Casual Raiding Class?

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I used to raid way back in the day in vanilla and loved it. I was never really hardcore though so I have a lot to learn.

 

I can't be a really devoted raider these days, but it would be fun to get into the content. Is it possible to raid casually on Elysium, either in a guild or just in pugs? If so, should I choose a needed class that isn't too hardcore (no MTing for me...) or will I still have the chance to get in as a more common DPS? I don't want to always be waiting and waiting for a chance to get into groups because I'm the billionth huntard in queue.

In casual guilds you can join a raid as any class/spec most of the time. Don't worry about that, play what you like.

Enh Shammy it is, then! I know for competitive guilds they'll take MAYBE one, but whatevs. That way I can DPS or heal for dungeons while leveling

Mage and warlock are really easy to do decent on and usually in relatively high demand. It will still take a lot of research to max out your dps capabilities though.

if you're a druid or shaman and not resto you probably won't get a spot. 

The thread's title is "Casual Raiding Class".

Enh Shaman is not a 'casual raiding class's. If any one raid only needs ONE enh Shaman, it'll be a spot filled by a dependable raider.

You're better off as lock or mage if want to casual.

Exactly -  Lock or Mage both extremely fun shadow/frost bolt simulators :)

Are you sure you know what "casual" means though?

I would think in this case it means picking a class that is desired in raid group compositions.  Picking a spec a raid only needs 1 of makes it unlikely to be invited to a guild or pug raid and therefore would make it difficult to log on intermittently and do raid content.

On Ely I always see guilds and pug raids looking for ranged dps and healers. If you really want instant invite though roll dwarf priest.

Mage, warlock, or any healer are your best choices.

Hunter , maybe... For example, hunters are on demand in Anathema

Rogue, fury, SP youll get a spot only on full moons

Ret, enhancement, feral totally a no-go

Id pick warlock if you go alliance, thats like instant invite to PuGs
