I have a lot of alts. They aren't all high-level, but over a number of servers, I have at least two of most classes, three warlocks, three priests, and a veritable army of death knights (come on, who didn't go on a massive DK creation spree the minute we were able?), many of which I've actually played for 10 or more levels. I even dragged my rogue -- one of the toughest classes for me to play -- up to level 80 because I was duoing with my girlfriend's paladin. There's one class, however, that I just can't stand playing: the warrior.
I made my first warrior, a human, because I was impressed by warrior tanks and wanted to see what the class was all about. I'm generally better with casters than melee to begin with, but I can handle my druid's feral spec reasonably well, so I figured what the heck. After five levels, I stripped off the warrior's armor, vendored his sword, put him in a tuxedo and made him my bank alt. I know, I know, it was only five levels, but I just couldn't handle it. Warriors and I do not click.
In Cataclysm, the class revamps made me wonder if I should try a warrior again. I deleted my bank alt, remade him as a worgen death knight, and rolled an adorable little goblin warrior in hopes that the starting zone would get me into the class. I have yet to log into that character. I just can't do it.
Is there a class or spec that you just can't handle playing? What is it about the class that gets to you? Have you tried it just once, or many times?

Anything that isn't a Warrior or Shaman.
I've given them all multiple attempts, I've tried.. But I just can't bring myself to level them.
Classes that I dislike the most and refuse to touch again: Deathknight & Paladin. I really do love the Warrior class though and was able to level up another post shattering.

Yeah,
I can't play Hunters or Warriors! Although, I find the pet dynamic for hunters to be quite interesting, I can't get past the Hunter's talent tree, I find the specs to be very boring and uninspiring. Warriors are just boring. I enjoy playing the more mystical classes. That said, I think the talent trees for rogues and dk's definitely makes those classes more fascinating to play.

but my favorite classes to play are druids - balance (feral is boring). Shadow priests, and locks.

Rogue (although I have one almost 80) because Im just not very good at it. She's never run a dungeon because Im too embarrassed to display my lack of skill to others lol.
Hunter: I love the idea and I have a 77 hunter but..same as above really. Not a good hunter so she tends to farm for me.
At least I am honest with myself :)

i dunno if it's just the fact that my first toon was and still is a hunter but i tried playing a warrior on multiple occasions and i just cannot get into it, including the most recent changes to the warrior class 4.0.3 it's just not for me. I also have a hard time with the priest class but for different reasons, most cause of the toilet tissue armor but thats a different thing entirely.

I dislike casters in general. I like things to happen when I push a button, not 2 seconds later. Mages can be fun because they have a mix of instant and casted spells, and they can do some cool stuff. But priests and warlocks I absolutely cannot stand.
