Hello all. So I have been playing classic since launchtimes. Before classic I mained a DH, and I loved the fast paced playstyle and seemingly broken AOE in M+. In classic I play a Lock and I'm happy farming AQ40 and parsing well in. My guild is well established on the server and we are one of three AQ40 guilds that parse week to week. I am very lucky to have a raid spot here. They basically carry me and all I have to do is show up and parse oranges. And tank Twins.
Secretly, I returned to retail to level some stuff and try out the prepatch. The DH is still the same. Nothing has really changed at all... if anything it got even more cheesy with Unbound Chaos now being baseline. It was fun to mow everything down like normal, but it was also not
fun to do it with such ease.
However... I reluctantly leveled my DK one afternoon and somehow-- off the bat -- Unholy is THE playstyle I have been looking for. A PET spec with a large skill cap and big AOE potential. DoTs and Soul Reaper. Army of the Dead. The flexibility to go Frost if UH is boned, or Tank in a pinch. Just doing low keys on her I am destroying similarly or even better geared DPS on a variety of classes. I'm not sure if my experience is realistic.
It's the prepatch. I have no beta access. I have no idea if things change after 50. That being said, I have a confession. I am seriously thinking of leaving my Lock once SL drops for this DK. I feel like I'm having an affair with a young attractive woman. She's so appealing and new and
STRONG. My Lock is over here pink because AQ gear is fugly and the helm/shoulders are BiS
.
What do I do MMOC?! do I stick it out with my old Lock in an old game, go to the sexy new DK or play it safe with the DH cheese and pray SL is good...?
This seems like a silly thread, but I am really torn.
