Returning player needs information on classes

[Furiion]

Hey guys, since not seriously playing since Tier 1 Cata I'm trying to get back in again. I started playing in beta and have played a Mage, Shaman, DK, Druid and Paladin seriously.

I am trying to lean towards classes I haven't played (lock, hunter, warrior and priest. Not interested in the new class) but I'm really unsure on how they do endgame. I'm kind of unsure what I want to do endgame, I like to stick toward tanking or DPS but I don't want that to limit the class I want to play.

Can anyone give me some info on the funf actor / competitiveness of classes so I can can make my decision? Thanks

Lock, Hunter and Priest are all in decent positions. They just happen to be three classes I have levelled to 90. Priest might be a good choice, as they seem a lot easier to gear up (since you can take the caster dps + spirit gear), and having a healing spec allows for much quicker queues for dungeons and LFR. If catching up quickly is a priority, then certainly consider that.

What you're asking for is very broad and very VERY subjective, so much that most answers would be inherently useless.
If you want to have a decent idea of what every class looks like atm check Icy Veins class guides, but remember, a lot is going to change in a few weeks when the next patch hits live.

Exactly. For that reason, we close these kind of threads. We can't decide for you, OP.
