What Class Should YOU Pick for Classic WoW? The Ultimate Guide to Picking a Class 

My 8yr old just came in and was like "Who is he? The creator of the game? Tellin everyone what to do." Lol

Rogues | 0:34 Warriors | 4:23 Mage | 9:25 Paladin | 15:03 Warlock | 18:13 Priest | 20:53 Shamans | 24:50 Druids | 27:40 Hunter | 30:28

_When you want to decide your class so you watch one of these videos but it only makes your choice harder_

i like how you went over the downsides thoroughly. many other channels just go over how great every class is and dont really give too much insight as to the troubles you might face playing a certain class.

Having a bunch of mages working together to feed the power of another mage is pretty badass. It seems like something mages would do.

Man, ive seen any "witch class should i pick" videos, and this is the f*cking first i agree nearly all words in this. 10/10 work mate. And the best thing i understand nearly all words without youtube help with my poor English, how u talk i just understand without any problem. really rare :D

Really good points on the Hunter, I was on the fence but you made some good arguments that helped me decide. Thanks!

Big sub from me! Best class coverage yet!

As a vanilla rogue main, obtaining gear and getting into guilds were such a pain. However, topping meters and pvp was so fun.

lisen up guys this guy "broke the mold"

I feel you forgot to mention the hunter-specific quest for the bow & staff. That quest is a fond memory of mine, loved that you had to solo a bunch of bosses and stuff. Great vid!

Shaman lvling should be atleast 3. You get a heartstone spell (astral recall) that can be used every 15min! That really helps with lvlin

Yay, I am a real trooper! :> Thanks buddy, that was interesting!

What the. THat JSRF outro caught me off guard. Take your like sir!

Great video. I like that you added very specific details for each spec and realistic viability in raids. You also sound like the dude who makes the Casually Explained videos haha-was waiting for some sarcasm

This just made my decision harder thanks >:)

Very nice guide . Very accurate and was helpful for me to recount for PvP. Everyone from Srublords to Pawndawgs should find this useful . Good job

The Chain Healing animation will always be reminding me of TBC.

this was the video that we can tell you hit your groove in making content. your script is set, editing is clean, and a level vocal tone/demeanor. It is the start the "meme of the day" videos.

Great video bro, way to make me get SUPER keen for this release. Bring back those good old days

One thing extra that ret pally, dps shammy and spriests have going for them. They are a resto druids best friend in dungeouns since they bring an extra rezz.

I was still in dubio what i should level up. But now im sure it will be a hunter😉👍

+10 for playing a Jet Set Radio Future track on the outro.

really excited to play Classic again, I was in the Wow beta years ago

Why the hell am I watching these videos 3 months before classic releases? These just make me want to play so much.

Deserved sub, looking forward to more content :)

Good video lots of insight and good information. Thanks, def hit the sub button

The first character I ever made was a hunter. You talking about the zombies in Nax and distracting shot and stuff really brought back memories of my raiding days. Good times.

Which Class should you pick? simple whatever u like the most,its classic t

Ive had my hunter since the early days still my main, second is druid, i still use both and have allot of fun with, havnt gotten too far in classic yet with my paladin, i miss the golden days of wow good times

Love the contrast between talking about Arms pvp--"the kings, I repeat, the kings!!!" and then all the energy getting sucked out of the room when he talks about the warrior leveling process

Your videos are PHENOMENAL!!! Well done! Sub for life here. Thanks for the hard work, because I know these videos aren’t easy to make and take a lot of time, especially when they’re this professionally done.

Got my heart set on a forsaken warrior, alchemy, herbalism and fishing for downtime, I was in the army for Vanilla so i'm looking forward to classic.

Great video, really enjoyed it. CLASSIC HYPE

Out of all my years of WoW I never really ran a caster. I think I did 1 Druid and quit it at 75. Might give it a shot this time.

That fire mage ignite tip was great! Spent ages going through these type of videos to narrow down my main. You helped me decide on Hunter.

