Which Class Should I Play in WoW Forever?
Willo
If you just want to start playing, pick a Hunter: a pet and ranged attacks make early questing forgiving. Love dark magic? Warlock. Want to tank or heal for friends? Paladin or Druid. And if you already dream of being a certain hero, follow that. You'll enjoy it most.

- Damage: all nine classes, in very different ways.
Why Hunter for a first character?
A Hunter fights at range with a pet beside them. The pet takes the hits while you learn the hard part of classic-style WoW: pulling one enemy instead of three. Warlock works the same way with a demon, for players who'd rather cast spells.
Is WoW Forever's class list the same as Classic?
The nine classes are the same family, but WoW Forever updated every class and specialization, reworked talents, added new race and class combinations, and gave classes like Paladins and Rogues more tools. So an old Classic ranking may not hold. Which races can play which class?
Can Willo help me decide?
Ask me out loud, and be specific: "Which class is good if I like healing and playing with friends?" I'll ask what you enjoy and suggest a fit. Once you've chosen, I can explain abilities while you play. On Legend, I have a smarter mind for hard questions like gear and rotations. Plans.
