Which class shoud you play???The question of all time...World of Warcraft players always had that problem,when they wanted to start new character.In this text you will learn about all classes and I hope this text will help you to chose!
So first of all in World of Warcraft we had six expansions so far,and right know we are in Warlords of Draenor where you can chose from 11 classes which is pretty big number.in those 11 classes you have:Melee Damage,Ranged Damage,Healers,Physical Ranged and Magic Ranged or Spellcasters.This is really hard decision on new players and even veterans of World of Warcraft!Also your decision shoud depends on what Talent Tree you want to chose on your character.
Melee Damage Classes:
*Warriors
*Death Knights
*Rogue
*Paladin
*Shaman(Enhancement Talent Tree)
*Monk
Ranged Damage Classes:
*Hunter
*Mage
*Warlock
*Druid
*Priest
*Shaman
Healer Classes:
*Priest
*Shaman
*Druid
*Paladin
*Monk
So these are classes which you can face in World of Warcraft,now I'm going to explain specially what will each class give you!
Warrior
Warriors are melee fighters highly trained in the art of weaponry. Melee combat is the warrior's strongest skill. They are strong and quick on the battlefield. Depending on their specialization, a warrior can often deal very high damage or be tough to kill. Warrior abilities depend on ragegeneration. This is different to all but one melee class that class is bear form druid.
*Spell Animations
Warrior spells are based on swings of his weapon so warrior spells animation isnt satisfactorily,but few spells have some interesting animations like "Charge" when Warrior cast charge he start running at the target and stuns it,while his running red strip outputs of his back.Also Warrior is based on his stances which it will be disccused later,and changings of stances have some really good animations.
*Gameplay
Warrior gameplay is based on smashing enemy head and again smashing.Why?Because his main spells are named like:Colossus Smash,Slam,Thunder Clap...Actually that is not real reason that was just joke.Real reason is the way Warrior is fighting his enemy,how he swings with his weapon on him.Warrior have some preety unique spells from which you feel like true Warrior.I highly recommend Warrior to new players,but Warrior isnt class we are looking for because he lost to many points on Spell Animations because if he has bad animations and boring spells you can get bored really fast.
Death Knights
Death Knights are Lich Kings army which control blood,frost and unholy magic and strike with melee weapons.Death Knights abilities depends on rune power they consume. Death knights or DK are often tanks in dungeons and raids.I really don't recommend this class to new players because DK has a lot of passives and difficult rotation.Death Knights were inserted in WoW during fourth expansion Wrath of the Lich King!
*Spell Animatons
Dk spells are really similar to Warriors spells they are both melee dps classes so they are both striking with weapons but he has some spells which feel damn good while casting them.My personal favourite is when I summon army of undead minions or ghouls.
*Gameplay
DK gameplay is based on their runes but every spec gives you diffrent gameplay.DK can be good for leveling because they have high damage from ther passives and because they can have ghouls as minions.
Rogue
Rogue: the only code is the contract, and their honor is purchased in gold. Free from the constraints of a conscience, these mercenaries rely on brutal and efficient tactics. Lethal assassins and masters of stealth, they will approach their marks from behind, piercing a vital organ and vanishing into the shadows before the victim hits the ground.
*Spell Animations
Rogues spell animations are cool because it feels damn cool when you are a sneaky assassin with only one task in bg.To lurk from shadows and wait for enemy players.trust me guys it feels damn awesome!As Rogue you can choose 3 specs Combat,Subtlety and Assassination in my opinion best visual effects has Combat talent tree.but if you are not that kind of a guy who likes sneaky effects than this is not for you!
*Gameplay
I highly don't recommend this class if you are new to World of Warcraft because it's really hard class to play.Why?Because you have a ton of passive abilities which new players never read.Rogue is not so good at leveling so it's even more harder to new players.
Paladin
Paladins:This is the call of the paladin: to protect the weak, to bring justice to the unjust, and to vanquish evil from the darkest corners of the world. These holy warriors are equipped with plate armor so they can confront the toughest of foes, and the blessing of the Light allows them to heal wounds and, in some cases, even restore life to the dead!
*Spell Animations
Paladins are one of the Blizzard's most favourite classes so they devote most of their time to them.So Paladins visual effects are awesome,and they also have one of the best armor sets in the game.So as a Paladin your spells are based on holy power which looks damn awesome.
*Gameplay
Paladins are easy for leveling because they can heal themselves.As a Paladin a lot of your spells depends on Holy Power they consume and those spells which not consume Holy Power they depend on mana.Paladin is not too difficult class to play so if you are new player you could try yourself as a Paladin.
Shaman
Shaman:Shaman are spiritual guides and practitioners, not of the divine, but of the very elements. Unlike some other mystics, shaman commune with forces that are not strictly benevolent. The elements are chaotic, and left to their own devices, they rage against one another in unending primal fury. It is the call of the shaman to bring balance to this chaos. Acting as moderators among earth, fire, water, and air, shaman summon totems that focus the elements to support the shaman’s allies or punish those who threaten them.
*Spell Animations
Shamans spell animations can look cool depends of the talent tree you choose.But now i will point on Enhancement talents.As enh shaman you strike as melee so effects are low but you also have elemental spells and healing.Totems looks cool and the main visual effects are based on them.
