I have been really torn between making a resto druid for tbc or stick with my shadow/disc priest for various reasons and it got me thinking... what do you guys think will become an extremely overpopulated/underpopulated class for TBC?
Personally, I think we will see a TON more Paladins/druids/shamans/and hunters.
I think mage population will plummet, warlocks should stay pretty similar, although warriors are good I believe they will also drop, priests might drop as well, and rogues will stay fairly low as well.
Druids become powerhouse pvp healers, amazing multi tank and raid healers with lifebloom, amazing tanks, ferals are needed in basically every raid, and boomkins actually have their place in raids to buff casters (especially in t5 where they can innervate mages)
Resto shamans are basically the MVP raid healer in tbc, eles for caster groups, enhance for melee group, as well as one is needed (pretty much) in every group for bloodlust/hero.
Hunters become best dps in the game with basically pressing one button
Same goes for warlocks
Mages are good and shine in certain raids, but they aren’t as dominant as they are in classic.
Priests are still solid healers, shadow is now 100% needed instead of just a niche.
Rogues do great damage, but unfortunately that’s all they do, no buffs, no nothin.
Warriors still do great damage, still great tanks, but there are other options now.
Paladins tanks are now needed for certain fights, holy still great tank heals, Ret becomes way less memey but still pretty low in dps. The buffs they bring are amazing.
