lock, rogue, or shammy which one

[Baldurx]

I am thinking of what to fill my last toon slot with. I have a dk/pally/mage/druid/Spriest/2xhunters/warrior, what 1 of the 3 I said in the subject portion will be a good profession farmer toon? also which one is the less pain in the butt to learn.

Locks are very fun to play in bgs, slightly hard to master but destro is quite easy with lot of control, good burst.
Afflic is very unique too.
Pvp wise every melee against you can be frustrating if you dont have portal placed or you cant kite.
Pve wise only destro is good atm and bit boring

Shammy bg = random ele burst can gib anyone whos defenseless. Pve wise i've seen only restos so maybe other 2 are not so good?? Idk

And finally rogue = king of 4.3 pve or pvp

[Incarnate]

Elemental for PvE as on the previous patch still requires quite some BiS gear in order to just start doin some competitive dps.
As for Resto well, resto shaman is kind of the best pve healer at the moment cuz druids still need fixing and paladins don't seem as OP as they should be on this patch. Second best PvE healer is holy priest imo.

[harshal777]

Holy pally is the best healer for ds.
Not because of freakz bugs or its overtuned by blizz but because of fight mechanics favouring pallys.

usually when I'm starting a new class I ask my buddy to loan me his acc so I can test that class out

p.s. I would pick lock.

Well maybe there is just no good holy pallys on the horde side of Exodus cuz I never saw one toping the recounts.

You probably never met a good pally then. Morchok fight favors the pally while Yor'sahj favors the Shaman (purple ooze - Healing rain), while Hagara is kinda same for both because there isn't that much stacking. Both classes (pala and shammy) can top the recount.
But, if the Earthliving proc from Healing rain is fixed, Shamans will be much better than they are now.

I reported that bug where Healing rain isn't adding stacks and some GM laughed at me.
As for EL procs from HR, this was fixed quite some time ago.

WTH are they designed for then?

Healing rain shouldn't give stacks because it's not considered direct healing.
About the Earthliving procs, i think the proc rate is still 2% (it should be higher), because after 2 minutes of Healing Rain spam, i got the proc 2 times. It's still "nerfed"

[Baldurx]

thank you everyone for your input, I will make a lock .

[Incarnate]

Macedo, the 2% proc chance is legit. The bug was with the talent that increases it for targets below 35% health.
And the 1st tick from healing rain should add one stack and another stack for every reentering in the rain.

Lock is a great pick ! Have fun !
