I was wondering if a player wanted to unlock all transmogs from past Classic till Legion, which classes would you pick ?
In my case I quit this project many times, that’s why I am asking.
When I started a freshly UK account back in Legion pre-patch event, my goal was one character only.
I started with a BE Hunter. But after leveling her to level 100, I wanted to use the rest of the event, so I decided to make a Human Warrior.
She didn’t make it to level 100. I stopped at level 86, from there on it was journey through MoP and WoD having completed a Garrison level 3.
But something amazing happened when going back to my level 100, BE Hunter.
I had new transmogs unlocked !
All ranged weapons from WoD quests.
My Warrior had unlocked without me noticing many ranged weapons, because Warriors can equip them.
Unfortunately Draenor had too much chat spam and I went back to my old server, Kul-Tyras and made a:
Paladin
Hunter
Rogue
Priest
With this setup you can’t unlock glaives which was fine as they are DH class exclusive.
In this account I went with:
Paladin
Hunter
Monk
Mage
All recent characters.
My Hunter was boosted during Legion, my Mage was boosted in BFA.
I thought about a different setup including this character and two vanilla/TBC characters.
Warrior
Hunter
Rogue
Priest
Than I remember that some quests requires you to take the NPC HP to 20% so I tried a different setup on my three alts ranging from level 85 to 76.
DK
Shaman
Druid
Warlock (to be leveled from the start).
But in this setup none can equip ranged weapons. Which is terrible.
So far at max lvl I have shaman, priest, warlock, warrior and DH, working on the others, most of them are 110 but I’m a bit lazy lately as the leveling in BfA is fricking boring.
To just unlock all transmogs you need a class with the primary armor type.
Warrior: plate and can equip every weapon but wand.
Hunter: mail and excellent for soloing.
Druid: leather and tank specs and my favourite.
Warlock: Cloth and pet for solo. and can use wands.
I personally play; paladin, priest, druid and hunter though. They’re just the classes I like, but in your case here, I think warrior is far more versatile (for picking up weapon transmogs)
DH - Mandatory due to glaives
Hunter - Ranged weapons
Paladin / Warrior - Maces + shields
Any Cloth (probably mage due to portals, tbh)
That’s about it, if you truly want to unlock all the transmogs. That being said, I find Monk to be much better than DH due to them being able to equip many more weapons, as well as being able to loot heal weapons in the current content.
Also if we’re talking about literally every transmog, you’ll need to go with every class, due to class specific transmogs.
