Hi all,
WoW is downloading as i type this and i've been scrolling the forums trying to find which class to play.
I played Hunter to 80 on retail and then stopped playing but wanting to get back into it.
So, to all the people on here, which is the most in demand class? (obviously tank/healer) but specifically which one? Is there any that are too saturated?
Whats the PVE/PVP like? Who has the furthest raid progression so far?
Cheers guys
For reference (no particular order of demand):
Tanks - Warrior, Death Knight, Paladin, Druid
Ranged Dps - Mage, Warlock, Hunter, Shaman, Druid, Priest
Melee Dps - Rogue, Warrior, Death Knight, Paladin, Druid, Shaman
Pure Dps - Rogue, Mage, Hunter, Warlock
Hybrid Caster Dps (healing class) - Shaman, Druid, Priest
Hybrid Melee Dps (healing class) - Paladin, Shaman, Druid
Ranged Dps (not a healing class) - Mage, Warlock, Hunter
Melee Dps (not a healing class) - Rogue, Warrior, Death Knight
Healers - Paladin, Shaman, Druid, Priest
Locks are in high demand. That's generally speaking.
Healers of all sorts are in demand it seems. But that's the deal everywhere.
Alliance side atm:
rsham/ele sham (guilds and pugs)<10% heroism bot, chain heal and totems bot
hunter (prog guilds, some pugs)<10% for end game content (few spots however)
Lock dps (all) <5% this is because Lock is very boring and is a summon stone bot sbolt spam tbh, demo only real build
priest (depends on the month, sometimes many sometimes none; many alt priest as a result)<10% hard to play
ferals and enh have low rates too but their spots are typically replaced by warr, death knight and bear tank, they are also hard to play (buffs and perceived better dps)
seemingly rare atm (perhaps from patches) : balance druid, fury warrior
also perhaps because nature of expansion and how strong the class is -
hpala (prog guilds, pugs), ret pala (pugs) prot pala (pugs) but pala also has the most volatile population and demand as well, probably account for 20% of realm in general
rest there are plenty, esp plate dps
however, you should play what you want to play above all and master all specs for that class imo
Roles based on what the server needs the most:
Tanks: Paladin > Death Knight - Druid | Pick any of these.
Healers: Priest - Shaman - Paladin - Druid | Pick any of these.
R DPS: Warlock, Druid, Priest > Mage, Hunter, Shaman | Based on what server's lacking.
M DPS: Druid > Rogue > Warrior - Death Knight* - Paladin > Shaman | Based on what server's lacking. *Higher if Frost.
I feel like this server is pretty open as long as the GS and skill is there. My suggestion is play what you will enjoy.
Ofcourse it doesn't matter if you are full bis. The issue is getting that gear. It's much easier to get into runs as boomkin / demo lock than as a ret paladin. Obviously, that's not a primary factor when choosing a class, but it is still a factor. If you narrowed the selection down to 2 - 3 classes, higher demand of one classs than others can be a deciding factor.Quote:

Play a retri to get guaranteed gear in VoA 25.
Shamans are blessed more in VOA
with the server pop the way it is, the demand for anything is not a real thing. its easy to fill any role so play what you like most
Well that's just not true. Finding tanks, let alone competent ones, is difficult even for god damn RDFs and VoAs.Quote:

Narrowing down to 2-3 that you MIGHT like is common, and choosing one of those 2-3 might be an issue, so factors like "which one is more in demand" are important.
