Best PvM Class?Follow

pve = hunter (i would think)

but! every class can and will be good at pve! every one can solo :D

and sharman is good to... but shaman is good at pvp...

King of PvE is the Hunter with a Warlock following suit. The reason being is that their pets regenerate at a phenomenal rate no matter what level they are. Think about how fast you regen when you're level one. Now double that and maintain that rate consistantly throughout your levels. The only reason a Hunter is better than a Warlock in this regard is that because a Hunter goes through a FRACTION of the mana which a Warlock goes through.

If you have to wait in between kills with a Hunter... there's something going wrong. Course we're nowhere near as good as the melee's when it comes to PvP.

'Nuff said. = )

not talking pvp.. NO PVP

How well do hunters/warlocks do against elite monster or boss type things solo?? :D

I didn't come from ffxi...i played the game a long time ago, along with many many many other mmorpgs. I'm just trying to help ppl understand what i'm saying by giving examples ^_~

please lets not make this a OMG FFXI win vs WoW!~
it was just an example, i really want to know which class excells in P v M

Just how strong are the Pets?? Even if they regen really fast are the pets themselves very strong? (warlock / hunter)

arn't the higher end warlock pets hard to summon tho? and don't last horribly long??

for the record, its PvE ala Player vs Enviroment, rather than PvM.
but yeah everything that people have said is good advice, except VampyreKnight's post.

though he is true on the fact it doesnt really matter on which class/race you choose.
WoW is a very easy going game, and while some classes are better at certian situations in PvE than others, and some races are marginaly better than others at spesfic classes, there is really no noticable differnce between them, so by going with what you like, chances are, you will have a good PvE charicter on your hands, and more importiantly, youll be happy with him/her because you got to pick what you liked the sound, or look of ^_^

the majority of the class strengths and weaknesses only tend to come out in PvP, and then its more of a rock paper scissors situation than anything else.

As a Hunter you'll be able to solo Elite's that are up to one level higher than you. Expect your pet to die more often than not and keep a healing potion handy in case you have a run of "evade evade miss miss dodge hit miss evade" bad luck. It actually get's easier to solo Elites with your Hunter when you start getting into your 30's.

You'll be fine.

So generally a class that has a pet have an upper hand in pve or pvm (or whatnot) situations since its pretty much 2v1. Just how strong can a hunter pet get? (is each pet unique in its own way? like wolf = attack and bear = defence oriented?)

Is it possible to use a pet to wear the enemy down then when pet dies run back ressurect the pet and keep at it?

Lets say LvL 60 warlock with Doomguard VS LvL 60 Hunter with any pet.

Pet VS Pet
Which one would be the strongest? ^_~ I'd assume the doomguard since its summoning req is pretty mean and that it loses control.

bear > cat

bear eat anything and it's very good tank...

my 1st pet was a bear named "tank"

i miss him

Doomguards take a group to summon and trust me u just dont do it :P

I like my blackwidow from Duskwood. Very cooool.
