I am working on my mage and rogue now. Both were RAF accounts so they were already around level 61. I did raid a mage at 60 on a previous account so it does feel more natural to me. If you look at the fact I also have a 80 priest and 80 lock you can see I lean towards casters.
I really like my mage. It feels so simple and lax compared to my other classes. It lets me really relax and just enjoy playing. Running him with 2 specs does keep the variety just enough. If I feel that its going to be a heavy aoe run, I will go frost and blizzard every pull. If I think I will get some good single target damage, I hit it strong with arcane. I love having the ability to just dump manawhen the extra damage is needed. That is something my shadow priest lacked was a good mana dump.
I have a love hate relationship with my rogue. I think I want one so I keep at him but I just don’t have that much fun with him. I am sure its that I find myself rage starved and waste tons of combo points. My target either dies before I can spend the points or I find myself tanking a mob because nobody else is attacking it. I think I would make a great rogue once I got the hand of it.
I keep a good eye out when to distract pats that get close. I can lock down dangerous casters. And I know I can vanish when feared into another group of mobs. I still lack real aoe at this lower level so I feel worthless in groups that do aoe everything. At Least I remember to use poisons now. I think I went 2 levels before I remembered that I needed them. One of the side effects of RAF alts is missing key learning experiences for each class. I hope that I get a feel for this class before too long.
