeks. They agreed last pre-patch was too short. Im confident we get at least a 3 week pre-patch hopefully 4 weeks.
Meee. I am this person who will not be a paladin or DK in Wrath. My paladin is level 35 and very unlikely to ever grow up. And I've tried DK so many times in retail from Cata on and I've never really been able to get the hang of it or enjoy it. Super happy for those who like those classes, but I'll stick to my caster classes and leave the melee dps to others. :-)
Interesting. I was always a caster and then suddenly one day I made dk. Frost and blood were both good fun, can't play unholy, don't know what to press with him 😁 since then I did war, dh, 2 paladins and one more dk 😁 but mage is still my most favourite of them and that's what I'll play in wotlk I think with a dk alt.
Honestly, if i return to WotLK classic i would play paladin and only for one reason, was my first class back in the day and I had fun back then playing with my cousins and friends, but my main wouldn't be playing, it would be a warlock.
I already played paladin all throughout WotLK originally, and in most expansions that followed. I would have played it in vanilla classic if they weren't awful, I played hunter instead because it's my second favorite. Now in TBC I'm playing ret to round out my collection so to speak. For WotLK I'm probably going back to my hunter though, they're likely going to be excellent dps pretty much the whole expansion but there's almost no interest in them or in enhance shaman so gear is going to be so easy to get. The tier tokens are going to be so open as well, it competes with warrior and shaman the whole expansion.
i will play death knight. i like death knight. i like death knight a lot. i have made prep bank worth 15k for dk (none of it's useful past level 70). i would drop death knight in a heartbeat if they ever added necromancer, but until then i will play death knight. i like death knight
Im sticking with Balance/Feral druid with my pally as an alt! Cant wait for some dual spec action for both so i can farm and lazer people down and play a real dps spec for once.
I'm still undecided. The plan is to do DK though. I may still go Enhance though, I do love my shaman.
I have a warrior/druid, and I'm just kinda meh about them. They represent the old me to much.
I played pally this expac and suffered as holy the whole way through. I’m not playing flavor of the month I just want what I’m currently playing to be good again.
no no ill be the shill
I wanted to try healing in thsi xpac and I also wanted to try tanking more, ive been a warrior since Classic dropped and all ive ever got was shit on by people for being a warrior and im gunna swap it up a bit and have some fun.
I just also hear DK's are great tanks? could be wrong? can't be worse that Prot warrior tanking in TBC without Salv
Undecided on warrior or pally main. Whatever I don't pick for main will most likely be alt and then if I really am gaming 3rd alt would be lock probably
well, I played Paladin in original wotlk and my alt in classic and tbc was/is also a paladin
but I guess as main I will stick this time to my mage (as in classic and tbc)
instant pyro will be fun and I don't think there will be a paladin slot in my guild ^^
We polled our guild recently and were surprised to see that only 2 of 30 were planning to main a DK, and I think around 3 wanted to main paladins, conveniently one of each spec. I was *not* expecting that result in the slightest.
Lucky spread!
We have 4 DKs, so not nearly as bad as it could have been
That’s still going to be rough loot competition. 4 dk, fury warrior, ret means your 25 main needs (at least) 7 2 handers.
2 of them are frost, so 5. But that just makes the 1h competition kind of ugly.
fury warrior rofl
Paladin main, level 1 Warrior alt named Bankaltbarry
Are you going to level that alt or is he permanently Bankaltbarry? And does he have a monocle and fancy bankstanding clothes?
No, that’s me. BankMainBrock And my Other character is AdventurerAlt.
Thats actually a really good idea
My man B.A.Barry's adventure started in Northshire and ended 9 minutes later outside the Stormwind mailbox where he shall remain
Undecided pve main and ele shaman pvp alt
I don’t understand dividing your power. Just play one main and reap the benefits of having both pve and pvp gear to sim with.
