As someone who enjoys the playstyle of both combat and subtlety rogue: i disagree. There is no skill in a single button one-shoting someone. Tune down some of the damage in the low levels (at least against other players), and the level of skill required to do well is going to increase.
If me (sub rogue) and a single kitty can at level 37 can completely shut down 6 people attacking the Blacksmith in AB at the same time: is amazing. To do this consistently? Is wrong.
Said rogue (Expyra - Ghostlands) is now in the 60s somewhere, and combat. Was basically my new main at the time I stopped playing.
Quote:At 85 it's fairly balanced at the moment. Also, I usually play rated battlegrounds and arena. That way you get to choose who you play with, which pretty much ensures cooperation.
At 85, one word: frost mage.
Never tried rated battlegrounds, but honestly: it shouldn't take until max level to have a fun and balanced game.
Quote:What class do you heal with?
Main: Level 84 (is she 85 now? 0.o i really don't know) Restoration Shaymun (Sikuri - Blackwater Raiders). Favorite.
Paladin healers: Level 70-something holy paladin that i used to play as ret until cata (Weilordusala - Blackwater Raiders). Level high 40's or low fifties holy paladin that also used to be ret (Faolin - The Venture Co.)
Another Shaymun healer: Really like female dwarves, easy for me to get into the personalities of my characters and I just like the look (Grigorovna - The Venture Co.)
Priest: One of the biggest flaws with WoW in my opinion is leveling to 15... i could never stand to get a priest to 15 for the longest time, and when I did I just was underwhelmed by her... then i server and faction changed her, and can somewhat enjoy her (Asakia - Ysondre, i think).
Druid: Druid healing at low levels was horribly hard at the start of cata, because every heal took a ton of mana and they just couldnt keep up with the ease of healing other classes had (Salavai? Worgen druid on The Venture Co). Humorously, i can't stand playing a night elf druid: they all look exactly alike, hooray!!!!
I have 6 characters that I used to heal on. I'm glad cata fixed pally healing and brought in a druid race that I could get behind the character in (She morphs into a beast during battle to further facilitate her connection with nature).
I don't only heal, and have a number of dps characters, and one tank... but i played these much less often than my healing characters.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
