Did I make a mistake choosing hunter?

Hey!

I don’t know why but I thought when you hit 60 you obviously would raid, do dungeons but for some reason I thought you’d be doing quests like in retail.

That quests would be a part of hitting 60 but it’s not as important as dungeons or raids.

Now I wonder if I even want to play hunter anymore.

Ï picked hunter cuz it’s fun leveling and it would be alot easier and more fun to quest and kill mobs at 60 when you have a pet. Pvp also seems fun with hunter but I will mostly play raids and dungeons.

And I thought that I would level a warrior after my hunter when I have excperienced the quest part of classic that I thought I would for some reason.

So I wonder if I should just go level a warrior right now and forget about my hunter.

I think I will enoy raiding and playing dungeons more with a warrior or a mage for example instead of a hunter. Or maybe I will like hunter I have no idea.

And also is hunters hard to gear?
Or will I get invites to dungeons to gear so I can raid later?
Or will I have a hard time finding people that want to play with me?
is it smarter then to go warrior?

I don’t know man. I didn’t play vanilla and I don’t have any experience in classic wow at all before the release. It’s nothing like retail so that won’t help me.

Is it easier to get groups with a warrior? is it super hard on a hunter?
Isn’t it hard to gear a warrior cuz there’s so many warriors out there?

I don’t know anything.

Please Help!!!

If you are alliance then hunter is the only mail wearer and the main ranged weapon user.

Other people have said that Warriors are very common and you will be fighting for gear, I don’t really see it that much myself. Then again I am doing guild runs.

There are probably as many mages as there are warriors, if not more.

Stick with your hunter for now.

Should we tell you exactly how you should play the game or would you prefer it if we would also play it for you? xD

I completely overlooked that. Out of sheer curiosity and it may be a daft question, but does the loot table change to account for that if you run content such as MC etc or does it just mean lots of drops go to DE?

Going back to the op. I rolled hunter as having played one for more years than I care to remember they were always my favourite class. With classic I went down the dragonscale leatherworking prof route as a means of ensuring I had some good bits of starter gear in place for the initial phase of end content. The nature res gear for AQ is quite a grind (both rep for the recipes and for the mats) but at least the option is there so some hunter gear is less dependent on instances. At least as an introduction to them. You’re paying for it so play what you enjoy playing, every class is viable no matter what the ‘meme’ readers tell you. I’m sure there were never this many mages rolled first time round and I’ve only fairly recently made one as I know there would be loads from the start as the internet told everyone they should do so and it would mean far greater competition for loot drops. The trick will always be to find a guild that doesn’t blindly follow the whole min/max nonsense.

Your group composition makes no difference to what drops.

I can’t believe it just never occured to me that so much would drop that no Alliance class could use. What a waste!

Good mail pieces are often used by warriors, but yeah, its still very easy to gear up as a hunter. And the caster mail armor is wasted on alliance, sure, but so is caster plate on horde.

Leveling and gearing a warrior is difficult. This is even more true when you dont want to touch tank role. That said a geared warrior is just like a god and delivers TONS of fun

Hunter is one of the best classes in the game, unless you play to top the damage meters in raids.

They are awesome at everything else though.

Warriors are super strong in raids, but suck at everything else.

That’s pretty much the long and short of it.

It’s hard for us to tell you what and how to play.

Apart from Warriors and Hybrids the other classes are easy to gear.
Now obviously here depends on your play style.

For example making a Shaman will be more appealing for those who want more stuff to do, so they farm gear for every spec. Leveling and getting geared is where you’ll spend most of the time playing WoW. That apart from ranking in PvP.

Now talking about warrior if you wanna play as a tank gear will be easy to obtain but as DPS you’ll find yourself in trouble. As Warriors in classic are designed to be tanks, that’s why every set gear is for tanking.
So as DPS to be proper geared you’ll need to spend a lot of gold as for Lionheart helm and a lot of time as for HoJ. And there will be fierce competition for gear in raids.
The best gear you’ll find from PvP but it’s way too exhausting to get.
So this might be a PRO or a CON depending non you. Getting your war dps geared will be more fulfilling than other classes but it takes more time.

Paladin gear doesn’t drop for Horde, neirther tier nor offset pieces, the dungeon set does, but it’s still usable by wars. This was fixed ages ago.
