help on picking a character
« on: December 28, 2006, 03:05:50 pm »
Well I've had a Warlock which is badass at PvP. And it really is because of fear.  ;) But now I'm rerolling with a few friends/family members and I can't decide on a race/class. Alliance is the faction. Thought of remaking a warlock but I don't feel like redoing all that stuff I've done already. Going for a caster, I hate melee. Have any ideas?

Priest?  A shadow priest is really fun to play, it also has "fear" ( Psychic Scream ), has DoT and can heal  :P

Yeah, that does sound pretty good. I've been playing on my somewhat twinked hunter. Pretty fun, but I'll probably be lvling it up soon. Getting tired of 10-19 brackets.

Being a Priest will ensure you a spot in just about any PUG (Pickup Group).

Haha, so true.  If you show up in shadowform, though, there are usually hissy fits. >:)

hah, I think I'm going to lvl up on my hunter. I'm tired of getting 1st in every WSG in the 10-19 bracket.

Are you on a twink-heavy server?  When I played my twink Warrior on Maelstrom, it was nearly always a Rogue or Warrior in 1st.  I was very often 1st on my 49 Rogue twink too.

Hunters are pretty fun, though.  I have a level 21 (which I don't ever seriously play) and I really enjoyed grinding.  However, let me tell you how awesome it is to be wanted in 70% of PUGs and even more structured raids when you get to 60... very.

I notice hunters topping damage charts all time.  When I was grinding AB in the 30-39 bracket I noticed that the majority of the time hunters and warlocks were topping the damage charts.

That's PvP, not PvE.  Of course ranged people will out-damage melee in PvP.  There's no aggro. :P

It's not impossible for a hunter to top the damage charts in a PvE raid (ie: BWL, Naxx), but it's definitely much more difficult if the other classes are trying.  It probably becomes impossible when the other members are trying really hard too.  I'm not bashing on hunter damage, but that's pretty much how it is.

I was more or less referring to that.

The default order key is killing blows, isn't it?  I was first on the list when that's what it was.  I still would be if I hadn't leveled. :'(
