    What Class Has The Best Chance of Survival Against Zombies? (Realistic Version)

    All this zombie talk has got me thinking about this, What class do you think is most able to survive in a zombie epidemic?

    Here is the catch, we have to view this from a realistic POV. I know that's hard since it's world of warcraft and the zombie apocalypse, but let me lay down some guide lines for you.

    For example:

    A class like a rogue could easily just stealth around all day and never had a problem with zombies. However in this version of zombie apocalypse, his stealth would drain him of his energy. For added realism, energy/focus/mana/runic power/ammo/etc does not recharge like in the regular game. In this scenario, the "player" must conserve his powers wisely and not tap himself out before the day is over. Therefore no class can just nuke all of stormwind and cleanse the city of the undead. Eating food prevents hunger and allows the ability to recover health, drinking water prevents dehydration and allows resource recovery, and rest recovers actual health and resources. Therefore players have to eat and drink, mages...you CAN conjure food and water...but this is not very wise unless you already have a reserve of food and water.

    There is no lay on hands, no reincarnation, no OP PVE/PVP spells. There are hundreds of spells that we can debate if it's too op or not.

    Another example is the warrior. Battle hardened and conditioned for endless warfare. No doubt he could fight the longest endurance wise, but no way could he whirlwind all the way around ironforge and not die of exhaustion. Do you guys see where I'm going with this? Carrying 2 2h weapons or a sword and shield would eventually fatigue most warriors, imo, warriors would strip themselves down into mail and a single sword or axe.

    As for what class I think would have the best chance, would most likely be the hunter. As long as the hunter had ammo and traps (realism) he could be the master of holding back the undead. If he runs out, he does have minor melee abilites. A bow/cbow for night missions and his rifle for daytime hunting. Not to mention his pet only needs food and if it dies, if the hunter moves quick enough...he could tame another...if not, since this is no dps race, the hunter would not be hindered by having no pet. Worse case scenario...he could eat his pet. The hunter even has a stealth for very crucial moves around hordes of zombies.

    Take some time and think about how each class would do in a zombie situation. Think more realistically (if that's possible) and not if this was the actual game.

    Death Knights, they could kill a zombie and turn it against the other zombies.

    A "real" warlock without warlock spells is just some random cultist. A "real" paladin without paladin spells is just a random bible thumper. A "real" priest without priest spells is just the Pope.

    See where I'm going with this? Yeah, I'd just let the zombies eat me.
    I quit the game, and this happens:
    "You can now mount while under the skeleton effect of the Noggenfogger Elixir!"
    Are you effing kidding me?!?!

    hm I'm gonna have to say priest. Cure disease to keep the zombie-fication from spreading, shadowform - you could just kinda blend in with a dark alley, you wear cloth and cary around a book and a hammer so your gear wouldn't be that taxing.

    And if all else fails, run in spamming Holy Nova till you die :P

    edit: oh and fade, it'd be like real life stealth mode cause you'd just be super cautious and make less noise while faded - it'd help you get around a crowded zombie-ful area lol

    We're not going by the game, mana does not recharge unless you are sleeping and had plenty to drink that day. Most likely being able to summon and keep out a water elemental would be exhausting enough, let alone trying to keep it alive. No elemental could fight off a very large horde of zombies...it would be ripped apart.

    I stopped reading after the 3rd use of 'his' with no sign of gender neutrality. Shame, because I love zombie topics.
    Infractions this, infractions that.

    Paladin and Death Knight will be the best choice.

    Paladin because of their holy light power ((the use of mana in their case is only a ingame mecanic btw)) and the deathknight because...heh...they are already kinda dead and they can control the undead creatures easily + both of them have a very big understanding of the undead lores and creatures. Knowledge = power.


    Hunter can be a nice choice to escaped/avoid the zombies from miles and play the survivalist for months.


    And finally i want to say Druid....BUT only if they stay in a VERY NATURE environement...but beyond that...they are doomed like all the rest.
    If you fishing for hours at the same place and you become confident that everything is fine and safe, its will mean one thing; You are wrong. Because i was actually sitting near of you for hours, cloaked in the shadow with a smile on my face and my daggers ready to strike. I did it many time before. I will do it again.....and again......

    Wow really? I mean really... not everyone has to be PC all the time. This is some dude posting on an internet forum about a video game mostly played by other dudes. He can say "his" without some feminist freaking out on him. Chill out.

    My God, what a horrible creation. People seeing what they want? Thank God they tried to shy away from that. I know it pisses me off when I'm in an heroic raid, yet in the back of my head all I can think is 'some casual player is playing a heroic dungeon and not wiping.' -Vodkarn

    Well your food/water source can't be infinite so a Mage would be able to hold out the longest in a given position, and if you were ever overrun you could just invis and run away. So in terms of able to survive the longest Mage (or now that I think about it do death knights need any food or rest since they're undead anyways?). Now in terms of kicking undead ass left and right it would be pallies hands down for obvious reasons.

    Shaman of course. Elemental one. Because if we want realism, then earthquake should destroy whole place with zombies in it.

    also, can i use Wandering Plague ? XD

    I'm not sure who taught you, but my professors have told me time and time again it is perfectly acceptable to use one gender if only you use one gender. (MLA Regulations) I don't know about you, but during a zombie apocalypse I DO NOT CARE what gender you are, as long as you can help me survive that's all that matters.

    You do know that earthquake takes a ton of mana? Most likely you could cast or two and be completely tapped.
