Rare Classes on Fresh Wotlk?

I like the idea of playing a rare class.

What classes do you think will be the least popular on the fresh wotlk-server?

I assume people prefer a class that is a) strong overall in wotlk b) fast while leveling c) fun to play in pve+pvp
Sadly i don`t know the classes well enough to draw a conclusion -.-

I appreciate every opinion :slightly_smiling_face:

Based solely on my guild; so like 30 players, mage, priest and druid seem to be the least popular classes.

Small sample size though.

There will be 3 very popular classes atleast in the begining: mage, pally, dk. Warriors will be the 4th

The rest will be very balanced with maybe druid or priest last but not in any way by a significative margin compared to others.

Rare speca in PvE but you may struggle find a pug, recommend getting a guild that accepts you and is not HC or semi HC: frost mage, BM hunter, ele shammy, feral druid (if you are an average player) .

Druid is almost always, least played.

I saw somewhere on the forums, speculations that shamans would be least picked. Which i found funny, since they are s+ in arena (mediocre in pve, maybe thats why)

Enh shammy will be popular but it needs a better than average player to perform decently

Any healer, can’t go wrong with a tank for levelling either.

Sure, but ele is strong throughout the expansion. Enhance is good early on and then just fades off as it doesnt scale as well.

Disagree with any healer, if there is one healer that will be on low numbers it will be holy priest but again you need 0 of them to make the best possible group. It’s 2 holy pala, 1 disc, 1 resto druid (to buff enegery Regen of dps) and 1 resto shaman since ele kinda sucks and enh require a special player. But in case you can get other great shaman you can replace it with holy priest

Plan on playing lock pally and dk tho im sure theyll all be popular :joy:

Good locks are always welcome

There’s generally always a low supply of healers on fresh in my experience maybe we have different experiences though :person_shrugging:

And tanks no?

Hmm I would even say healers are more rare, yeah. Especially in Wrath, with DK’s. They can’t heal right? But they sure can tank.

Probably druid.

If you want something rare you gotta pick some suboptimal race+class combo, like UD warrior or Gnome rogue.

Boomkins are so good now, so is feral, that I think druid will be top 3 most played classes

I’m sure I’ll give most of the classes/spec a go at one point.

But Shadow Priest seems pretty fun! (PVE…)

Enha is one of the most fun specs to play as it has no real rotation

I bet shaman healer.