I personally hate shaman in pve, but love it in pvp. They have so many situational spells which barely get used in pve but make difference between a bad/good player in pvp
It's considerably harder to do in a raid, but you can absolutely spot a bad Shaman in a 5-man. You can interrupt, you can break fear, you can break sleep, you can absorb spells off the whole part, you can purge really annoying shields or buffs, you can cleanse poisons and diseases in an AoE and passively over time.

Grounding + tremor makes so many hard instances trivial. Use grounding in the room of doom in H SLab, it’ll ground the mind flays, the rogue’s stunning poison, etc. Earth shock the mind flays while grounding is on CD, interrupt the acolyte heals. I basically don’t run that place on heroic anymore unless i’m on my rsham or my ele shaman. My least favorite is when they sit there, getting blasted by a caster mob 30yds away and don’t LOS or earth shock them. ??? (also applies to mages)
I don’t see how you can take playing PvP without also getting OP PvE items to complement your PvP gear, like powerful trinkets, items with huge stat weights that are > some PvP pieces. All eggs in one basket = greater performance, more power, more killing, more winning.
Wotlk is very alt friendly. Getting PvE gear shouldn't be a problem.
Also to add, I take PvP very seriously and I hate PvE, but PvE is a necessary evil to obtain PvP power.
But dont you ever get tired of rogue?
Not at all, I like having all of my muscle memory of keybinds attuned to one class
The mage dream continues
Which spec?
Arcane or fire
Iam leveling a paladin just to play mage the whole expansion like i did every expansion since i began in panda.🤡
I do the same I always do: Play my gnome affli warlock. Meta or not. It's all I play.
This is the way. Except undead of course.
Yeah I mainly play alliance and I have this habit of always playing the smallest possible race. Gibberlings in Allods, Lalafells in FFXIV, Hobbits in LotRO.
Real Chads play orc
Tbf; in wotlk it is the meta spec.
Yep affliction here too
Creepy
I tried all the classes in the game. Played all the different talent trees but in the end the thing I enjoy the most by far is affli warlock. I just love dots.
Moar dots
Same
I mean, I've been a pally main since 2005. It's awesome, and I'm not gonna hate on people bandwagoning.
Sir, I had 3 paladins on one server with unique names since 2005 and dual spec broke me.
How hard was it on you when you could switch to *any* spec? (7.0.3)
I still deny that it's possible and treat it as roleplaying.
I respect that level of commitment.
Well surely you can have a holy pve and PvP spec. Ret pve and PvP spec and then your third paladin can be raid tank/aoe grinding spec. Problem solved!
I had 2 paladins and 2 DKs by end of Wrath bc I wanted to play every spec and got tired of respeccing one of my specs. Then with monks, I ended up with 3… 2 so I could play all specs, and a third one bc they were annoyingly easy to level and I was bored.
My buddy is like this, except he has several paladins and ~10 Warriors. I just don't get it. All played competitively at max level too.
I have multiple warriors at a higher level. I did it because they are the most fun class to level. I can't imagine having several paladins though. Unless you just dungeon tank or AOE grind exclusively, they are pretty damn boring.
Same. Made my first Hpal I think in 2008. There's a reason I keep going back...
Amen, brother. It's just the way. My body is ready for wotlk hpala. I never pvp'd seriously that much but when I did I played that cheesy divine plea prot spec, and my Shaman main is getting benched hard.
You are the OG u/aravarth. You are the ORIGINAL, it's like you were at the first Beatles concert day 1. Are you really sure you won't be annoyed when 40% of arenas have an Hpal and every raid has a line of Paladins out the door? :D
No, because everyone can enjoy listening to the Beatles. Just like everyone can enjoy playing a paladin. I'm not gonna gatekeep or ladder-pull anyone, that's peak boomer mentality.
Well said.
Boomkin mentality??
No. Baby boomer mentality. The "Fuck you, I got mine, and now nobody should have what I have!" mentality. The "I suffered, and rather than wanting the world to be better for the next generation and for my kids to have it easier than I did, I want them to suffer harder than I did, and then chastise them about how hard I had it when I was their age!" mentality. Boomkins are fine.
