Switching Toons for Wrath

Atar's picture

Atar — Wed, 09/03/2008 - 07:21

Since I've been back at work these past two weeks I've done an insane amount of research on all the classes and specs that will be introduced in WotLK.   All these changes are going to take a lot of getting used too, but I really think everyone in DF is capable of grasping the new class mechanics swiftly.

As of right now I'm not sure if I want raid as a Feral Druid anymore for Wrath.  I'm not 100% on that conclusion, but I'm really thinking about.  I've really focused on the Priest and Shaman talents as of late.  All three trees look amazing to me for both classes. 

Point blank...I love to heal.  I think healing takes a huge passion and it takes a lot of skill to be an amazing healer.  I'm still doing research on both Priests and Shaman at the moment to see the how well they'll perform in WotLK.

Also, I've really really been looking into Shadow Priests.  One of the things that draws me to them for Wrath is that there aren't a HUGE amounts of changes as far as play style and I like that.  I've always thought playing a shadow priest, although low on the dps meters, was extremely fun.  The constant casting of DIFFERENT spells and you're not spamming just one or two buttons.  I've been leveling a second priest on my spare time lately to go shadow for WotLK.  I'm not sure if it'll be my main or not.  We'll see when that day comes.

 

BTW...this was my first blog EVER

Pedran — Thu, 09/04/2008 - 06:54

Honestly I'll probably be last to 80 on both my paladin and my priest.   So as long as it isn't ret, I'll go whichever spec is needed on whichever toon as my main.  I love healing, whether holy paly or priest (prefer priest.....) and I love tankadin and facemeltin.

 

So... meh.   I just know I doubt I'll level a DK because if I do that I know I'll be last to 80.

judgedredd — Thu, 09/04/2008 - 06:06

i'm still lookin to lvl judge to 80 first, depending on the changes i may go prot. If prot is still unappealing i will be fury once more. If warriors end up going to hell i will be swaping my main to my hunter.

Well I'm not sure anyone

Blizzhax — Wed, 09/03/2008 - 17:34

Well I'm not sure anyone cares but Shaman is my final stop.  It won't change ever again.. and it may never change from Enhancement.  (Healing would be my only other spec.. but I will have to collect lotsa gear on the way up to 80)

I'll level whatever is

Adwarflol — Wed, 09/03/2008 - 16:57

I'll level whatever is needed first, Garreth said we would probably be low on healers in wrath and that it would be easier to get a raid spot as a priest. But I do prefer to level a hunter which is really what's making me unsure. I've looked at the new mechanics and I heard CoH got nerfed...or something. I wouldn't really want to play a priest if I couldn't lolCoH.

Jorence — Wed, 09/03/2008 - 15:55

I like healing, I'm good at it, but it's not something I want to do forever and ever. I plan on rerolling, again, to a DK. My shaman may or may not be resto at 80. But, I can guarantee she won't be elemental.

As for the deathknight, I've played with unholy and blood. I still like blood. Less down time, and plays more like a ret pally than anything.

With that said, I again plan on rerolling, however, what ever the guild needs is probably what I'll end up raiding on. I don't want to not raid and not talk with my guild every night. I would cry.

I've been on the fence for a while now. I LOVE healing...but with Wrath on our heals, now is the time to make a change if a change is needed. I still can't decided if a change is needed for me...as of right now...plans are to remain a holy paladin.

Katibug — Wed, 09/03/2008 - 12:34

I love Katibug to death and will lvl her first.  If we have an overabundance of healers, I'd consider taking Sqwee as a raider, but I don't think it'd be nearly as fun.

Diky you bring up a legitiment concern with regardes to Garreth and leveling. The guild might have to take turns with G on follow while he fiddles with his UI.

Sorry garreth I had to tease just because of all the fun you have with your mage. Please don't shoot me ^.^

Josalin — Wed, 09/03/2008 - 11:12

"There will come a time, soon before Wrath, where Downfall will be asking you to choose ONE toon to make your main. No more, no less. These stated mains are what we will use to construct our raids. "  Oh thank god. That'll be nice.

And theres atleast no worries about me ever switching mains. I'm terrible at leveling alts. Resto dr00d 4 life.

jaibyrd — Wed, 09/03/2008 - 11:00

I will be jaibyrd I will be holy and I will raid.  That said I love to play with my little warrior and am looking forward to whatever the game brings, it seems just when I think some part might possibly get boring BAM! POOF! something changes to make it more interesting again.  I actually play 4 healers. priest/druid/pally/shammy but the others are for hanging w/ friends etc not for raiding. It is very possible I might start to play my mage, shad priest and hunter again but just for fun. And as for deathknights?  I may get around to making one and lvling it at some point but I'm pretty sure that DK is not the only class that will be needed to lvl and to raid in the future so I'm staying with the one I love best. Jai.

Yes, I like to heal. No, I've never been shadow.

Thezoo — Wed, 09/03/2008 - 09:41

Yeah, from looking at the beta forums ferals are definitely being put in a tough spot. The whole reason to take us over a prot war/protadin was the ability to be a good tank or an acceptable DPS. Now we cannot do that and warriors will have the same (possibly more) armor and HP than us, and none of our talents scale. But, we'll see. I've been leveling a fury warrior and am working on a resto shaman right now, so i should be ready for anything =P

I doubt rogues are done.

saedo — Wed, 09/03/2008 - 09:31

I doubt rogues are done. So far it's been 2 blue posts saying what they'd like to do. None of the stuff is on Beta yet.

The lack of information before on the rogues wonder whether to stick to it. Now some interest is back in it to see how this all plays out.

The Holy Pallies do seem a bit more interesting to play now. Though Beacon of Light isn't a HoT bomb anymore. More of a allow you to heal a focus target while healing others kinda thing. Not quite an aoe heal but does let you heal someone else without really straying from like say the MT. Or double up on their healing with it.

Anyways, still have to see how it all plays out by the time Wrath hits. Most likely, if not Beta, then patch 3.0 is where all the testing I'd be doing.
