I have been racking my mind like crazy on trying to think what class I would like the best next.
But I cannot come up with any anwers. I enjoy to solo alot and like to kill 60 elites if I can but I also like to dps in raids and have had way to many casters lately so looking for a melee class.
What class in your opinion is awesome dps and can solo pretty well?
So far I have been thinking of a Fury DW Warrior, DW Dagger Shaman, Warlock.
If you don't want to ever do anything but stab stuff - roll a rogue ffs.
It's very unlikely blizzard will change their role to something other than stabbity stabbity bleed bleed stabbity.
Fury warrior is asking for 70 levels of leveling and a talk about "you're a tank son, it's time to stand in front of the dragon and get your face crushed, I hope you remembered to beat that drunk at level 12"
Shaman is asking for 70 levels of leveling and a talk involving "Heal me, I'm a tank with my beserker stance getting my face crushed and it's your fault."
Honestly the people who get fed up with their class and the game have mostly themselves to blame. It's not a secret what each class is currently pigeonholed as, and it's not unbelievable that if a class is pigeonholed now, it could be so again at 70.
First star to the right, and straight on till morning. in BSG 15
some classes are heavily gear dependent - fury warriors and paladins for example are pretty sad at DPS without top end gear. whereas mages and rogues produce excellent dps even when undergeared and scale well. pre 1.12 warlocks were great DPS and PVP monsters, but along with hunters hit DPS ceilings in naxx. Hunters still do. I don't know if the 1.12 patch improved the warlock DPS ceiling (and whether TBC will).
mage or rogue are really fun, and this is as a former priest and current warrior. a rogue never has to buff anyone or think about anything other than DPS. theres just a ton of rogues and its harder to get guilded/grouped. mages and warlocks are also really fun and up to naxx compete well for DPS, warlocks are a lot "harder" (more stuff to do, shards to worry about, etc) imo.
i assume your talking about for TBC, since at this point a new reroll will not be geared up in time to really hit naxx that hard. without info on how the instances are and how the new talents play out its hard to really tell. you can pretty much guarantee though there will be a million new blood elf paladins and rogues.
My problem is I like things about all the classes and certain things I do not like as much IE. Soul Shards and being put into a healing spec when I can dps.
Yeah and the ton of rogues I have thought of and it kinda sucks specially I probably won't do one cause my friend who is rerolling with me is going rogue for sure.
I am just trying to think of a class that can solo some 60 elites when I want to chill out and have a lil fun but who can be top end in the DPS charts cause yeah healing is good for the raid but it is way to stressful this time around.

So you've had way too many casters lately, but you would roll a warlock as a melee class?
Fury DW warrior is good raid DPS if you are well-geared. I imagine it's not too bad for them to solo stuff either, using cooldowns wisely.
Hunters can solo almost anything, and depending on the fight and their skill can be very good DPS (I know it's not melee, but still not a caster).
I have no comment on DW dagger shamans and Melee warlocks, because the former is not in the game yet, and I was not aware the latter existed.
You are basically asking for everything, with none of the downfalls. If you want huge DPS and to be able to solo 60 elites then anything but a caster or hunter is going to be a bitch to do. THere is no such thing as a melee warlock, it's not practical in any way, shape or form. I don't know where you got that idea, Soul Link warlock maybe? They absorb damage but they have zero melee skills and would do pitiful damange.
If you want good soloing, DPS, and melee I'd probably tell you to roll a shaman. But if you don't want to heal then go a hunter/warlock. You won't be melee at all but you'll do more DPS and be a better soloer. Can't have your cake and eat it too.

Then roll a Mage. I'm sure you've seen Faxmonkey's videos.

I addressed the whole melee warlock thing I just threw it in there cause they interest me. There is no even way for there to be a melee warlock. With warlocks I just have a serious issue with soul shards and how if you take a flight path your summon goes away and costing you a dang soul shard.
So with hunter end game dps is it top 10 in alot of fights? And what about ammo costs what do the run you? I would guess 15-20g not to mention repair costs.
one thing for sure - you're not soloing any elites as a warrior.
eh, it's not nearly as easy as a warlock or some other classes can do it, but I don't have too much trouble with most 60 elites. I used to be able to take most of the Grim Batol dragonkin pretty reliable 1 on 1

Are you serious? This has got to be THE single best thread this year. I wonder how you came to these forums really, cuz usually people tend to know the basics before they come here searching for advanced lore ;O

Wait, it says in your profile you're a 60 hunter...:unsure:
To answer your questions though, your DPS potential depends on the fight, as with any class. As far as ammo costs, no where near 15-20g. Even a full pack of thorium arrows will cost me around 7g (18 slots), and I don't go through a full quiver every run. Closer to half a quiver.
EDIT - Oh, and it pretty much evens out because I save money on repair bills ;)
