Which class is best for beginners?
Mage, Paladin, Hunter and Druid fight at range with dependable escapes — the friendliest starts. Warrior and Priest reward careful positioning with huge control kits. Rogue is the high-tempo expert pick, and Warlock/Shaman sit in between with attrition and totem play. Every guide includes difficulty notes and level-up priorities.
