What made you choose and stick by your class?

Zoom, zoom!

My first serious character was my paladin. I was a fan of paladins since warcraft 3 and being able to play one was so cool. He stayed my main from vanilla until the end of mists of pandaria.

In wrath I created my 2 most important alts, my death knight and my warlock. My death knight was created because of course it was a death knight, Arthas and new hero class and all of that. My warlock was created just because they got metamorphosis and it was just so cool.

So at the end of mists I started to hate what was happening with my paladin, it slowly being turned into a holy rogue of sorts so when Warlords of Draenor launched I jumped ship and swapped to my death knight, because it was also melee and I felt pretty much at home there. And when legion rolled over and they reworked demonology I swapped to my warlock and have been maining it ever since.

I decided to roll a priest recently because I got tired of always struggling to find tanks/healers for content.

Not a great fan of the rotation, but I’ve stuck with it because the class seems more fun than any of the other healers.

I’d roll a tank if the community didn’t hate tanks so much.

Because I enjoy having lots of buttons to press and pets to control at the same time

Well i ditched priest which i mained for years so i cant really comment.

But i tried out warlock to see the incubus model, and ending up loving it.
I play demonology so i dont ever get to use the incubus. But the rotation is very satisfying and you come with your own tank.

I like healing. Priest has 2 healing specs. If i ever get bored of one, I can always play the other spec.

No ok but seriously, we have:

  • Cute pets
  • Primal Rage
  • Using pets to tank in world content or if the tank went for a smoke
  • Bombs
  • Traps
  • One handed crossbows like Geraldino della Riova
  • Bursting Shot to throw enemies off cliffs in PvP or to help the tank manage pulls in PvE
  • Misdirect
  • Disengage to avoid fall damage, move faster, troll the group into thinking we fell off the map when in reality whooom there we are again
  • Magic Button of No More Damage
  • Magic Button of Run Really Really Fast
  • Magic Button of Going Out of Combat if Things Get Heated
  • Mount that comes if we scream
  • Quick interrupts
  • Tranq
  • Flare pisses off the rogues so it’s pure gold
  • Double Tap + Aimed Shot is the videogame equivalent of that thing that makes people really happy
  • (what do you mean I can’t type o**a*m come on, what are these kindergarten rules)
  • I have more but you already know how frickin’ cool hunters are
  • Pew pew

Chose pally cos of the lore and gameplay

It’s been my main for a very long time. Have most repurations, achivs, and mogs on it, and very rare items( some pre-cata).

I have soloed a lot of world bosses since WoD, and soloed a few 20+ mythics.

I do not play Ret or Holy, I dislike both specs, I only enjoy Prot spec, it is the only spec that keeps me entertained. very high APM, lots of utility, high damage and healing. Its 3 specs in one.

What my class lack, I make up for in professions/items, like mobility, portals, combat res etc, we are talking Engineering. Therefore, my Character in a way is complete in every way.

I also like the fact that half my abilities are ranged as tank, perhaps the only one with that. I like the fact that I have more than 3 immunities available, I can cheese so many things that all other classes won’t survive.

I have so much knowledge/Experience on abilities and cheeses, that I was reported for cheating by people who lacked depth of knowledge.

Right. Well I guess it’s time to full on main a hunter dayum.

Surrender to madness back in 7.0 and xal’atath as a weapon whispering to you made me fall in love with the class, it was just so good that i switched from being a mage main to a shadow priest one

The magic of it all faded over time but i still enjoy the class enough to still main it to this day

Loved shadow in legion and bfa been focused on pally hunter and dh in shadowlands tho

it’s what i’ve been playing for nearly 2 decades now sure our balance is a roller coaster of disappointment but the other classes don’t really appeal to me

as for why i choose paladin in the first place i’ve always played one in pen and paper though D&D is everything this class will never be :smiley: by jordan’s own admission base game paladin was a rushed mess and we got the nick name loladins because of it

Interesting mix of classes :+1: you know, paladins and druids don’t surprise me too much, their themes are very well-defined (probably better so in TBC), but with how consistent Mage has been I’m surprised I don’t see even one here.

I feel rogues and warriors used to be more distinct, they’ve had their stealth and charge aped I mean “borrowed” by basically everyone. The only problem I have is things that made a class feel unique have been blended into other classes somewhat. That’s probably partly why I like Shaman. Nobody else has (or wants) our totems!

In BFA, paladin was so boring it made me want to uninstall the game for 6 months. Then I came back and stuck with my warrior.

Then in Shadowlands, I rerolled paladin again and something clicked. A big reason why I like pala so much is the amazing damage, skills feeling impactful. But even when I was leveling my new paladin, it just felt more fun. The skill sounds were slightly improved and felt more beefy. Then at max level, I got final verdict and divine toll and that sealed it for me.

Paladin is simply a blasting class and I love blasting. Blowing things up. Skills sound awesome, it’s just spectacular. They simply got pala right in Shadowlands. So right, that it hasn’t really received any major modifications since the expansion launched.

I’ve mained a lot of classes,all fun on their own while I did.
From vanilla to WoD I primary played a Dwarf Priest. Me and my friends played Alliance back then and I was our groups healer.
In Legion I started out with a Paladin tank but also mained an Arcane mage. I kept the tank for when we played dungeons and played my Mage on solo, pug pve.
I kept my mage as main through all of BoA and a bit into Shadowlands but since I mostly play Pve and a lot of solo/quest, I found the mage to have to much downtime.

Now I play BM hunter and I LOVE it. I will probably stick with this for a long time. Great survivability in solo PVE, Decent dps output when I group with friends and close to Zero downtime. Also the BM is a blast in Torghast.

I liked the concept of the Death Knight. Not sure it’s for me. But can’t be bothered to level and alt. Well, i have started to level an alt, but i don’t play it that often. I remember i wanted to play one of the allienced races. But as I haven’t unlocked any of them, i have to play throught the game on one char, to unlock the race

I started back in old Classic as a druid, together with my back-then girlfriend also a druid. What got me to the druid was basicly the original classic intro :slight_smile:

During questing it then was my job to make damage and my GF was healing.
However since druids back then were considered healers and just healers and nothing else it became a problem that we were two healers.

We then found three more some friends and became a quite successful group of non-metas. The group had a Def-Warrior and Resto-Druid as meta-characters though, but the damage department were Feral-Druid (cat), Beastmaster and Shadowpriest.

And ever since then my main character was a damage dealing feral druid with secondary specialization to tank as bear (wasn’t called Guardian back then).

Through BC, LK was more or less the golden age of the Feraldruid (or rather of all druid-specs) and while Cata nerfed them quite a bit it was still a viable build.

I then took quite a long break of about 11 years and came back just before the opening of Zereth Mortis. And even though it became quite hard compared other damage dealers, I still have to find that group where I absolutely cannot keep up with.

Highfives with Lilliandra!

It never gets boring, honestly. Personally, going Holy on high keys, and Disc on low ones :slightly_smiling_face:
