personally i never played vanilla wow, i started in wotlk. since classic was announced ive been reading about character builds in vanilla - it seems there were a handful which were top shit like warrior tanks, holy priest healers, dps rogues etc.

was just wandering did anyone here go off the beaten path a little bit and try out character builds that didn't conform at the time? for example a dps shadow priest or whatever

Ret pally.
Seriously I got shouted so many times, not even in raids, for playing one. It wasn’t high optimised and did fall behind in longer fights, but still I enjoyed it so why do some peep have problem with this?

Combat rogue was the shit. Seriously badass dual wielding swords when the only other class that could was warr

Shaman tank with earth shield and mail?

kappa

I heard that feral spec druids weren't very popular in vanilla but could put out some serious dps from stealth if they got lucky with crits.

I'm pretty sure fire mages were really good up until 20, then they started to suck. After that everyone goes frost...

Any smite priests fans?

Feral druids can do some pretty good damage in raids by constantly changing forms with the help of the Furor talent and Wolfshead Helm

It's actually quite an interesting spec since you actually have to pay some attention and is somewhat skill based (no spamming frostbolt etc.).
