Actually they nerfed the **** out of the hunters, as of Mid-November (when I stopped playing). They've also switched them over to Focus as a resource instead of mana.

My main is a hunter and I've no complaints really. Feels like Beast Mastery specced hunters do crappier dps in groups now, but dual speccing into survival helps with that. The class is even better at soloing than it used to be and it's more fun to play now. F.ex you can swap between pets without going to the stable master.

I wanted to play Cata so I came back to the game a while ago and have liked the changes .. Pre-ordered Cata from play.com which was a big mistake though I still haven't got it.

You know they have a DL you had access to as of the 7th.

I should be back in next month. What server are you fools on?

Yeah, but I was stupid enough to think that pre-ordering something means you get it in time before it is released so that I'd have Cata the moment the server came up. Naive, I know. It's in the mail, so I can't be arsed buying the digital version as I'd have to return the one I get if I want my money back.

I'm guessing the cata playfields are full anyways.

A European Server, oooooooo now we're never going to get to play together.

When did you stop playing if I can ask? Wrath was probably the low point of the game so it sounds like you missed the worst of the worst.

I was on beta servers before release, then stopped playing in summer 2005. Then I came back to check out Wrath not too long ago, so my main is 80.

I liked wrath better than burning crusade actually!

What? BC was probably the best of the WoW family thus far.

When wrath shipped the DK's were vastly overpowered, even the Dev's acknowledged that. They screwed up the raids and the near constant hInstances were a soul kill.

I'm pumped for Cataclysm but I need to get a new comp

As a paladin you're likely wanting to play Retribution, but other folks are almost always going to want you to heal. As a new player, you don't want your main to be forced to heal. Tanks are highly responsible too which paladins can also do.

As I said, a Pure DPS class can wait in longer queues but you won't be forced to do anything but attack. The 4 pures are: Hunters, Rogues, Warlocks, Mage's.

If you're looking for a straight up weapons class, try rogue.
Hm.... paladin actually sounds pretty good. I don't really mind tanking. Maybe I'll make a human paladin for play with friends, and some sort of goblin dps-based class for solo play? They can be all four of those, and I just like the look of em.

When you get feats, go beast master as this spec is best for soloing. Then, when you hit level 30, get a dual spec into marksmanship or survival to do more damage in groups. I'd suggest survival!
I'm actually not going to be on my own, as I have some friends that are starting to play around January. I'll probably be making an alt though which may get more play then my other character, as this group of friends is pretty hard to get together. Even online. I'll definitely consider hunter for that character, though I'm not really a huge fan of pets.

This is an amazing idea.

Thanks for all of the info guys. It's all really helpful.
