Hello all,
I was looking at the different classes in preparation for the retail launch of WoW in Europe and I can't help but feel ... a wee bit overwhelmed.
I have played MMORPG's before, SWG and DAoC to name a few, but this time I feel really out on thin ice. What class? They all seem to be riddled with micro-management issues and a need for super know-how. My first reaction was to from pure principle go with a caster class, recreate my faithful mage Alrin (that has stuck with me through every single game where I could enter my PC's name).
Then again I read on peoples thoughts on all the classes.
And all I feel is... AAAARGH! Need more hours per day! Nnnnnghhhh!
Warriors, Paladins, Hunters, Priests, Warlocks etc etc etc ad naseum.
I want to be able to run around a little solo, but I also want to be of some use in a party/raid whatever comes along. I want to be able to stand on my own feet firmly, yet I want to play an integral role in other peoples characters lives.
Am I simply going mad? Or is this normal WoW-sickness? As it looks right now, it weighs between mage / warlock / hunter. Mage because the stereotype COOLNESS. Pure and simple. And I love raw unadultered power. Warlock because of the wicked style. The pet summoning, casting summon portals and a catchy class name :P
Hunter because of the lone-ranger style, sniper skills and out-doorsy abilities. The only thing putting me off on that class is that I cannot play as human.
Oh well, sorry for the rant but this is really gnawing away at me. Yes I do not have the game yet, wont for atleast a month until the final beta is over but I still want to have a firm hold on what I want to become and not fiddle around with lots of toons and become lame on every class. I want to learn one and stick with it for a while and not remain unhappy.
Oh well, replies and thoughts on this topic are welcome.
Cheers, Alrin
