With these three classes, you can spoil it for others in WoW Classic even before you are in a group or guild.
A few days ago, we revealed in an article which classes allow you to easily find companions and friends in World of Warcraft Classic. But not everyone wants that. If you prefer to be a lone wolf and want to have a hard time making friendships due to the chosen classes, then you should continue reading.
We show you the three classes in WoW: Classic that annoy other players from the moment they see you.
The Survival Hunter
Ah, hunters in classic World of Warcraft are a special case. They have not only had the reputation of being completely impatient for ages and tend to pull enemies before the rest of the group is ready, but also bring a lot of other vices with them.
The survival spec hunter is a particular oddball because he is theoretically a melee fighter. Almost all of his talent points improve his melee abilities, which still deal no damage.
Hunters had the reputation in Classic of wanting to hoard pretty much every weapon and piece of equipment for themselves. No matter if it’s cloth, leather, or mail, whether it’s a two-handed sword, staff, bow, or axe. Everything belongs to the hunter. And why? Because he can wear it.
To justify this, hunters also have the slightly crazy habit of collecting 27 different armor sets, which are, of course, designed to perfectly fit all available loot from a dungeon.
- A strong two-handed axe with strength? Wonderful for survival spec
- A cloth pair of pants with intellect? Perfect for the “pet heal equipment”
- A leather pair of pants with dodge? Optimal for the rabbit-catching RP outfit
And then there is of course the loyal companion of the hunter, the pet. For the fact that a hunter always has a helpful buddy by his side while leveling, there have to be a few downsides – and they are numerous.
Pets from hunters are a bit like a surprise bag. They are known to rush in and pull a mob group that you actually wanted to avoid.
If they are not busy stealing aggro from the group’s tank with active “growling,” preventing him from generating rage, they are draining the mana of the conscientious healer who just wants to keep everyone alive.
Additionally, they also tend to be offended if they do not get food – they then deal less damage and might even run away in doubt. This leaves the distraught hunter not only crying in Discord but also drastically reduces his damage.
In summary, hunters and their pets are a “very special” duo that can surely manage together – somewhere in a remote forest, far away from any dungeon entrance.
By the way, WoW Classic will not have German realms – will you play anyway?
The Subtlety Rogue
Like the mage, the rogue in World of Warcraft is quite a glass cannon, but this is especially true for the subtlety rogue. He is capable of dealing gigantic damage numbers – at least for about two seconds. Because then he is no longer in stealth and his energy is depleted.
The really “big guns” can only be used from stealth, before his damage drops to the level of a level 1 Magikarp.
This is certainly very nice in PvP because you can send regenerating mages and priests to the afterlife with just one blow, but it has little usefulness in other areas of the game. Who wants a damage dealer who can only hit hard once and then has to rely on getting back into stealth?
As if that wasn’t enough absurdity, the rogue even has a control effect that is unreliable. From stealth, he can give enemies a headbutt to incapacitate them for a while. The catch: headbutt breaks the rogue’s stealth – even if he should miss. You can skill headbutt to maintain stealth, but even then, there’s a risk of 10%. With more than 30-40 groups per dungeon, this can lead to complete chaos 3-4 times.
Additionally, there is the problem that rogues are generally equated with “thieves”. And who wants to trust such a scoundrel when it comes to good loot and safely clearing dungeons?
If you think: “Oh, nonsense. My friends trust me, I am a rogue with a good reputation” – you should put it to the test. Tell your “friends” to just send you lockboxes by mail, and you will send them back opened. We bet that most will find that too unsafe and will put each lockbox into the trade window in the “do not trade” area one by one?
P.S.: If someone does send you lockboxes, then open them without “auto-looting” and check if there are two items or even another lockbox inside. You can then safely swipe that.
The Shadow Priest
Whoever plays a shadow priest in current World of Warcraft is quite popular. The damage is pretty solid, the abilities interesting, and you are a welcome member in a group.
Anyone who thinks that this will be the case in Classic is sorely mistaken. In Classic, players had exactly one task, and that was to heal. Not infrequently, “healer” was even used as a synonym for priest. Groups were not looking for a healer but for a priest. No wonder, the most other classes could not match the constant healing output that a holy priest could provide.
Because holy priests shine in this role, priests are expected to fill exactly that role. Shadow priests do not.
Every time a player discovers that a shadow priest has snuck into their group, a scene from Star Wars: Episode 3 runs through their mind. “You were the chosen one!” is probably the most fitting line that can come to mind.
One exception here is only PvP. There, shadow priests are feared as their mind flay was regarded as “face-melting” and caused traumas among players.
The end result is that not only your own teammates hate you, but also the enemies of the opposing faction. Well done.
What class and specialization will you play in World of Warcraft: Classic? Will you take on a useful role or choose a rather “undesired” specialization?
