and you think there is not an abundance of warriors?

Stick with Shaman, plus you can heal yourself. Or roll a hunter (also a saturated market)

You cant step back and range attack, ranged weps are usually for pulling and dont provide a good bit of damage.

Fury does good damage with a two hander, DW is difficult until almost outlands due to all the missing, so if you like the looks of it and sometimes lose your temper, well fury two handed.

PVP effectively -- pretty much yes
excellent melee dmg - fury can almost get you up to that of a rogue, sometimes called rippers, rogues in plate.
Ranged - no, for a pull, but thats it

Honestly, I started and deleted a warrior at LEAST 5 different times, trying different names and races, and kept deleting them, couldnt get into them. Tried a human one, gnome one, dwarf one, Nelf one, and finally a dre (alliance abviously)

So, finally started a dre one and stuck with it, now I cant put him down! And they get stronger at higher levels. And even without the hit gear and all advise against it I have been DW fury all the way and LOVE it, good to have blues, if you can get runs through dungeons as you level, which I have and keep up with the gear, warriors are VERRRRY gear dependant particularly fury, so expect runs, alot of instances or spending time and money in the AH IF you want to keep on top of the damage. Hell even in my 20s I had gotten enchants on my weps and armour, and continue to do so, someting I rarely eve did with my other toons, including my main, til he hit 70 and started gearing up.

Remember, you get some unique things with the shammy at 40, so you may want to at least get him/her there, you can wear mail then too.

Well, it never hurts to try. I would suggest you to roll a warrior. I for one love the feeling rushing someone, and smashing a big 2h mace in their face. I also love their endurance due to plate armor and hp pool.

However, it takes some time to get to know a warrior's playstyle.

My very first toon was a pally, so let me say Im all about dps on EVERYTHING, lol, love tanking and do love the mad loot I can get from AOE farming at 70, and glad I have one at 70, but do love dps.

I would say thats a good strategy, at least see how the shammy is with the 40 talent, the new mail gear, I assume you are enhancement, and roll a warrior, like I said, after deleting 5 I am now hooked, I think race had a lot to do with it for me. But at least stick it out to mid 20s so you can get some levels under your belt and start picking up some killer talent, remember STAY UP ON THE GEAR particularly the weps!

FOr me Ill tank, but Ill never, well never is strong, but rarely heal, dont like it, not for me, some love it, and perhaps one day I will realize the challenges of healing and embrace it on another toon, but that day is not today.

My mage was the same, if I hadnt started playing with someone else he would have stayed at 25, once I got to higher levels, it just really pwns all for me, I dont mean others, but just the fun playing it. Hunter, eh, might finish one, their easy, lock I am close to 50 now so I will play him til 70...

Druid, I have to agree, never got into it, almost deleted it but decided not to as it may become fun later on like the others its just a matter of getting through that dying all the time and weak early level phase, but if you dont take onto much and play smart, most of the classes would be ok. Actually hate totems, I know they are great and groups love them, but in solo play I forget to put totems down, Im bad like that LOL, I know it doesnt take but a couple of seconds, but to remain in the range of them and such I prefer duration buffs and auras that stay with me, plus I felt like I was littering LOL

Or since you are trying different classes, roll one of each, play mostly with your main and a main alt, ie shammy and warrior, and off and on try the other classes, they level pretty quick to get a decent feel for them to 20 or so. Just be careful of altitus as you do want to focus on one or at the most two so you can raid or gear up in instances, heroics and such which takes alot of time when you hit 70.

So yeah, get the shammy to 40 and see, try the warrior nothing wrong with that, just like I said, at least get up there mid to late 20s even 30 or more 40 to see and then roll them both the rest of the way. or shelve one and try another


FOr you its melee, and I love melee too. I think having a shammy and warrior, you cant go too wrong there.

In low levels 'tanks' and 'warriors' aren't the same thing. There are too many 'warriors' out there ('warriors being the "LOLE DEE PEE EZZ IZ TEH OLNY PHUN TING 2 DOO" ones) and at the same time not nearly enough tanks.

i use rend becuz of the blood frenzy, and becuz if i havent executed and i still have a good amount of rage then it always helps
