Interesting topic, because I've asked the same, or a similar question myself last week: "Which two solo characters (1 Horde, 1 Alliance) of your currently 6 RP characters (Undead Warrior, Undead Warlock, Tauren Druid, Orc Shaman, Dwarf Hunter, Night Elf Druid) would you keep if you're forced to limit your playing time significantly?"
After some thinking I picked the following two characters:
- Undead Warlock with Tailoring/Enchanting for Horde
- Night Elf Druid with Herbalism/Alchemy for Alliance
For the Horde, my favorite was quickly picked: I *love* the Undead race and their playing regions, and as a big Diablo II Necromancer fan, the summoning Warlock with his finicky skill management was a natural choice. Tailoring/Enchanting was also a natural choice because the Warlock can wear the partly excellent (enchanted) cloth armor, use the bags etc. and can make some very good extra cash by enchanting i.e. metal for miners (enchanted Thorium) or leather for leatherworkers (enchanted Leather). The summoning Warlock is my premier "passive" character choice.
For the Alliance: I love Hunters for their excellent soloing (and PvP) capability, and I love the very funny Dwarven race even more, but I picked the Druid. The reason is the flexibility (Caster, Bear, Cat) which not only gets you an interesting mix of 3 or even 4 different classes (Mage/Priest, Warrior, Rogue) but also a great advantage for solo play, because the separation of the sources Mana/Rage/Energy allows the Druid to survive fights that other classes would not, i.e. the fights against Elite Monsters of the same level. If Mana as Caster/Healer is up, switch to Bear and use Rage or switch to Cat and use Energy, and if Life as Bear or Cat gets low, switch back and heal yourself with a refreshed Mana pool. Herbalism/Alchemy is the natural choice for me for the Druid because the extra buffs and potions make the already durable Druid even better. The casting, healing and meleeing Druid is my premier "active" character choice.
As server type, there's only one option for me: Roleplaying (RP/PvE). The actual horrors with PvP seem to point already in the direction what the future may hold here. There's currently NO way that I will create a character on a dedicated PvP server.
