Help me choose a class.

[dprundle]

I've played a lot of WOW and want a class similar to a fury warrior (warrior that does tons of damage) or a hunter (pet can tank).. etc..

What should I choose here since some classes are still bugged?

[dirtymeat80]

besides the obvious Warrior class?

[dprundle]

No, warrior is an option. Just wondering if they can do tons of damage or are they nerfed compared to WOW?

Comparing this game to another likely won't yield good results. As far as I can tell, there is no tank class that can do real melee damage, and there is no damage class that can decently tank. There are a few pets that help out, but trying to do both doesn't seem practical.

The warrior is the tank class that does the most melee damage. That doesn't mean it's "better" than the other tank class, just that it does more melee damage.

Ok... how is the rogue class? Massive damage?

Er, well, we're one of the DPS classes, I'll say that much. We do good damage, and have the advantage of being cooler than the other classes, but currently, we really have to struggle to keep up with the DPS of rangers and especially bards. I have not grouped with enough monks in retail to have a comment on how we compare to them.

Thanks Nil. Sounds like I'll be rolling a Ranger - sounds fun. Thanks mate.

You've had damage trouble? I can't see how, really... I mean, I don't know exactly how much damage other classes do, but with all of the special attacks we get, I usually out-damage everyone else that I play with. What level are you, and what weps do you use?

I do just fine damage, but it's not on par with rangers and especially bards (of equal skill). We're not the massive damage class thus far in this game. That said, it's been a long time since rogues have gotten looked it, the situation will change, as patches come and go.
