Hi there,
I have a kind of dilemma about classes, I mean which one to play. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know, or if anyone else had already made a topic about it, feel free to link it!
What my noodle brain is looking for are:
be good for solo play (decent damage and survivability)
have some relation to lore
be able to hit raids and dungeons up to Legion and Torg
I’m mostly interested in lore, maybe slight LFR, 0 PVP. I tried DH, but it’s not the best after lvl 50 as I’ve seen it, I enjoy SV hunter, but I’m afraid it’ll be stomped in Torg.
Bm hunter I guess. Easy to maneuver, fast paced, got pet to tank, has a tool for most situations if not all, unique playstyle which is basically a melee at range.
That or paladin in my experience, but DH could also work.
For solo play, and soloing old dungeons and raids, anything with a tank spec is better than anything without a tank spec. BM Hunter, and Warlock, do have tanking pets, and can serve, but they’re not quite as good for this purpose.
Of the tanks, Warrior is the weakest for soloing in its basic design, because it doesn’t have reliable self-heals on single targets, so unless you feel attracted to it, I’d pass.
I always say that Druid is the ideal soloing spec on paper. You have Guardian as a true tank, Prowl on Feral for stealth, and the best ranged pulling power in the game as Balance, when you just want to stand in the middle and destroy all the weak mobs around you. But you have to enjoy being in the various animal forms. If you do, then Druid is your answer.
Paladin would be my preferred choice. You have lots of abilities and “Oh &^%” buttons like Insta-full-heal and Bubble, decent self-heals as Ret, and very solid self-heals as Prot. Prot usually has decent single-target dps for a tank as well. Also, great animations and choice of transmog!
People have already elaborated on paladin above, great mix of tankiness, dmg and visuals, a bit slow but overall a good experience.
But in druid you get the whole package, stealth, dmg, if you go cat or chicken, heals and health, four(!) specs to choose from for any type of content and is casual friendly, imo
Oh, good!
I mean probably I will do some dungeons from current content, but my focus is on lore and raids for mogs and more lore. If I won’t die in Legion raids on higher difficulty I’m happy
When you ding, get ilevel 200. You can buy a set of the crafted stuff, plus one ilevel 230 piece.
Get Mastery, which is everything for Prot and perfectly good for Ret, and Versatility on every piece. Pick up a 160-ish one hander and shield at the AH while you’re there. You will get better in Korthia and even from WQ eventually, but that will do for now.
Keep an eye on your WQ for the first week for upgrades to your other slots, and conduits.
You are now equipped for Legion raids up to … I would say Nighthold Mythic? 9.1.5 will see the tuning, so you should be clear for the whole lot thereafter.
So far I’ve been doing fine, I use Lighting Paw as my pet. It may die here and there at low ilvls, but it’s not too much of a stress to revive him (especially if you’re BM, by the time enemies reach you, your pet is up again).
I’d suggest you Warlock as well, all specs are pretty good, although compared to Hunters should you find yourself in trouble, you have less tools to escape hairy situations (except for your not-so-feign-death which does the job but on a long cooldown).
