I thought a tank list was linked in here, maybe I just saw it elsewhere but apparently Prot is 4th best tank with Prot Pally/Brewmaster being the lesser two

Rip Prot though, I loved tanking back in Cataclysm (haven't since then)

I'm leveling a shadow priest as well, though I won't level it past level 80 for now cause I'm working with a few people towards getting Herald of the Titans lol

Legion is good.

prot pala is so much fucking fun holy shit

[rebelrunner26]

I logged something like 52 days on my Prot Paladin...I quit after Cata, but WotLK was some serious fun. I think I only ever had one DPS dungeon queue roll actually out-DPS me rolling as tank in 80 heroics (a raid-geared frost mage who was all sorts of baddassery, wish I could remember his name). I have no idea what's popular these days, but I had a hell of a good time back then. Super easy to hold aggro and nuke 'em down fast.

Up to level 105 so far. The zones are pretty cool looking, but the leveling experience doesn't really interest me.

[Izzy]

Holy shit pvp is soooooooooo bad. People have 2 million hp and I ambush crit for 100k.

[Nullifidian]

Was it world pvp? I thought pvp in arenas and stuff was supposed to be balanced differently from the rest of the world.

[Izzy]

I think world pvp might make more sense. You get a huge buff to hp in battlegrounds and arenas which is what probably makes it lame.

[Nullifidian]

I know for world pvp it's really weird as prot paladin. At least, from what little world pvp I experienced. Light of the protector is supposed to heal me for 35% of my missing health, 20% more if I have consecration active, but in pvp battles it heals for like 150k even when I'm missing like a mil health lol. The heal is basically useless unlike in pve where I can use it to keep myself up for a long time. But I guess it's not bad since it's off global cooldown and can be cast whenever so it doesn't interrupt any rotation.

[Izzy]

It's possible that once people start getting better gear that damage will scale faster than hp and things will be fine. People also need these honor levels to get the special honor traits.

[Nullifidian]

Been doing some battlegrounds as prot pala and in BGs it's pretty fun. The heal is still abysmally low but damage output and damage reduction are much better than in world pvp. Flag carrying like a boss.

[darklordsarumon9]

You guys go ahead and protect Azeroth. I'm gonna just be fishing.

[darklordsarumon9]

And this is the closest I've come to a Nazgûl set

[Izzy]

With a bunch more gear I am starting to do an adequate amount of damage. They said gear doesn't matter, but it matters as much as ever.

[darklordsarumon9]

I feel so weak as arcane. Im 842 and while yes I can easily break 200k on mythic bosses it just feels so inadequate when compared to fire and other classes =[

[L.B.D.D]

can anybody point me to the right direction for a first time player who wants to reach level 20 in a relaxing manner?

i kind of want to try it out up to level 20 so i can get my hearthstone hero unlocked (yes, you can call me a loser for playing hearthstone)

what job should i pick, and should i just follow a main storyline if there even is one?

Arcane and Frost imo are weak and were hit hard/don't have a good scale until higher ilvl

Fire is the way to go though, really really good right now and they kind of fixed Combustion so no worries there.

Up to level 20 it's all pretty much personal choice. Take whatever race, class, spec you feel would fit you best. Do follow the story. It leads to many good items and quest chains for lots of xp.

Arcane requires a very demanding build that requires spamming Nethertempest to build quickening stacks, this is why a lot of people don't see very high comparative numbers when playing against something like a fire mage. It's a lot like shadow priest where as the fight goes on, you do more damage. Obviously this is a problem in mythic dungeons, but come raids once you hit 50-60 quickening stacks (+100%-120% haste) you'll see a lot more come out of the spec.

That being said, a lot of people are expecting fire nerfs within a week or two of raids being out, myself included. I would suggest if you intend on raiding to get each weapon to 13 points (pretty easy to hit) and then wait for nerfs.

If you don't intend to raid, I would suggest playing whichever you enjoy, especially since fire is only 10-15% better than arcane iirc.
