Most fun weapon class

Unread post by Cedric »

So what weapon class do you guys think is the most fun? Warrior, Rogue, Paladin, death Knight? I would love to make a Fighting class, I just don't know which one is more fun without being allot of work

Completely personal preference here, but I had the most fun with a prot Paladin. I never thought I'd warm up to melee classes, but one day I made a prot pally and within a couple weeks she was close to max level. I really enjoyed tanking on her, but even just questing was fun!

Rogues have actually been pretty enjoyable as well, though I've never been far past level 30, so I can't speak for the higher levels.

I managed to get a Warrior to 60 but I got bored of her, and I've never had any luck with DKs myself.

I like my warrior tank. He's still in OL atm but I really like the fact I can aggro a whole bunch of dudes and never need to eat food after the fight! :lol:

Prot Paladins are super fun- and if you want a slightly easier tank class, that's where to go. I love my prot pally! Pretty easy to play but not boring, lots of shiny buttons to click. I'm the kind of player that gets excited by shiny buttons and procs.

Rogues are also a fun class, but I'd actually warn against going Combat like everyone says to. I found combat to be extremely boring. >.< Sub and Assassination are a little more interesting. I'd say go Rogue if you're okay with being a glass cannon- you'll kill stuff fast, but man, even a few seconds of being beat on will really kill your health.

Warriors... I can't really say. Tanking on a warrior is engaging, exciting, and hard- they're the toughest tank class and take the most thought to play. I can't say much for Fury/Arms, though, as I haven't touched them much. I remember Fury being boring, but that was a long time ago. I have heard good things about Arms, though. My warrior has been stuck at 60-some for a while, because while I enjoy playing him (he's a tank), I enjoy my prot pally more.

I'm... really trying with DKs. I have trouble finding them very fun myself- though I haven't touched tanking much. Frost pulls really big numbers, but oddly enough, the attack sound effects drive me nuts. Your biggest attack that does huge damage should not make a gentle "woosh" sound as it cuts the enemy in half. ;_;

Personally I am a fan of DK's, Blood and Frost. Being able to tank and self heal, is really fun. I find managing my diseases to be far more engaging and fun then tanking on a pally, which I find kind of basic. Frost has so many wonderful shiny buttons popping up all the time, and a nice rotation.

The other melee class I enjoy is rogue. I find their high speed and flurry of attacks to be a nice change from the normally slower attacks of tanking or 2h frost. I like combat for the nice damage, but I think Assassin or sub can be more engaging.

I, personally, have yet to get attached to a DK. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my Panda Rogue, and I started a Worgen Warrior recently and she has been quite fun to play imo. I rush in and kill stuff pretty easily with both my Rogue and Warrior, and I find tanking as a Warrior to be quite enjoyable. I've never tried a pally myself, so I can't say anything about them. I would also suggest a Druid. It's not a weapon class, but it's combat if you go Kitty/Bear. I LOVE being Kitty/Bear, and it's like being Rogue AND a Warrior in a way.

You'll have something to look forward to. :D
I'm currently level 89 on my warrior tank, and I can solo the Pandaria rares with no problems. Kept dying on my death knight when I levelled him, but haven't died once on my warrior.
But I enjoy all classes really, so it's a hard choice. But the one I have played the most must be my enhancement shaman, but I guess that doesn't go into this category. :)

I'll be waiting on the highland, with its wonderful serenity.
Where the stars glow and the brooks flow, that's my way of life.
When the mountains on the highland, and the nature is surrounding me, when the wind blows, that's all I need.

I have an absolute blast playing my warrior. I leveled her as Prot tanking dungeons mostly, and loved it! On the random occasion that I went Arms, it was also a lot of fun! They just tear right through things! I've also had trouble getting into DK's. I make one every so often and just end up deleting it fairly quickly. I play an assassination rogue as well and that's also quite a bit of fun. I haven't touched my pally in a while but both prot and ret were good to play. I'd advocate most highly for warrior though :)

I have a ret pally, fury warrior and a frost DK - Ret was fun and my fury warrior (who was a tank since vanilla) were the most enjoyable to lvl. My DK is ok but I hate my rogue with a passion - just can't get into her. She's 85 at the moment and will be my last 85 to lvl.

Also consider a windwalker monk. I had so much fun with her :)

So I have decided now between a duel wielding ice Dark knight, and a dual wielding or sword and board warrior. Listening to the explanation for paladins seemed too hard

I've played Prot Warrior, Prot/Ret Paladin, Rogue, and Blood/Unholy DK.

Didn't feel as tanky on my Warrior because she's an Undead lady wearing goggles. But being able to flip around in plate as a bony corpse is always fun. Then again, I don't really play Warrior anymore... Maybe I should change that now that WoD will be eliminating the need for multiple armor sets. I could finally try Warrior DPS.

Prot Paladin has like a bajillion shielding effects that it can put on itself. And Ret hurts a lot... at least in single-player PvE. However, I feel like the armor was my main draw to Paladin, with Merciless Gladiator and Tier 7 and the like.

Rogues are pretty awesome. No one skips trash in old raids like Rogues. No one else attacks insanely fast like Rogues under the effect of Slice and Dice. And, of course, nobody in the world stunlocks like them (although in solo PvE, Cheap Shot will likely be enough to keep you from taking too much damage.)

Blood is a wonderful solo spec. Dying doesn't happen very often when you're constantly draining HP and proccing Blood Shield. Unholy's pretty cool too. Ever want to have a pet hulking undead monstrosity? Go Unholy and you can have one. But I kinda retired my DK too.
