I just got a Trial of WoW because I want to get the feel of it. So I want to get the best feel of it in the shortest amount of time. So I just want to know anything there is for me to know. And what A good starter would be for me. the quicker I couild get feedback would be the best. thank you very much.

Hi, hope you enjoy WoW. The only real advice I could give you is to stay away from buying gear from the Auction House, you'll know what I mean, it's a bad habit that I used to have that eats up your money. Also, whatever class you choose is fine, no class is really "the easiest", just play whatever suits your playstyle.

Try to avoid playing a Warrior or a Priest from the get-go, they're essential for parties and it's best if you don't start your first toon as something that people will depend on. No offense, I speak from experience. You'll want to try Rogue or something until you've got a full grasp on Party mechanics and stuff.

Probably the best feel for the game comes from a Shaman, to be honest. You get a dip in every type of combat all in one convenient package, but you have no crowd-control skills so you can't **** up in that aspect, and you'll be depended on surprisingly little for your healing until you get Lesser Healing Wave because everyone knows Shaman spells take forever to cast and aren't that powerful.

^^can't say a shaman, from experience they don't really get fun until level 40 (woot shaman rage) but id say any one these classes, Rouge, Mage, Warlock, Pally (on Ally), or even a hunter. Those are a few toons i rolled to about 40-50 never really got to 60, but i did get a Priest, Warrior and Warlock to 60 (yes I've been playing A VERY long time, and a fast leveler), so stick with any on those and you should get a pretty good feel for the mechanics of lowbie WoW.

Tanking or healing isn't that difficult. It's not like tightrope walking or anything, as a warrior you just pick a target, spam sunder taunt aggroed mobs...not too difficult. As for a priest, haven't played to 60 but with mods and paying a bit of attention shouldn't be too difficult and besides, there's priest shortages on alot of server because people claim it's too difficult to heal.....seriously don't be scared of it....WoW needs healers!

Congrats on getting WoW man. About the classes im gonna say that there is no "easy" class but when i started, i didnt like mage. The main things i like were Rogues and pallys. And if your gonna level by instancing(if you dont know what that is, youll find out soon enough) then humans are usually good because you start near the Deadmines which is a lvl 17-??26?? instance and has some ok drops for low levels. But yeah pallys and rogues are good for starting out. Have fun with WoW
