[quote name='Roufuss']They have the potential to do well, but I know when I played there were too many shaman's at level 60, and most people preferred a priest over them to heal or a warrior to deal straight DPS (or absorb it).
I'm not saying Shaman's are flat out bad, but I imagine if times are still the same they are hugely overpopulated, and I know alot of level 60 Shaman friends had trouble getting into a guild or even getting into instances since there was just so many of them. I can imagine now that everyone in the world is going to be a Draenai Shaman or a Blood Elf Paladin. I think I'm rolling a priest with one of the new characters, cause everyone needs a priest.
Hunters have it ALOT worse. They aren't ever really needed in instances, and when I played many people despised them.
Things are probably alot different now. I remember when Molten Core was brand new

What guild was your friend in? I noticed alot of Shaman's I know ended up just making their own guild too because well, this way they couldn't get denied into a guild
The game had a very elitist attitude at level 60, but that was before half the free world played it.[/quote]
Yeah, I can imagine hunters have it the worst. I originally made a hunter but I just wasn't that thrilled with them. They were fun to play as, but I couldn't see myself going all the way to 60 with one.
My friend was in Served on Nathrezim. It was hard to keep up with what the guild's name was because they definitely ended up changing guilds multiple times. They were basically the premiere Hoarde guild on Nathrezim for awhile. But he actually didn't create it, he sort of inherited it when the original leader decided to retire from WoW.
And there are DEFINITELY a lot of Draenei shamans. I'm still not sure if I'm gonna stick with a shaman. I had my most fun playing as a Tauren warrior so I may end up restarting as a Draenei warrior. I chose to go shaman for now because my friend and I are gonna try playing together and he's looking at being a Dwarven hunter so I figured we might need someway to heal ourselves down the road. But I'm not sure how it'd go if I went as a pure tank while he went pure DPS and relied on food and potions to heal.
