...My orc shaman is my first an favorite character.<br /><br />Close second is my warrior, even if I hated leveling him.<br /><br />I don't like everything that is male bloodelf. I don't like bloodelfs in general. I rolled some myself when the race was all new and shiny, but now their race is one of the reasons why I don't level them further.drughttp://www.shieldsup.chnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-62748704737880799742009-06-04T09:03:15.382-07:002009-06-04T09:03:15.382-07:00Priests are tough, I have one that is shadow, sing...Priests are tough, I have one that is shadow, single targets are fine (use a macro to use shield on yourself, its just like frost barrier, just you get it EARLY). They just completely lack anything resembling AoE (Holy nova DOES NOT COUNT).<br /><br />My least fav class is easily Rogue. They're squishy, slow when stealthing (compared to my druid), arent viable at range and seem to exist purely as an annoyance in PvP.Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653252976648480240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-8531047462820877692009-06-04T09:01:22.287-07:002009-06-04T09:01:22.287-07:00You're are 100% correct to want a Disc Priest,...You're are 100% correct to want a Disc Priest, since I loved having one heal me while tanking I thought "Why not see the otherside of the fence" My Main is a Prot warrior, but I just got my Disc Priest to 80 and she's quickly becoming my Favorite toon. Leveling wasnt to bad, went Shadow, with the right gear there's very little down time and I never thought I was too squishy to take on 2-3 mobs at a time. Priests can be a grind but just get to 80 and you will LOVE it. Knowing what a tank has to do makes you a better healer right off the bat.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997699545807603959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-84884484322952503722009-06-04T07:42:53.601-07:002009-06-04T07:42:53.601-07:00Heh, my favorite has been the shaman, actually. M...Heh, my favorite has been the shaman, actually. My main is a shadow priest (could never get much into healing, but shadow priests just look so COOL!) and I've loved playing it ever since turning 40 and getting my shadow form, but my enhancement shaman? All kinds of awesome - I can heal myself, I can use my earth elemental totem to tank in a pinch, I can use my fire elemental totem to clear a room full of mobs, I have my fun spirit wolves, I use a combination of spells and melee dps abilities, I can dual-wield, I provide raid buffs with windfury and flametongue totems, plus heroism ... what's not to love? The first 40 levels were sort of slow, admittedly, but once I got dual-wield? Just. Plain. Awesome.<br /><br />My least favorite class to play? It's a tie. The first is a hunter. I've never liked really having a permanent pet to worry about, which is why I'm also sort of "eh" about warlocks, despite trying to level one currently on the Horde side (she's at 31). I've tried and tried to level hunters, but the farthest I got was level 35 - just can't get over my dislike for having to "send" my pet to attack. Maybe I need macros or something ... not sure what it is. I love using bows and crossbows, though, and I like being a ranged dps ... maybe I should give it another go? <br /><br />But I said it was a tie - my other least favorite is, hands down, a death knight. I'm not sure what it is, really - maybe the fact that there are still so damn many of them around? I've started probably five different death knights, different races and factions, I've played them all through the not-so-bad starting quests, but after that .. the farthest I've gotten is 63. I just can't get the hang of it, I suppose - it just feels to me like I'm mashing buttons. Faceroll ftw! Don't get me wrong - I know some very, very competent and truly great death knights that I raid with now, some of them absolutely fantastic at tanking and others at the top of every dps chart ... just that I can't get into playing one. :-P<br /><br />But you didn't really specify "favorite and least favorite to play" versus just "favorite and least favorite, period." Just a side note - my favorite class is the druid, hands down - such a great class, I wish mine was over level 60. I could be happy in a guild full of druids, seriously. And least favorite class overall? The rogues. Nothing they bring that someone else can't bring - others can even pick locks, based on their professions. I even out-dps most of them. :-( With a hybrid class (my shadow priest). <br /><br />But maybe I just don't like them because they always gank me in pvp. Stun me, and then kill me before I can even get out of the stun - they suck!"D"https://www.blogger.com/profile/10897146621781480253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-80147060912515693712009-06-04T07:41:28.665-07:002009-06-04T07:41:28.665-07:00My favorite has been the shaman.

