World of Warcraft

Hey I just am using the free trial and so far ive tried a warlock, a warrior, and then a hunter.  Each of them have been extremely boring, I mean most the time is spent watching my character and not doing anything except tapping a few buttons on my keyboard.  So before I waste time starting a new character I need some help, I want something with some actual interactivity; so it doesnt feel like im watching a movie instead of playing a game.  So can anyone help me out, anything info would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry pal, they're all like that (Reason #3 why I quit WoW).

Maybe you can tell us what kind of combat do you enjoy? Isit meele class or caster? My main is a warrior and i enjoy it very much. I love to rush into the thick of battle and hack and slash away. During solo, ive to read the sittuation and pull carefully, because war only have a fear that is on 3min cool down. Also im lvling a mage now and also enjoy it. Like the options that i can try out in dealing damage.

Have tried a warlock and hunter which i dont like the idea of  standing behind a pet.

And maybe you could lvl up higher to about 20 to really have a feel about each class. You will have talents to put into the tree to enhance your toon.  But ultimately all of them is button smashing. Depending how you see it. Hope this helps...

If you look at other MMO's on the market, they have the same if not worse interactivity then WoW as far as skills are concerned. Sounds to me your just not interested in the game world. Try reading a few of those quests descriptions, slow down abit and take in the sights.

Alternatively, I found Warriors, Mages and Rogues quite fun as far as interactivity is concerned. They can be quite fast n' furious.

If your still not having fun, maybe WoW's not your cup of tea.

Did you get to lvl 10 with your hunter  you get to tame pets then and it starts to get interesting, as too other classes only hunter every got my attention.

I have played all the classes and the only 1 i felt you were always busy with was a priest as you are always kept on your toes,With other classes it was very possible to go afk in a fight with auto attack on or even if you werent afk just mash the same 3 keys.As someone else has posted maybe best you lvl to around 20 as you would have been in a few groups by then and also your 1st instance.Another thing is though with a holy priest is a heavy grind and you dont really feel the benefit till you are a higher lvl and in alot of groups.Just my thoughts and experenice in the game.

Right.. I disagree, the only really boring classes are hunter and paladin in my opinion. With every other class you can actually play with a build that requires interaction.

I suggest you atleast play a class to level 10 no matter how boring it feels as that's when it gets interesting
Warlocks get a bigger meaner demon
Warriors a new stance
Hunters get their pet, which is a major thing and actually quite a minigame in itself
Druids get their first shapeshift form (bear)

and so on

You also start earning talentpoints at that level

((And it sounds like you want a Rogue speaking of which, that's the most intense and demanding class in solo-PvE as far as I know))

All classes are easy to play at low level.

However if you want more of a challenge then - get to higher level, group with other people, and try to not only get by with being a merely average member of your class, but excel at it.

Some classes also play very differently in pvp. Perhaps that will give you a challenge (although avoid the 10-19 and 20-29 BGs - too many twinks there).

There are also some builds that are a little more repetitive - for example combat rogues and fire mages may use a smaller number of skills than other talent builds. The worst example is holy paladins - for a class that is primarily used as a healer at high level they have remarkably few healing skills.

Someone mentioned hunters are easy to play. They aren't. Not in an instance at high level where you have to worry about chain trapping, shot rotations, protecting the healer, kiting, using misdirection to build aggro on the tank, keeping their pet alive, making sure their pet doesn't pull any adds and managing their own aggro. Most hunters fail - perhaps you think they are easy to play because you have never seen a good one.

Different classes also present different sorts of challenge - for example rogues may require fast reflexes to maintain a stunlock, warriors require a great deal of tactical awareness to tank well, whilst shamen and warlocks have to manage a vast range of skills and pick the right one in the right situation.
