Melee choice for beginner

[Shizu19761976]

Hi all,

I just started PVP. I play SP and it's very fun.
But i'd like to try melee (i have Rogue / War / DK). Someone tell me Rogue is hard to play. Which melee class would be easier?

Thx a lot

I would start with dk. Rogue isnt hard per se, you just have to monitor a lot of things and act accordingly. DK is more straightforward. Warrior is the hardest as skill cap goes imo. You can be an ok warrior easily, but there are a lot of nuances to being a good warrior.

Unless you have a pocket healer I think ret pala is a better idea.

This applies to every single class and spec.
No exceptions.

If you are not interested in reaching a high skill ceiling, there are classes that are much, much better than others. Especially in battlegrounds.

I search a class fun to play^^ not too hard (47 years old inside - no longer the same reflexes). Or maybe melee are not for me^^ and i should play ranged

Thx for your reply

If you are playing battlegrounds:

SP is very good and fun, as you have realised. Another good choice for ranged is hunter.

As a melee you will be receiving hits, and you are reliant on having healers around. If you don't have healers you will die often which is frustrating. DK and paladin are playable without healers but it's still a bad experience.

For arenas there are other options depending on who you play with.

Shadow priest is awesome because you don't even need to face your opponents to cast a lot of your spells which is a big plus, so consider how that will affect you when you try other classes. Rogue experience sucks. It's like a stack of cards. Too fragile, and too 1v1 oriented for me. Somebody butting in to help can end up killing you, which I never experienced with other classes. Fun to you might be warrior & DK. Fun to me is feral druid. Consider hunter as well. It's a ranged melee. No casting, all the shots hurt, can even melee a little bit, can use many useful pets.

If you're new, just create retri pala, stun player, use wings and right click = 2k rating.