I will be a warrior tank and never be there for my raid :) just like it's meant to be

we had some pvp 1v1 tournaments on our realm...in the end, it was always wl vs wl :D

Hey man, real nice vid, been playing wow since ver 1.4, and I still found your video very interesting, watched the whole thing! Very entertaining too, keep up the good work.

Is soulfire obtainable at the patch we're expecting?

Was a Paladin in Classic....will be a Paladin again!

Started playing in BC before BT dropped and always played a Warlock, including on vanilla private servers within the past year. Personally I think they deserved a 5/5 Spongebabs for levelling due to their ability to deal with multiple targets at a time. Dot 2 targets, pet tank one, fear juggle the other. Done properly and with some judicious life drain/tap, you have little downtime between pulls. If you're feeling adventurous enough, you dot three, pet tank one, juggle another and wand/drain the third.

Kinda one of the best of this ''Class Choice explain'' Vids, good for ppl that are intrested in Details and progressive stuff

dont normally like videos, but the amount of effort this one has put into it deserves a like.

doesn't matter, just do unorthodox builds for everything. i had so much fun back then trying to do quirky builds on every class. like PVP based hunter with high melee output to help deal with warriors and the like. (now, i can't actually remember how it held up to be fair, but i do remember it at least being decent enough, i had fun.) or that time i did a near suicidal warlock build with a mate that tanked, IIRC you could do rain of fire or something like that as well as hellfire at the same time, mate would just pull a bunch of mobs while i went mental on aoe, one (or both?) of which damaged me aswell. actually, that might've just been standard warlock now that i think of it... fuck if i remember

Thanks for the warning at the beginning. I took advantage of RU-vid's speed function. ;)

Really appreciate the time you put into these man! Thanks!

Thanks, Punkrat! Very helpful.

The only thing that makes hunters better levelers than warlock is the movement speed aspect pre 40

rogues may have been popular back in vanilla, but with wow classic i guarantee you warriors will be most played class.

commenting just after the rogue intro, very well made and ty sir! =D. Would love the link to the pvp mage spec

Hmm so if I'm looking for a class with the most fun leveling /world pvp experience--what do I go? Note that I have played a lot of rogue before so I might want to try something different.

I mained a hunter, it was my first and only 60 until wotlk. You nailed it but forgot to mention that we're a huge pain for the most played class in vanilla, rogues. I can't tell you how many rogues would rage at me. Also back in the days when hunters used mana, all gear was "hunter gear" 😂

I spent what felt like a million hours in WSG. Thunderhorn server Druid named Desperado. (I NEED to get that name again).. With a even half decent premade WSG group and a skilled and geared druid. Games last less than 10 min. Unstoppable. Druid pvp set gives cheetah form the speed of a mount with no cast time. If you can get outside with the flag its all over but the crying for the other team. I hate/miss those endless hours of making figure 8's on WSG.

always love the dancing nelf.

The class i want to play was listed last. The anticipation. But with all the amazingness i heard from the other classes im glad to say im still content being a hunter. And it makes me happy that you can be more casual on a hunter cuz i certainly wont be try harding

You make a lot of good points about rolling hunter, and I can certainly relate to not having as much time to play as I used to. From my experience in a progression guild back in vanilla, hunters and druids were the fastest to gear up followed by priests who were funneled basically everything, even more than the main tank. I think this time around, however, the classic meta will have more to do with private servers. It'd be easy to just "play what I want" but I think meta-gaming and predicting which classes will be over- and under-populated based on private servers will lead to a better time. For example, the most sought-after class for raids is actually resto shaman. 8 shamans per raid, 20% of the raid blue bar bois, while they're usually about 10% of Horde characters. I think I'm rolling shaman.

You've helped me solidify my starting main thank you.

joining the real trooper club . feels good man

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing your insight.