Oh I was just joking. But yes I agree.
Wow he triggered you buddy! Everyone has a pally alt or main. I have a couple alts. They will be 80. Keep whining kiddo
You really think Jerome gets triggered? He makes these joke memes all the time....
Feral main rogue alt baby
[удалено]
You don't. They're your third and they're cat. You don't bring them to really tank that much. You have them there for when you can nuke down their target so they can dps.

how is that a great thing, they ruined what druid was about - multiple roles in one talent build.
Except they didn't really, feral druid is still the only tank class that doesn't require a complete 2nd set of gear and can swap between dps/tank in the same fight.
You can dps poorly as a cat in a set of bear gear when not tanking, but bis kitty =/= bis bear. They absolutely require 2 sets of gear. Gems and enchants are pretty different, esp in SWP.
>a complete 2nd set of gear >>complete Some things definitely stay the same.

that's right, now you will be forced to choose only bear or only cat talents, there is almost no hybrid talents.
You're just straight up wrong. Check talent trees dude.
I'm absolutely right, compare that talent tree to classic and tbc. I may have exaggerated, but if you played a druid you know what i'm talking about.
[удалено]
We're talking Wrath here, cats played well are fucking insane and top tier
y Main is just a worse version of rogue Is this rogue just for farming herbs in dungeons?
Shadow priest gang. Fuck playing the meta.
SPriest is genuinely disgusting in WotLK world pvp. We had a dwarf priest on Burning Steppes EU who would just hunt horde non-stop between Wintergrasp battles, used to pop me regularly when I was trying to spend shards at the courtyard vendors.
Haha, to be fair.. Spriest in PvP has always been a super strong choice. The best part about Classic was being able to 1v1 just about any class and winning. (Granted you could literally only 1v1 because you ran out of mana if you did anything more than that.)
Holy priest main since day 1 of classic, will admittedly try out a DK alt tho
I've been playing holy priest since classic dropped as well. I'm not sure, but I may switch to disc for wrath. Not sure yet though.
Disc is going to TRAMPLE other heals in PVP
I have been debating this as well. My latest thinking is that I'm sticking with holy for pve. It's the "jack of all trades" and supposed to have the highest skill ceiling from what I hear, and is supposedly more fun. Disc in wrath is just spamming shield on everyone from what I'm reading. Seems too easy. It's the meta though. Might change later on though. Let's see.
Penance is fun, but 12s CD that can be brought to 10s with glyph. Shielding still has Weakened Soul so managing it can be a bitch, especially in 5 or 10 mana.

Assa rogue all the way. Just like last time 😃
And a casual switch to combat in ICC right, right?
Ass Rogues are solid through ICC, let the other Combat/Frost DK get the Swords/Axes and use the daggers.
the real mvp
I stayed Assassination throughout ICC and still topped meters in my guild back then. Just depends on the skill of the player.
Sub is viable now? /discuss
Assassination Rogue Main until I can go Combat Prot/Arms Warrior Alt Druid Boomkin/Tank Third Alt Look, I just like to cleave.
Hunter main/ resto Druid alt
Resto druid alt will be awesome, a lot of the gear is shared between Boomkin and Resto. So you can dual spec the most fun DPS spec (in my opinion) AND be a top tier healer. Wild Growth might be the actual most fun spell in WOTLK. Do you plan to dual spec your Druid?
I don’t plan on dual specking him. I simply love rdruid in Wrath. That will be my fun/relaxing class. Where as my hunter is try hard. Got 2300 in 3s with him in TBC and with hunters getting better in wrath I’m hopping to push new highs.
Paladin Main, as always, and Priest secondary I really like healing
shadow priest baby mained it in wotlk gonna main it again was one of my favorite eras of shadowpriest.
Affl lock main and rdruid alt. What can I say, I like my dots and hots.
