Shamans are for...

PoppaSmurph — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 11:28:53 -0500

Arguably one of the easiest classes to gear out for Raiding due to the +hit totems and talents, Shamans have also been known for melee dps and healing, but what are they really for? Is it PvP? Maybe! Is it Arena? Who knows, so far in the series people have voted and we are left with the following results.

Hunters:

Causing a high amount of damage in groups/raids: 26%
Grinding to 70 as fast as possible and then not being able to get a group: 22%
Killing your group in instances by pulling aggro and then Feigning Death: 22%

Mages:

What's the easiest class to play?

Due to the lack of any in-game permanent progression, lots of players who reach level 70 find themselves making alternative characters to play because there's nothing to do on their main except PvP or Raid. If there were some form of permanent progression in game, like having an alternate experience system where you can continue to receive experience at max level and apply it toward improving your character, players may find themselves only having time to play 1, maybe 2, classes.

Commonly referred to as "Huntards" the class Hunter is commonly used for PvP and Crowd Control in instances, but what are they really for?

So far we've done 4 classes and the results and the primary results seem to be as expected, but some of the 2nd results are quite humorous.

Here are the results so far:

Rogues:
Causing a High Amount of DPS: 38%
Killing noobs or griefing other players: 21%
Crowd control with Sap and other things: 12%

Priests:
Healing other players in raid or group: 51%
Doing DPS in Shadowform: 18%
Mindcontrolling people and throwing them off a cliff: 12%

I've heard a lot of people say things like 'I'm powerleveling my friend” or “I'm going to powerlevel my character,” but what do they mean? This website even has several power leveling guides. To give a better idea of what people might be talking about, I've organized different types of power leveling into several categories:

My Zhevra Mount, 1-20 in 4 hours

The new Recruit-A-Friend program seems to be working great. I recruited 'a friend' and decided to test it out. This program rewards both the new recruit and recruiter 3x faster experience when partied together, the recruiter gets an epic Zhevra Mount (as seen in the photo) and the two players gain the ability to summon each other without any assistance for the first 90-days.

Warriors are for...

If you have played a warrior past level 15 you probably already know they have been typecasted as tanks, even though they are poor tanks in the majority of 5-man instances. You've certainly received tells asking you if you'd 'tank arc' or 'come tank SV.' No, these folks aren't conducting surveys, they are assuming that you are capable of tanking and they want you to join them.
