World of Warcraft Message Board  

tell me ur favorite class type im new and need to know what i should start off with and why?

start off with whatever class looks funnest to you. i think rougue or warrior would be best for a newbie though.
my fav class is probaly the priest. i love being a shadow priest. mind control is pwnage, priests look cool(shadowform pwns), + you get a team easy because you can heal.

let me go through a list for you
warroir-can take tonnes of damage and can deal moderate melee damage.

rogue-an all out melee damage dealer, can stealth use posions. low health

hunter- moderate health ,has a pet ,great ranged damage, moderate melee damage, and has some nice abilitlys

warlock- can summon pets, can use curses to weaken enemys, great health and mana ,have a nice evil look about them.

priest- moderate health and mana but has astonashing healing abilitys.

shaman-great health and mana, good spells ,can heal has totems

paladin-see abovr minus the totems but can ressurect

mage-weak health massive mana and great damageing spells

dunno if i missed one

Well, it depends what race you wanna be tbh...
Dwarves are best as Warriors and Paladins
Humans are best as Paladins, Priests and Mages
Night Elves are best as Rogues, Druids and Hunters
Gnomes are best as Warlocks and Rogues
Orcs are best as Warriors and Hunters (Not so much Hunters)
Undead are best as Priests, Mages and Warlocks
Trolls are best as Mages and Shamans
Taurens are best as Warriors, Hunters and Druids.

- That's my opinion.

I also recommend making a Horde character first... they all look ugly but they're the best xD

Get a lvl 60 Horde character, then have a go at Alliance...

Btw, if you're gonna be a Gnome, pick Engineering as one of your Professions! You get a boost with lvling it up if you're a Gnome. If you pick Engineering, get Mining as well. That goes for all the other professions, too. Everything goes with something, like Engineering and Mining, Skinning and Leatherworking, Alchemy and Herbalism, ect.

Don't forget that Paladins can resurrect, Riandro =]

at level 60 race has very little to do with your class. for example at level 1, a dwarf warrior has twice the health of a gnome warrior, but at level 60 they'll have very little, if any difference. gear is what makes the class, not race. however racials can help, the nelf +dodge racial makes for an awsome prot warrior. and the orc +pet damage makes them excelent locks and BM hunters, and if your rolling priest its even more important. dwarfs for example get fear ward, which is more or less nessisary for raiding on alliance since we dont have tremor totems.

(forgot to answer the question)
Personally, I love the warrior class. its easy to learn, but takes some time to master. As the main tank and warrior officer of a 100 man molten core guild I love my class. 5/8 might and nearly 6k health unbuffed. not to mention I have a good team of people working with me to get my thunderfurry made (legendary quality sword, think awesomeness forged into something solid and deadly) And I'm the backbone of the guild. its a huge responsibility, but if your good enough at your job your more or less going to get your gear faster than the average person.

Well i started this thing and now i have a lvl 20 night elf hunter with a wind serpent pet but for dual-weild im getting 2 sword i got one with minor beastslayer enchantment and my other i bid on so ya but i'm all set now

Dude amazing choice :P Hunters is an amazing class for people new to the game becasue u woudl have to be pretty damn stupid to do anything wrong i mena auto hsot FTW! pets are fun to have around and they are incredibly useful
only a couple tips to know:
- dont melee unless u really have to...get used to meleeing at low levels and 60 will be hell...your melle may only be an eighth of the DPS that ur ranged deals
- take up first aid, it saves lives
- take advice from other hunters because with hunters there are maybe one or two good ways to play so learn them
-Have fun in WoW, hunters are a fun class so enjoy them
