So, as the title says I want to start a run on WoW.
I have always had mild interest on the game, but didn’t have money to pay for its subscription when I had the time to play it.
Now I still don’t have a lot of time, but my interest has grown. I would like to play with my girlfriend and enjoy the journey of exploring new places. What do you recommend to fulfill these expectations? I have some interest to check classic without expansion WoW, but I have heard that is easy to get lost.


I kind of like the Wizard archtype, if I can have one of those Gandalf like hat I will be happy. Any recommendations?
Arcane mage is probably the closest you’ll get. There’s also elemental shaman which might be up your alley.
Poster above is definitely correct… but, don’t get too attached until you’ve had a chance to sample the play style.
The obvious choice is mage, but I like wizards too and I hate the mage play-style.
Why did you not like the playstyle? Just curious
The thing I hated most back in the day was that you have to be able to keep moving in WoW, but I don’t feel like any other class is punished quite as much for that movement. You can lose a lot of DPS often purely from bad luck and RNG and while that is true for everybody… feels like mages have it worst. It feels bad.
I will say I haven’t played in years though, so I could be out of date. The classes I enjoyed playing the most were definitely not the ones I expected going in though.
