Which class will you play in WoW Classic?

With the beta of World of Warcraft Classic, we want to know which class you want to play.

The beta of World of Warcraft Classic has started, and interest in the “Vanilla version” of the game is greater than ever before. We want to take this moment to learn a bit more about you and find out which classes are particularly popular among you and which playstyle you are looking forward to.

The classes in “Classic” differ drastically from what is offered in the current World of Warcraft. This is not necessarily “better or worse,” but in any case, different. A few fundamental differences are as follows:

Self-healing was a foreign concept: Unlike the current version of World of Warcraft, most classes did not have a solid form of self-healing (“Sustain” or “Self Heal”) – apart from the healer classes. But when a mage’s health points dropped, only a healing potion or first aid would help. This made it essential for most classes to take a regeneration break after each fight.

Special classes per faction: Another notable feature of Classic was that not all classes were available for both factions. While Horde and Alliance shared 7 of the playable classes, there was one class that was only available to its specific faction.

Horde players could become shamans
Alliance players could become paladins

Specialization was set in stone: Those who chose a specialization in Classic often stayed with it for several days, weeks, or months. The reason for this is that respecialization in Classic cost gold, and the costs continued to rise. Switching specializations “on a whim” was only possible for the wealthier players. You thought twice about whether you wanted to be a “Fire Mage” or a “Frost Mage.”

But now let’s talk about you! Which of the original 9 classes of World of Warcraft will be your main character in Classic? Which of these classes will you play?

The survey has now been closed and archived. You can find the results of the class survey for WoW Classic here.

If you have a little time left, please also share in the comments which class you primarily want to play – and above all, why. Is it the same class as in the current WoW?
