- Today we're helping you narrow down your options, and pick a main just in time for The War Within. Out of the many classes and specializations, it can be daunting to decide on what you're going to stick with as we move into the next chapter of WoW. Luckily we've got a simple and easy way to figure it out.

It’s simple, you research what their tier raid set or mogs will look like that season and pick whatever looks the coolest.
@Amplifymagic To be fair I did mention aesthetic. I think it goes without saying your character always has to look bad ass ... lol.
The priest set looks the best but I still don’t want to main a priest.
@@jennifurx6176 roll a cloth class that can mimic a priest look. Raid recolours, offset pieces etc.
@@Amplifymagic I have warlock mage and priest, just don’t want to main a priest
@@jennifurx6176 ok just break it down to the archetype you want to play the most.
Order/Good = Priest
Chaotic/Evil = Warlock
Balance/Neutral = Mage
One of the best main-picking videos I’ve seen before. Awesome job
Thanks @Dknefb . Really appreciate it!
It's simple, I will play everything.
@derpataur1162 That makes it easy .... heh.
Very good video man, helped me a lot as a new player!
I'am really enjoying Fury Warrior, but it''s very demanding sometimes, might try other specs that have less APM to chill a bit.
Glad it helped @MesquitaMine. Yeah Fury Warr and Outlaw Rogue get me. I was a coder for 15 years and then wrote proposals for almost 15 years so a lot of typing over 3 decades. So high APM gets to me after a few hours of playing. But I love both those specs.
Great content, thanks! Has helped me narrow down my warband selection.
@jonathanjones270 Very welcome! Thanks for the comment.
Great introduction to character selection. Even though I have been playing for 20 yrs or so I learned a few things lol. My choice, in my older age I love lvling Tanks. The quick que's are great and lvling by pulling large mobs is strangely satisfying lol. Personally though I'm not a raider or a mythic kind of player..I leave that to the younger folks..ty fir the video..subbed.
@scramman Thanks for the comment and the sub! We do really try and step back in a lot of our videos and try and get in the shoes of new, returning, or more casual players. Break it down into simpler ways of looking at it. And I agree, there is definitely something satisfying about pulling a huge amount of mobs on my Prot Pally and knowing I am in no danger of death. But man does it take a while to kill the stuff ... lol.
Really interesting approach! Good video
Many thanks! @chrisprsg and thanks for the comment.
Great video! Well put together.
Much appreciated! Thanks @valentroroth9206
Easy - Just play healer or tank if u wanna play the game…If u can wait 30/40 min for team (pvp/pve) u can play dps 😅
@fujis5275 That would not work for me. After I try and heal the first key, my queue wait would be until the end of time. I would never get invited again ... lol
Subscribed. Thank you for the APM tip. As a keyboard warrior by day I need to consider the APM to avoid any gameplay pain at night.
Thanks for the sub! @Xon333. Yeah it was a lot of years at a keyboard for me as well.
Well done video!
Thanks! @strouss3888 Appreciate the comment.
For 20 years my main has been a hunter. Either MM or BM, but always my main. I do have 2 main alts. Ret Pally and Shadow Priest. Each are just so different from each other and love the different plsy styles. I do almost want to play Survival. Only because I got the Lego Axe. So it would be a minor troll to mog it on a hunter.
@DouglasD7k I do love some Hunter play as well! Destro is so different. Like no mobility at all ... lol. I started a Survival in Remix but just love BM too much.
Ranged, high movement, survivable, and mostly solo style, BM Hunter, Arcane or Frost Mage, Demonology or Afliction Warlock. I also like DK as I mained them for years and am very comfortable with them any spec
@michellemcguire2174 Thanks for the comment. That is definitely my style of play as well!
I usually play 4 characters pretty equally. One of each armor type: Plate, Mail, leather, cloth. Then i have them take different professions. Couple might have same gathering skill. And they share all their stuff. That will be much easier when warbands come. Basically the 4 characters on new campfire login screen are my main.
