Hey guys, I'm planning to start Wow all over again.
As usual I'm having class dilemma again.
I wanna roll a BE so I'm considering either a Paladin or a Mage.
I have never played a Tank before (my previous toon was a lv70 pre WotlK Hunter) and I thought of trying one. Can Paladins be main tanks? Another thing is I think pallies armor sets are a lil ugly. They all look like power rangers.
I'm considering a Mage because I think they're armor sets look pretty cool but I heard they're difficult to solo group quests and I'm gonna be playing another DPS class.

Advice please?

play paladin bcuz t9 are all same lol.

go with paladin

paladin tank = OP
paladin dps = medium
paladin heal = OP

and with paladin u can just 1-2 shots mobs when lvling..super easy mode. hard to die n Awesome

paladin lah. u get more options. u can tank, dps or heal whenever u feel like it. U go to instance u get loads of offspec gear.

DONT PLAY PALADIN!
they are trapping you bro. they are too many paladins man trust me play a warrior or warlock. hell at some times in jubei we pug voa25 with no warlocks!!!!! i srsly suggest you go get a lock up n runnin. why are u playng wow back Mw2 failure?

I have a 80 paladin and it's pretty nice to play, I am a tank and overall it's fun and paladin can for sure be main tank without problem (they are considered the best class at it right now actually).

My main is a lock and I do agree with Jas2davir that they are somehow becoming rare, I very often end up being the only one in the raid even when pugging VoA or something.

In general there is a lack of some clothie dps and wayyyyy too many plate dps (loldks), so you need to decide what you wanna do, if you are you sure you want to dps only, mage can be nice (lock as well but thats not in your list ^^).

If you are not sure yet and would like the flexibility at 80 to do other thing than dps, I would say go paladin, you won't really regret it. But if you want to be a ret paladin only, you are going to be a drop in the middle of the sea....

if u are a paladin, u gotta stand out...
there's just too much paladins out there (same as DKs)...

If u want a class thats hard-to-find and gets easy raid spots, Roll a Druid.

If you like pure dps class then roll a mage. No regrets.

get undead mage laaaaa.... racial ok, dance ok, simple animation

BE is just... ghay... and BE Paladin is more than just ghay... (unless you roll a female toon and bare with the flat chest...)

roll everything!

I though its the shammy that hard-to-find and gets easy raid spots
RL pick them for their bloodlust buff. most short pug raid(voa, onyx, eoe os) pick only 1 shammy.

anyway back to topic,

Male blood elf does looks ghay, but if you can look pass that, arcane torrent is a really nice silence racial. While female BF got a really small hand held weapon(doesn’t matter if you're a mage anyway)

paladin is really nice, overall, plate armor, tankable, healer, dps, pvp.
Most pvp Paladins(of all levels) give me a images of a brain dead pvp paladin,
I mean in bg, the pally start with range stun(idk whats the spell name) from behind you, divined storm behind you, then do the move back and forth(the rape move like the rogues likes to do) and keep do the movement and cast some spell till your dead, and repeat the next victim.

if you got a lag connection, stay away from melee class.

mages at early level are a pain to level if you main got a combat pet (hunter/lock)
you keep forgetting you ARE VERY SQUISHY. (i know, main is a lock, keep forget i got no demon armor and no combat pet to tank some elite)
people keep ask for free food and water.
but like all class, things improve as you get higher level, more spell, and you get use to it.
mages are interesting pvp machine, lots of cool tricks: invisible, mirror image, ice block, blink, frost nova, etc
and they can port the major city anytime anywhere,
sell port is a plus

that my opinion, i'll go mage if i were you, but i'm not you.
only you can pick what you really like, maybe you go back to you hunter when you feel leveling is a dry experiance.

peace

@TS: why you decide based on gears outlook 1? 'cos gears are changable!

Druid is fun!

I've always been a mage... & I can't live w/o the convenience of teleportations!

In AB lm, /stealth, sneak, sneak, sneak, /target someone close to the cliff,
/typhoon!

Depends on server gua, my old server flooding with druids.

now being a ret is so hard too much fkn armor pen on the dam togc gears really annoying and when u roll for leathers all of them frown at you

Haha cos i cant think of any other way to choose what to play.
I'm ok with playing anything so the easiest way to limit my choices is to pick based on looks.

play hunter man. i used to play a hunter and SOME ONE GOT IT HACKED!!!!! now im going to reroll hunta on mah 4 months holiday >:)

Hmm.... still dilemma... aihz
Heard theres loads and tons of paladins around too lately.
That true?
