Hey guys, i wanna decide what class to play and stick with it in cata, im a melee in heart and i narrowed it down to Feral Druid and Warrior, i really like the Druid class in general and their lore but i hate the fact im always in forms and can't see my gear and weapons, i also like the fact if i want to i can go ranged dps with Druid but again hate their chicken style, from your experience Warriors are better melee dps or Feral Druid? in a long run whichone is more rewarding?

They both have their rewards. Just think, are you doing PVP or PVE? If PVP, you need a class that can balance with those you plan on playing it, if you do PVP, you need to decide what kind of role you wish to play, and do you want versatility for possible failsafes? IE: Healer goes down, druid can drop out and heal if absolutely necessary.

Well, do not limit yourself to just those two.

Lets take a look at all the melee classes:

1. Warrior: pretty straight forward, no mana to worry about, cool talents and stuff. Can do excellent dps, but from what Ive heard their tanking ability has been diminished a lot with patch 4.0

2. Paladin: like the druid, the paladin can fill three roles, and perform them incredibly well. I am biased; I have a paly tank and I LOVE playing her...theyre fun, they have a ton of cool abilities, and I constantly see damage-dealing paladins at the top of the dps charts. Theyre just ass kickers, plain and simple, and very interesting to play.

3. Rogue: stealth-based damage dealer. Cool abilities, but does only one thing very well.

4. Druid: can fill all three roles well, but has the added perk of being able to melee dps and range dps. To be honest, though, I hardly see any melee dps (cat form) druids at level 80...that is not to say they dont do good damage, but it seems like come 80 if a druid wants to dps, they go balance.

5. Death Knight: death knight is cool because they start at 55, and this gives you a good head start. With patch 4.0, death knights do TREMENDOUS damage...my death knight has a gear score of 3500 (not that great at all) and does 4500 dps on dummies, and 3200+ in dungeons. They also tank very well, and frankly the lore and playstyle has a unique feeling to it.

6. Shaman: in terms of melee, I feel they play somewhat similiar to paladins; they have shields (like auras), buffs, and weapon enchants. Unfortunately theyre more fragile than the plate wearers and the druids, and are strictly limited to dps.

Personally I favor the paladin. There is something awesome about being able to outtank most other classes in the game easily, and then switch your spec and do insane damage or heal a dungeon in full plate.

Play what you like because each class will have its pros and cons. If you get too picky, you'll end up with 10 alts and no progress. :P

please explain?

he means that you have to carry a lot of gear with druid , u can have dual spec , thats = 2 gears , but then u can have different combinations like haste and sp gears + x and then you prolly will have pvp gears with thats + 2 more atleast , so in overall you will have to carry at least 4+ sets of gear and that takes up a lot of space , also its confusing as hell :D i often find myself healing with some feral gear on me ...

Are you aware there's a feature in the interface to allow you to memorize sets of equipment?

Me, I'd take the werebear for tanking any day of the week, but if you don't like fighting in animal forms, the choice is pretty obvious, warrior.That's the great thing about this game that haters will never admit, there's so many choices there for you to play the game that there's no friggin way you can't find something you don't totally enjoy.Unless you just plain can't adapt to the game, then you have my pity. ;)

I liked WoW pre BC because everything was pretty balanced , but then things started going downwards . Rogues are useless ; Paladins are OP .

Still need bag space for all that gear.
