Well i was asked by a friend to join cause she wanted that Zherva (did i spell it right) mount and poof here i am. Im n Bleeding Hollow btw, hordie. I've read some guides etc on the 3 classes but have yet to decide what to go for.

Im wondering between priest or a warrior to choose. Reason for a priest is that i enjoy being useful to a group while being sort of hard to keel (Umm Disp amirite?)

But then again warriors seems to be fun to pvp with with a big 2hander doing good bursts though i understand that warriors are very dependent on their equipment to achieve some amazing damage.

Mages also seem fun, being glass cannons in most games but doing tremendous damage is always something i enjoy to do in games but from what i know their extremely hard to master and have a small margin for errors.


Which do you think i should go for though? Im not that new to the game but ive never retailed sooooo..... This is gonna be my first char too. I dont mind a slightly steep learning curve as long as the end turns out fun.

Feel free to post your ideas etc on what you recommend instead and why.

What is your friend's class?

She has a priest at around 67, but im lvling with her lock atm.

post her pic and we will help u decide which class u should play

Lawl no.

i got a strange answer for you, when you can't decide which to play, and you "think" you like to do all three things...

go Paladin, shaman, and Druids

all three can do all what you like, healing, casting almost like a mage(but not in big numbers), and melee, because they are the hybird class.
they can do it all, BUT can't do it very well .

the sad part of being druids, you can't see your Epic weapon/armor, since you spend most of your time in other than human form .

the sad part of being a priest is when pug(put up group/group with someone you don't know) in an instance, some jerk dies, he'll just blame you when its obviously his fault. although this RARELY happens, but its just ruins the moment.

i play warlock because i DON"T want to play to the "good" class anymore, and once i got the taste of "evil", i never look back .

the BEST answer for you:
is to ask your friend to explain how every class works(not in wow, in RL or by phone) since you help em' get the mount. its only fair that she help you understand how each class works. she IS your friend, not using you to get the mount... right ?

playing the class that feels right is important and a very enjoying experiance. and can last for a life time

P.S. you friend playing wow is a "she"? cool.

pic or it never happen

if she would wanted to make lock as her new main, ill suggest a mage for some PvP pwnzzor

if she still keen with priest as her main, pick up Warrior. at least when both of you play together you just need to go "LF3M DPS XX instances!" simple!

just play a rogue ezmode no need any trouble and what ever she plays u can always compliment her as a rogue.

Well, warrior is equally important as a priest. They are rare tankers. However, you will only be wanted when u reached 67-70. That's where you shine out.

Therefore, from 1-66, you can try DPS and tank from then on. Sometimes, the fun of tanking is not always about the damages you do. Is how you keep your team mates ALIVE by holding agro.

GL.

priest. easy to play, hard to master. ho ho ho ho

warrior? well why would u want to roll 1. theres over 9000 of them running around out there. they are not "rare". only a handful have decent clues on how to be a good tank. heck i lvled my pally by just chain-instancing from lvl 40 onwards with a warr tank.

well in every 100 warrior, 15 specced prot, in those 15, only 5 might have even the simplest idea of what they are doing...

if you think you can be versatile (tank for PvE and arms for PvP), i dont see warrior is a bad choice.

Kalgan play warrior remember, so he definitely going to keep buffing them Warriors!!!

warriors is boring la they emo too fast when u use new shits on them like frosttrap kite they QQ frostmage kite they QQ rogues crip poision kite they QQ warlocks 14k hp they QQ

paladin or shaman. good hybrids.

as for lock, she should be hard to kill if she spec right.

Hmmm, mixed feelings in em all eh. Well im not much of a pally or shammy liker really. xD Druids and rogues are out cause their kinda everywhere plus rogues should be the most overplayed char in mostly every game anyways.

You're thinking of hunters.

Hunters eh might try it but doesnt sound interesting. I do know that their the quickest to 70 though.

im thinking of rolling a mage, i just want to blast my way through things, i dont like support heroes like healers <-wops dota thingy right there.

U ain't seen quick until you've seen a Frost Mage and an Affliction Lock in action.

Added on September 19, 2008, 10:41 amHmm...I have a dwarf priest in Bleeding Hollow actually. Created during downtime to have some fun with friends there. Then never leveled again.

Mages - shouldn't be difficult to master lah. So cheesy already.

Priest - Make sure your oh-shit buttons easy to reach. Go shadow so that less downtime for mana drinking. Plus, in shadowform, you're equivalent to a mail wearer. U can still decently heal in shadow until level 70 dungeon instances.

Shaman - Get a weapon that is speak 2.3 i think (have to check EJ forums). Burst damage is crazy for Enh. And emergency chain healing is always good. Just that while leveling up, not enough mana until u get the TBC gear.

Pally - Going to be wearing cloth healing gear until u reach lvl 70. Grinding in Ret and then maybe AOE at 30-40, can't remember. Check wowwiki.com --> Talent Builds.

