I already have a 70 druid, and I want to start an alt. I want it to be a Blood Elf, since I am curious to try the new starting areas in BC. Since I already have a druid, I don't want to start another healing character - so no priests for me. Right now I am thinking of:
Hunter - Interesting class. Pets sound like a lot of fun.
Mage - I'd like to try a [damage] caster. All of my friends are mages, and they say they're pretty awesome. I hear they're an efficient class.
Rogue - DPS. Quick-leveling. Ganking. Easy class.
What do you guys think? I am going to be playing very casually, so I am not interested in joining high-profile guilds or doing any endgame raids.

My fire spec mage is ftw -- solo'ed fire spec from 1-70 and got full S1.

ROGUE

we could use a Rogue on our guild in Muradin. JOIN US.

ROGUE
i loved my rogue, but that was back when ROGUES WERE MEN and everyone else were pussies. Stealthing past content (yay Barman Shanker), sneaking into the Inn at Southshore and killing the people who were AFK, sneaking into Ironforge and causing problems etc..
Then Blizzard put in stealth seeing things EVERYWHERE and you couldn't do shit. Everyone else got a buff and Rogues were left behind with no useful abilities and shithouse at mass PVP.
I haven't played in almost two years so things could be better but I loved playing my rogue. I got sick of my cunt of a guild leader taking my weapons (the Dagger from Hakar, which he then upgraded to the twin blades from ZG like the taco cunt he is) and the Rogue breastplate in MC not dropping.
-
i like hunters.
nothing more fun than killing lots quickly
-
like fire mages? lol
-
1.5 scorch = bread n butter o grinding.
-
Rogues are annoying as fuck. When I played, I was an undead warrior and I loved it.

there's nothing worse than me struggling to grind, and then noticing a mage killing mobs with 3-4 hits not too far from my area :'(
-
I kill most 70 mobs before they even get to me. 28% chance to crit fireballs and 34% chance to crit with scorch and fireblast makes for effective grinding!
-
no fair!
and i hate being laughed at after a mage kills me without taking any damage from me. stupid stupid stupid :'(
-
yeah a mage isn't as bad off as most people think, even against rogues I dont do horrible. Its the mage vs mage fights that are tricky, especially if the other mage was smart enough to put 17 into arcane for imp counterspell. Double teamed I generally lose tho, fire spec cc sux, im all about single target decimation
-
I really enjoy playing a mage. Definately fun if you've played another caster too - it's a massive change of pace.
-
Mage.
Blood elf rogues are so fucking played out and the racial bonuses are nice.

Rogue is pretty powerful right now. It might get nerfed by the time you hit 70, but right now it and warrior are the hunny bunnies of WoW. A rogue with aoe silence is pwn.
Mages can aoe grind, nuke, never buy food/water and get a dungeon group easy.
Hunter is easy and that may be why I never got one past lvl 40. It is so easy it kind of gets boring. Plus, you're fighting the huntard stygma.
WILD CARD CHOICE: Shaman! The close bro to druid, the hybrid without a tanking form, but one of the fastest leveling classes in game. Level enhancement, blow through enemies, dominate PvP pre-BC and have fun. You get ghostwolf at 20 to make quest running easier and a self rez later on. At 70 you can be resto and have one of the best heals in the game, stay enhancement to be a melee buff or try Ele and blow things up so crazy fast you'll laugh. I two-shot most of the IQD mobs as I daily quest, critting at about a 40% clip on my nature spells. Since Lightning Bolt and Chainlightning casted back to back hit at the same time, plus lightning overload, I sometime double-double crit for 9k at once. Of course you have no aggro drop and when things proc I kind of bite my teeth hoping that I didn't pull aggro off the raid boss.
Oh and also Heroism/Bloodlust is ace.
On the downside you get ignored every patch and the class has serious CC issues and some basic things that every class has that it completely lacks. (A melee spec with no cc removal? a casting spec with no spell pushback resist?)
Overall, rogue is the hottest class right now. All the old counters to the class have been removed over time. Hel,l Rogues even kill Warriors these days.

Yes, Rogue has nasty combo that stuns u and then allows u to backstab your target. The silence affect with the bloodelves just makes it that much worse on other classes.
-
a couple of their talents give them the ability to mitigate like 99% damage for a time, its pretty fukin OP but whatever. Flavor of the Month. I can still kill half the rogues I face, even when my fireblast suddenly does no damage.
-
I went with a Mage, which kinda makes sense considering the Blood Elves' racial traits. I am really liking the starting area so far. I will transfer to Muradin once I get the cash on my CC!
