This is entry #16 in the 30 days of WarCraft series of articles.
Hmmm… Apart from hunter, I’ve only taken two other classes to max level — Druid and Death Knight.
I consider myself a decent Druid, especially as far as resto goes. Me on the Death Knight… eh… I’m extremely average at best.
Beyond hunter, druid, DK and a bit of rogue… my experience with other classes is pretty limited, but from what I’ve seen, the class I’m worst at is…
Paladin.
I have a 19 Paladin that I completely suck at. I’ve wrecked the 10-19 bracket on hunter, warrior and rogue, but Paladin did not come naturally for me. Of course, I haven’t played him in a few years, but back then I just couldn’t jive with the class.
Of the classes I’ve played, here is how I’d rank myself from best to worst:
- Hunter
- Druid
- Rogue
- Death Knight
- Warrior
- Warlock
- Paladin
What about you guys..? Which class do you feel the least skilled with, or have the hardest time wrapping your head around?
I currently only have hunters, a paladin and a warrior, but I find tanking to be somewhat natural for me–if not for the fact that I had to learn how to mitigate threat as a hunter the hard way. *_*
Although, when the time comes to kite a boss as a tank, I find my hunter skills—quite useful. XD
I’ve always enjoyed playing healing classes, but to be honest, I usually have to make good use of macros and such in order be a decent player. I totally suck at playing rogues or any sort of “stealthy” class…
1. Hunter
2. Priest
3. Rogue
4. Warlock
5. Death Knight
6. Warrior
I know a lot of people say warrior is button mash but idk why I can’t seem to do well with it!
I am fairly terrible at most non-hunter classes I’ve tried, but of that subset I would have to say I am the worst at playing a rogue. I have a lvl 20-something rogue that I’ve mainly leveled through holidays; I don’t even know why I still have the toon, other than that I don’t like deleting characters. I just can’t seem to get the hang of the combo points, and fighting at close quarters always makes me uncomfortable (“Where’s disengage?! Where’s disengage?!”) plus I despise having to slowly creep towards the mobs. At least with other melee classes I can run up to them and smash them in the face! I’m sure I’d be equally bad at playing as a feral druid, but I’m a wimp and have always played my lvl 50-something druid as boomkin (yay ranged DPS!). Of course, I haven’t played either since Cataclysm hit and changed everything…I have no idea what that sun/moon thing is on my druid, and my significant other, who plays a rogue, informs me that Assassination rogues now run faster in stealth than everyone else runs normally, at least once you get to a certain talent. I don’t care…I’ll keep leveling my rogue via holiday quests, thanks. Or, you know, ignoring the toon altogether in favor of huntering.
So:
1. Hunter
2. Mage
3. Druid/Warrior/Paladin/DK/Priest (all equally incompetent and confused and not played to their full potential or max level, but at least /played.)
99. Rogue
Everything else: probably would end up as 3s if I had ever actually played them.
I’ve only fully leveled Hunter, Paladin and Priest. The Priest I deleted back in Burning Crusade because I got sick of healing and didn’t like S. Priest play style for dpsing. I’m almost as good on my Retribution Paladin as I am on my Hunter. I just prefer playing my Hunter. I have tried leveling all the other classes except a Mage and Druid. I usually made it to around 20th level or so and got bored. If I was to pick one single class I really sucked at, I would say…….
Rogue
my list would have to be:
1. hunter
2. warlock
3. druid
4. rogue
The rest i am really bad at. i have tried all of the classes other than these 4 no other class seem to click. Maybe its just me but they seem to be button mashers or maybe its because I dont understand how to play them.
I’m bad at Rogue. I have played hunter, warrior, priest, DK and rogue to max lvl. I have a 73 priest and 40 warlock, as well. I just can’t seem to make a rogue click. I like my rogue enough. I gear him up with whatever quest or rep loot I can, but it just doesn’t seem like his dps is up to snuff. That’s fine with me, though, as I don’t do much with my alts besides quest and he’s certainly able to take down quest mobs easy enough.
Rogue, Rogue and Rogue, those are the three I am worst at.
The waiting on energy thing is what gets me. I never feel a flow going. While I have practiced with it a lot in the past months from time to time and gotten to the point where I can do somewhat not quite horrible with it I have to pay such close attention to energy that it loses any possible fun it could have for me.
Make energy more like focus where there was a shot (stab?) that helped regen energy and I could really dig playing a rogue. Otherwise, hearing “you need more energy” every three seconds makes me want to kill someone.
DKs r awesome man , i don’t know what u guys r talking about.
My first alt was bear tank. Single target thread was easy but holding multi-traget /trash aggro was a plain at least at low levels. I could only tolerate it upto lvl 65 and turned the toon into a resto. Druids are so good at healing.
But I still wanted a tank , i hated waiting 30 mins for a dungeon queue. DK are so good as tanks, they have so much AoE aggro with Death and Decay, pestilence , blood boil and have decent dps too. And Frost DKs are so fun in PvP.
Class im aweful at is bear tank
Strange ….but of the classes that I have tried my list pretty much matches yours exactly. I just could not get to like or be any way decent at playing a Pally. Right now I only have hunters and a druid and a a wee gnome warrior that i use as a bank alt.
For me it is DKs. I pretty much button mash when I play one which is not that often. I am not a huge fan of melee in general, I prefer to stand back and nuke stuff.