Yep, going hunter as well for just about the exact same reasons as you. 👍👍

lmao love "the KINGS" part

Back in Vanilla I played a Human Priest and Human Paladin tank. So I will probably play either a Warrior or Dwarf Priest

I think it was and will be what you LIKE and HAVE FUN playing

"oom", man that takes be back

I'm going to pick Tauren warrior Prot spec .Was MT on day one in Naxxramas on my Vanilla guild , and Is by far the best class for classic nostalgia ;D

Very good video. Great job

Really want to play a warrior but levelling is painful and I don’t know if I can do that to myself for 4-6 months

I played a Hunter through retail WoW, vanilla - BFA. I shall be a Hunter again in classic 😂 love the class

Hunter is one of the best classes for pvp hands down whether it’s wpvp, bgs or premades they are without a doubt 5 stars.

Could you do a video just like this, but for What class should you pick in WoW Classic for World PvP?

Just hearing how Punkrat talks about the Warrior makes me so damn hyped!

Mages sharing damage, stalin approves.

About ret, the nost core code has it wrong.(hear me out this is actually new info) Nano, one of the nost devs outright said that there was very little information about how holy damage really worked in PVE and even less information about ret paladins specifically. For example the lead class designer who essentially built all of the classes recently said in an interview that the whole idea behind holy damage was that it is the only form of damage that can’t be resisted, but if you look at gameplay From nost/Elysium/LH you can see some mobs partially resisting/resisting holy damage. So right off the bat all of the information we have about ret pally DPS over the past few years is completely wrong. Yea they are still going to be heavily reliant on consumables but the DPS numbers we have are completely wrong.

I don’t remember if I leveled my hunter towards the end of vanilla or the start of BC but I’m looking forward to old school hunters again. When being a good trapper actually mattered, and kitting everything like a boss. And I’m so excited for aspect to come back haha. I was so pissed when they butchered it for what it is now.

Great video, well done!

Burning Crusade was the best days of WoW

Gearing Hunters is easy... every item is a hunter item... :D

Awesome video !!

Man, i was pretty set on hunter,now youre making me second guess if i wanna roll priest or not

Rogue & Shaman 100% 👌🏻 Main a warlock and rogue on Live at the moment. Put the shaman on the shelf after 7 years so it’d be nice to return to my original roots for classic. I started in TBC so I’m super pumped for this Thanks for the video and keep up the good work

Im sorry man but talking about warlocks in pve, not mentioning soulstones and summoning people..dude? :P

You convinced me to roll hunter ive rolled lock since day one but casters don’t seem as fun and I get to keep a pet and the range

Skramtank has a bunch of videos on Feral Tank, an off tank that isn't cannibalistic to main tank progression and the melee buff is enough to get you a try out for off tank.

Going Nelf Rogue because I feel like it. Human Mage for my alt.

I've already made my decision- a dwarf priest. But I'm still here to see what you have to say.

What vanilla server are you currently playing on? Btw, thanks for the video and all of the info.

I played shaman a bit in vanilla. Elemental and Enhance had big big mana issues but in a dungeon if you regen after each pull, it was very decent. The damage is quite there, especially the elem spec is extremly explosive with lots of things happing at once for a big reliable aoe burst that felt honestly extremly satisfying (15 y ago).

Think its important to note that as shadow priest you can spec for 50% increased dmg with wand. Which is really good for mana control while leveling, and also a decent filler ability if you happen to go oom during raids :)

would have expect one or one and a half spongebob's for warrior leveling.

Ignored the Discipline Spec for Priests completely. This is a great alternative for players that wish to heal and do a little damage too.

OMG you have a video of Pat the warrior??? Thumbs up just for that!

1 day till classic and im still not sure what class to pick..

Peter Dinklage in a priest outfit while talking about dwarf priests made my day.

My main was a warrior when I started playing in 2004. Back then nobody wanted to tank because it was too hard or just unpopular, so I always got into raids and picked up for group runs. I wonder what guilds in classic will go back to using DKP.

wow a class guide that is actually realistic, most guides are just more bias towards rogues warriors and mages

Holy shit this video is getting some traffic. Gratz man 🍺

Nice I wanted to play warrior but now this vid just made me go hunter🤓🤓🤓

thanks you helped me to choose my class :D

Have to go with Rogue, I mained Warrior back in vanilla but had a Rogue alt. Happyminti was like my favorite Rogue/PvPer during vanilla and it's time to go full pvp in vanilla.
