Man, I know that feeling. Especially when I’m playing my Rogue or Mage, am near death, and start frantically searching my UI for my missing heal button.

Well remember that it doesn’t really matter about what gear your prospective main character has now – there’s nothing like an expansion to wipe the slate clean. And you’re going to have to complete 5 levels either way you look at it. And if you love tanking I think you’d be crazy to pick anything other than a class that can tank.

I’m undecided at this point. Like Vid I switched mains at the start and in the middle of this expansion with the idea of not trying to gear up another tank… which I failed at ending up switch from warrior to paladin tanking.
I have the following running through my mind:
1. I really don’t have the time to gear up a hybrid in both specs as I’ve done now which points me towards my hunter
2. Gearing up a tank as the only spec can be a long and painful process – I found it a lot easier the second time round having got a decent set of gear while healing. With LFD and emblems (or whatever they’re going to be called) it possibly won’t be as bad.
3. I am impatient when it comes to waiting for LFD groups to pop…
4. I really love tanking…
5. I’ve done warrior and paladin now – time for something new? I’ve been enjoying my DK
6. It might be better to have a dps offspec rather than a heals since I can be disrupted when I play… and I fail at melee dps – so bear/boomkin for me?
7. The new prot warrior tree looks really interesting and like a new challenge
8. I uber excited about leveling… whats this end-game thing again?

So… I really haven’t decided and I’m not sure I will before cataclysm comes and I start leveling again.

While I enjoy playing my alts, I still take a lot of joy in playing my Warlock. Sure, she doesn’t get instant queues in LFD, the depth of the class keeps me coming back. I leveled my DK to 80, and now he’s a bank alt.

I <3 my warlock, what can I say?

[...] at some point – just hopefully not any time soon! I remember Cass writing about how her auditions were over. She knew who her main was going to be! I won’t spoil the ending, it’s worth the read. [...]

I’m planning on sticking to my resto shaman but we’re tentatively looking for a new guild and if I really need to swap to my druid to fit with a new team then I would be willing to consider it. I’m thinking it’s gonna be rough enough finding a family friendly guild that tackles heroic modes that will take a husband and wife team without absolutely refusing to be flexible about which healer I will play. The shaman has more achievement points but I’m not OCD about those. They both have roughly the same amount of toys like the Titanium Seal of Dalaran. I enjoy both offspecs, both sets of professions, ect.

Anyone but the druid or the shaman though? No way in heck While I love the paladin and the mage they will stay much-enjoyed alts.

My characters weren’t even aware there was an audition.

While I do have a whole legion of alts, I only have two characters at level 80 – an Alliance druid and a Horde druid. Whenever I try playing one of my alts, I eventually run into some situation which makes me think, “man, I wish I was one of the druids.”

So. DRUIDS 4EVAR?

I hadn’t even thought about mounts! But yes, I’ve got a Spectral Tiger on my priest… I’ll likely never get one again. Some of it too is old and not easily obtainable gear. I am a huge collector of old tier sets — which brings me to something else I like. I think there are very few priest sets I absolutely dislike (D2, Oracle).

PRIEST FOREVER!

I strongly consider/considered playing a Holy Paladin, because my guild badly needs one and has had open recruitment for one for damn near 8 months or so. But in my heart, I will always be a priest. For a lot of the reasons you listed.

I take pleasure in being able to go shadow or discipline (or holy) and solo things. Sure, doing some elites or what not would be easier on a tank or a paladin (of which I’ve got level 80s of all 4 tanking classes)… but it’s not as satisfying or challenging.

The priest is just too special to me… Sort of started out as a bastard child when I was still a mage main back in Molten Core. At first I was just leveling priest because my small homely guild had no super-consistent or active priests and we relied heavily on Resto Druids and Holy Paladins to heal our 5-mans or raids or what not (and if you played back then, you know both how bad Resto Druids and Holy Paladins were and by virtue of class-design, how amazing our main Resto Druid was to pull off raids without a Priest).

It’s funny, I level’d most of the way as Shadow, but the thing that really got me healing was PVP. I loved the feel of being the “quarterback” with my soldiers protecting me while I heal them up and quarterback the field.

Fast forward 5 years… and it’s just not happening. I’ve got Val’anyr, Field Marshal title and working on the Insane. I’ve got three viable specs for PVE. Two viable arena-pvp specs. Three viable general pvp specs. And lots of achievements.

I think Grief Grip is stupid, but there’s almost nothing that will cause me to change from Priest.
