WoW question. (if you had free lvling 1-60)

[Glickman]

a friend owes me money, which isnt too much but im not in dire need of money right now with a steady job.

anyway, this friend is a WoW maniac and offered to lvl 1-60 a char for me.

i already have a 40 rogue, but thats all i know how to play.

so my question is (since i dont want 2 rogues) what would you guys recommend as a good endgame pvp/instancing alliance class?

[Coralis]

Since I dont have a level 60 char and am not in a big end game guild or anything my advice be totally off base, but from my experiences playing EQ for six years says your best bet would be a tank or priest as you cannot raid without those classes (atleast you couldnt in EQ)

[teufelhunden]

You're going to need something easy to play because you won't be learing to play the character yourself; that rules out a warrior. As was mentioned, everybody loves healing classes, so you could do paladin, priest, or druid[listed from easiest to hardest to play, as I'd found when I was still playing]. Also, warlocks seem to be lacking in a lot of guilds and there's always a boatload of warlock loot that gets sharded because... well, nemesis and stormrage ftl.

My advice would be probably the warlock; it's a DPS class so your lack of performance will be less noticable than if you were a tank or a healer, is hella overpowered in pvp [deathcoil + chain fear ftllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll l] and generally won't have a problem finding a guild. Also, as you're gearing up for endgame in trash zones you can learn to play the class decently. Really not tough... corruption shadowbolt shadowbolt shadowbolt shadowbolt shadowbolt shadowbolt

Oh, my perspective comes from a rank 13+8/8 trans priest

Shaman or fury warrior.

Shammy's are retardedly powerful, and the their talent update is making them even more so.

I agree with Teuf, lock is probably the best idea. Theyre generally easy to play in PvE raiding, and at the same time theyre ownage in PvP. I personally am a Mage, and trust me, Molten Core is a cake walk for me. Being a lock would be even easier because you rule out all the stupid decursing. And in lvl 60 PvP locks can own up on just about every class.

I'm not quite on par with teuf as far as having full tier 2, but I do have 5/8 of my tier 1 and 1/8 of my tier 2 set

He said alliance, meaning no Shammys.

haha yep.


too bad, wouldve been nice to have a "shammy i win button"


but actually, far as ive seen (lvl 40)
shammys' ownage starts to decline after everyone gets mounts

[Army]

What the.............?

[Glickman]

What the.............?

yes, its a disease.



to (seriously) quote my friend:

"I went to psychologist yesterday. i made some joke that i didnt realize was warcraft related. Then my psychologist turns to me and says.... you play too?"

If he rolls an alliance when everyone and their brother knows that shammys are by far the best class in the game then he needs his head checked.

game doesn't even start until 60...

[yeahthatsme]

i learned to play on a 60 warrior, and was in one of the top guilds on my server(i got the char at 60 from a friend) it just takes alot of work. if you dont wanna put a ton of work into learning the class, i'd take a warlock as suggested.

[Altimas]

Definately a warlock, Only responsibility you have is summoning before the raids having an Imp out and Banishing the occasional mob...Other than that you can just DPS accordingly.

i already have a 40 nightelf rogue, so unless i wanna gamble with the exploit of having a horde and alliance on the same server, i gotta stick with alliance

where did you get the idea that having both on the same server was "an exploit"???

I mean I can understand if you're dedicated to a raiding guild that's regularly doing BWL/AQ40 like mine is, but if you're going to have a new character made, why would you not make it a shammy?

Or simply roll whatever alliance you like and also do one?

makes no sense
