I dont know which is worse

Upon leveling my pala, i realized that between level 1 and level 20, i've been doing three things.
1. Judgment of Light.
2. Auto Attack.
3. Hammer of Justice.

That's it. And i save my hammer for certain occassions, like when i dip below 50% health, or if there's two mobs on me. i save my hand of protection for when i need to run and reset the fight (and that's usually only due to having pulled too many mobs).

but otherwise, here is how i fight with my pala...
run in, Judge, then stand there and auto attack. wait about 8 seconds and then blast them again with a judgment of light. then, when im not bored out of my mind, i might get an extra add, that means i switch targets and either hammer him or judge. wow. the choices!

that's basically it. can you now blame arthas for leaving the paladining ways of life? i dont. he turned away to see better, more exiciting forms of combat. but this all happened before TBC, so palas didnt have divine storm, etc. they were stuck with crusader strike forever. yay! something for me to look forward to. i hear that i get to train for exorcism at 20. i've yet to visit the trainer, but yay! another attack. hope this doesnt have an 8 second cooldown. heck, even caster spells dont have a cast time that's 8 seconds. 8 horribly long seconds, at melee. how broken.


so what can be worse? take, for instance, a druid. i've leveled two and so i know it sucks the first 20 levels. why did it suck? i was casting a spell i will never use after level 20. yes, that's how broken it seems to me. but i guess they want us to know that we can be a caster or a seudo-rogue if we wanted to. dont be a bear because you'll take years to level. but really. as a druid all i did for 20 levels was cast wrath. and maybe a rejuvenation every once in a while. thats it. stand at range, wrath x3, collect. every now and then i'd get a crit, so i would only have to cast wrath... 3 times again! cos you know. that crit only got the mob down to 20 health. the rest needs, yep, another wrath to finish it off. melee wont work because my weapon skill is zero. getting hit four times will kill me, yet it will take thorns about 10 hits to actually kill the mob. useless in solo? yes.


so which is better? or worse? doing one special move every 8-10 seconds with auto-attacks in between? or spamming one spell over and over and over and over again? either way, i've put my brain on auto-pilot more times than i can remember. and its only been with these two classes.

whats more fun?
1. mage: fire fire/frost/arcane stuffs out of my hand. frost nova. run a bit. fire some more.

2. rogue: stealth, open with a move. go to 5 combo points. dont use finisher because mob is dead.

3a. warlock: send in pet. put up my two DoTs. dont spam nukes cos i'll pull aggro off the mob. wait. wait. wait. ok collect loot.
3b. warlock: curse, corruption. tab, curse, corruption. tab, curse corruption. howl of terror. fear last mob, reapply DoTs on first/second mob. lifetap. have fun looking for their dead bodies (ok, this method is best used at around level 40, so disregard 3b).

4. hunter: send in pet. pull aggro. frost trap. run away mixing in a few turn-around arcane jump shots.

5. warrior: i started off fury. it was horrible. i forgot everything there is to know about fury. omg. head hurts. prot is so much more fun.... in outlands.

6. priest: no matter what spec, at level 1-20, always, ALWAYS use holy fire. the dot from it will kill your mob by the time they get to you. as shadow, you can mindflay after casting pain. so holy fire, shadow word pain, then mindflay/smite/mindblast and your mob should be dead before they even get to you.

7. dk: there's so much to learn in the first 2 hours of play, only 10% of the people actually "get it" and contribute to a group. the minimum they will do is add the haste buff, or disease buff. or something. meh. dk's dont count in this analysis. a perfectly imperfect analysis, mind you.

i've never really cared too much about shamans. so, sorry if i left that out. im just as bad with warriors, but at least i get a good charge opener.
