we are on Burning Legion, Horde side. What kinda style do you prefer?

[Whos Theo?]

Usually I like to be the fighter sort of person, but I think I want to try something different. I have heard that the fighter class in WoW isn't really that good, but I am not sure if this is true, what would you suggest?

[chipbgt]

Paladins- restricted to Alliance side, from what I hear very boring to play, probably will be scaled back soon.

Warriors, good tanks, kind of a low population so youll be in demand, plate armor, all kinds of weapons

Rogues- damage kings, stealth, pickpocket, pick lock, leather armor, great soloers...problem is you cant go five feet without running into one.

Hunters- get pet, big part of there scheme. Ranged attack, can wear mail after 40, um.....too much detail for me.

[Whos Theo?]

If I were a warrior on the horde, what race would you suggest? I would think that Tauren or Orc would be the best, but I could be wrong.

[chipbgt]

Most I see are Orcs or Tauren. Here are the race differences.

It looks like I will be choosing between Tauren and Orc, they seem like the best to be a warrior with.

[chipbgt]

Yeah, the ability to stun someone or have a greater chance to resist stuns is central to being able to control agro. Trolls are fun races, but they dont have anything that stands out as a good reason to be a warrior. But then again, it all depends really on what race you like. All of them will be fine warriors.

[Whos Theo?]

I am not really sure what agro is, I have heard a bunch of people say the word, but I just haven't figured it out yet. I may sound like a newb, but I am not a newb about all of the game.

[chipbgt]

"Agro" is the ability to keep a monster on you, which is what the warrior wants to do so it isnt hitting anyone else. Agro (or hate) is built through damage done or through abilities like taunt that generate agro. If someone else is building more hate than you, then the monster will go after them. So a warrior wants to have really high hitpoints and armor so that he can stand to have the monster beating on him as much a s possible.

[Whos Theo?]

Now I understand what that is, thanks. I just have to wait until after school tomorrow and I will probably have it.
