need insight on picking a class, boobies in return ;)

Recommended Posts

I've played since beta.

I've hit rank13 on a EleMage and SurvHunter, rank10 on a SF/Prep rogue and some weird ele/resto build on a shaman, all while raiding in a top guild that peaked@Saph(On my hunter.)

After that I've done arena above 2.5k and random pve bullshit, but each xpac made me hate the game more and more.

 

Basically having a really hard time choosing between:

Warrior (MS/Enrage in pvp prob fury or tanking for pve)

Paladin (holy because what else is there....)

Priest (some weird disc/shadow spec for pvp and whatever works for healing in pve the best with gear setup)

 

As you can see its not really an easy choice, if only paladin was the middle ground between priest and warrior like it should have been.  Alas, in pvp I feel I'm up against a wall, do I get healed(or not healed at all) and do the warrior jam.... or do I be the healer that makes the warrior want to jerk off?

Saying I pick the second option, which healer is in a better spot currently?  The server I played on for pre-bc retail was very skewed in the favor of alliance, horde had no healers at all, alliance had a mega-guild full of healers/warriors lol.  I never really found out first hand which the better of the two was, or why.  I can only assume that paladins are harder to kill, and dont go oom ---- priests have more utility, and with the right gear can be a pain to kill.

 

If I pick a warrior, will I end up lost in the crowd, starved to find attention of a healer?  

 

PvE wise are there a million tanks already, are there a million healers.... Typically I would assume its like retail was, hard to find a healer or tank, even hard to find a decent one?

 

I would love some insight of someone who has played on the server, does both pve/pvp content, and is willing to possible chat with me and help me make a choice.

 

I am also going into this solo, I don't have help leveling, anyone to pvp/pve with.  Will it be hard to find groups for either, and will it be easier or harder as xyz? 

 

THANKS A TON!!!!

for dps its warlock, even ally

ranged, lots of insta casts/no hardcasting,10k effective life with healthstone+sac, as much defence if not more than leather wearers due to the demon armor, and offensive dispel/being able to dispel off yourself as well. Just tabdot enemies in BGS and watch  them melt, real easy mode. Dont have to worry about melee range like hunters or running out mana in a middle of a fight like mages due to LT

physical based stuns will hurt you though like cheap shot/intimidation/warrior stuns since you cant dispel that off yourself but thats where all your armor comes into play and vv sac/deathcoil. 

Only a UD spriest can stand up to a warlock  1v1 and even then its a tough matchup. green geared warlocks will melt epic geared warriors/rogues

For heals its a tough choice...dwarf pala vs dwarf priest they are both OP in the right circumstances. Pala bubble is nice to take that 1st zerg in WSG if you premade vs premade, you can go into the enemy team and bubble just as you are about to die , while the horde team would waste their instants/cds on you. huge armor too pala can stack stam like 8k life/4k mana so you can be a healer tank who just cant die. Only thing which hurts them is lack of offensive spells besides HoJ

priest is  just...wonderful. dispel just like a shammy, 5 sec silence , crazy heals. I personally played a hybrid pvp priest healer, just so i had the 5 second silence since you NEED IT to peel off yourself since ppl suck at peeling off you. Ye you will be missing a few holy/disc talents but with all the+healing gear you get your heals are very strong already and improved psychic scream is nice as well. just dont take shadowform. blackout is nice too

dont waste your mana on last ranks of sw pain, put r1 on peeps, if you are a healer. of course if the need arises go full dmg when required

also dont bother running instances unless you are twinking, YES DONT BOTHER. you can level much faster by grinding especially if you are a warlock. tab dot multiple mobs with voidwalker. that and you will get sick of running dungeons once you hit 60 to get bis gear. i leveled a 2nd character without running any instances until lvl 50(class item from ST)and it was much, much faster. exp is split between 5 players and vanilla elites have crazy health

if youve been playing since beta then you should know all this, not much changed between the vanilla beta and actual release. A few key spells and talents have been cut/replaced but nothing major. also this server is running 1.1.12 talent trees so you arent going to get stuck with the shitty talents which were on game launch/1.1.0
