Which class are you going to play in Classic and why?

As the title says, which class are you choosing and why?

[roo 2]

I solo'ed In vanilla, and my first class was a locky. I got her to lvl 50, then saw a hunter in action one day. So, I stopped playing her and made my first hunter, beast master. What a blast, more fun that a locky and I had a time learning everything, what food to feed my pet, how to level up her different abilities, etc.  Made 60, decided to make a Druid. No fun. having to have 3 sets of armour depending on bear or cat or healing - no fun, none at all. Deleted my lvl 20 druid. Made another hunter and tried to be marksman and survival, again, no fun, so back to BM.  The out came the 2nd XPac for WOW. Got to the next max level and decided, lets make a rogue. From then on, For every one hunter I made, I made 1 rogue. One is flea-bitten, the other bites fleas. Now, I have the max toons one can have across multitudes of servers. 2 mages, 2 priests, 2 warriors, 1 druid, the rest hunters or rogues. I don't play the mages, the priests or warriors. Not sure why, they just aren't fun to me.  So to answer your question, it will be a hunter and if more than one can be played, a rogue.   Looking forward to Classic WOW and I will say good-bye to regular out of control WOW.  ps - need to point out, I started playing WOW the 2nd day it went live.

Rogue was my original class in Vanilla. I'll probably go rogue first again in Classic for the nostalgia, and so I can be a major annoyance in pvp. But priest is also a possibility.

If i have even time to play it, will be a druid. I dont have one on retail and i simply don't want do mix up my retail-playstile with classic-playstile 😄

Warlock.  Was my first class on release, rerolled one in TBC to play with friends horde side, and played all through Wrath.  All of my best memories of the game were on a warlock.

Warlock for sure!  They're one of the more versatile classes, multiple specs that work for PvE and PvP.  Great soloer.  Can take on multiple mobs and players.  They get useful pets for different situations.  I can't wait to play this lock 😄

Am doing warlock as well, purely because i never experienced the Mount quests and all the demon quests :). i understand i won't be able to get the Epic warlock mount till Phase 2 i think but i am ok with that

I'm going with a Warrior since they scale very well with the proper set of gear which plays well for raiding. They are strong in both PVP and PVE.  Always wanted to try my hand at tanking in Classic so I might follow the Protection tree but haven't settled on this for sure yet. It's expensive to change trees. Arms tree appears to be better for leveling, however.   It will be interesting in Classic since we're back to allocating points in sequentially leveling talents.  I believe we also have to level weapon skills on a per weapon basis.  Classic should be fun regardless of what class you choose.  Can't wait to return to yesteryear!!

I had not played Classic, had neither PC nor Internet back then, but always imagined myself (well not literally always) as a troll shaman, so that's who I gonna be! I've lurked through some guides, shaman seems to have high group utility, good soloing ability and a lot of spec choices, so it's going to be great.

Going warrior too. Pro tip, never try to level as prot. You can tank as Arms and Fury quite well up to max level. All you need is a shield and sunder armor. Keeping threat > Mitigation in classic. Most people go 2h weapon fury till 40 and then swap arms, but you can go straight into arms if you want without much change to pace. Warrior is amazing and I fully recommend it to anyone who wants a challenge. If you want something that levels a little easier but still has the option to tank, Druid is solid. Contrary to popular belief, Druid tanks can do all content endgame as a tank. It is a loooooot of work compared to a warrior, but it is still fun.

Going to heal.. but I will raid more casually than hardcore. I seriously go from a priest to a pally and back to priest by the hour.. ugh.

Thanks, Avin,  for the advice.  Appreciate it.  I've been playing an Arms Warrior in BfA just to get used to handling a Tauren Warrior PVP..  Think I'll go arms, based on your advice.  Next toon I'll try might be a Drid, never played one.  So much fun.  I might start as either an Orc or a Tauren Warrior in Classic.  Can't wait for launch.  Again thanks for your advice!! .

Warrior. I've been playing WoW since launch and every expansion I plan on maining a Warrior but I quit part way through. This time though I'm gonna finish it....hopefully...yep.

Mage for the crazy talent tree and pvp!!

[FreddyJ 6]

I'm playing a mage, spriest, and lock.

I prefer ranged classes because I cannot handle melee due to medical issues (Although now and then, the melee bug bites me and I'll try a pally for a while, but eventually he'll be deleted lol).

@ Blizzard: Thank you for providing us with classic, I love playing it.
