I used open raid before i joined a raiding guild - never liked oQueue myself.

Yea, I did the same thing. OpenRaid takes a little more investment, but it pays off big time. I've always experienced good raids using OpenRaid. Can't say the same about oQueue

Are they more pickup style or more scheduled style?

So for someone that is only used to SWTOR, what class would you suggest for their first time playing? I'm obviously thinking a DPS. For me, I've played WoW so long they all seem easy, but I realized this may not be the case to a true WoW noob.

I'll show him about addons and stuff, so he won't be that dude that's like hey, someone link meters! (seriously? take 2 seconds and install Recount?)

I don't know if he'd want the option of playing a different role, so a DPS like druid or paladin, would give those options.

I suppose it may be a moot point question... all the classes are easy. lol

4 burdens and no rings/neck to use them on. I'm really tempted to just level my other characters to 90 for the chests hoping to get them. I'm still using green rings

Just buy the Justice Point Rings or something if you're trying to get off the island and start the raids. Raidings barrier to entry is so much smaller now.

I have been playin around on a disc priest alt lately, up to 48 now, atonement healing in pugs is pretty fun. Haven't tried monk yet, I hear mixed things about them.

I'm only doing level 30-40 dungeons right now so it's mainly just steamrolling shit with 5 heirloom'd out people, but from what level 90's tanking raids tell me if you stop paying attention for a split second shit will get real bad real fast.

So further update with trying a tank, got my brewmaster monk up to 42:

Toxixs @ Blades Edge - Community - World of Warcraft

I will go on the record right now and say, officially, this is the most fucked up, unfair, OP class to ever appear in this game.

When I was leveling up, on more than a handful of occasions did our tank and/or healer (sometimes both) leave the group, and myself (mage) and 2 DPS monks finished the dungeon no problem.

No class will be as OP as the 1st edition Blood DKs. LOLfest in BGs and 2 could duo the first few BC dungeons easily

I have buddies that say they wont engage a Monk in PVP unless they have all CD's ready and with less than 2 people backing them up, and even then if it takes 10 minutes of all 3 of them fighting him to win they get super excited and proud.

I do know DK's were stupid OP, I wonder if this "new class is OP" trend is going to be a thing forever.

I switched my Main over to the Monk Tank when I came back a couple months ago. He was really OP leveling up. Even without Heirlooms (Cross server wasnt available yet), I was still doing better DPS than most people decked out in them. After spending some time with other tanks on varying difficulties of SoO though, I still find that I think the Paladin is a better Tank. Most paladins I run up against do about 10k healing/ps more than I do, per fight, on average. Take less spike damage than other tanks. Have better CD's than most classes and lastly.. the Paladins Im around typically do more DPS than I do. I would just think I suck at my rotation or something, but I usually out DPS Warrior, DK and Druid Tanks in comparison. Though, none of the tanks are necessarily shitty in regards to each other. I just think the Paladin has the upper hand.

Oh, and yea... playing a DK tank when they came out was good times.
