well, I\'m to the point where I have the moondust and have to sprinkle it on some rock.  problem is, I cant get to the area without being killed by bearpeople.. They have a lvl of ??? and basically tear me a new A-hole everytime I try to pass through.  I can only imagine what the fight is going to be like.  Do I need people to come with me?

Have no idea about druid quests.  The most rewarding class to play?  Depends... here are my impressions:

Paladin:  A watered down priest who wears plate.  Can\'t do much damage and takes forever to kill something.  From everyone who has played one I have heard very very boring.  Also they have no range attack at all.

Priest:  Good caster class.  Shadow line deals the damage and you can heal yourself.  Cool little invunerable shield as well.  Just like the mage they are mana dependant and when they run out of mana they are finished.

Rogue:  Very quick leveling.  Can chain kill with practically no down time.  Tons of escape methods at higher levels.  Has nice stuns as well.  Downside is they are lightly armored and a good warrior will beat a good rogue almost everytime.  Actually most classes can beat a rogue if the rogue does not get a jump on them.  Their preferred targets are cloth wearers.

Warrior:  Ok DPS (Damage Per Second), but it really depends on how you set up your talent tree.  Only one "oh shit" card on a 5 minute cooldown - intimidating shout (fear).  No viable range damage and usually get eaten by mages.  Personally, as a mortal strike warrior, mages are really the only class that gives me trouble.  Lower level warriors tend to be pretty bad in DPS and the class doesn\'t really shine until 60.  I know Ryu may disagree with me, but I think Protection spec\'d warriors are particularly boring and limited.  At mid levels this class can be discouraging to play especially if soloing.

Druid:  Jack of all trades, master of none.  Bonuses - they can heal and have multiple shapeshifting abilities.  Downside - in bear form they can\'t out tank or out dps a warrior and have only 1 viable instant cast spell when not in animal form - moonfire.  On the upside they are very good against mages since they can\'t be rooted or polymorphed due to shapeshifting.  Can also root and traveling is easy when in the right form.  Definitely not the worst class from what I have seen.

Hunter:  Has the longest range in the game and a pet to boot.  In PvP I have seen hunters just sit back and send their pet in while they don\'t take any damage at all.  They also get some nice aspects to make getting places faster before they get their mount.  They can melee up close, but range is their ideal situation.  Hunters can also solo with ease.

Mages:  Supposedly has the highest DPS in the game.  Also has the second longest range.  A fire mage spec\'d right can do massive damage in a matter of seconds and take my warrior who has 5k in hp down to half.  Can polymorph for crowd control, can frost nova for root, can slow with the frost line, has good instant spells and a good instant area effect spell.  Traveling isn\'t as good as a druid or a shaman, but a mage can teleport to one of their factions cities and can use a portal at level 40 to take other people along.  Also has blink which teleports the mage 20 yards to get out of trouble and they can also summon their own food and drink to replace health and mana.  The downside is they are cloth wearers and very mana dependant - once out of mana they are done.

Warlock:  My wife has one of these and with the diminishing returns from fear, I think this class is really nerfed.  Though they do well against mages, they have trouble against most other classes in PvP.  They do get some "pets" and this does help them solo quite well.  On the downside their spells are loaded with backend damage - meaning it takes a while to kill something.  Also they have no escape spells other than fear and if they have their voidwalker up they can sacrifice it for a shield.  They also rely on soulstones to summon pets (except their imp) and create healthstones and stones that resurrect themselves - while this sounds good, those soulstones do not stack in your inventory and it is quite possible to have almost one backpack devoted entirely to them.  When these guys run out of mana they could still fall back on their pet if it is still alive.

Shaman:  The Alliance really whine about this class.  They heal, wear mail and can dish out damage.  They also get a nice wolf form to travel as well.  My wife started one of these on the PvP server we are on and so far she seems to be enjoying it so it must be easy.

Anyone else can feel free to add to what I said, but those are either my experiences or impressions from all the classes.  I am bored at work so sorry if this seemed like a long description.

Oh and one last thing - welcome to Tuesdays.  Scheduled maintenance is every Tuesday from 6 AM EST to around 2PM EST.  Especially sucks if you are playing from Oz.  :)

I played a paladin to 40. I like them, you just have to know what to expect.


The thing with paladins is they dont do any damage and are pretty weak with thier healing.... BUT they are super hard to kill.


Right now I have a shadow priest at level 35 and I love it.

You forgot that the Druid is one of the single hardest classes to kill, if the character is specced about.

Shaman\'s bite ass. They need nerf\'d in the worst way.

Either way, I imagine I\'ll let my account expire . I canceled it once, came back, played for awhile and now I am back to not playing. I just can\'t justify the price for a game that I only have fun playing 30% of the time.

I like my druid.  Especially once you get to Dire Bear.  My armor is over 4000.

I can take a beating better than Tina Turner.

I\'d have to say it\'s a tough Solo class though.  I could rip right through people with my warrior.
I wear a necklace now because I like to know when I\'m upside down.

Druids are cake against a mortal strike spec\'d warrior.  MS cuts off their healing and even if they turn into bear form they don\'t do jack for DPS.  The best a druid can hope for is to try and run against a warrior because moonfire spamming won\'t cut it.  I think Paladins are the single hardest class to kill due to their shields, armor and healing.  Yeah they don\'t do any DPS, but get a paladin down to 25 percent health and even if you have hit them with dot\'s and MS their 2 shields cleanse them and they heal right up.

Also Shaman\'s haven\'t been nerfed as much you think.  Just check out the WoW General forums and you will see posts about how overpowered shamans are.  Shaman have a good chance to beat every class 1v1 - you can\'t say that about any other class.

Since you are cancelling can I have your stuff?

each class and each talent build really make the PvP system a rock&paper game. I know my rogue is good in certain situation and in others i get owned pretty quick.

The druid is a great "group" class. it enhance a group capabilities by tons and can save the day with their multiple abilities.. be it PvP or PvE.

My best character so far is my 60 priest on a PvE server. nice flow of action, never boring and always grouped.
can\'t see why not!

Wow, I got skinning up to 165 at level 16 and my leatherworking is at 116 right now.  Made my first deviate scale belt a few days ago - very nice blue item and you can get the pattern and scales you need by doing Wailing Caverns.  

I thought Alchemy was easy until I started this profession with my rogue.  I also thought my mage killed things quickly, but geez my rogue really kills fast - usually 3 hits and the mob is dead.
