Cool classes are the Warriors, Warlocks, DKs, and Rogues, they tend to get the best looking gear.
Warriors = the bad ass of WoW. They are the guys who (Sean Connery put it best) "gets to go home and fuck the prom queen." To me they are the epitome of a soldier, they love fighting and charge straight in the heat of battle not giving a fuck while thirsting for some blood. They are COOL baby, yeaaaah...
Warlocks = Hellfire, searing pain, enslavement of demons, chaos bolts, demonic forms. These guys are cool and their lore is cool. Want mana? FUCK DRINKING, I'LL JUST EAT MYSELF! Also, how can you NOT be cool when you control your own half-naked demon dominatrix hottie complete with whip and moans?
DKs = The master of undeath. They are fallen Warriors/Paladins that have been resurrected to fight once more. These guys have some cool abilities and lore, too bad it attracts all of the kids and retards who wish they were like them in RL but are instead lamers. The class is cool, the players are not.
Rogues = Master of shadow and stealth. When I think of these guys, I think of super awesome NINJAS that will come to your house at night and slit your throat while you sleep! Fuck honor, I'm going to back stab this guy, steel his money, and fuck his girl! Again though, Rogues are like DKs int hat they attract some pretty bad players. Also, their super annoying tricks are super annoying in PvP which makes them one of the most hated class in the game (I hate them too.... but the class is cool).
Middle ground classes are Mages, Hunters, maaaaaybe SPs.
These guys are neutral in my book. They aren't lame, but they also aren't cool either. Mages have some cool spells and some lame spells. Their lore I don't find so cool either, one of their most powerful leaders, Jaina, is such a whiny little crybaby, I just want to smack her. Hunters are almost cool, but the people that play them are mostly 9 year olds, so they get a bad rep. SPs are dark priests, I guess thats kinda cool... but they still Priests so that makes them less cool.
-Uncool classes are Shamans, Priests, Druids and Pallies
Shamans = The primitive class. It's always ancestor this and spirits that. They are the primitive class of WoW. When I think of Shamans, I think of Witch doctors and medicine men of lesser advanced tribes. Also, totems have to be at least 12 feet tall to be considered cool.
Druids = The tree huggers of WoW. Perhaps the most uncool class in all of the game. Most of their abilities have to do with a hippy's wet dream. Feral is not that bad, but Walrus form makes it uncool as well.
Paladins = The goodie-two-shoes class. When I think of a Paladin, I think of the Warrior's still-in-the-closet step brother who fought in the war because of the 'don't ask, don't tell policy'. Complete with pink name and shiny bubbles, Paladins are the sissies of WoW.
Priests = The religious dudes. Ever since that whole Catholic scandal, I tend to look at Priests in a different way. They the coolest uncool class, but they still uncool in my book. Priests are tied to religion which I don't think is that cool a thing.
