If I make a goblin (maybe as an alt to play on my own) I'm considering shaman. Or just classic warrior.

leveling a new race in December is a ****ty idea.

A mix between Strategy and Action/Adventure.
It's a nice mix, too.

I still think Jack Black is one of the coolest people ever born.

Brutal Legend is the best game ever!!! Best soundtrack, best gameplay.

Although it is ****ing hard, I never got around to beating it..

It was hard at first, but then I got used to it.
I'm playing on Brutal difficulty and haven't really died much in the later portion of the game.

Well theres a few reasons why.

1. The starting zones are going to be flooded with newb trash hogging mods and resources who'll level them to 15-20 and thats it.

2. Bugs will be worked out. Right now theres going to be a lot of change going on. Wait till its far more stable.

3. At the beginning of Wrath, I decided to change from my then main (lock) to another toon, none of which were close to level cap. Because of that, I got to 80 when my guild was hitting Ulduar. Suffice it to say, no one was interested in Naxx.

4. When BC came out I would be in groups where I was the only non-BE. In Wrath I was usually grouped with two or 3 DK's. New is always disgustingly fashionable. Give it a month before you start, don't make them your main until your capped, or pay for a race change. Theres just no real reason, especially early, to go playing a race that offers little more than optics to the same old class.

Whats your faction and main?

I started playing my goblin war at 3:01am EST. I had no problems whatsoever with people getting in the way. much of it is instanced and there are quick respawns.

I haven't run into any discernable bugs not related to my mods.

meh, it's kinda just how it goes.

you should just pick whichever race you want.

This is my first time playing, so I don't really have a faction or a main. I'd say I prefer Horde in general, but I think I'm going alliance this time to be able to play with my friends. I don't really have a strong preference either way. The goblin just looks so coool.

I'm thinking of going just a standard sort of weapons based class the first time around. Maybe a human paladin... is there anything you'd recommend?

TheBig3 · 12-10-2010, 08:08 PM

That depends on what you like doing in these sorts of games. The life of a DPSer is occasionally boring (waiting for queue times) but you're not going to be responsible for other people if you do.

As a paladin you're likely wanting to play Retribution, but other folks are almost always going to want you to heal. As a new player, you don't want your main to be forced to heal. Tanks are highly responsible too which paladins can also do.

As I said, a Pure DPS class can wait in longer queues but you won't be forced to do anything but attack. The 4 pures are: Hunters, Rogues, Warlocks, Mage's.

If you're looking for a straight up weapons class, try rogue.

If you're on your own (I see you are), then I'd recommend hunter. They're great at soloing, a lot of fun to play and can do okay end game dps when played right. Worgens can also be hunters and have a nice +crit racial ability if you think that matters.

When you get feats, go beast master as this spec is best for soloing. Then, when you hit level 30, get a dual spec into marksmanship or survival to do more damage in groups. I'd suggest survival!
