How to Choose a Suitable Class in World of Warcraft

By Leo Jiang2017-04-19

Experienced and senior players can debate all day about which classes are the easiest to play, hardest to play, strongest, weakest, over-powered, and under-powered in World of Warcraft. As a new player, you should make a choice based on personal preference. Let’s go with MmoGah and see how we can choose a suitable class.

When you contemplate classes, you should consider role that appeals to you and keep following things in mind:

For a safe distance Hunters, Mages, Priests, and Warlocks are the best for fighting. You must learn how to control range of fight, because it is not built for melee combat. Keep enemies away from you, and you’ll be successful.

 

Monks, Paladins, Rogues, and Warriors fight up close and fight with their enemies personally. Melee combat is louder (with combat noises like clanging weapons) and generally it is more chaotic than what classes experience you range.

 

Druids and Shaman can fight at long range or in melee combat, and it’s up to you to decide which way you prefer.

 

Choose Your Faction

Alliance - Races of Alliance include many "Noble" minded creatures, and abilities of Alliance Races, they are often well-suited for PvE (Player versus Environment) setting.

 

Horde - It consists of monsters and violent characters mostly, which excludes Pandaren and Tauren. Races of Horde include more "Gritty" races, and their Racial Abilities are often more useful in PvP (Player versus Player) setting.

 

Usually you had better to decide first on a faction, then on a class, and last on a race, but it's not necessary. Be aware that not all classes are available for each race. An example of this is Druid class. Only Night Elves and Worgen (Alliance faction) and Tauren and Troll (Horde faction) are able to be Druid class. If you have already decided to play for Horde as a Druid, you have no other options but to play a Tauren. Draenei. Dwarf and Pandaren are only Alliance race that can play as Shamans. Blood Elves and Taurens are only Horde race that can play as Paladins. If you are to play a Paladin, a Tauren is recommended. If you decide on a race before you decide on a class, understand that your options may be limited.

 

A Quick Look at Classes

Mage, Priest, Rogue, and Warrior are considered four archetypal classes because they are classic role-playing and fantasy heroes from myths and literature of World of Warcraft. Warriors and Rogues are primarily melee combat classes, while Mages (it is one of the easiest classes to farm wow gold from my experience, but the best and fastest way is to buy wow gold.) and Priests prefer to stay at a safe distance in a combat.

 

Druid, Monk, Paladin, and Shaman are “hybrid” classes because they are versatile characters, you can use comfortable fighting up close or magic spells to harm enemies or heal allies.

 

Hunter and Warlock are “pet” classes because both of them rely on a companion pet for a great deal of assistance. Hunters tame wild beasts, while Warlocks summon demonic creatures.

 

Choose Your Class

Tanks - Protection Warriors, Brewmaster Monks, Vengeance Demon-hunters, Protection Paladins, Feral (Bear) Druids, Blood Death Knights.

 

Tanks are players with a lot of armors and hit points take all damage on them when fight several mobs at once or a very powerful mob (bosses or elites). Choose:

Protection Warrior

Blood Death Knight

Protection Paladin

Guardian Druid.

 

Healers-Holy/Discipline Priests, Restoration Druids, Restoration Shamans, Holy Paladins, Mistweaver Monks.

Healers are those who heal other players (especially tanks) in dungeons and battlegrounds. They're the players you really need to count on during battle. Choose:

Discipline/Holy Priest

Restoration Druid

Holy Paladin

Restoration Shaman

 

Melee DPS - Armsman/Fury Warriors, Retribution Paladins, Mistweaver Moks, Feral (Cat) Druids, Enhancement Shamans, Assassination/Combat/Subtlety Rogues, Windwalker Monks, Havoc Demon-hunters, Unholy/Frost Death Knights.

 

Ranged DPS - Balance Druids, Elemental Shamans, Shadow Priests, Arcane/Fire/Frost Mages, Affliction/Destruction/Demonology Warlocks, and Marksman/Survival/Beast Mastery Hunters.

 

DPS (damage per second): DPSes are players that wield a lot of damage and do main killing in dungeons or battlegrounds. You can choose:

Arms/Fury Warrior

Feral/Balance Druid

Beast Mastery/Marksmanship/Survival Hunter

Arcane/Fire/Frost Mage

Affliction/Demonology/Destruction Warlock

Frost/Unholy Death Knight

Retribution Paladin

Shadow Priest

Assassination/Combat/Subtelty Rogue

Elemental/Enhancement Shaman

 

Jack of all trades: These are versatile classes that can play all 3 roles.

Druid (switch between animal forms and talent trees)

Paladin (switch between talent trees)

 

Pet Classes: These players not only have many versatile abilities for controlling and damaging enemy, but also have a summonable ally for using in off-tanking and aggro mitigation as well as additional DPS. While individual characters may not be made by themselves, their pets and minions often wield considerable damage and may have more armors than themselves. Learning how to control a Pet and not let it cause problems in groups may be a fun and exciting challenge, but when soloing these classes are never truly solo. Choose:

Hunter

Warlock

Unholy Death Knight.