@ChosenGamingTV Thanks for the comment! Having different armor types is a really good idea and agree Warbands are going to help a lot. I have not done the professions thing in the past but am planning to hit all of them for the new xpac. Been going through and setting up my characters for what each one is going to do. So this go around I will main the warlock and play 5 other Alts to get all the profs. Druid for Mining and Herbalism just due to flight form.
Omg this is such a a fantastic video..🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉..dragon flight I played a destro worgen warlock it was fun.now with all the changes and my focus on solo play with delves I really want to go back to being a mage but I also enjoy elemental shaman. And I'm so used to being a destro warlock. But now beast master hunter is going to be good.hmm....also the races make a difference too horde or alliance plus what racials will benefit you the most in you play..I have 45dys to figure this out 😅😅😅😅
@jessicahampton4581 Thank you! That stream of consciousness you just typed feels like my brain every day .... 🤣. I just started leveling another Ele Shaman. Looks like the changes coming for Ele in The War Within are going to improve that spec a lot more as well. Squirrel! haha
I got every class to 70 and geared them out in their full raid finder set in S4 of DF. It helped me discover that I loved certain classes very unexpectedly (Monk, Evoker) and hated some I thought I would really like (Mage, S-Priest). I gave it a good shot with all of them, tried all their specs. In the end, I like 7 classes enough I could main them - Hunter, Paladin, Death Knight, Monk, Rogue, Warrior. From there I studied a Reddit thread on what classes people intend to main someone else put a summary in Icy Veins about this today). Of those classes, I crossed off Hunter because it’s far and away the most popular, even though I got my BM Hunter at a maxed out ilvl. I also crossed off Paladin. At the top of my list are DK, rogue and Monk because hardly anyone is interested in them. Between now and August 22nd I’ll take these 3 classes to a 3000 M+ rating and through AOTC to figure out what I want most.
@Electric_ That is awesome! No doubt you will definitely stick with what you ultimately decide since you know enough about all of them now. That's the whole idea for sure.
@@TwoAngryFrogs for sure - the reason I did it is because every expansion I have the same problem. This is the only way to find a cure. For the record, I am heavily leaning towards DK and might end the experiment soon because it has both a tank and DPS spec that are great. Couldn’t learn to love Brewmaster.
@@Electric_ Blood DK I think is a lot of fun to play as well. The self healing on that tank is great. It was the same for me. It took probably two expansions for me to really land on the three I routinely play.
I mained a Warlock in DF and will continue to main it in TWW. I will be playing a few other classes regularly though.
@Jayerei I just love to watch Chaos Bolt big booms! Lock is a really fun class to play.
@@TwoAngryFrogs Green fire is bis!
@@Jayerei
I’ve always played warrior or rogue with hunter rarely but I enjoy it as my only range class! I don’t play magic classes. I have played every class and even tried healing wrath expansion was only time I ever healed as disc priest as I felt that was the best time that class was enjoyable to play! (For me) and I never heal! Finding what you enjoy is the best advice to know what to pick! I’ve tanked as every spec besides brewmaster but enjoy warrior tanking the best regardless of meta I’m pushing high keys!
@emjaythegreat22 Thanks for the comment and great advice! I think we get too hung up sometimes on picking "the right one". A lot of it for me was it just felt comfortable playing a particular spec. Kind of just locked in with my brain, while others, even if they were easier or better, just did not click. It's a weird thing sometimes.
@@TwoAngryFrogs yeah for sure! I push keys for keystone hero and any class and spec can push +17-18 keys it really isn’t until you hit higher than that where the “meta” really starts to show and sway based off balance. Big part is running with same people you can’t be afraid to burn a key to push and that’s the biggest thing! I never play class I can’t enjoy. Whole point of playing the game for me is enjoyment and people lose sight of that when meta comes up not really knowing how important it is or isn’t.
