Ok, I'm having the following problem:
My main is a lvl 60 disc/holy priestess (Melisandre), which is doing great in raiding but is unfortunatly of little use anywhere else. Though I can take on every mob a shadow specc or any other class can, killing speed is simply abysmal. This makes soloing a rather frustating experience. I tried the new silithus content and gave up quickly as soloing mobs in disc/holy mode was such a mind numbing grinding compared to the the killing frenzy I rememebred, when Melisandre was still shadow/disc specced. PvP is another problem...
To make things worse, I have to somehow get the money for my epic mount together as guildies are making fun my good 'ol standard skeleton horse (though I really only need to ride from Kargath to Blackrockmountain, Brackenwall to Onyxias Lair and Grom'gol to Zul'gurub; but it is an issue of proper representation ;) ). As you can't make money out of high-end raiding (no cashloot, high repair costs) I have to find some other way.
So not being able to enjoy solo content / PvP as well as the need to take care of above mentioned financial pressures, I decided it is time to roll a casual/PvP/farm char to relax from raiding duties as well as supporting my raiding main Melisandre.
So far I have leveled up a lvl 20 warlock (Meret) and lvl 13 rogue (Illaria). As leveling beyond lvl 20 begins to be a bit time consuming I want to make sure that make the right class choice for my alt.
This is where I need your help.
Let me reiterate the "job description" I have in mind for my alt:
1. Has to level up fast and casually (when I grind I need to be in zen like state where I play the game at an almost subconsius level, chatting away in voice, or listening to music. That is the main drawback in playing a rogue imho: you have to pay close attention to your actions and time your skills carefully).
2. Deriving from point one but more specifcally in terms of cash flow: must have a reasonable killing speed.
3. Being soloable of course.
4. Low dependency on gear, as I don't want to run instances to equip my alt properly. Running instances is what I do on my main almost exclusively and I need sometimes to do things on my own.
5. Having solid PvP qualities, just in case I need either to defend myself or get the sudden urge to gank someone :shuriken:
6. Being fun to play :)
Being a clothwearer is plus, since Melisandre is an accomplished tailor and thus can provide cheap gear upgrades.
Any Ideas? Warlock, Rogue, Mage or Hunter? What do you altitis experts say? *g*
