When you’re new to the game, there is a lot of learning to do. And you’ll often wonder to yourself if you’re “doing it right”. One of the first main hurdles is choosing a class, so I’d like to give you some really good advice on what class you SHOULD roll.
A lot of time you’ll see people saying, “Just pick a class you like.” But obviously if you knew about the classes you wouldn’t be asking the question! So here’s an insider look at what someone who has been playing for a few years would recommend to a new player.
You want to choose a class that later in game you’ll have fun with, and if not you can change EVERYTHING about it. With the recent addition of dual speccing at level 40, you can even have 2 characters in one if you choose the right one from the beginning.
First let me explain that in World of Warcraft there are certain rolls that you will be asked to play while in groups for dungeons, raids, and even in pvp. The three roles are dps, healer, and tank.
The tank’s job is to hold aggro from a group of mobs, while the dps kills them, and the healer heals the group as necessary.
Some classes can be 2 or even 3 classes, and it’s these classes that will offer you a more diverse game play, and definitely add more to the game than a class who can only do one.
There are also over powered classes, so let’s start with them. Right now Paladins, Druids, and Shamans are all OP. Paladins, and Druids always have been, and Shamans have been since a recent patch.
Both Paladins and Druids make excellent tanks, dps, and healers. I would consider either one of them to be the most well rounded fun classes to play.
Shamans and Priests are good for healing and dps.
Warriors and Death Knights make great tanks, and dps.
So which class should you roll? I’d say any from this list would be an excellent choice. But be prepared to “do your job” when the time is right. If you have a healing class, heal. If you have a tanking class, tank. You’ll get into groups a lot easier, make more friends, and definitely enjoy the game a lot more.
Make sure once you choose your class to find out how to play that class. 10 minutes on google will teach you a tremendous amount of knowledge about how to make the most out of your class!
