Please help me choose a class

[JesterJones 0]

I always struggle choosing a class to main and I don't think I've ever struggled more than I am now. Not that I feel this will make much of a difference but I am deciding a class for the fresh PvP realm, I already have a main on the old PvE realm (rogue). I want to have a somewhat equal balance of PvE and PvP. 

 

Okay so to give you some information to hopefully help me choose, Part of this is me trying to figure out if I want to play Hunter, Warrior, or Paladin. I will be giving both my positive and negative views on them. Most of the negative views stem from my OCD that makes certain aspects of some classes. 

 

Hunter - I have not played one at max since retail vanilla. However, there is a thing that I really want to do where I become the richest person on the server (a long with hopefully helping out whatever guild I end up in), and I know if I'm going to do that I need to be on the best farming class in the game. My only problem with them is that I have OCD, so I have this terribly bad habit of my pet making me very anxious, I am always worried I won't feed it enough and it will run away. 

 

Mage - I have played one at max recently and have a lot of fun on it, however, even though it is my favorite class I have played recently, there are some nagging issues that have bothered me (and it is not the mage biscuits, that is actually my favorite part because it forces people to be my friend lol). They are terribly overpopulated, and after playing one a lot it seems that I may have had my fill of playing mage. However, someone may be able to convince me otherwise. 

 

Warrior - I always envied them when I was playing horde on Nost or Kronos. So, being a tank always seems so awesome to me, and there is also another massive plus, I love the Fury warrior, making it my favorite DPS and Tank in the game. The reason I love it so much is because the rotation of every warrior spec is almost always situational, making me not have to constantly check my spells and look at my bar because the actual game play is the most important part. However, the problems come in to play when I have to level, I have tried leveling a warrior 2 times or so and every time I do I always give up because there are other classes that are appealing to me. There is also a small problem (even though I haven't experienced end game and simply told about by other warriors), and it's that they are so terribly overpopulated. The point of overpopulated where they might actually beat rogues in the Elysium server. 

 

Paladin - I have also not played one at max since retail vanilla. However, in nearly every game I play I main a support, so naturally having them be my favorite role, and now that my buddies are rolling Alliance, I have the opportunity to play one again. Honestly, no class except the warrior ever seems to even come close to how awesome I feel playing one. There is also a nice plus making them (or maybe the mage) the 2nd best farmer in the game as holy shield conc spec (AoEadin). There really is only one problem with me playing a paladin. It's that you are called a buffadin for a reason. In raids in retail what would always make me play worse is that I couldn't help but constantly check to make sure that every single person that needs to be buffed by me is buffed or how long until they need to be. 

 

So judging by that information what do you guys think I should main? (I will be alting all of the classes btw, I just need to decide a class to big dick once Elysium fresh PvP comes out) 

 

EDIT: I was alt tabbing out of Overwatch and found a way to post the topic before I was even close to being done while I was exiting ;-;

There are no bad classes/specs, outside of fire mage in MC/BWL.

 

If you're a good player, you'll do fine in PvP and get a raid spot.

Huh, reading all this? I'd say go with pally it's a joke to lvl go prot you get some armor afk, here's a more in depth thought from me..

 

If you want to play warrior. Well, get ready to lead and be a alpha kinda person, You will ALWAYS fight for a spot as a tank, and be leading in some form dungis or raids. The golden age of warriors is nearing a dawn for your normal guy. You're Elite or not, no middle ground for warriors. That's of course if you even make it to 60 They're a SOB to level you have to have friends with you, have people surround you so that when you get cap you'll already have a group to help gear and play with be ready to spend 4-12 hours a day for gearing pre raid BIS before you think about raiding or farm insanely for Arcane crystals If you want to dps warrior Horde is much better. Tank both factions will love you, but you must fight to be worthy of leading or tanking some one will always try to be better then you and always is better then you, it's a endless battle. That makes  tanking so damn good. PVP wise sorta the same you need friends.

If you want to play Pally! Well, you'll never have to try hard at most things if you heal, Everyone loves a damn Holy pally for PVP And PVE so if you're good at support you'll be loved, If you're a support PVP ret pally  / holy pally even better, you can even tank 5 mans and 10's So alot of options alot less work. For raiding you heal or bust honestly, More so buffing and general support then over the top be the best healer. Leveling they're easy to do, dull but not bad.

If you want to play a Mage... Well HAH! everyone wants a god damn mage in their raids and groups. So much that hell people will take more then wanted because of how  OP Mages are in PVP And in PVE they're one of the best classes to play DPS with doing the least work great for farming for alts as well You'll almost always find a raid spot and a PVP spot if you're not horrible at the game

If you want to play hunter. Be ready to again Fight and make your life hard. Pets are a Must you need to farm certian pets for hours against other hunters and drop alot of gold into pet arrows etc etc. It's a rewarding class since there isn't that many who are 60 and skilled etc, you'll get a raid spot since they're needed for raiding but you'll never be top dps it's a certian type of honor and sense of duty being a skilled hunter that deserves respect, that is rarely given. 

That's just my two cent honestly pick what you enjoy the most to be fair

I also got this struggle. I can't make the decision for you, but maybe my thought might fit yours.

 

I played from late Vanilla (shortly before TBC start) till mid WoD. Mained my Pally (at the start Holy, Wotlk and Cata ret, at the and tank). Most played alt was my warlock. raided a  lot with them.

 

That said I decided if I play on a fresh server then I'll start completely from scratch. So no pally and no warlock. 
Hunter, druid and hunter does not really fit my taste and I have been told that there will be a bunch load of rouges around. 
So at the end I came down to warrior and mage. Like on retail, one with plate armor for my main and one caster as my first alt.

And to be honest: If I dont like them... I create a new one. I want to play for fun and not because I think some raid might need me or not.

Yes, there are a lot of people living inside the mages/warriors. I used to live in one myself but I couldn't stand so many neighbours sharing the same elevator, so I ended up moving. Now I'm enjoying all the advantages of living in a rogue and I couldn't be happier.

Considering your own thoughts about the classes, Roll Paladin. They wont be overpopulated, their t2 looks amazing, they are necessary in any alli-raid group, are strong MT healers, and with the right gear a Retardin is annoying as hell in PvP. The raidbuffing is annoying, yes, but only one downside.

With 15 minute class-wide blessings and PallyPower addon, it's not really that difficult.
