Oh, I will make it to 60. Maybe just not on a warrior. My time is valuable, so putting little to no research into what to expect would be foolish. I want to ride the wave to 60 and have fun, and not be brick-walled. I had a 60 warrior on retail. But back then, there weren't warriors coming out of everyone's ass. The "rule of thumb" didn't apply back then. These private servers are different.... So I want to know ahead of time what to expect as to not waste my time rolling a class that is gimped endgame until AQ40+ if I will have too much competition to even get in to MC. The life of an endgame warrior isn't as lavish as some would assume. Farming on a warrior is shit. Without a healer babysitting me, PvP is shit. All that is left is being an awesome tank with a full list of friends who need you.... for 5 mans:P Not worth my time, especially if there are more warriors able to use their brain and tank when needed then most people give credit for. As much as some warriors do not want to tank, I am sure most of them don't want to be useless and stuck at 60 as DPS. And don't forget, a DPS warrior pre-AQ is in the same boat as a paladin tank or other hybrid DPS. They can do it, but there are better options. So it's tank or die for a casual warrior like me.
If that is the case, I may as well roll a paladin xD At least there isn't as many, they can AoE farm, run 5 mans easier, bring more utility and can do another desired role when the tsunami of warriors washes the need for raid tanks out of existence. So I rely on you fine people to give me an idea of what the end game landscape may look like and if its worth the dedication, especially as my first character to 60.
And FYI, Paladin's can tank, albeit not as well as warriors. I wont say anything about raiding, but If other people claim It is possible, though not without its own challenges, who am I to disagree? As they say, don't knock it until you try it. As a player who has tanked every expansion since Vanilla, I am curious to see the day these paladins are given a real chance and have people who can defend it without looking foolish. Whether they fail or not, we wont know for sure until the social stigma dies down or some "Raid full of Paladins" comes and proves it once and for all. Math is fun, but seeing it first hand is better.
Once again, thank you for all your replies