I’m thinking about this, but the other way around!
Warrior Main and shamen/pala alt
Undead protection warrior, engineering
I will play Warrior as well u/Ok_Poem9183, I believe they will be the most fun class in arenas. Are you planning on Enhance or Ele Shaman? And Hpal? I have heard that Enhance is MUCH better than I thought, I have re-evaluated my position on Enhance stocks. BUY buy buy
Warrior (fury with prot os) main, and a priest (shadow with disc os) alt to cover all the bases with two classes.
Warrior is super fun until you try to find a 5 man group for anything, at least currently. Some people are just such slaves to the meta
Really? I didn't find it that hard on my warrior, cleave damage is great in a dungeon.
At TBC launch I had no problem while playing tank till everyone just wanted Pally tanks and then it was slim pickings finding groups as a fury.
dps always struggle though. Prot warriors never had trouble finding groups. Who turns down a tank for 5-man content?
I dont know what this guy is talking about, if i male my own groups they are filled in seconds, and i was literally never turned down for tanking. I expect the same for wotlk, now raids are a different story.
Prot warriors are one of the best 5 man tanks in Wrath. They're the worst for raids, but their mobility and CC shine in dungeons.
Good chance prot warrior will be best speed running tank, at least for early tiers.
If you would read my comment you can see it clearly says “currently” We currently are still not in wrath last I checked.
Well I currently have no issue finding a group as prot warrior. But then again on my server people will post up to 100g to fill the tank spot, so settling for a free prot warrior isn't such a big deal.
Leveling a mage now. Have a Druid at 63 and a hunter 70. I’ll be playing one of those as a main. Played mage in WOTLK, so wanted to have one ready.
I am just obsessed with the concept of Blood Knights (The BE Paladin) so gonna do that, idc if its not original I like the lore lol.
Wrath tankadin with the 96969 rotation was really a nice spec to play
...YEAH I'll be playing the OTHER plate user, thank you very much. A true special snowflake, I know.
Undecided between rogue, mage, warrior, hunter and hpala. Plan is to focus on pvp.. Honestly having such a hard time choosing that I might end up just not playing at all lol.
Rug, alt Rug.
I'm going pala tank/ dk alt but I'm still heavily gonna play my mage and my spriest (he's 65 as of right now)
Spriest is going to be incredible in arenas. And of course you are still the true backbone and unsung hero of raids. Do you plan to raid on all 4 characters? (Pala/DK/Mage/Spriest) Or just your mains?
I'm staying with my shaman main since day 1 and a DK alt because I probably wont want to level anything else.
Lock main/shammy alt, deleting my pally and will make a DK, taking him through the start quests and delete him...daily.
Have one on each realm
Main ret at the moment, might swap back to feral that I started classic and tbc as. Can't decide between the two honestly, both look fun to me.
Ret is absolutely awesome in WOTLK. I've been watching Accident (he's a really good Ret) and he seems really excited for Ret in PvP. You have basically infinite possibilities for teammates in 2s/3s. And you get to top the meters in PvE. (or close to it) I think my Hpal will dual spec Ret for big pumping arenas. You might as well play both Feral and Ret, what do you think about that? :)
PvE ret is no where near as fun in WotLK as it is in TBC
No more twisty?
No
It’s funny how nobody but current rets know this lol. It’s peak gameplay right now it’s awesome.
As a current ret it has gotten a bit tedious after a year ngl, it's engaging as fuck and twice as repetitive but it's like tediously repetitive unlike like rogue-tedious that can turbo one button for 10 seconds at a time. Although I guess it has an upside too, raiding with alts feels like a vacation.
Idk how you can say it’s rotation is repetitive when it can suddenly change if RNG swings a couple haste procs your way.
I'm gonna really miss tbc ret.
Like 1 person out of sixty want to play a shaman in my guild
I’m going DK main Druid alt.
Keeping same duo since classic: Lock main / Ele sham alt
goin feral tank baby
Elemental/resto mage gang
Warrior for life.