Now at 80 I'm dual spec'd elemental and resto, with resto as my main spec, and I love healing as well. It's just an all around good fit for me.<br /><br />My other characters:<br /><br />Druid - lots of fun, and I enjoy the heck out of tanking, but not quite as fun as shaman.<br /><br />Rogue - my first "main". I liked the rogue, but I'm really terrible at it. I don't do stun locks because I like to play "fair". I also hate that I can't heal myself. Sitting at 71 for the forseeable future.<br /><br />Mage - is fun, but feels like a watered down shaman. Why use the rest, when you can use the best? However I've discovered interest in mage PvP, so will probably pick it back up. 48 at the moment.<br /><br />Paladin - Meh. It's easy and kinda fun, but there is no spark for me. He's sitting at 71 now and probably will be for a while.<br /><br />Hunter - Is too easy. I've face rolled my way to 33 and get no real fun from it. It's missing a challenge I guess.<br /><br />Warlock - I leveled affliction and became really, really, really bored with it. I don't really like the dot, dot, dot, wait for them to die method. After I switched to destro for Kara, I found it much more exciting. He's sitting at 78 now and will be my third 80.<br /><br />Priest - see above about dots. He's 30 something, but will move up eventually. (this is actually my third priest. Not one of my favorites at all.)<br /><br />Warrior - I found completely unexciting. I've rolled two and have deleted them both. I'm a sucker for dual wielding though. I may try again in the future.<br /><br />Death Knight - I've resisted the temptation, as of yet. I'm sure I'll try one eventually.Copernicusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-81680434445061641182009-06-04T07:20:24.398-07:002009-06-04T07:20:24.398-07:00My Paladin was my first and my favorite.

In fact, she kind of sucked and got killed very easily early on. <br /><br />My least favorite are druids (ducks head). Maybe it's just the quest areas, but somehow I don't think so. People think it's cool to turn into a bear or cat and fight, but I always thought, why not just make me a cat from the beginning? Or a bear? I guess shapeshifting isn't my thing.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338876497982816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-24570940265149390022009-06-04T07:10:54.492-07:002009-06-04T07:10:54.492-07:00I discovered shortly after TBC release that the Wa...I discovered shortly after TBC release that the Warlock I had been playing for 2 years was lacking in some areas.<br /><br />I discovered this because my Paladin turned out to be all kinds of awesome. I've always been somewhat defense-oriented (my Warlock Soul Link spec'd and packing 7k life pre-TBC, as much as many tanks), so the Paladin really played into that. Having the ability to heal, free, protect, and tank for a group was so much better than just dealing damage to the enemy.<br /><br />Amusingly enough, my first character ever was a Druid. Got him to 16 before I created the Warlock. Over the course of Vanilla and TBC I leveled 3 or 4 other Druids, never getting past level 25.<br /><br />Now I have my Paladin at 80 and raiding Ulduar 25. I have my Warlock at 80 and basically gathering dust except for enchanting needs. AND I have an 80 Druid healing and DPSing in heroics.<br /><br />I should never have given up on all those druids in the past. SUCH a great class. :)Dorgolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12936803721440329897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-49983253229165003472009-06-04T04:42:23.883-07:002009-06-04T04:42:23.883-07:00I have a Warrior, but he is a long way from level ...I have a Warrior, but he is a long way from level cap. <br />The problem I have with him is that I always compare him to my Paladin, and he comes up short, especially the inability to heal himself if a pull goes wrong.<br /><br />I would like to level a Shaman to see how it plays, and it does seem to be very versatile these days.<br /><br />My favourite class will continue to be the Warlock, despite Blizzard's determination to turn all ranged dps classes into clones.<br /><br />My least favourite class continues to be the Hunter; I like the concept, but not the execution.*vlad*noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-5875020640889244642009-06-04T00:56:55.682-07:002009-06-04T00:56:55.682-07:00I was so proud of getting my shield from Patchwerk...I was so proud of getting my shield from Patchwerk the first time we killed him.

So it's bubble, SWP, wand to death, renew SWP as needed. Until you're high enough to get mindflay, and later shadowform.Pangoria Fallstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148359926488188195noreply@blogger.com
