This will have the largest concentration of other players trying to do exactly the same quests as you. No matter what class you choose, get out of the starting zone. Plus, you won’t get the pets you want for quite a few levels. Warlock and Hunter can be good as pet classes but, remember, pets don’t hold the attention of monsters in Classic the way they do in the modern game, and they require more micro-management. But, equally, you can’t expect them to get to 60 as quickly as primary damage classes not subject to Blizzard’s vanilla 'Hybrid Tax,' which reduces the damage of classes that can also fulfill other roles.įor power-leveling, consider Rogue or Mage. Obviously, if you want to be a Priest (the most popular healer in Classic) or a Warrior (the most popular tank) to 60, pick those characters. They’ll still be popular-each faction only has four races to choose from, after all-but it won’t be as awful. If you want to make it to 60 as quickly as possible, go for a less common race, such as Gnomes or Undead. On the Alliance side, pick Human and watch as player after player taps that wolf just before your spell hits. Half the Horde will be queuing with you in the Valley of Trials if you choose Orc or Troll to kill the same boar. The race you choose will make a big impact on those maddening crowds.
