My first character in Vanilla back in Nov. 2004 (US server) was a druid…
Don’t roll a druid. Seriously. They are a pain in the butt to level, kill very slowly past level 40ish no matter the spec. They are also quite gear dependant.
The only advantage they have is stealth, which allows you to bypass some mobs and get faster to quest objectives.
Druid become awesome in TBC though.
BEst hybrid dps class imo. = elemental Shaman
Best none hybrid = no idea they are all good in some way. Meele do alot of damage in raids but they are meele so ,in addition they dont provide much support , if any. So It makes sense they have good damage. Doesnt make them a good class pick tho. It still depends on what you want to do with your char.
Hunter is range and gets probably taxed by it with the other casters. But! They provide more support than the meele classes as well. Making up for the lack of dps and being ranged has its perks.
If you intend to raid, I’d recommend Hunter or Warlock, as there’s usually a shortage of those on level 60. On a casual level, they’re very capable in both PvE and PvP. Priest and Paladin are two great healer options.
WoW’s classes are rock, paper, scissors. There’s no “best” class that can do everything. The closest one may be Druid imo.
Leveling is the only thing druids shine in above all other melee classes. You have decent kill speed, are easy to gear (weapon doesnt matter cause stat stick), can tank, dps or heal even in feral spec and on top of that have zero downtime. eiher you lvled it early before the talent revamp or you lvl as resto or balance. Get your facts straight my friend.
Druid does everything yes but is bad at it all. By far the worst healer, so bad that the only reasons top guilds take them is fairy fire. Very bad tanks/melee dps/ caster dps (so bad that good guilds just dont take them). Bad at farming gold. Bad pvp healer, bad in group pvp engagements, only real use in organized pvp is running flags in warsong
The best dungeon tank?
Must have healer ? Combat res + mana regeneration?
Most fun class with loads of tools at every situation. World pvp superb.superb for duels.
For casual 1 week farm qconsumables,next week do kity dps or oftanking/healing.Raids are easy and no need to min max.
Its not as bad as you painting it.
best dungeon tank is a fury warrior.
Must have class because of Faerie Fire and MoTW, thus you bring only 1. Innervate and CR are not even considered.
Just because raids are easy doesn’t mean you want to use a scuffed raid comp and spent much longer time not only in the raids but farming more consumables to last said raids.
I stated facts. Its the worst melee dps, the worst tank and the worst healer. Those are undeniable facts. The crez is not needed, and you absolutly do not want a druid as healer in dungeon, no one cares about dungeon tanks, but imo dw fury is better cuz better dmg
at least they have a taunt…
I didnt even think of paladins
haha I don’t blame u
For a casual furry would be the best? He isn’t asmongold with his brown nosers around:)
Asmongold is garbage
every1 know that 
Definitely Mages, everyone else is BSing.
Mages are at least great if not the best at everything they do, most other classes only have niches.
Mages have the by far best AOE grinding and money making opportunities, the best utility spells, great DPS and great PVP. There isn’t anything in WOW where Mages aren’t considered a must have.
If you want to play the best class you play a Mage.
Hunters and locks make better gold than mages
Durid b/c when a thing hits durid, maybe thing gets borken hand LOL!
Mages are easy to get into, have an easy time gold farming, are needed for any raid, not very geqr dependend in pvp, super fast travel due to teleports. It is in my opinion the most time efficient class for any part of the game. Only downside os that 1/4 of every server is playing mages.
Not true, they are a slow till level 20 when you get cat form, and they pick up speed every level after that, until they are one of the fastest levellers due to very minimal downtime between fights, plus they move around the world faster than any other class, minimising downtime while levelling.