Hunter has always been the beginner class for as long as I can remember, plus hunting for rare and exotic pets can be a lot of fun too. ❤
@UA-cam_Enjoyerlol Yeah BM Hunter in particular. I actually started as a pally in Vanilla up to Pandaria, but somehow ended up on BM when I came back to WoW during BFA.
Playing since 08, I've mained a mage. At one time I had 7 of them in my character list. I've whittled that down to three. My first mage, a gnome female who is currently fire spec, is still my main-main. But I've been playing female dark-iron paladin (Ret) for about eight months and LOVE the feel of bashing things in the face up close and personal. I can't heal worth spit, so that's right out. I can see me standing in the middle of the room, boss having retreated and everyone else is dead but me because I couldn't heal fast enough. The three i absolutely hate playing is Evoker, Demon Hunter, and, especially, Rogue. Just all the moving is harder for me. Unless I'm having to tank or heal, everything else is good (hence why I have 58 characters of all sorts. I have 2 demon hunters just because, two evokers for the same reason (collections), and no rogues. Yes, I'm an alt-holic and a collector of all sorts of things in game.
Hey @charlayned Alt-oholic here as well. Just deleted my Remix Hunter since I figured I did not need 4 of them when Warbands comes around ... lol. I think I have at least two of every ranged class. My problem is I actually like the leveling process so I will start a new character of the same class to learn a different spec.
Have my sub, this video is really good.
Choosen a warlock because of the class fantasy and relatively low APM.
@zraccen Thanks for the comment! I love the class fantasy as well. Have several warlocks but always go back to the Troll due to the look and feel.
What spec? I'm really drawn to the new demo set up
@@Frosty616. Planning on Destro. The Diabolist Hero Talents so far are pretty cool.
@@Frosty616. Destruction. It really feels like you're just destroying anything in your way, no matter what consequences might come up. First destroy, then ask.
When the game comes out I'm going to wait and see if its fun to play the game as a solo player again, like it was in legion. And then i will probably main my ww monk and make a ret pally alt.
@KingDJ524 I played solo while testing on the Beta and there are definitely a lot of things for solo players. I think Delves will will be a great thing for solo players or even small groups of 2 to 3 people. It gives another option that is not Mythic+ and Raiding.
I like being useful in M+ so im playing resto shamman. I think they are the class with most utility
@ToastyPatchey I would agree. Between Shaman and Druid there is a ton of utility.
It’s simple, let the wheel decide.
@XxFortreXGamingxX Spinning the wheel is definitely an option. 🙃
ITS SO SAD beeing older and older and have to concider high spaming classes not t play. its the same with me. when i was young i did never consider that
Know I’ll be playing arms/prot warrior.
@nofoxgiven6561 Nice! Arms another great cleave damage spec. Thanks for the comment.
I've never been part of expansions before can you only pick one ?
@fredbridges4012 Nah you can play all 13 classes and all specs if you want. For high level Mythic+ and Raiding you typically pick a Main since that character is the one you will work on gear and other stuff to progress the raid bosses. But even at that we still play a lot of Alt characters on the side.
The apm thing is very interesting. I find demo literally 10x more difficult than destro, and aff to be the easiest, yet they have roughly the same apm
@salihkizildag Thanks for the comment! For me it is just the opposite. Find Destruction easiest and Affliction the most difficult. I have always wondered what it is about a given spec that clicks. Not sure if it is a left brain-right brain thing, how we think as far as patterns, or what, but it has always intrigued me.
I also find affliction the most complicated.
You forgot the most important one: look of the class.
I personally love Evokers kit, specs and gameplay style but absolutely hate the uncanny valley scaley mode they are forced to be in and visage having 2 worst possible races (look wise) to choose from... Basically I really wanna play as a Evoker because of the gameplay but have to give up on atleast 50% of the game content because transmogs looks so horrible. It takes all fun out of collecting cosmetics and mounts when the character looks absolutely shit half of the time and cannot even wear shoulders in visage form because of how stupid 99% of shoulders look in scaley form. Mounts also feel bit boring because of how good Drakthyrs own flying is (small size compared to the flying mounts = flying feels faster and more nimble = fun to do tricks and fly near ground. I absolutely love the new flying style (even tho it could be so much more better with little effort)).
