I am a new player and I have three characters that I have in mind. (Mage on Burning Crusade, Hunter or Paladin on WOTLK)
Any input on how viable each is would be appreciated.
One thing I worry about is how hard group formation is. If that is an issue I will go Paladin/WOTLK as I can play healer or tank if need be.
If dungeons/raids are reasonable to get into I would lean toward the Hunter.
