I always found Paladins extremely boring to level. Luckily we are all different and therefore it is not easy to point at a single favourite class to level. Personally I would suggest a holy/disc priest: Easy levelling and easy finding groups.
So all in all: pick the class you enjoy the most, and not what others enjoy the most
Thatās fair, and a point I agree with. I find both Hunters and Paladins extremely boring to level, because itās heavily tied to āāauto attacksāā, which can get boring over time if you are the type of person who enjoy having several buttons to press at all times.
However, for casual players, I would say Paladin and Hunter are pretty decent. They are good at soloing and they doesnāt require āāon demandāā at all times, you can easily have a TV show or something in the background and watch it while leveling, because they are simple classes to play.
Paladin is a very simple class, a sort of āāfire and forgetāā type of playstyle, you have seals which does example +damage for you automatically, comparred to a Warrior where you have to press a button for the same result.
Agreed. I didnāt frame my question perfectly but I meant it as era specific. What is needed, what is fun or suitable.
As it happens, due to earlier server experiences, I skipped warlock throughout classic. So itās something worth trying out.
Iām considering era as an option to go back to those designs a bit. In WLK things die a bit too quickly and while Iāll keep focusing on it, hoping to add bits of extra fun to my character rotation.
Inicial skill of hunter is low due pet scaling damage till like lvl 30 what it makes extremly boring for veteran player. However later levels hunter himself raise that skill requirement by precise trapping, slowdowns and doing multi-pulls and kitting/ccing multiple mobs. If you play BM hunter all the way to 60 that what you say is valid thoš.
Paladins has similar trouble as protection warriors when leveling solo-way long time downing mobs(unless being ret) yet constant eating/drinking required. Tho everyone loves healing pala or tank in classic dungeons.
If you think of going solo, I would recconmend a Paladin, slow, but virtually unkillable. I play meme-specced Tankadin for Questing Itās slow, as I already said, but fun, and uou can ecuip all the gear you ever get
Combined with Fishing/cooking and Herbing/alchemy itās better.
For the server merge, I have a suggestion: The TAB & Merge solution, less invasive, easier to understand, giving no naming chaos, or disappeariong characters, and leaves us free to have more than 10 character on any given realm type.
Now in the Realm selection screen we have these tabs below: Seasonal, Russian, Classic Era.
I suggest these tabs:
Seasonal,
Russian,
Classic Era PvP,
Classic Era PvE,
Classic Era RP.
In this way all PvP can co-exist and still be merged into one, same for PvE and RP, but we avoid the naming, moving, level-losing etc hyper-mess of the consolidation.
ZT, HW and Celebras should should not be merged, but be placed in the RP tab.
