First Time Nostalrius - Picking a class

by NostalgicEnigma » Sun Nov 29, 2015 12:07 am

So I have an odd question:

What class (if any, unless I have to play multiple classes simultaneously or something) can I play that is good at soloing dungeons? Most of my WoW playtime was during the Wrath/early Cata era, so my understanding of the classes is different from what is in Vanilla. I don't really have any interest in raiding (not enough time as it is) so I don't really care if the class sucks for raiding, and I can always just roll a different class for raiding later on.

A quick response would be appreciated.

I don't think you're going to be soloing any dungeon as any class at your current level.

With certain classes you can farm trash mobs for easy gold or run lower level dungeons easier... but I don't think there's a class that can clear the bosses from Scholo/Stratholme/UBRS/LBRS on their own. And if they could it wouldn't be in pre-raid gear.

Well I mean once I actually start playing. I just want to know before I do anything so I can prepare ahead of time.

Hunter is the best for soloing dungeons, hands down.

I mean that you're not going to solo dungeons that are at your level. So once you're 42 you're not going to solo Zul Farrak, or once you're 60 you're not going to solo LBRS, etc.

No class is soloing (i.e. killing all bosses) Lower Blackrock Spire.

Maraudon, Dire Maul East, and Dire Maul North are the highest level dungeons where the end boss is soloable and only with certain classes.

OP if you want to solo dungeons, this expansion may not be for you, even the ones I mentioned require a lot of practice and a lot of corpse runs to get right.

Okay, so which class is best for soloing lower level dungeons UP until Maraudon/Dire Maul like you said.?