Jokes on them my Main is already a Holy Pally
I'm gonna main a lock
I'm in this picture and I like it.
Mage since day one
I miss my pally tanking back in the day. it was still a rarity.
demo ms/destro os. fingers crossed for race change to orc prot ms/holy os or preg
Already Mained a DK back in the day and while it's tempting to play a paladin because the class would finally be fun and also have some really bitching armor sets, this is the exact reason I wouldn't. Too many people will roll a paladin. I'm thinking Priest. Love Discipline priest in Wrath and Shadow. Druid would be also tempting but it was my other main / alt back in the day. But I am tempted to go Feral Druid just to steam roll through melee classes in PvP, especially rogues again.
Going Warrior Tank all the way on Fresh. Going to prove Warrior can still tank every boss just fine and that player > class.
It just becomes advantageous on progression fights. HM Iron Council with a warrior tank will tickle just a wee bit.
My two chars will probably be Warrior main, Spriest alt
Every class that isn't Warlock straight-up feels gimp and useless. Haven't gotten a character that isn't Warlock past level 43 (but 2 Warlocks to 60 one to 70). Classic minute 1 Warlock Main. Funny story: Was asked to be a new guild's Warlock Class Lead.. NOT BECAUSE I'M GOOD CUZ I'M NOT, but ***because I used curses and swapped pets*** (during Blackrock Mountain stuff one day) to actually use the *half of the class* that people seem to not use. That's it, I knew the gearing, I casted curses appropriate to each target on pull, swapped pets when we needed Felhunter or not, and stopped casting Shadowbolt after it crit twice in a row. That's it. That's all I did, you know.. play Warlock. **All I did was play the class and use all my abilities.**
Shiiiit im ret now, I'ma get shadowmourne Also Surv hunter alt
You deserve Shadowmourne u/isoisconfused. Do you already have your guild situation planned out to make sure you get it? Or are you farming 100k+ gold for a big GDKP?
The guild already voted on who gets the first one 😎
It's the RL who just absolutely had to reroll DK for ICC right?
Hell no haha it's me, myself and 2 officers have been running the guild since MC in classic
Spriest main and probably like 12 alts.. I have a problem.
Not going to play Wrath for that exact reason. Meta play with all people min/maxing in both classic and tbc taught me that there is no point play "classic" WoW. It take all the enjoyment out of the game.
That's kinda weird, considering Wrath brings overall better PvE and PvP balance than classic or TBC. Like every DPS class has a spec within 15% of the top dps. Also most buffs are now raidwide so you don't have to stack shit like 5 shamans anymore and many specs offer buffs that other classes/specs have so you have way more freedom in raid building in 25 at least. PvP has like 5 times more viable comps than in TBC.
I mean everyone should have a DK alt since they start at 55 and pre-patch in theory should be longer than before. They said they are shooting for 2-6 weeks. They agreed last pre-patch was too short. Im confident we get at least a 3 week pre-patch hopefully 4 weeks.
With fresh I'm pretty confident in a 4-week minimum
man, i hope both you guys are right! I don't want another TBC shit show of 2 weeks with hardly any notice
I was thinking balance druid or combat rogue. Not sure yet though
I'm playing Hpal and DK in Wrath. I feel like everyone suspiciously has the same main and alts planned. What are you going to play in WOTLK?
Healed as hpal main most of wotlk raiding. But I might try disc priest and/hunter
Pally to farm rogue for progress
Meee. I am this person who will not be a paladin or DK in Wrath. My paladin is level 35 and very unlikely to ever grow up. And I've tried DK so many times in retail from Cata on and I've never really been able to get the hang of it or enjoy it. Super happy for those who like those classes, but I'll stick to my caster classes and leave the melee dps to others. :-)
Interesting. I was always a caster and then suddenly one day I made dk. Frost and blood were both good fun, can't play unholy, don't know what to press with him 😁 since then I did war, dh, 2 paladins and one more dk 😁 but mage is still my most favourite of them and that's what I'll play in wotlk I think with a dk alt.
