Picking a level 80 class (Help!)

KiraushSmith

Legend
Well right now I have:

70 Shaman

72 Paladin

or I might be able to persuade a GM to undelete my:

80 Warlock

80 Death knight



Edit: After reading through a few more threads apparently it's a choice between my Death Knight and Paladin, if anyone could post something that will lean me in a direction between my four choices I'd really appreciate it



What should I try for?



Are either of these classes good at 80? or should I just start a new one?

I know Mages are OP fucks, and apparently Rogues and Ferals are good too, but if a Shaman or Paladin is pretty good I would rather roll a 70+ to 80 then a 1 to 80
 
i always thought a 80 lock would be fun
 
if you can get the DK undeleted id do that as my first choice, best dps class of the ones you listed above.....ret 2nd but only way a ret pally beats a frost dk is if the ret has wings and/or bubble up and/or the dk has downs

shaman are great at 80 if you like healing. ele is pretty good but i wouldnt call them op and i havent seen any good enh shaman

i have an 80 lock and....ugh. they have potential but they have so many damn counters. only choose that if youre an amazing lock or you like being punished

Damn, I was really hoping Paladins would be the top no contest >.<

I could get my Death Knight undeleted, I just got my Warlock undeleted today but I'm not going to twink my Warlock.

Any other opinions on Death knight vs Paladin?

I was thinking Paladin would be better because they have their bubbles and other stuffs
 
Helpa, if you was hoping Palas to be best! Play pala!

In the end it all comes down to what you like!

And palas are really good, if they are played well, and they top many classes! Also DK's!

Play what you like, fuck everyone else's opinion

Warlocks are amazing, counter mages, get countered by rogues and hunters. Affliction>Destro>Demo.

Affliction warlocks just destroy everything if you're good, so imo warlock.
 
I have both pala and DK, so her is to sum up my personal experience.



After getting alchemy trinket on the pala he went from "meh" to mister universe, the dmg is varying, u might global someone in first few seconds but be out of steam in the following engagement. Srsly if you planing to play alone with no healer friend, Pala is way better, also paladins have an overall buff incoming in 4.3.



DK on the other hand got a howling blast nerf coming in 4.3 and is not as good solo as a paladin, also way less versatile. You will get bored on DK because you can only fill one role, were paladin can do 3 speccs. On the upside it is only slightly less crappy then paladin in solo mode(but vs rogue or mage its almost hopeless). If you have healers on BG who are willing to heal-bot you, or even better u have a personal healer friend, DK ins an unstoppable body super-collider, that will suppress half of the enemy team. I had times when i would 2v5 with my healer coz stuff was dieing so fast.



So basically DK with steady high DMG but low versatility and survivability vs Ret pala with high survivability and versatility but somewhat unpredictable DMG.



Warlock is a NO

Shaman is a BIG yes for resto, OK for ele, NO for enhancement.
 
How can you say "Warlock is a NO"? Warlocks are very viable' just if they are played correctly.. And they are more than lacked!

We have a 80 lock in my guild, and he is good.

The guy is looking for a class to play that is good and to have some fun on BGs, and good means not only on paper but also the learning curve.



Don't get me warlock was and still is my main character (almost 6 years now), in all that time i never had an alt or second max level character that i leveled myself because i think warlock class is so vibrant and full of synergetic spells. But it has a steep learning curve, and lots of annoying "protocols" one has to follow in order to be good. For that reason i never made a warlock twink.



So IMHO what i am saying is that with a warlock u have to be ready to be bad for a good deal of time, before u can be good and have fun with it, the DK or Pala not so much.
 
Still to say that warlocks are a complete no, might be a little bit radical.

I have seen many times warlocks topping damage meters, and they are amazing when dealing with a team with many healers, because they just dot everything.. So i would say that warlock is viable, but so is everything in this bracket..

Just cause Warlocks dont global, doesnt mean they arent a no
 
Oh am sorry, i was talking about locks in general not a specific spec. I don't have any 1st person warlock experience in 80-84, but i would go destro first and see where it takes me from there.



Warlock is not a complete no overall but in that list of classes its more of a no then a yes.



Hpala=Resto > Ret > DK > Warlock=Ele > Enhance, IMHO thats how i would put it if you planing to play solo.



P.S. note there are no specific "power values" in that comparison chain, so do not take it out of context.
 
Out of the serious burst classes, Warlocks don't stack up with classes like mage, but specs like destro have potential, as well as quite a bit of DR to make up for damage.



I was working on my lock for a while, stack resil and profit when people hit you for nothing.
 
warlocks have few defensive cds, demo relys on meta, afflic is more steady dps less burst (and really no damage w/o ua up, or if they negate uas effects and dispel ur crap anyways), i have fun as destro but its still squishy

fears a pretty weak cc with all the dispels flying around and shit like cloak & berserker rage

couple all that with a high skill cap and it really just aint that fun unless you really just like locks. if you dont have any special affection for locks then pick something else imo



warriors are fun, but mostly with healers
