This guild needs more ________.
You fill in the blank.
I feel like coming back into the wonderful World of Warcraft, and hey, why not rejoin my former guild on my ole' server. So I'm trying to think of which class we need more of... and well... asking for advise.
Shoot.

Re: This guild needs more ________.
We actually DO need hunters. In MC they are highly necessary as they are low-risk, low-overhead straight DPS, same with Onyxia. We used to have an abundance of hunters, but Valorthorn and Sifl have switched to Priest and Mage respectively, and will almost always be taking these characters to guild raids. That leaves Hoshi, Rapture, Antare, Wang. I'm probably leaving people off, but I could see taking 10/40 people to MC being Hunters for the damage. My alt is a hunter because I'm seeing hunters decreasing in numbers while being underestimated in importance.
Your mage is a good idea also, and is more needed than hunters.
Yes, but no sprinkles. For every sprinkle I find, I shall KILL you.

I think it is just because we essentially have 1 mage.

Re: This guild needs more ________.
The 'standard' split for dps in Molten Core groups is 4-5 Rogues, 4-5 Hunters. Generally you dont want more then that because the slots beyond the required ones almost need to be filled with a healer/caster type.

Re: This guild needs more ________.
:should have read before playing last night:
Well, I can retire my Hunter. I am only 6th level. If anyone of some stature in the clan reads this, please post by 7:00 p.m. CST what is needed the most, and I will work towards that goal.
Otherwise, I will work towards a Warlock

Re: This guild needs more ________.
First and foremost, play what you want to play, it's your game!
However, if you must know what we need the most...
Warlock
Priest
Mage
Druid
More or less in that order.
Also, what is your characters name so I can send you a guild invite?

Re: This guild needs more ________.
Speaking of needing classes. I have all classes available to Alliance on Whisperwind. Terax (Drood) is 47 soon to be 48. Dyre (Lock) just turned 22. All the others are 14-6 in level. Would anyone prefer I level someone other than Dyre, say maybe Chylix my level 10 Mage?
Also, Naggy, I have Vyre (Tauren Shaman on Boulderfist) at level 11 now. So Shaman++

Re: This guild needs more ________.
We don't need existing players to re-roll, (though having one other high level alternative isn't a bad thing) we need new(ish) people like Bundy, or iBubba here to start their main characters as the needed classes.

Re: This guild needs more ________.
Wouldn't be a re-roll Cyr, I have ALL 8 classes represented. Was just wonding if I maybe needed to sideline Dyre and level Chylix since Mages are needed. I have no preference till the next patch comes out then I will have to check on the Lock fixes. -netnutz
Drood - Terax 47 (M-NE)
Lock - Dyre 22 (M-HU)
Paly - Zahn 13 (M-DW)
Hunt - Helyx 13 (F-NE)
Mage - Chylix 10 (M-GN)
Priest - Zyre 10 (F-NE)
Warr - Cryx 8 (F-HU)
Rogue - Lyre 6 (M-GN)

Re: This guild needs more ________.
Okay... so Warlock or Mage? I am re-downloading iTunes and then starting a new "career" here soon. I ain't being bitchy - just trying to be compliant. I will have fun either way

Re: This guild needs more ________.
Your fun is the most important part...you should decide between them.
Mages do frontloaded, explosive damage. They are extremely useful and necessary in every party application. Their ability to cast AoE (area of effect) spells is unmatched, and again, required for most party scenarios.
Warlocks do damage, but focus it more on DoT (damage over time). They can have several spells burning away at a creature's life at the same time, doing damage comparable to that of a mage, but probably not quite as much. Although they have AoE capabilities, they are not as skilled as a mage. They often replace mages when none are available for their AoE, and do very well at it. Warlocks also specialize in summoning a variety of creatures to fight for them. There is a pet for every application, be it tanking, damage, etc.
Decide which sounds more appealing to you and run with it. If uniqueness counts, as it does for me, there are far fewer warlocks in the world than mages. In fact, warlock is the second least played class, after Shaman (which is Horde only) (Source)
Both classes will play similarly, at least in party situations. Good luck, and most of all, enjoy!