*Gameplay
Gameplay of enh shaman is hard for first levels because some of his main spells aren't available but you can use elemental spells and heal yourself.Totems are helping shaman a lot in leveling and PvP and it really cool to use them.
Monk
Monk:When the pandaren were subjugated by the mogu centuries ago, it was the monks that brought hope to a seemingly dim future. Restricted from using weapons by their slave masters, these pandaren instead focused on harnessing their chi and learning weaponless combat. When the opportunity for revolution struck, they were well-trained to throw off the yoke of oppression.
*Spell Animations
Monk has some fuc*ing damn good visual effects!My personal favourite is ,,Flying Serpent Kick,, you spread your leg and it turns to serpent's head and you can fly with that spell for some time.And it also feels good when you are Kung-Fu master and beating mobs asses like pro!
*Gameplay
Monk's consume Chi energy for their spells and that can get relly boring while you are fighting and waiting Chi.I was never leveling up Monk but I played with him on instant server but I know he's good for both PvP and PvE actions!
Hunter
Hunter:These expert marksmen drop foes dead in their tracks with flawless shots from a bow or rifle. Thanks to their pinpoint timing, hunters are able to fire their ranged weapons quickly – even at enemies who close to melee range with them.
*Spell Animations
Hunters spell animations are not so good well your spells are based on taking shots from bow or rifle so you can just see line which goes out from your weapon to the enemy.As hunter you also have opportunity to lay down traps which looks really cool.
*Gameplay
As Hunter you must keep distance every time when you fight and sometimes it can get really hard.Also you can control a beast which helps you a lot when leveling so a lot of players use hunters as leveling class.Hunter is DPS class so its really hard to find place in Dungeons and its hard to PvP because you dont have healing spells at all.
Mage
Mage:Students gifted with a keen intellect and unwavering discipline may walk the path of the mage. The arcane magic available to magi is both great and dangerous, and thus is revealed only to the most devoted practitioners. To avoid interference with their spellcasting, magi wear only cloth armor, but arcane shields and enchantments give them additional protection. To keep enemies at bay, magi can summon bursts of fire to incinerate distant targets and cause entire areas to erupt, setting groups of foes ablaze.
*Spell Animations
This class have one of the best visual effects and animations in game in every spec,in fire spec you can burn your enemies with fireballs thats look really amazing as frost mage you cant tear your enemies with ice which also look damn cool and arcane with some of the most colorful spells.
In my opinion this class have best visual effects in game.
*Gameplay
As Mage your leveling is not so easy but its still normal to level up.One handy thing with mage is that you can build portals and teleport yourslef to some of the most popular places in Azeroth or other zones in WoW.
Warlock
Warlock:In the face of demonic power, most heroes see death. Warlocks see only opportunity. Dominance is their aim, and they have found a path to it in the dark arts. These voracious spellcasters summon demonic minions to fight beside them. At first, they command only the service of imps, but as a warlock’s knowledge grows, seductive succubi, loyal voidwalkers, and horrific felhunters join the dark sorcerer’s ranks to wreak havoc on anyone who stands in their master’s way.
*Spell Animations
Warlock is my second favourite spell animations class i just enjoy myself as demonic servant which is destroying everything with is in his way with fire and affliction spells whick looks damn awesome
*Gameplay
Warlock gameplay is one of the hardest gameplay in WoW his rotations are really complicated and leveling is hard but you can also summon a demon to help you.
Druid
Druid:Druids harness the vast powers of nature to preserve balance and protect life. With experience, druids can unleash nature’s raw energy against their enemies, raining celestial fury on them from a great distance, binding them with enchanted vines, or ensnaring them in unrelenting cyclones.
*Spell Animations
Druid can be both DPS and Healer class so it have a lot of animations as a Druid you can transform to other forms as Feral spec you can transform to 4 diffrent forms and as a balance you can transform to 5 and I think Blizzard did a really good job with visual effects on Druid.
Gameplay*
Druid forms help him a lot in leveling and also a lot of people choose him as a class for ,,Iron Man Challange,, because its easy to level him.Druid can find his place in Dingeons really easy because he can play all 3 roles in Dungeons.
Priest
Priest:Priests are devoted to the spiritual, and express their unwavering faith by serving the people. For millennia they have left behind the confines of their temples and the comfort of their shrines so they can support their allies in war-torn lands. In the midst of terrible conflict, no hero questions the value of the priestly orders.
*Gameplay
Healers are really weak class when it comes to dealing damage.But they find raid groups and dungeons groups really easy.Leveling is not so good because there are a lot of healing spells.
*Spell Animations
Spell Animations and visual effects can be really interesting,and you can feel really cool,but I still think that DPS classes have best spell animations!
So first of all in World of Warcraft we had six expansions so far,and right know we are in Warlords of Draenor where you can chose from 11 classes which is pretty big number.in those 11 classes you have:Melee Damage,Ranged Damage,Healers,Physical Ranged and Magic Ranged or Spellcasters.This is really hard decision on new players and even veterans of World of Warcraft!Also your decision shoud depends on what Talent Tree you want to chose on your character.