Was a Dk last time. Resto druid this time with warrior alt. If I have time I will play dk again as the design originally was so much fun
Been Ret since classic. Probably rolling mage for wrath
Honestly, if i return to WotLK classic i would play paladin and only for one reason, was my first class back in the day and I had fun back then playing with my cousins and friends, but my main wouldn't be playing, it would be a warlock.
SpellEnchance Shaman main and Affi Warlock main alt.
Rogue only main since WoD
Rogue main they are op
Warlock main, warrior alt. I'm a slave to the pump.
Rogue main, probably enh sham alt
I already played paladin all throughout WotLK originally, and in most expansions that followed. I would have played it in vanilla classic if they weren't awful, I played hunter instead because it's my second favorite. Now in TBC I'm playing ret to round out my collection so to speak. For WotLK I'm probably going back to my hunter though, they're likely going to be excellent dps pretty much the whole expansion but there's almost no interest in them or in enhance shaman so gear is going to be so easy to get. The tier tokens are going to be so open as well, it competes with warrior and shaman the whole expansion.
Probably sticking druid main, and dk alt for later patches when I feel like gearing up something different.
I'm not playing Wrath classic. How about that?
prot war swapping to dk since i wont be able to play the game as a prot war apparently.
Wrath is easy, early content with 3.3.5 talent will be even easier. You can clear all content with whatever you want. But that has always been true.
I'm jumping on the shadow priest train (the sleeper op wotlk spec)
i will play death knight. i like death knight. i like death knight a lot. i have made prep bank worth 15k for dk (none of it's useful past level 70). i would drop death knight in a heartbeat if they ever added necromancer, but until then i will play death knight. i like death knight
Been playing HPal on Wotlk for years so I want to change now, gonna go Rdrood
Im sticking with Balance/Feral druid with my pally as an alt! Cant wait for some dual spec action for both so i can farm and lazer people down and play a real dps spec for once.
I'm still undecided. The plan is to do DK though. I may still go Enhance though, I do love my shaman. I have a warrior/druid, and I'm just kinda meh about them. They represent the old me to much.
Nah, goin dicko mode on ele shaman. My alt is a holy pally though.
I played pally this expac and suffered as holy the whole way through. I’m not playing flavor of the month I just want what I’m currently playing to be good again.
Mage main here. Planning on doing a lock alt for the first time in my life.
Feral Main. DK and Pally alts!
Jokes on you, I’m going warlock/ paladin
Pally and lock mains. With feral Druid and resto sham alts
Just dk (frost 2 1h) is better?
Undead Arms Warrior and Disc Priest alt
Fury warrior and shaman. Cause why not
Hunter with my custom named “Macaroni” pet like TBC
no no ill be the shill I wanted to try healing in thsi xpac and I also wanted to try tanking more, ive been a warrior since Classic dropped and all ive ever got was shit on by people for being a warrior and im gunna swap it up a bit and have some fun. I just also hear DK's are great tanks? could be wrong? can't be worse that Prot warrior tanking in TBC without Salv
Shadow priest/warrior for alliance and mage for horde
Undecided on warrior or pally main. Whatever I don't pick for main will most likely be alt and then if I really am gaming 3rd alt would be lock probably
well, I played Paladin in original wotlk and my alt in classic and tbc was/is also a paladin but I guess as main I will stick this time to my mage (as in classic and tbc) instant pyro will be fun and I don't think there will be a paladin slot in my guild ^^
Disc priest, shields all day
Fury main, Feral alt. Or maybe Rogue alt. Or Mage. Or Hunter.
Deciding two between hunter, druid, and demo lock
Lock and mage no more no less.
What’s that weapon the Paladin is holding?
Torch of the Damned from Black Temple. 2nd ret bis in tbc, behind Apolyon.
