Least played class?

by Wolfrig » Thu Jun 04, 2015 5:55 pm

Hello all.

I am new to this server, but not to vanilla. I would just like to know which class (or what classes) are the least played on this server on both alliance and horde. I would like to know which class could make it easier for me to find a raid spot later in the game.

Thank you all!

Thank you for your quick reply. Druids were underplayed on feenix as well, but do you have any idea why warlocks are so underpopulated? Aren't they supposed to be good in pvp and top dmg charts in PvE?

I thought Rogues and Warriors topped DPS charts?

If you only want a raid spot roll a Dwarf Priest, otherwise play what you like and don't worry about what is needed as more than likely you will always find a guild looking for certain classes (except rogue, fuck that class).

More than likely it is because Warlocks are stuck with shadowbolt spam because of the debuff limit and that is a turn off for many players.

Rogues, Warriors, Mages, and Warlocks tend to be around the same level throughout vanilla. They might fluctuate a bit depending on the tier, but otherwise they are the same. The exception might be warriors who become really overpowered with Naxxaramas level gear.

I've collected the same data seen above. Druids and Warlocks are the lowest.

Druids, really don't know why they're so underplayed, when they used to be high in Retail. Maybe it's something to do with the jack of all, master of none approach?
Bear isn't a raid tank. -> roll warr.
Cat is a watered down rogue. -> roll rogue.
Resto is a great healer, but because they don't have a standard res, they're going to have popularity issues in 5 mans. -> roll priest.
Druid would work well for undecided people, but most people on this server tend to be MMO veterans, and not the undecided type.

As for Warlocks, warlocks are excellent dps, excellent PvP, hella fun to play. They have the best raid utility in the game, I always LOVE having a lock in group, if just for the summons and soulstones.
It was always the least popular class, until Blizz made it so easy in Pandaland that an educated cat could outdps you on a destro. My first and favorite class, don't know why it was so unpopular. Perhaps the dark role doesn't appeal to some? Warlock isn't a very traditional class, fairly original to WoW. It's kinda like a hybrid between hunter and mage, so people tend to go either way, but not the middle, which is a shame. Someone else would have to explain a Warlocks lack of appeal.

Druids are atrocious to level up, that's probably why...
