↖ Druid: Master of the Wilds

Embrace Your Inner Beast or Leaf

• Feral DPS Delight: Wild Strikes, Savage Roar, and Mangle make Feral Druids a top pick at level 25. High damage and the envy of Shamans pre-Windfury Totem.
• Bear Tank Brawn: Survival of the Fittest for crit immunity, Skull Bash for interrupts. Flexibility between DPS and tanking will be a common sight.
• Boomkin Brilliance: Star Surge, Sunfire, and the mana-free Wrath thanks to Fury of the Stormrage. Expect to dish out damage without a mana care in the world.
• Resto Resilience: Wild Growth, Life Bloom, and the GCD-reduced Rejuvenation. Druids can now handle AoE healing more effectively in classic environments.

 

↖ Shaman: Elemental Enthusiasts

Harness the Power of Nature

• Melee Mayhem: Enhance Shaman struggles at 25 but gets better. Lava Lash and Molten Blast for AoE, Shamanistic Rage for mana regen.
• Elemental Excitement: Overload for extra spell strikes, Lava Burst for guaranteed crits. Elemental Shamans have a versatile toolkit, especially in leveling.
• Resto Refresh: Overload works wonders with Chain Heal. Earth Shield and Water Shield for sustained healing and mana efficiency.
• Shaman Tank Talk: Shield Mastery and Way of Earth for armor and threat. A solid choice with group buffs, though watch out for low avoidance stats.

 

↖ Paladin: Holy Heroes

Divine Might and Magic

• Retribution Radiance: Seal of Marom for mana boost, Divine Storm for AoE. Crusader Strike regenerates mana, making Ret Paladins a versatile force.
• Tank Tenacity: Avenger Shield for pulls, End of Reckoning for taunts and mana regen. Paladins shine in AoE threat management.
• Healing Harmony: Beacon of Light remains the go-to. Horn of Lordon and Divine Sacrifice offer additional utility and healing boosts.

 

↖ Priest: Heavenly Skills and Shadowy Thrills

Divine or Dark, You Decide

• Shadow Mastery: At level 25, embrace Shadowform with killer abilities like Shadow Word: Death and Mind Sear for AoE.
• Healing Harmony: Choose Penance or Circle of Healing. Serendipity speeds up your Prayer of Healing, while Strength of Soul buffs weaken Soul effects.
• Leg Up with Leg Runes: Prayer of Mending for mobile healing or Power Word: Barrier for damage reduction. A priest still feels like a priest, just with more oomph!

 

↖ Rogue: From Stealth to Health

Sneak, Strike, or... Tank?!

• Sinister Strikes and Beyond: Saber Slash upgrades your Sinister Strike, and Shadowstrike teleports you in PvP.
• Poison Prowess: A new poison build emerges, but be wary of its potential pitfalls like resistance and scaling issues.
• Tank? Really?!: Yes, you read that right. A rogue tank spec with runes like Just Flesh Wound and Blade Dance. High avoidance, high risk, but... maybe high reward?

 

↖ Mage: Elemental Elegance and Healing Surprise

From Frosty Fingers to Arcane Healers

• Frost Fanfare: Add Fingers of Frost and Icy Veins for a chillier blast. Perfect for PvE and leveling.
• Fiery Force: Burnout and Living Bomb offer crits and AoE magic. Though a bit tame at 25, it promises explosive power later on.
• Arcane Anomalies: Manage your mana with Enlightenment and Arcane Surge. Arcane Blast increases damage for other spells – a new twist to the arcane playstyle.
• Healer? In Mage's Clothing: Regeneration and Temporal Beacon for healing? Yes, Mages get a healing spec with unique mechanics like rewind time and Arcane-based healing.

 

↖ Hunter: Aim High and Shoot True

Unleashing the Ranged Prowess

• Lone Wolf and Master Marksman: Choose between pet-free damage boost or crit and Mana reduction for shots.
• Sniper or Serpent: Sniper Training for distance damage, or Serpent Spread for multi-target stings.
• Chimera Shot vs. Explosive Shot: Both are great, but Chimera Shot likely edges out with added utility.

 

↖ Warlock: Masters of the Dark Arts

From Fiery Destruction to Demonic Allies

• Fire Frenzy: Leg of Fire and Incinerate for a blazing start. Embrace the inferno with a 40% fire damage boost.
• DoT Domination: Everlasting Affliction for corruption refresh, Haunt for increased Shadow damage.
• Pet Power and Shadow Volley: Demonic Pack for party buffs, Shadow Bolt Volley for AoE cleave.
• Tank Transformation: Metamorphosis for armor and taunts, Demonic Grace for mobility. A stylish and effective tank option.

 

↖ Warrior: The Classic Powerhouse

From Mighty Strikes to Sturdy Shields

• Two-Handed Terror: Quick Strike for instant attacks, Frenzy Assault for attack speed, and Flagellation for damage boost.
• Dual-Wield Dynamo: Endless Rage for extra rage generation or Single-Minded Fury for damage and speed.
• Titan of Tanking: Serious Thunder for Thunder Clap upgrade, Devastate for weapon damage and threat.
• Future Glory: Gladiator stance and spell reflect on the horizon, keeping the Warrior spirit strong and versatile.
