Hey, I am an experience 19 twink looking to make a new twink in a different bracket. So i chose 39. My question is what class should i pick? I know it is all personal preference, but i do not want to make a class that everyone else plays. So what classes are "rare" in this bracket? Looking for one with a little more DPS abilities, b/c i play a sword and board war atm. Thanks for the info
 
so warrior is out of the mix



rogues, hunters, warlocks, priests and paladins seem pretty common from my battlegroup.



so druid, shaman, and mage all seem like pretty good choices



from personal experiences, i've had a blast playing on an FC mage and FC druid.



i would definately note that mages are one of the most dynamic DPS classes, if not the most dynamic, at 39. a plethora of spells at your disposal, but they really have to be timed well in order to be effective. not a class for someone who isn't very skilled, unless you're going to make an arcane mage FC (which is incredibly easy to play :p)



druids are very dynamic in that they can choose from many different specs. feral spec does somewhat poor dps but is very good for survivability as well as just being a nuisance to your target because of the speed and feral charge. druids can also FC pretty well as either 0/30/0 or 0/13/17. balance spec provides you with very high heals and a glass cannon that can output incredible single target dps with wrath as well as burst with starfire and multitarget dps with dots. resto druids are very good burst healers.



shamans are incredibly underplayed at 39. they are kind of dynamic like druids only in a different way. they have many totems at their disposal such as grounding totem and they have all the shocks which allows them to CC, dps, and interrupt targets. they also have heals and ranged casting spells, although they are a bit weaker than other classes at that. if you decide to you can go enhance and basically swing a slow speed weapon and hope for huge procs. resto is a very good utility healer. enhance provides for a very dynamic dps class. whichever way you spec or gear your shaman it will always have utility, and kind of be like the jack of all trades.
 
All classes have good and bad points. i would suggest starting with a class u know. that way u know all the ins and outs of it.



on my battlegroup(Ruin) alliance is very short any kind of healer, other then that i dont see shammy much, or druids. as for horde they have a very diverse group of 39 twinks every class is played. but there are over played ones, rogues for both sides, horde has a huge amount of BE ret pally, and both have a good amount of locks.
 
The mage is one of the most impressive classes in both bg and arena. Very dynamic and 'fast reaction' play. You can do a tonne of both cc and damage, and with iceblock, you are also pretty hard to kill. When you see a mage heatwave out of an iceblock, doing 500 damage to everything around it and knocking back + dazing, it really is quite impressive.



Very hard to kill too for most melee classes, as you simply cannot stay on top of it. Also excellent in arena, in both 2v2 and 3v3. I don't think you can go wrong with mage. Just accept however, that you won't always win 1v1 duels.



Tbh, if you have warrior experience, and you also like arena, try and team up with a good disc priest - these guys are absolute god mode in arena. Kuttz from my guild chucks around 900 crits, followed by cleaves and whirlwinds for some monster damage - if he gets on top of a mage, they insta-lose 1/2 their hp. Warriors are NOT good in most 1v1 situations, or PuG's however.
 
I suggest you try rolling a shaman or a mage. Really, as Druiddroid points out: Shamans is quite underplayed. They are actually really powerful, this both being as ele, resto n' enhancement(or maybe even the 1h enhancement healerthing). Lots of shocks, water shield, tremor totem, grounding totem, ghostform, purge and also okay assistburst as even resto with CL n LB. For sure a shaman can do well in arena aswell with the right setup and a wellplaying player behind, I imagine shaman+war, shaman+lock, shaman+hunter or shaman+retri being really nice setups.



Regarding the mages, they're a good choice aswell. Frost wins specc-wise imo, however fire and arcane does allright aswell. Arcane mostly does great in combination with a rogue, while fire can work with other classes aswell.



But a "rare" class - I would vote for a shaman then!:) And good luck with it

In my battlegroupe, there is only one mage 39, and he is always in the top dps of Bgs (with me :p ) and in arene, i have seen him once, he destroys everything.



Elesian, u are right about warriors, with a priest, it kills everything (a horde group of warrior + priest kills everything in my battlegroup, its depressing :p )