@Omili I for sure agree on the Dracthyr form and transmog. It does take away from the fun of transmog farming. Luckily with my Troll only the feet are affected. Although I still don't understand why Trolls can't where sandal type transmogs. Their feet are literally made for sandals .. lol. Dracthyr is certainly the most affected by this issue. Probably Worgen as well due to the wolf form. It will be interesting to see if they modify anything when they add new classes for Dracthyr. We know they are coming at some point later in The War Within, just not a certain time frame yet.
I used to enjoy SPRIEST or healer, but now that I'm getting older, I got less time and lost my young reflexes.
What would you say are easy classes to play ? Mostly looking at class where you can focus more on the mecanics then APM rotation
Hey @IceWolve67 Thanks for the comment! That is a hard one to answer just because what may be easy for one person is difficult for another and vice versa. But the one I find easiest by far is BM Hunter just due to the mobility. I also find Destruction Warlock and Frost Mage to be easier than some of the others. Frost Mage has gotten more complex over time though and the spell cast timing is really crucial to good DPS. These are low APM so your not having to make split second decisions all of the time. But your mileage may vary. :D
Can't figure it out at all haha. Feel like no spec truly speaks to me anymore which is sad. Can't find it so far in the beta at least
@alsius9162 There's always the random number generator ... :D. Seriously, I am sure you will figure it out by the time we launch.
I had no idea prot warrior and paladins had such high APM
Prot warrior is a lot of apm but it’s spamming the same key to rage dump. Shield slam resets, maintain shield block ignore pain and dump rage on revenge. My favourite tank though.
@Opposegaming I had an idea the Prot Paladin might be just from playing them but like you had no idea Prot Warrior was up there.
Play them all is the correct answer
@rowdyrager-9403 That definitely makes choosing easy ... lol
Cant select a main... gonna go for a triple. DK, mage and priest
@armagedoc66 Thanks for the comment! And sounds like a plan. I also plan on playing more characters this time around. Have not done that in a long time.
I may have boomer hands but i won't let that stop me from playing prot and ret pally!!... so excited for war within
@andrewbarnett536 Haha I love it being a boomer myself. I played Prot Pally from Vanilla up to Mists. Great spec and a lot of fun to Tank with.
I don’t think it’s clever now to chose you’re class. I mean what’s best now and at the start of TWW. One patch and you may regret you’re choice. Pick something that’s fun to you. Every Class is on a basic level viable. So do what you like
@chris_d905 Absolutely agree with pick something you enjoy. It's a game so we should enjoy playing it.
You said that if you’re doing open world content that it doesn’t matter which spec you play. I disagree. If you want to solo farm elite rares having a pet to tank for you really helps. Choose hunter or warlock.
@mirandelf I would agree up to a certain iLvl of gear. But once you reach a good level you can pretty much solo the content. Early on when we are leveling or just starting to gear up, agree a class with a pet does make it easier.
pick whats meat or no high keys for you.
@hvdiv17 Really depends on what you define as high keys. I typically run up to +10. Mythic+ for me is more to support raiding. :D
i mean its literally as simple as pick what you have the most fun playing thats it lol
@DouglasD7k You might be surprised how difficult that is for a lot of people. :D
Because we have so much fun with a lot of classes and specs 🤣
wow this is the most basic braindead stuff. didn't know ppl needed a 5 min explanation on what a healer/tank is.
@ksadjdadjaifen Thanks for the comment but obviously us players that have played for a long time take all of this for granted. You might be surprised at the number of new WoW players that have started playing in the last 6 months and I expect that to continue to grow as we head into the expansion. Even though I may run Heroic and Mythic raid and high level keys, I know that I am not in the majority of WoW players when it comes to that.
At this point wow is a character creation simulator for me. I barely make it to level 25 on the panda remix bs without starting over again. Only a Dwarf DeathKnight made it to 70