Not Shaman. Definitely not a Shaman.

Yes, I play a Shaman. No, you don't want to be one. Trust me.

Hmm i hear shammies have a hard time without any CC abilities.

no cc is just what noob shamans whine n b****.

they have other, more important issues/problems than just cc.
in fact, snares counts as cc, they got FS/EB.

The main issues are survivability and mobility. And getting a developer who actually plays the Shaman. Yes, none of them do, they admitted it.

uhu....get an enchance shaman give him a soul cleaver and let him have butt seks with u when windfury procs.

post the pic of ur female friend n we will decide what class u should play
(ya i know this is a repost)

Don't worry about CC so much. U'll be fine.

Warrior is easy to play IMO.

Still a no. Lol, go dig around Bleeding Hollow's Forum. >_>

Heh. Like i said No means No. Nice armory. xD

So what class u decided on? U never say yet leh.

Think imma stick to warrior since people say that their easier and maybe roll a mage when im bored of playing a warrior.

Here's what you can expect from being a Warrior:

Skip to halfway of the 1st video or Just watch the 2nd video if you want to skip the long-ass intro.

Ahh Pat and his insane crits. Yea i know about it xD

Am I Doin' It Right?

my experience lvling char to 70;
Warrior is the hardest class to level i would say, 3mobs, fear.. cd??means death.sometimes 2 also can kiok. strongly depends on your gear, meaning u hav to spend money on AH
Shaman easier. enhance burst dmg, 3 mobs can handle easily.no need to think about running. If >3 mobs, stoneclaw+run or earthbind+run~~
Rogues..hmm..not as hard as a Warrior but Shaman is alot easier.

Thats in term of lvling.
After 70 life? its diff tho.
PVE.Prot warrior is in need. yeah ur the 'important guy' in raid/party. its fun being important and bossy sometimes. or u can go spec ms and do PVP arena.

Gah maybe mage is a better choice for me then. Im not much of a leader kinda person and from what i know, prot tanks are the ones in charge.

i have a warrior and a shaman. i love my shaman crazily.

for PVE raids anyone can be in charge, not just the prot warrior. PVP wise, its really what kind of playstyle that you prefer. Dont choose a class because its OP'ed or popular now, you might not like playing the class (e.g i hate playing my alt lock, using him to herb). From my point of view, as my main is a shaman, PVP is all about survivability (being resto) and burst (elemental/enhance).
For me i enjoy going into bg's with a 2hander and raid gear and just smack everyone silly. Granted, i die a lot, but hey 3k WF crits one shotting mages is one hell of a stress release after work .

Ahhh, well that changes things in perspective then. Cause i always thought the tanks were the ones who controlled the raids and being new to this all would suck alot.

Studies from MARA have shown TBC raiders to be 13.18% more responsive to a raid leader that is playing a male tauren enhancement shaman (also known as MTES). A related study also shows that 60%+active raid members are 26.91% less prone to a recurring symptom known as "E.M.O." when a male tauren enhancement shaman is leading the raid.

An unproven but currently being researched linkage is the recent 2007 survey results that MTES players have the highest ventrilo voice quality rating.

....wtf aggro

Terrorhoof has died.

T.T

...

vending machine ftw!

sorry, but what do mages do to raids again?

warrior is really hard to lvl. im a casual with a lvl19 warrior into the 11th day. this isnt my first time.

u gotta see how much i spent on repairs. if u pull >1, only thing u can do is turn into def stance and start running. if ur running and got dazed and more than 1 mob is tailing u, if u dont have a pot, ur almost certain to be dead. to pull a thunderclap, u got to hit twice with ur melee (assuming u got shield) and use bloodlust (which cuts ur health). thats a lot of hp gone. and thunderclap doesnt even slow enuf.

hamstring is better but putting it on 2 pursuing mobs is a pain.

if lets say ur fighting a mob and things dont go well, u got major problems. u can always try hamstring though although my exp with it is even after hamstring the mob will still hit u a few more times.

when it comes to quests involving camps of mobs, u usually have to find a group cuz u cant handle more than a mob unless ur well geared or outlvl the mobs.

and in pvp, if u dont win, u die. i used to play a rogue and when i cant win i simply pop vanish, if i got a dot, i pop cloak of shadows beforehand. if it's rend, i pop sprint. easy mode. as a warrior, if i do intimidating shout on the rogue to run, the rogue can do sprint and i still die.

i heard in wotlk beta, warriors are useless in pvp.

Maybe the warrior class is not for you, my friends and I didn't have much problems leveling one to lv70.

Of course classes like BM hunters or protadins will always be a lot faster, but that's another story.

Wow the spam is strong in this thread. Anyways i made a warrior and lvling with a friend. So far so good with exp x3.

heaven at left , warriors belong to the right..
unless u choose for pve and tanker ..
