Howdy everybody,
Jyash here, I'm excited to start playing on this server. I played a night elf hunter in vanilla (clearly, you know that I was a noob from that alone, but trust me, I was neither a dishonest nor entirely incompetent player! Although a noob certainly) and mostly alliance in vanilla.
While thinking about which class to play, I'm trying to remember some things.
Are Paladins viable tanks at all past the leveling phase? Or is holy the only way to go. I remember Ret being quite useless. Also, how good are paladin's at soloing content (such as quests, being out in the world etc.)?
Druids, if I remember correctly, can tank things up to UBRS, maybe ZG and AQ 20, but not viable in Molten Core. Am I remembering correctly?
Since I didn't play much horde back in the day, how viable are shamans in their different specs?
What seems to be lacking in dungeon and raid groups? It sounds like mostly tanks from dungeons, although there are an excess of them in raids. Also, am I hearing correctly that hunters (is this actually a vanilla server? ) are in high demand along with mages and warlocks? This suggests that healers are in excess.
Of course these things aren't all that matter to me, nor the most important. I just thought it would be nice to check up first.
What really draws me to a class are things like, lockpicking, kiting, levitate, slow fall, stealth, feign death, resurrection, portals, summoning, etc. A lot of the really cool niche things.
One of my favorite things in vanilla was pulling and kiting mobs, so I'm tempted to play a hunter again. But I feel like I should do something different this time around. Currently I'm most interested in playing a Druid, Paladin or Hunter. I've never really played a paladin much in any version of the game so that could be fun. Although I also think being Horde would be cool since I didn't do that much in vanilla.
I want something that can solo well, is useful in any situation or group, and is most importantly fun with interesting or nontraditional spells/abilities.
Thanks for all of your help. I know I asked a lot of questions, so feel free to just answer one or two if it so pleases you.
EDIT: Just thought I'd mention that my goal is to do the end game dungeons, big quest chains, and the earlier raids like ZG 20, BWL, MC and AQ20. But I'm going to be doing it somewhat casually. I don't necessarily plan on doing naxx or AQ 40.
Also, I like tanking, healing and dps. And I love to pvp!
