Most polls I've seen put Rogue as the #4-#5 played class... but I can hardly believe that. The rise of the DPS warrior surely adds to this prediction. I have absolutely no idea on how much time I'll be able to spend on the game so a Druid will provide more of an assurance to get into dungeon groups with the ability to tank or heal. Still two months to figure this shit out.
I think you should look at from the long term perspective. You will eventually get to 60 and whether you will have fun will be determined by whether you chose the right class for you or not. Main decision point for you should be what gameplay you strive for. Yes there might be many rogues out there but if you want to play as one, again, that should not bother you. Do you wanna support others as a druid, be the most versatile class in the game but not being able to top the charts in most cases, or do you want to be tier 1 self-reliant dps?
There’s a lot of discussion about which classes are best, which classes can be viable, and how to play them.
This seems to miss the most important question: which classes are the most fun?
Whether you enjoy the abilities, the aesthetic, the strength, or something else, in your own words, what is the most fun class to you?
Went to click hunter... No hunters... 2 rogues... Feel marginalized and lonely... My class is not fun. I am alone. At least my pet can keep me company?
Sorry friend, it’s fixed now.
Warlock is real fun, you can easily solo the most elite quests with dotting + fear. Also you reg times are really short because you can lifetap until mana and health bars are even and then drink+eat.
Haven't quite decided yet, Though I'm tempted to roll a hunter, rogue, or warlock.
At the moment it seems that I'll roll a druid
I’m having a really hard time picking. My friend is rolling mage and wants me to roll a resto Druid, which is something I’ve never done before but looking at how everyone is talking about druids it’s scaring me :3
I'm not completely sure to be honest since I can't really make any decisions based on how the classes play in retail. I will probably play a 2-3 different classes and see which one I end up enjoying the most. Been playing some on Light's Hope to refresh my memory and so far it stands between Warlock, Priest and Paladin.
Tec Play what you yourself want to play not what others want you to play.

:/ I know, I’m just torn between so many things and I want to be useful and have fun and able to solo things. Druid might not be the worst option but it’s really looked down upon around the community it seems which is scaring me. I’ve been looking mostly at Rogue, priest and hunter before my friends “suggestion”, I just don’t know much about druids and the information about them seems somewhat weird, either they’re the worst or they’re just ok. Who knew it would be this hard to decide what to invest my spare time into while somewhat trying to be useful :3

Rogue, Priest and Druid are all good choices imo.
My first 60 was Druid and I had a blast. Though I would probably suggest Priest or Rogue over Druid as I feel that Druid is a little harder to get into the game as.

Druid seems like a very special type of play style from what I gathered but is also somewhat why I’m slightly attracted to the idea of doing it but at the same time I have no idea if I’ll like it.
I assume at 60 you’re locked to resto but you level as feral?
Holy is something I’ve been looking at for a while but seems weaker farming wise as opposed to Druid but better at healing during raids and such.
I appreciate your feedback tho.
Planning on playing a Warlock. I like the class fantasy and Warlocks have a good amount of group utility for a DPS class with CC, healthstones, soulstones and the ritual of summoning.

You will most likely be locked to Resto at 60 unless you rly like feral and want to push the limits, but from what you said it seems that feral is not for you. Balance is kinda meh. And levelling is best as Feral, yes.
Regarding farming potential, it depends on what you want to farm. I think you have more options as Druid but on the other hand Priest has decent aoe farming potential opposed to druid.
Regarding healing in raids, Priest is overall better healer as they have multiple choice of heals so they can adapt to any situation. They are better at emergency healing with Flash Heals and shields. They have a little stronger healing over time spell and better aoe heal. Druid heals are less effective due to their longer casting time but can still do a lot of healing. Druid also lacks a normal ressurection which other healers have. They do have combat res though, which is always nice but on 30 min. cd. They bring other buffs as well as Innervate which you usually use on your Priests to boost their mana regen. Druid also has better mana efficiency then Priest.
