It always puzzled me why shammy and pally numbers tend to be so low in polls, when you see plenty of them in the wild while playing. But then if you divide any other class number roughly by two to separate other faction players, it gets pretty much reasonable.
Like in a non-toxic way...were you not doing this already?

Well, i did not, guess i was too focused on the numbers itself. Would be cool if each class bar on the graph also showed faction distribution of that class.
Current poll results are curious anyway, warlocks overtook even mighty warriors.
Orc fem warrior for me. Orcs are by far my favorite WoW race and I really like Warriors!
Big plus is, that I amgoing to get groups for content faster, because I will tank too :biggrin:
My heart is set on a dwarf shadow priest w/ alchemy & herbalism! I'm a little worried about the obvious raiding, but the pvp, fantasy, and that shadowform dwarf tushy is calling me! I'm really hoping I manage to find myself with a good group of people that will promote my shadow play if I'm resourceful enough through attendance, farming, alchemy...etc.

Yeah warlocks is super surprising being that high. I'm more surprised rogues are so low.
Dwarf warrior. Leveling will be pissing blood but, after so many private vanilla servers, this will probably be my very last go at vanilla. I will just take it easy and enjoy the journey.
Would be interested to know what faction picked what classes (outside of the obvious). There was no way I expected Warlock to be the most voted class

Also I'm curious about the PvP vs. PvE split as far as server choice. Other polling at the subreddit showed a huge dropoff in rogue players going from PvP to PvE. Which, you'd think would be so stereotypical that there's no way it'd be true, but it's a thing. Have to wonder if that is suppressing the rogue numbers here.
I'm taking a leap of faith when classic is released and maining an orc warrior wish me luck
Good luck
orc race best race :biggrin:
Fellow warrior here. Endure untill you get some buddies for that early whirlwind axe. Then its EZ PZ.

Merged this into an existing topic.
Good luck!
One thing I totally forgot about when picking this poll is that I really want to multibox when classic hits. I haven't truly considered the classes yet, but Warlock or Mage will be one for sure, potentially both.
I've multiboxed before in retail, using 3x accounts at once during WotLK, where I played a Warrior/Rogue/Feral Druid combo.
My setup was to use a keystroke cloner only, and macro specific actions to numpad keys; essentially i only really needed (on separate keys):
All abilities then go on the normal hotbar (I use 1-5 then shift 1-5, along with q, e and middle mouse, all with shift variants [16 actions]), and I just arrange them as required so that 2 always uses an action of a similar type.
Because of this, I typically don't like the idea of mixing melee and ranged, so I'm open to suggestions? I think I'd quite like a Warrior and a Warlock, but this feels like an awkward combo and maybe I'd be better picking Druid/Warlock as then the Druid can be Balance and I get 2 casters to control?

Oof, if I was you man I'd stick to one class alone to be honest. Most multiboxers I've seen have been uniform class, casting same spells etc. You'll do your head in trying to manage 5 different classes at the same time IMO! Of course I'd be happy to be proved wrong.
Wow, 650 votes and going strong. Wait there is only 583 members.... hmm. I guess guests can vote?!
Rogue being so low and warlock being so high is kind of crazy. Split each class in half to account for faction and suddenly Shaman and Paladin move into equal third behind Warlock and Warrior. Very intriguing, we are getting a much bigger sample size, and it is still showing heavy bias to Warlock/Warrior and a distinct lack of Rogue.
Just like every server type and faction attracts a different type of clientele, so does this forum.
I may sound like an elitist jerk (guess I am), but I assume there are more sophisticated folks active here and less of your stereotypical "Ima gonna pwn / gank" gimps (aside from Uncle Ganus McAnus maybe *grin*).
These are the results of a reddit survey with 10.000 participants, which are probably a bit more representative (not my work):

Balance Druids run out of mana fast. If you're not planning on a tank/heal/dps combo to farm DM for enchanting mats, herbs, and mining nodes at 60, then I would personally go for something as homogeneous as possible. BUT, if you actually want to level three separate characters to 60 at the same time (where they may go their own ways?), here are some possible combos:
Mage, Warlock, Hunter (2 pets, you won't ever need healing, all range)
Mage, Warlock, Priest (all range, Mage can make water for everyone, and priest can heal if you like that)
Mage, Priest, Warrior (you can do those DM farms at 60)
Mage keeps getting mentioned because the CC sheep provides and the water and food utility when leveling multiple characters is just too good to pass up.
Also, this is for a PvE server, right?
One thing ...

I’m probably only going to try 2 characters for Classic, and I almost certainly will be on a PvE server, yes. My playstyle means I can be called away from the keyboard in less time that it takes to properly exit the game so I end up AFK a lot, not the best for PvP.
I like the idea of a Warlock/Hunter for double pets, but also Warlock/Mage for the utility is very tempting also, if a little awkward in terms of competition for drops.
Perhaps for my first ‘alt’ I’ll go for Warrior/Druid, levelling the Druid as feral...

Just be warned that druids are a quite weak for anything at 60 besides herb gathering. However, because of this there is always a shortage of them in guilds and perhaps you could loan yours out as a MotW raid buff bot.
