My vote made it one of each across the board, Heh.

I will, as most people probably, continue playing my precious main. I like being a priest.

Darnodus Aug 17th 2008 8:08AM

I'll continue to stick to my Paladin like I have the past 4 years.
Just the name of the class is enough for me to stick with it.

I am personally leaning towards my druid as some of the healing talents look uber. I have played and raided with my mage since day one and love him dearly. I am very keen to see how the mage class finally rolls out in Wrath .
If the devs keep all the promises of great damage then my mage will again be my number one to level. I will probably look at the Death Knight a after a few months once the severs aren't awash with them anymore.

Multiple choice? My 3 mains: Druid, warlock, mage. I don't see that changing. Definitely trying out a DK. Will likely bring my young hunter up as well, with all of the nice new changes. My warrior and rogue may not survive, even though they were first to Outland.

Will probably make my druid main a healer alt, my warrior alt a tanking main, and probably roll a DK on the other faction.

Zarkharaan Aug 17th 2008 8:22AM

The same old. DK alt later on when Zark is 80.

Carry on with my Paladin, staying Ret as i have since i started almost 3 year ago. Then level my Shaman, dunno what spec possibly Elemental.

Then if i have time start a DK on a new server on Horde

Jamie Aug 17th 2008 9:22AM

Will be taking my Priest onward.

Would like to try Tanking though, but not as a DK... what can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment.

Started the warrior, will continue the warrior.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for the old school and my tank has always gotten me invites.

Sure I think I'd check out a DK at some point, but I'm sure most ppl will due to the novelty of it. If you asked if I'd check out a druid and lvl it I'd rather watch grass grow but DK's are new...so a tonne of people will level one till at least 65...but then head back to their main in Northrend.

I think from a PvE perspective, It looks like (according to beta) most DK's are not tanking, and those that do, people possibly do not have the confidence of throwing them invites just yet.

Paladin. Once a paladin, always a paladin. I wouldn't swap mains even if the new class started in full legendary at level 70, with spells that dealt a million damage. I'd still stick with my paladin. The difference, is now we're finally getting some love.

Cyanea Aug 17th 2008 9:04AM

As far as old characters...hunter, warlock, and druid (maybe...if I ever get around to getting that one to seventy).

As far as new characters, a Paladin. I started one, got her up to level 10 and the next day, all those big Paladin changes were released. I decided to hold off on levelling her so I wouldn't have to learn how to play the class twice.

I'll probably create a Death Knight just to see the lore of their starting area (I'm a lore nerd), but as a class they really don't interest me.

Kanuris Aug 17th 2008 9:06AM

I JUST WANT TO QUIT!

If they make Paladins anymore awesome then i'll be sucked back in!

Ancalimon Aug 17th 2008 9:15AM

i would have to say im goin to have to stick to my main. i love playing hunters as i like to solo more than group, to avoid most of the drama that can come from a pug. but ill prob make a DK as well. im guessing (and id put money on it) that the DK's are going to be nerfed quite a bit for live as they are WAY to OP right now, but i still like the play style with them, and am having a ton of fun with DK's so far

elmolech Aug 17th 2008 5:55PM

Sticking with my shammy as a main... Warlock as my alt, although mainly he gets used as a disenchanter atm :0)

Have a priest in reserve though...

Naturally i'll try out a death knight too, if only to have a toon with inscription :) (plus the death chicken mount looks amusing)

Dightkuz Aug 17th 2008 9:23AM

I will level up my 3 favourite classes and mains; Druid, Mage and Paladin. And then probably eventually also my Shaman.
I am not interested in the DK class by what I've seen so I will probably not spend much time on it. Maybe level it up to 60 and then make it my new bankchar? :p
